Question about Mutil Speedies

[milionaire_wife]

My husband just brought me a brand new white multi speedy this xmas.

I have heard from a few MC owners that dis-coloration on the front pocket is a common problem.

How can I avoid this ever happening to my beloved brand new multi?? Advice?

i know there were alot of problems when they first introduced the MC line, but i thought that they were able to correct the discoloration problem.

Oh really? Thanks for replying, I wasn't aware of that. Sounds like LV has probably corrected that problem on their new bags.

The front pocket of my original 2003 MC speedy turned yellow. After months of aggrevation, stress, and 2 botched repair jobs I was given a new 2007 speedy as a replacement. I wouldn't be 100% the issue won't happen again. When I was going through my ordeal earlier this year, a fellow boardie had the yellowing happen on a 2007 white MC (not a speedy) she bought from elux. There's nothing you can do to prevent it from happening. If it's going to happen, it will.

I forgot to mention I had the same problem happen with my white MC mini HL, and my bag was replaced with no questions asked. Also a 2003 bag.

Apparently LV advises that the bag be stored out of direct light and in its dustbag when not in use to prevent this...

I've had mine for a year, and it still looks really good. I think this just happens with lighter bags.

Usually, LV is pretty good when it comes to replacing their defective items. Hopefully you won't have to experience that !!

what about on the black MC speedy?

No issues. The issue with the white is that the red interior bleeds through.

I too believe that the cause of this is leaving the bag in contact with sunlight for a prolonged period of time...
