Hi! I purchased this Epi Malesherbes and received it yesterday. Everything is AOk as I posted it on "authenticate this LV". However when I opened up the zipper pocket, it was encrusted in this black sticky goo. I then realized when I got a flashlight on it, the inner leather of the pocket seems to be somewhat deteriorating. I've since heard this sometimes happens with the older EPI bags. What to do?

The only way is to get the lining replaced.

I just read her description...very interesting... Lined in black cowhide leather, extremely clean, inside and outside. Inside is a zipper pocket and a slit pocket. There is a little wear to note at the bottom of the inside zipper pocket only, no stickiness. There is a brass Louis Vuitton incised turn knob closure on the front in excellent working order.

Eek, it's a good thing you told her about the pocket. I wonder how many times she has relisted it, maybe when she first listed it, it wasn't sticky?
Not sure.

She emailed me and said she would pay $75 toward having the pocket replaced. I am willing to have it replaced, but I bet it's huge $$$. Any advice?

PS Certainly she knew about the pocket. Along with the silica packet she had placed in the pocket, she also stuffed the pocket with tissue. I receive purses with the body stuffed with tissue, but stuffing the pocket? Pleeez!
