My Alma bb World Tour and my Alma bb Damier Ebene don’t have these bubbles
My Alma BB Denim doesn't have these bubbles either.
Mine doesn't have these bubbles, but there's straight raised areas on the leather, curves where there shouldn't be, not entirely smooth. More noticeable at certain lightings, but I reckon it's visible due to it's light color.
 
not sure where to post but hope this is ok to ask ... I am eyeing another preloved item...since smoe of you already know I have been trying to get a MPA for a while from the EU/UK site with no luck...
I did find one (preloved) but the packgaing which comes with the bag is in a "limited edition" according to the photos

does LV ever use white ribbon with dark fonts?

I think that was the christmas packaging from 2020, if I remember correctly
 
So I contacted the CS and send them pictures of the bubbles on the Alma DA. We will see what the answer will be.
Have you got any reply yet?
I sent an email using their form, as I wanted it in writing.
In the email, I asked how to send them pictures, I got a prompt reply.
Replied to the email and attached the pic that I uploaded here.
I got this reply almost immediately. Apparently the defect is quite evident.

Probably because people are selling the branded outer boxes. Genuine clients get the short end of the stick once again :no:.
Wow, I can´t believe that people are even selling the outer boxes :whut:! I have thrown mine in the paper trash and always destroy the LV logo so noone of my neighbors knows that I got something from LV :lol:.

The problem with those new flimsy boxes with white security tape around them is, that they are much more prone to get opened unauthorized. I have read from several people already that things were stolen from their delivery boxes :mad:.

I was lucky with my last shipment but when I saw that box I was extremely nervous and actually filmed myself opening the box to make sure I have some proof in case my bag is missing.
It´s just not ok from LV to ship expensive luxury items in such badly secured boxes :tdown:.
*Rant over*

No, I got no reply yet. Your reply seems to be a standard reply from LV. It seems that they don’t want to discuss it

When the CS asked for pics, she said that she will forward it to the appropriate department.
After she got the pic, she sent me this email.
You’re right, they don’t really want to discuss their poor quality control.
Well, at least I have this email to enclosed, IF/WHEN I decide to return it. It will at least be proof that I don’t habitually buy and return items at my whim.
I don’t like returning anything, but I may need to do in this case.
Too much wrong with this handle, the glazing on it is way thicker than the other handle and feels rubbery and dry. It could fall off and then the tiny cuts on the wrinkled leather may fray.
I’m so annoyed and disappointed.

you’re right, this email is a good proof for the case. Nonetheless it’s so sad to let this beauty go :sad:

i got a bit more confident meanwhile to keep my Alma since I got so many dm‘s of others that this is „normal“ and all of them told me, that they’ve got the same „issue“ with the bubbles. Someone told me that she got that even with a Epi Alma.

I don't think it will be that hard to score one of these beauties, it's been sold out at times but also been ATB a few times, unlike other really popular items where after they are sold out, it will take several months before they are ATB.
 
And again I think tPF is the only place that can relate to my happiness :lol: So I did a order of deodorants and some other small stuff at the drugstore. Today this huuuuuuuge box came in, surprising me because I didn’t order big stuff. When I opened the box it was filled with so much sealed air papers I now have a lifetime supply of air papers to stuff all my future bags. I’m so happy:lol::lol:

All this came in a huge box with only 3 deodorants and 2 sunscreens:roflmfao:
 
Hopefully you get it this time! I love my Felicie :love: It was my first LV and love how compact but still handy it is. I also think flaps work better on smaller leather bags than zippers. If I compare my Easy Pouch with zipper to my Felicie with flap; the Felicie it's much easier to get things in and out of the bag. Can't wait for your unboxing!:hbeat:
I hope so too! Good to hear you like yours so much :heart:
