SoleHeeled offers convenient and affordable Louis Vuitton handbag repairs by Australia’s best craftsmen, with free shipping to your door. This case study outlines how we recently restored a customer’s Louis Vuitton handbag.
The handbag
This Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis handbag was in great condition, but the latch hardware had come apart entirely. When the customer reached out to us for a free diagnosis/quote, we offered to repair the original latch.
Latch repair
We recommended a repair of the existing hardware in this case because sourcing original Louis Vuitton hardware is often impossible, especially on older model bags, and because the latch on this bag is quite unique in appearance, such that any non-original replacement would significantly alter the bag’s character.
Upon inspecting the latch, we noticed that one of the pins used to hold the metallic pieces comprising the latch had fallen out, while the other had also started to loosen. So we replaced the missing and loose pins with rivets that were fixed in place.
