LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

What would you do?

I received a psm from a designer handbag consignment shop that is pretty reputable in Texas. When I got the bag I went ahead and checked with Pro Authenticators about the bag. They said the bag is authentic but the care card and dustbag are not. They said this happens when someone has both a fake and authentic in their possession. For peace of mind I am also getting it looked at by ******************. Is it likely someone would sell a real bag and fake accessories to this store? Should I just return the bag and look for another?
 
I was lucky enough to snag a PSM in reverse mono online after a bit of stalking. Picked it up from my boutique today and when I got home I noticed the metal hardware wasn't the same shade of gold. The d rings in back were a slightly different tone compared to the zippers, but most noticeably the two clasps for the longer straps are completely different shades of gold. I know where was an issue with mismatched hardware with the speedys, but has anyone ever had this problem with their PSM?
 
Just got this as a anniversary present and it’s still really hard to come by. Mine is made in France with the black nylon lining. I read here that some are black cloth lining? Just wonder why the lining is different.

i actually think i wanna cry. after having this bag lost in transit for a few weeks, it finally turned up. i picked up on the 2nd of august and been using it on and off since. today, i was just looking and admiring the bag to only notice that the lip of the bag is riddled with zipper imprints. it looks like during production someone clamped the **** out of the zipper to the lip leaving deep imprints into the canvas. i'm just upset because i can't believe it, it's a brand-new bag.

Hey guys

After lurking for months admiring everyone's bags, I FINAAALLY got one. However, can't tell if the misalignment is normal? Front and back are okay but the sides.. any advice would be much appreciate .

I'm going to be honest, this feels like a Highlights spot the difference photo and I can't find anything to circle. They both look fine, so just go with your gut.
Same here I glanced at the pictures with the bags side by side but couldn’t pick up discernible differences. Go with whichever one feels best to you!
 
Received my PSM yesterday, and noticed quite a lot of slight misalignments on the canvas. However, they’re growing on me and I think they’re kind of cute and I wouldn’t have noticed them if I don’t go through this thread! Anyway, is this acceptable for most you?
