The two pieces of canvas was on one that I recently returned. Think it's just a defect.From what I think I can see, the Girolata on the LV website doesn’t have such stitching and the handles are not as deep. Are you sure this is an authentic bag?
Edit: Here is a bag similar to your friends. While I don’t know whether it’s authentic either, it maybe that they were made differently last year.
May I ask why did you return it? It looks beautiful.The two pieces of canvas was on one that I recently returned. Think it's just a defect.

She will mail the bag out to LV boutique in Canada. It’s a defect I believe. She bought the bag from LV boutique in France. She has a receipt.Push for a replacement. Not color transfer... defective or not authentic.
Thanks, yes I think so too.I think it’s the interior color bleeding through, the bag is authentic.. the white stitching is in the bag on the LV website.
Is the bag on its way back to LV yet?She will mail the bag out to LV boutique in Canada. It’s a defect I believe. She bought the bag from LV boutique in France. She has a receipt.
She said she would mail it today. Hope it arrives at the LV store early next week. Yes I think so too, it’s about pink lining. Will keep everyone posted what they get back to herIs the bag on its way back to LV yet?
Just to reiterate, I don't think it is colour transfer from clothing. My point was it was too uniform and all round for that to have happened. I think there is an issue with the lining staining the canvas.
Thank you everyone for the input, she just called LV and SA suggested her to send the bag to one of the store here (in Canada) to check. I will update once she hears back from them.
Thanks, I also suggested her to get a different bag to avoid the same issue in the future.This same issue has been raised in the LV Facebook group. A number of people have experienced the same thing. It is a defect and your friend should receive a replacement or a credit.
Good idea to keep the bag in Canada. If your friend had taken it to the US she would have had to plan carefully to make sure she wasn't charged customs when the bag came back.
Thanks so much for letting me know, I will relay the message to my friend.I was visiting my LV store and consulted my SA. He told me that this is a defect of an early batch of the Sperone and Girolata. It is color transfer from the pink interior.![]()
