Odeon MM hardware scratches issues

Hi y’all i was wondering if anybody who has the Odeon MM. hows the zippers and rings in your bag? Would love to see a pic!
So i bought the Odeon MM but returned it 2 weeks later as the rings was peeling. I was allowed to exchange or get a new bag! A week later i decided to go back to LV and buy it again. I notice that it looks like this (pic) i ask the CA if i can get another one to compare but she told me its normal. I left the store as i wasn’t getting anywhere with her. I ordered it online instead but again also notice the same it’s heavily scratched. I know this is inevitable. Metal rubbing metal equals scratches. Tell me would you buy this?

Update: Everyday crossbody recs

My closest LV is 2 hrs away so hoping to streamline my choice and make a purchase in a single trip!

I am looking to down size. Currently carry Neverful GM or Speedy B 35 as an everyday bag so when I say down size I mean relatively speaking. Not likely to ever carry a bb size. I mostly carry on my shoulder though like a cross body option. Since I carry a bigger bag I like canvas to keep it light.

I am pretty obsessed with the NeoNoe monogram with noir details but obviously have never tried this on. See lots of posts on the Odeon.

Would welcome any input on NeoNoe and suggests for other bags I should consider. Oh and can the NeoNoe accommodate a long wallet?

Who else cannot see the beauty of Damier Ebene?

I'm a fan of LV but I honestly can't say I've ever loved the look of damier ebene. I get why people like it. It's more low key and it has no vachetta which are both pluses in my eyes. But just from an aesthetic standpoint I don't find it attractive. The brown shade is a little off for me. While I know I don't need to find it attractive, I'd like to hear from folks who feel the same way or even love DE. What do you love or dislike about it? The only bag I've actually really liked in DE is the alma bb, but even then I like the monogram one so much more.

Ceejay

It is with great sadness that Megs and I learned that Claudia Long, a.k.a. Ceejay, passed away this past Sunday. Claudia’s husband Paul shared the terrible news with us and said that he wanted Claudia’s friends, who she loved chatting with over the years, to know.

Claudia was a long-time O.G., prolific contributor of the TPF community, and she was very active in this Bal and Celebrity forums. According to Paul, this community meant a lot to Claudia and she spoke of her friends on TPF often.

We are so saddened by her sudden passing and wish sincere condolences to Paul, her family and her TPF friends.
