I have always wanted a Louis Vuitton Singapore bag since the 80′s and decided to just go for it in 2006. I bought the Speedy 30 and the Groom Series (with the hotel porter) wallet. I love the wallet and it has served me well over the years. Although there is some deterioration of the red stripe, this is considered reasonable because I used it almost daily.
I use my Speedy purse maybe 20% of the time. First of all – I bought it in 2006 and paid $620. That bag is now $700. The dollar has depreciated against the euro but really, a 12% increase for a canvas bag? This could be considered a good investment and yet allow me to use it.
However, about 6 months ago I discovered a bump in the leather seam on the bottom of the bag. The leather looked as though it was wearing too thin and exposing the plastic underneath. Apparently plastic is what really holds the bag together. The leather seems to be entirely cosmetic.
Louis Vuitton Singapore Shop
I went to LV yesterday to get my bag fixed. The sales person inspected the bag and told me that it’s past its 1-year warranty and there would be a charge of $70. I became upset and asked for the manager. The manager eventually agreed to waive the repair fee.
Although my bag will be fixed for free, I’m still very disappointed in Louis Vuitton. Their bags are expensive and should be good quality and not just status associated with them. Their monogram canvas collection appears to have become mass market now. I believe that no quality or exclusivity is associated with it any more (except for the trunks and custom orders).
I took a 20 year-old bucket LV bag to a well-recommended purse repair shop. The owner gave me an earful about my Speedy. Compared to the old bucket bag, my bag seemed of a lesser quality, and mass-produced. The owner pointed out how cheap and thin they thought the leather was.
