In my experience it also depends on the bag. My brand new Clapton backpack feels as sturdy as my Sophie from 2007(? 2008?) and Speedy but my brand new Nano Noe canvas feels flimsier than my 2004 Trouville. That is a softer, “drapier” style so it makes sense. Personally, I’ve experienced older stiffer canvas getting almost rock hard in the -30, -20 weather so I welcome the more malleable canvas that will probably fare better in freezing weather.I agree about bags not being immortalbut I also have the feeling that LV canvas just isn't as good/durable as it used to be. I compare the canvas on my 2012 Trevi PM against new DE canvas bags and the newer canvas just feels flimsier. My Trevi is a tank in comparison (it's also heavier, but that doesn't bother me). And you don't see as much detailing on canvas bags anymore; compare the simpler designs today to the intricate and perfectly executed folds and pleats on the Trevi. Just my opinion.
Disappointed in LV and their quality of service

Hmmm, I haven't noticed anything like that, even after many trips with it to the Alps in mid-winter.

I have many LV wallet and find them very good quality.
I had only exchange one slg which was the classic Monogram keypouch. I thought the piece I bought wasn’t good as my old DE keypouch.

I have found the quality over the last couple of years isnt as good, I wonder how some items pass Quality Inspection
Check every other thread posted in this forum.
Wait, so you already know the quality issues? What’s the point of the thread then?
There are a lot of other threads where people wrote about their experiences. I think you'll find what you're looking for if you do a search.
Was wondering if anyone experienced this issue with any of their handbags before?
The coating at the sides of my purse and shoulder straps seemed to have melted! My purse is about 6 years old, and I’ve used it maybe 3 times in the past, and have always stored it inside the dust bag, and then inside the hard box that the bag came in when I purchased it from the LV store, and then I stored the box inside a cabinet in my closet, inside my air conditioned home. I haven’t used this bag in about 2 years and I recently took it out and noticed that the edges of the bag were sticky and that the coating seemed to have melted.
If I bring it back to the LV store, would they be able to fix it? I feel like this is due to defective materials used but it’s also 6 years old. I have several other LV handbags and have never experienced this issue before.

Has anyone noticed that the quality has decreased from a couple of years ago? I got the mini steamer in blue and the LV stamp was not even crisp. The letters were blurry. The D ring was crooked. I compared to the bags from 2-3 years ago and the quality drastically went down. How did it even pass QA? I used to get small bags for the LV tags etc but this one didn't even come with any bags. Doesn’t look like it’s put together very well for what you pay for. I wonder if it’s the SA because my old SA left and I got assigned a new one. Or if LV just doesn’t include these little things anymore?
That's so sad, I completely agree with you, I'm currently trying to get a replacement for shoddy workmanship, they don't seem to care about their customers anymore. We pay for quality
