Do you find your alma too large?? I'm really torn between the alma and the alma bb. I don't carry much just looking for a function every day bag.
Yes you should!
I put mine away as I had my babies and now it's too late
Bad LV service refuse to do anything about it and just want to wash their hands. One of the reasons why i've switching to Chanel. Their patent doesn't react like this.
I love your name! Too cute. I'm also a doc's wife

I have seen Chanel in Pink patent discoloured on pre-loved sites - I don't think this is specific to LV only.
oh really?
I haven't seen any discoloured patent Chanels at all.
Personally in my Chanel collection, i only have lambskin and caviar.

It does happen. There are threads about this in the Chanel forum. I was recently reading one about a discolored pink patent flap.
I've just looked up the post about the discoloured pink Chanel patent.
The difference is that Chanel staff admitted problems with the pink patent and took the bag back and offered a credit without being asked.
With LV, they are not admitting any responsibility and merely saying it's the nature of patent. If i was notified of this at the time of purchase, i wouldn't have purchased it. Honestly, i don't buy LV to use for a season or two. I buy LV to collect, use and pass on to my kids.

Was that the hot pink chanel? There is another thread. Of a baby pink chanel that turned kind of an ugly shade of beige. I believe, the OP was just told that it happens. I wanted to link it this morning, but could not find it.
All lighter colors will probably eventually discolor. But because of fear of color transfer I would never consider anything in patent that is not a dark color.
Hi there.
I know your post is way back in 2006. Wondering if you get to resolve this issue? My mom purchased her pink one in 2006 and it has discoloration as well. She barely used the piece.
Would appreciate an update.
Thanks!
The OP only made 15 posts total, with the last one being in 2006, so safe to say they won't be responding. Vernis discoloration is known and mentioned in the LV care booklet that comes with the item. Even without use, exposure to any of the elements (heat, light, etc.) can cause discoloration.
The only remedy is to sell or dye the bag a darker color. Since you were able to find this thread, do a search for more recent ones with tips and suggestions.
