I went back to LV yesterday to bring my Indigo Bedford in. My SA looked at it and told me it was clearly a defective bag!
She also pointed out some other defects I didn't think were that bad---big dent in the back(I thought it would eventually come out if I stuffed it, but she said they may have stored and shipped it improperly and it may never come out---considered a defect) and dirt&glue coming out of the part of the piping that was coming loose. She said they never would have sold that bag to anyone if it had been at her store. I know a couple other PFers have told me about getting damaged/defective bags from there so I wasn't suprised when my SA told me she's had probs with that store before.
I tried on a Black Epi Soufflot with gold hardware(I requested to have it transfered in for me since the 866 rep said there were only a couple left in the nation with the gold hardware---they were sooo awesome to get in it super fast for me!) and a Red Epi Speedy 25 with silver hardware. Let me just say I was in looooove with both pieces--esp the Soufflot!!! It is so easy to get in and out of the bag thanks to the zipper that wraps around down the sides and it was soooo light. I love love love it. Ok, I may have to take after Bags4Me and collect Soufflots on every color!
Anyhoo, I looked at an Indigo bedford she had in stock(didn't know that they even had one in stock!)It was in great shape except for a light honey patina, but I had already fallen in love with the Soufflot. Honestly, I didn't think I would like the Epi line so much until I tried it on in person. I want more now. LOL.
Here are pics of the first Epi bags to join my collection...
