Update: I took the split tab into LV and they said it would be a $120 charge due to wear and tear. It might have been complimentary if it was within a year or 2. (Bag is from 2018). I didn’t do it because they wouldn’t be gluing it back together- they would replace the tab and the rest of the bag has slight patina, the colour difference smack dab in the middle would annoy me. Plus the charge and 6-8 weeks to get it returned back to me.
I addressed the one stitch imperfection and the reply was “humans aren’t perfect,” with a slight shrug/ eye roll. I said my other bags are perfect and she just said that’s the way it is.
The SA’s reply to the bag being discontinued was “It’s not a classic, it was a trend and we have moved on.”
