Louis Vuitton Kimono Handbag

This is an authentic LV handbag Kimono it is in very good condition. The issue is with the handles. I had it brought to LV and they wanted $700 to replace. The 2 handles have a bend in them. I had the handles professional sewn to the bag. not visible. The bag looks like it was never used. Included is picture from store and letter from the store
