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

I was really excited to get this. However when I had a look at it in store; quality seems meh.... it’s made in France. Overall there is some stitching issues on all 4 pouches and the canvas seems thin. Any thoughts?
 
Oh no, I can’t believe you had to order FOUR and they were not acceptable!
usually my past online orders have been ok, save for a speedy I bought which had a bubbling handle which I exchanged.
This cles is MIF and I don’t see light shining through the bottom. Just not sure I’m comfy with this misalignment.:-s
I wanted the monogram as well, but ended up with the Ebene as it looked perfect. For me, the alignment wouldn't bother me as long as I couldn't see through the bottom. I am using mine for coins and didn't want that to stretch out further. But if it'll bother you, try to exchange it! Although it's not a ton of money, it's not exactly cheap and we should expect things to look "perfect" to us. I'm the kind of person that can focus on a flaw once I notice it.

I went through a few past posts from other tPFers and it looks like these cles pouches are hit and miss. Some are aligned, some not - new or old. Think I’ll just keep it as I can’t be bothered to go back to the store! It’s not a big deal and I think if it was see through, it would’ve definitely gone back. I’m glad you finally got one that was acceptable!

Probably best unless u can have someone at the store eyeball it. Enjoy it!

Hi, I just got my monogram cles today, MIU, and definitely has light peeking through the bottom with some exposed stitching. Not super happy with it, but I’m more curious about if this affects long term quality and longevity.
To those who have kept their cles with exposed stitching/ see through bottoms, how have they held up?
 
Best to return it. I returned mine (MIU) it’s very bad stitching as if a dog had bitten it :)
I got it when it was $220. Now that it’s gone up in price, I don’t think we should settle for less quality.
Good luck

I am worried. I ordered two key pouches this week and decided to ship home rather than store because they are small items. I wish I saw this thread beforehand. Luckily, the store is only 40 min away but I hope mine are MIF trouble free.
 
I received my DA key pouch. It’s MIU and I don’t see any light being filtered through. I really wanted MIF and asked my CA to keep a look out. She admitted that inventory is really tense in the company.

I received my key pouch in DE today MIU and the canvas seems firmer than my mini PA in DE canvas. I don’t see any light peeking through the stitching and it seems to be in good shape. I do wish the squares were more lined up. I guess I was hoping for a softer canvas. Should I keep it?
