I bought LV for years and had one quality issue after another. Stitching not straight, stitching coming undone, glazing issues on a very expensive hardly used soft lockit as well as many other bags. I also had cracking all around the zipper on the canvas on two different bags. I had to return a wallet in Damier when the flap pattern did not line up with the body of the wallet. I came to be very unimpressed with their quality control. I have bought wallets, purses, scarves and bag charms and even a poncho from Hermes. I have never had a quality issue with Hermes. Not once have I ever had to return an item.
