Interesting to see the repair job but I wouldn't pay $800 for one of those. I don't personally like the LV logo plastered everywhere on their products, it's too showy and ostentatious (but that is the point, to suck in a lot of wannabe's). It doesn't impress me as a brand. Nor do I like the synthetic material they use. Why not use leather? LV is a really good example of a luxury brand moving downstream and making high end goods not luxury goods to expand their market. I have been reading the Luxury Strategy by Kasperer and Bastens. It explains this strategy that many so called luxury brands pursue.
There is a lotbodnlqbornthatbgoninto many of these kinds of wallets with super thin leather and fabric linings. But the durability and quality is just not there. I think LV is making a killing on their LV fabric, that so many people think is leather.

That's pretty interesting, although I'm not fond of making repairs on leather goods made by others.
Price wise, I believe a product is worth as much as a customer is willing to pay.
But I also firmly believe that a skilled artisan would do a better wallet than this LV one.
