Default Mini lin speedy question about the heat stamp
I have a speedy 30 in the Mini Lin and the "Louis Vuitton Made in paris" heat stamp is barely visible on the leather tag. Is this normal, or was mine made wrong? The other styles seem to have more visible heat stamps. I know it's real because I bought it at the boutique in Paris...but I am just wondering if mine has a mistake on it...

Sometimes the heatstamps are not properly impressed on the leather. Remember that leather is an organic material so it will take stuff differently. I have a vache tab with this light impression as well. Enjoy your Mini Lin. I read here that it will be discontinued soon.

I have the ML Speedy in both ebene and dune -- the heat stamp is hard to see on both of them. I think it's because the leather tab is sorta grained, textured, something like that, and the stamp doesn't show up very well.

That is very normal. I have a dune and an ebene mini lin and they are very lightly stamped.
