Wondering if the crooked stitch on your Pochette Metis handle is normal? Or those wrinkles on the side of your Speedy Bandouliere? What about the little nick in the leather on the tab on your Pochette Accessoires? Scratched up button on your Victorine wallet? Unexplained dots on your Escale canvas? Worn off glazing on your Neverfull after only 1 month? Should you return/exchange?
We get A LOT of "Is this normal?" threads here on the LV forum. Just doing a quick search for "is this normal" in the LV forum ONLY, and ONLY searching titles,
there are over 200 thread asking "Is this normal?" To ensure there's a single place for you to ask questions and get answers from people, and maybe make it easier for others after you with similar concerns, please ask them here.
Another suggestion: Please do a search of the LV forum.
