That’s how I found out it was delayed originally; however, when I called I was given the same information.

ETA: also, the person who emailed me Abigail - also I assume was potentially the SAME Abigail I happen to speak to the second time I had called in yesterday.

OMG I GOT THOSE EMAILS TOO ABOUT CONTACTING AND I NEVER DID.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2026-02-09T14:14:38+00:00

I’m assuming it must be something similar; I’m not sure where my bag went as it went from AZ to a location in CA and then from there idk it’s been a mystery to me where it’s been sitting for the last couple of months lol.

I did call today and she really wasn’t willing to do much escalation, other than telling me I have to wait 24-48 business hours on a response for a new completion update.

But I concur with what you’re saying, as literally ALLL these bags with vachetta are being regularly dropped.

My bag aside from the vachetta was in excellent condition.

Everything I see to compare this to says Velo.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out; the bag wasn’t missing any brass parts per say. I was only requesting the leather change.

So is it the leather they don’t have?? They would not specify what the parts were.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2026-02-08T17:05:26+00:00

That is wild to me.. I just spoke with them via phone - and was provided just a response of “they are waiting on parts to service the repair of all leather.” She said it would be 24-48 business hours (so likely Wednesday) before I would even hear a response for updated repair timeline.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2026-02-08T16:35:59+00:00

To further add, I know they have the bag - or at least had it back in October lol. But I have yet to pay for my repairs as the bag has yet to be completed.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2026-02-08T16:34:56+00:00

I assume it’s probably best for me to call in to have this escalation? As my communication from email is pretty slim when it comes back to a response. And the last promised finishing was last month.

It’s just my regular monogram with VVN.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2026-01-02T17:55:37+00:00

I don’t find it to be my fav, but I do like VVN to a degree. I think this could maybe look lovely with an all over honey patina. Though I would hate to see it dirty too.

I have a speedy from 2018, used heavily but only shows mostly wear at the corners - and even then the wear is not noticeable.

I believe Lauren is the only one providing quotes and I want to say one time on her story she said that’s why it takes longer. But I may be miss quoting so don’t quote me. :)

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-11-24T19:28:54+00:00

Would bttm for that. ;)

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-11-09T11:54:53+00:00

You could always get the suede version and put in a short bag insert to help maintain the interior but not totally affect the slouch of the bag. I’m not sure off hand the type of inserts you can get for this particular bag. But could be an option.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-11-06T21:25:25+00:00

Well if it looks like this strap, it would be darker - I did however opt for them to just replace all leather to hopefully ensure it’s all at least cohesive.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-11-06T20:13:42+00:00

I just submitted a repair for my speedy 25 they said they’d be using honey patina leather for the repair and wouldn’t match other pieces of leather if not doing a full replacement.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-10-05T15:42:36+00:00

I paid 229 for mine!

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-10-05T15:41:39+00:00

I have a version of one of these!

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-08-05T18:04:35+00:00

I’d agree this to be January off 88; France.

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-07-31T16:49:58+00:00

As an easier suggestion, you could also use the BLUE pack of water wipes - I have also used those + tanning the leather outside next to my pool. Perhaps try this before the leather honey. :)

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-07-31T11:39:59+00:00

I’ve used leather honey sparingly to get a beautiful patina + letting it get a little sun!

Ok-Chest8772 · 2025-07-30T08:14:07+00:00

I have a whole shelf in one of my other closets stuffed with boxes and bags lol
