The LV Rescue Club

Spring is on its way, which for me use to mean time for a new purse! Boy what a difference a recession makes, it wont be happening this upcoming season at least not the purse I dream about but, I digress. Sometimes, you have an item thats sentimental value out weighs any price. I've felt this way about my Louis Vuitton bag for some time now. Instructed by my mother not to come back outside with this purse, the reasons behind me keeping this worn classic accessory go beyond looks. In any attempt to bring it back to life, I came across a post on purse forum about the replacement of Louis Vuitton purse parts. Alas, someone in bag heaven was listening and in the business of making my wishes come true. Read on....

 "After searching for a Graffiti Speedy for two years, I was unable to find one in my price range in the condition I desired. So I looked into vachetta replacement and decided that was the way to revitalize a well loved bag. After finding him on eBay, I dropped him off at my boutique. Three weeks later, he was back and stunning. Here are the before and after pics."-Purse Forum Member

I will be dropping my speedy off, this weekend at my local LV store, and I will post before and after photos when the bag is reconstructed. I was told the process takes about three weeks, they will fix any Louis Vuiton purse, as long of course as it it authentic. And if you cannot drop off your handbag you can have it shipped to an LV store and they will take care of it. How awesome is that? #BEATBEINGBASIC
