Current monogram key pouches that are made in USA appear to all have poor stitching.

View attachment 4758731 I tried ordering one from the US site with good stitching three times. All failures. Returning all.

Just a heads up for anyone else that placed online orders for the key pouch in monogram recently or plans to.

ugh that's terrible quality control, i can't believe they still haven't fixed that problem ever since they switched to made in USA. i have MIF and it doesn't have that stitching problem or light peaking through. it also looks like the holes are stretched out because the stitching is so bad.
 
I got tired of stalking and ended up ordering a NWT DE Key pouch on V.C. from an Italian seller.

I was nervous but once it arrived the stitching was flawless, MIF, and no light peaking through.

The LV warehouses need better quality control immediately. That stitching should not be that visible.
 
I also recently ordered a mono key pouch that shipped from California. It was delivered yesterday. It was made in the US, has very visible stitching, and the monogram isn't centered horizontally. Going to send it back :tdown:
 
It seems like people getting shipments from the east coast were more likely to get MIF mono key pouch in the last few days. So I just called some east coast boutiques and tracked down a MIF that will be shipped to me. Just an idea for others! And if you look for boutiques in malls or department stores, you can sometimes call the mall or dept store and get transferred to the boutique. That way you don't have to wait on hold with the LV customer service call center.

Good luck everyone!
 
I got my key pouch today- MIF and perfect!! No light shining through the bottom either. I stand corrected- I read all over this forum that light shining through the bottom was normal!!View attachment 4759547View attachment 4759548View attachment 4759549View attachment 4759550

That how ALL Keypouches should look! And it is why it has deter me away to buy another one.

Since they are $210...I rather pay more with leather keypouch currently offered. Or I’m actually going with Prada version.

It has nothing to do with where it is made, but who makes it. I received a damier graphite MIF that I could see light through a couple weeks ago. This week I received a monogram MIF that I cannot see light through, but the zipper sticks and the corners look a little wonky.
 
I’m from California and mine was MIF with no issues. Arrived last week. I’ve ordered a few other things since May (Mono PA and Mono PM) and all were MIF and looked great to me. Maybe I got lucky?

I just bought one Monogram (MIF) and one DA (MIUSA). The Monogram one has no light showing through and the stitching is tight. The DA one has terrible stitching showing through and the light can shine through it. I will be returning the DA one.
 
i keep thinking of replacing my 2006 perforated cles as i've used it everyday since new, but it's iron tough and i have a new appreciation for the piping that wraps it. i'm thinking the taigarama coin/card holder would be a better buy even at the premium.
