Do you think this is a defect in the line? I mean this line is new and now that people have had them a few months perhaps things are going to start to happen to the purse due to the material they are made of. I do not think this should happen with a newer purse and think LV should help you. I am not sure what they will do since you are not the original buyer and I forgot if you said you had the original receipt. I think LV customer service is not as great as it used to be. I would try to take it to LV and complain--this is not right.
Good luck.
