Mulesaw Report post Posted May 8 (edited) This time at home, a customer asked if I could have a look at her Louis Vuitton bag where the upper folded leather edge had almost completely deteriorated. I had some light beige pig skin that looked like it was the same that was used originally, and I googled to see if LV used pigskin, and the page I found confirmed this. A trip to the local sewing shop to find a matching colour of yellow and then it was just a matter of carefully removing the old one and sewing on a new edge. The customer had at one point renewed the closure strap with some fairly thin leather strap. She asked if I could see if I could find something a bit beefier. After some Googling I found a picture of the same model of bag, and it looked as it was originally made with a sewn closure strap matching the upper edge. End result: A happy customer and a bag that can be used for a couple of years more. Edited May 8 by Mulesaw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Denmark most people automatically assume that if you have a bag like this, it is a fake that is bought in Thailand. But it was really well made, so it might have been real.

The customer heard about me from a friend of hers, whose bag I have repaired about 2 years ago. Also some LV bag as far as I remember.
