We can customize the color or patina shade for the leather replacement on your bag.

You can choose

1) Natural Vachetta

2) Tan Vachetta

3) Dark Tan Vachetta

This is What’s Included in the Package 

1) New Rolled Handles

• the handles are 15” long, making them slightly longer than the original ones.  This is not very noticeable when looking at the bag, but it will be noticeable to you when using the bag and you feel how much easier the handles fit on the inner elbow crease.
  
• The handles will have yellow stitching like your original handles and a red edging that your handles originally had even if they’ve now faded  

2) Matching leather strap holders that are sewn on the bag. 

• The strap holders will be in the same shape and design as the original and match almost identical.  We will use new LV stamped rivets if your existing ones can’t be cleaned or if they break during removal  
• These pieces will match the leather patina you pick for the bag restoration. 
  
  
• We will try to clean the existing handle hardware, but if it is to deteriorated, we will use new handle hardware.  The existing hardware is not LV stamped, so you will not be able to tell if we do use new hardware that there is any difference from the original. 

3) Tabs on both sides of the zippers 

• We will replace both side zipper tabs in a similar style to the original.  
  
  
• Please note that there is a heat stamp on one of the tabs that will not be able to be replicated.  We can not do a proprietary heat stamp. 

4) Tabs on both sides of the zippers 

• We will replace the zipper pull and use a new LV rivet.  
  
  
• VERY IMPORTANT: try not to close the zipper by pulling on the leather, grasp it by the hardware and it’ll last a lot longer.  
  
  

5) Cleaning 

• We will surface clean the inside of the bag. 
  
  
• We will clean and shine the outside monogram. 
  
  
• We will add a purse organizer to the inside of the bag to give your bag support and structure.  
  
  

5) ADD ONS 

• If your corners are scuffed, ripped or if you have wire breakthrough, please let us know and you can add on corner repairs   
  
  
• Side tabs to make your bag into a Bandolier style speedy.  We can add small tabs like the newer models show, or do the long strip strap holder like the traditional speedy bandolier
  

• Cracks on the monogram. If you have cracks we can repair them in most cases.   
  
  
• If you have severe cracking running down both sides of the zipper, we can make a matching leather trim to cover them that we stitch to both sides of the zipper.  It looks very beautiful and is a nice addition.
