Canvas integrity? No.My biggest concern about display items is how many hours it has spent sitting under/over a display light...I've handled a few display bags that felt a bit too warm for my liking, I'd be slightly concerned about the canvas integrity.
With that said, if upon inspection nothing is wrong with it, and it's a hard to find item that I wouldn't be able to get my hands on otherwise, I wouldn't mind purchasing a display item.
Heat can degrade certain materials over time. I haven’t tested the canvas or know enough to be sure; I’m just pointing out something that is not completely impossible as a scientist. You can disagree, that’s fine. I’m not a particularly picky person when it comes to my bags. I have brought home bags with less than perfect zippers, display items, and things that many people here would call “defects”.Canvas integrity? No.
I am the king of leaving my LV out in the extreme heat, boy can the canvas can flex 90 degrees when hot! But I haven't dared to flex them though.Heat can degrade certain materials over time.

That’s good, glad to hear.I am the king of leaving my LV out in the extreme heat, boy can the canvas can flex 90 degrees when hot! But I haven't dared to flex them though.
But I wanted to share, it better not to leave your LV out in the heat. I do feel like overtime it going to damage them for sure.That’s good, glad to hear.
