Louis Vuitton Repair // My Experience Getting My Preloved Bag Repaired

[@meshamessenger316]

The fact that they fixed it at a Louis Vuitton store is all the authentication you need, They would never repair a fake bag, they send it back when they discover it isn’t real. Trust me, I’ve been duped before- got sold a fake bag, took it in, the LV repair dept. sent it back with a statement that they only repair items made by Louis Vuitton.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

I am so sorry that happened to you. I must say I was relieved when they repaired it since I had not had the bag authenticated before. 💖

[@meshamessenger316]

50plusluxurystyle oh I got my money back and scolded her for it, trust me.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Mesha Messenger Thank goodness you were able to get your $ back- there are so many scammmers nowadays

[@SENIORSTYLE]

What a great bag I am glad you got the matching pouch it really makes the bag love the vintage

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Yes, so excited that I was able to get the matching pouch! TFW! 😍

[@cassandra2685]

Great video, Your bag looks great 👍 I also bought this bag pre loved for only $150.00 but the entire lining was destroyed. I took it to the NYC LV store and they shipped it to refurbish it for about $117.00 a few years ago. It looks brand new now and I love it. I can most likely resell it for 800.00 now ...

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Thanks for sharing!

[@cocacolagrl100]

I have a petite bucket bag and like you I repaired the top trim..however when I got it back I didn’t like how it didn’t match the rest of the vachetta..I sent it back and they changed the rest and now it looks like a brand new bag and it’s been in the dust bag since then. It’s something I will keep forever

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi Christine. I am sure they bag looks amazing with all new vachetta. I still toggle back and forth on whether I should change the rest of the vachetta. 😍

[@wonstr]

Did they bre place the lining with the same plasticky material or a fabric?

[@50plusluxurystyle]

The lining had been replaced by LV prior to my purchasing the bag and yes, it is a wipeable interior, not fabric.

[@reneepierce610]

Just FYI that’s not the pouch that comes with the bag. Totally different style but so awesome you got it for only $300! Congrats!

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Great catch - I agree!! I have seen preloved pouches being sold for this bag & they were not exactly as this one. I think mine is a bit larger (?) nevertheless I was thrilled to get it! 💗

[@aidahoe2946]

Omg i want the pochette size that came with bucket!! Mini pochette can’t fit my iphone 8+

[@50plusluxurystyle]

😊 They sometimes show up on Fashionphile and eBay if you can't order it as a replacement.

[@leo_lion_lv]

This will be very helpful for so many. You look so pretty today!! XOXO

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Thanks for watching Linda - I am very excited to have my bucket bag back.😍

[@llnut4775]

Wow how nice of them to find you the pouch as well.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Yes!!! I was very, very happy!!! ❤️

[@makeupnmedicine]

What a great find! I would have splurged for the original pouch too.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi! I did! I was able to order the pouch from the LV store. Thanks for watching. ❤️

[@Jess-so4wr]

@@50plusluxurystyle The pouch is gorgeous! What price did they charge you for it and the general bag repair? Thanks so much xx

[@50plusluxurystyle]

@@Jess-so4wr I'll look it up this weekend and let you know. I can't remember off the top of my head but the pouch was more than the repair as all they did was fix the little "stud" that holds the strap.

[@Jess-so4wr]

@@50plusluxurystyle Thanks so much :)

[@louisfleurdelis8941]

I have that same bag that’s in great condition and I purchased from Fashionable a long time ago. The bag didn’t come with the pouch and at first I didn’t care because I own the mini pochette in all 3 prints and I own the pochette accessoire but I decided to get the pouch because the in monogram and Damier Azur but prices keep going up and I know the pouch will be a good investment plus it’s a piece of the bag that’s missing. I’m glad I order the pouch I will said it’s one of the cheapest SLG I have gotten in a while . I love watching your videos they are very informative.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Thanks! I agree- ordering the pouch was a great decision! 💗

[@jaymeetran2318]

Hi! Do you have the item # for the pouch? I am looking to add one for mine as well

[@louisfleurdelis8941]

@@jaymeetran2318 you have to email the the [e-mail] with pictures of the bag or take your bag into a store and after they check your bag to make sure it’s authentic they will place the other for the replacement piece. They know the number and everything.

[@louisfleurdelis8941]

@@jaymeetran2318 the price for the new replacement pochette was $240 and no tax if they place the other for the replacement pouch at the store they might be some kind of tax not sure. I made a video of the unboxing of the pouch if you wand to see what it looks like.

[@jaymeetran2318]

How do I order ? Do I need to go to store or I can call?

[@leafarus]

Nice! My mom also has a Bucket Bag GM, and it's her favorite bag. She gave me a vintage Keepall 45 from 1983, the date code is VI 831, the year I was born. The canvas is in perfect condition, but the vachetta was not that good, so I took the bag to the LV store in Boca, and they sent it to repair. It took like 3 months, but it was worth the wait. The bag right now is just perfect and shiny, with a brand new vachetta. The best thing is, they still kept the date code, which I was concerned they could update the date. And i'll be able to patina the leather myself. I just love the LV repair service.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Oh my goodness, congratulations!!! So happy they kept the date code, although I think they only change it out if you repair the interior - enjoy!!

[@bebeeru3066]

Great video! Can you please tell me which store did you go to get your bag repaired? I am in south Florida as well. Happy new year!

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi, I took it in to the store where I regularly shop - Aventura. They sent it out for repair. Good luck with your repair!

[@MrsSparkle]

Thanks for sharing, mine being repair I never knew that they would repair my old bag, lol.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

😀

[@YosheaLux]

Your LV looks amazing! Great to know it’s authentic! ❤️The pouch is a Pochette but smaller...Very nice!! ❤️

[@50plusluxurystyle]

I was very relieved once they looked it up, matched the repair date online and then of course, did the repair. 💖

[@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218]

How much was the original repair to the vachetta trim Hun x

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi! I don't know. I bought it after they repaired it.

[@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218]

50plusluxurystyle Oh sorry I thought it would have been on the receipt the original seller gave you that you provided to Louis Vuitton. Thanks anyway X

[@50plusluxurystyle]

MyHubbyIs LouisVuitton The receipt showed the repair but no price 😀

[@bagit90]

Hello, I don't know if you're still looking for this info. When i purchased my bucket GM the previous owner included the repair receipt. When LV replaced the lining they also replace the top trim. In 2018 it was $150 plus tax. They also replace the leather around the pockets and added a new chain. Just like new.

[@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218]

Bag It That’s so kind and very helpful. I wanted to have the vachetta trim on my Noe and Petit Noe replaced and wanted an indication of the cost as I’d rather have them both repaired at the same time. Thank you so much.😘

[@narelleravesi4993]

So lovely to see you back in business making videos 👏I’m so glad you had such a wonderful experience with this repair,great to hear,💕💕

[@marciamorris6626]

So glad you got your repair and pouch to match. It’s very pretty ! Don’t know how you are getting away with a sweater today , it was 90 in Sarasota and I was dying in a long sleeve gingham blouse ! Would love to hear your thoughts on the new Christmas animation collection . Have a great week ! Blessings and Peace 🙏🏻

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi Marcia, it is just as hot where I am 😂 I got away with it because my husband loves to keep the house at 70 degrees and this is a very, very light sweater, not truly a sweater. I'm wishfully thinking fall will come. I ❤️❤️ the Christmas animation collection - I purchased 2 items and they should have already arrived- I have been traveling so I need to check where they are and will do an unboxing soon.I always ❤️ the Christmas animation. What are your thoughts?

[@VyNguyen-wy3ov]

I got a pre love Ama bb as well. So they don’t ask for receipt of anything ?

[@50plusluxurystyle]

They may - I had a repair receipt and a 4 year purchasing history with them. I would try anyway, let me know how it works out.

[@familia_brain5504]

@@50plusluxurystyle That is what I'm wondering... I purchased a preloved speedy 40 from 1994 and it is in AWESOME condition for it to be so old. I want to replace the vachetta since the pull tab finally came off but I am worried that not having a receipt will be an issue. I recently purchased a neverfull gm and am hoping they will oblige the replacement since I have a darn near $2000 purchase. With your experience... do you have any suggestions for how to approach this? I've heard some say they've received their replacement with no issues or hassles so I'm pretty hopeful but would like your input... please and thank you!

[@50plusluxurystyle]

@@familia_brain5504 Hopefully you have been working with 1 SA at the store, I would go in with the bag, see the same SA and just tell him/ her, "I have a vintage bag and would like the vachetta replaced." I wouldn't say anything else regarding the bag. They generally will give you an approximate cost and tell you how long the repair will take. They may or may not have to speak to someone else regarding cost/ timing but hopefully that should be it. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

[@beacuz]

You are so blessed 😊. Love that lippie on you- just gorgeous 😊

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi Bea! 🥰

[@THE_Lena]

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for the repair?

[@50plusluxurystyle]

It was some time ago but I think it was around $100, however the prices for vachetta replacement & repair in general have increased so I don't know how much it would be now.

[@cynthiaauthenticcyn593]

Great video. I have recently have bought 2 pre loves bags and I would like to eventually repair one of them. I have been told that they won’t repairs them if I don’t have a receipt by some people. I have gotten the bags Authenticated. However is this correct that I need to have a purchase receipt ?

[@50plusluxurystyle]

From what I've heard it varies by location. I also think if you are an established customer it may be simpler- that being said I don't know.

[@Nurse_Tori]

Curious if you were able to get your bag fixed? I bought a neverfull from Le Prix and it needs repair but when I went into a store and asked about repairing a second hand bag they wouldn’t because it wasn’t registered to my account and I had no proof of purchase from the store.

[@ladyb7588]

Beautiful bag!!! Glad everything worked out for you and you were able to get the pouch as well......enjoy ❤

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Thanks!!! I have been enjoying using my bucket bag.

I have this bag too! I purchased it pre-loved, like you, and the lining had already been replaced by LV. I just ordered the pouch as a replacement part. I am so excited! Thanks for showing the pouch comparisons. Does your phone fit in it? They have quoted me $240 for the pouch. I can't wait!

[@bagit90]

Also, it looks like the pouch has been updated from the original version. This looks like a much nicer version, wider with a flat bottom. I'm planning to buy a short gold chain, like the one on the mini, and a long vachetta to wear crossbody. They have some fantastic inexpensive options on Amazon. If you take requests, i would love to see a review and what fits in the pouch. LV has said i won't receive mine until October 2020.

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Congrats!!! I love this bag and the pouch. I'll check to see if the phone fits, to be honest I had not tried to put it in the pouch. 😍

[@50plusluxurystyle]

I agree, this pouch looks a bit different than the original version. Thanks for your video suggestion, I will add it to my list and try to get it up soon. I have been having some issues with my MAC which has slowed me down some. TFW ❤️

Obviously the bag is authentic if it’s already been repaired by LV! If they accept the bag, that means it’s authentic! They WILL NOT TOUCH a fake bag!

[@50plusluxurystyle]

Hi Renee, I was concerned since I had not had the first repair done personally. I purchased the bag & the previous owner already had repaired it but I never authenticated the bag. But yes, LV repairing it definitely means its authentic. Thanks for watching. 😍
