Help needed! Brand new AUTHENTIC bag with stamp letters faded!

[Dreamydominique]

I purchased a V tote BB two days ago. I got it directly from the LV store in Aventura mall so I know it’s authentic. However, the ‘Louis Vuitton Paris’ stamp in the center seems slightly faded. The coloring in the letters is not consistent. It’s darker in some places and light in others. Is this normal?? Also, the sales rep sold me the bag which was already on display. He didn’t get me a brand new one from the back. Is it possible that it may have been slightly worn from being the display bag, hence the faded letters? All other parts of the bag look brand new..it’s just the letters.
I’ve attached photos of my bag and also the image of how it’s supposed to look from the LV website so you can compare. I’m trying not to be overly picky or anal about it but it did cost $2500+ !! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What help are you looking for? If you don’t like how it looks, return it.

I am trying to determine if this is a normal occurrence for these bags or if mine is defective.
Returning it will not be a straightforward process. I do not live in the USA and there are no LV stores where I live. If the bag is indeed defective, then I would put measures in place to have it exchanged. However, it would be nice to know first.

Whether it’s normal or not, you clearly don’t like the way it looks so that should be what’s most important.

I don’t think it’s defective in the slightest nor is comparing to LV website stock photos helpful, but again, if you’re not happy with it, reach out to Aventura and see what they can do.

I love this bag and have it in multiple colors. Just bought a preloved bb in RP and have the tote in safran and my print does not look like that. I have darker colors in this bag but it’s harder to tell...I would return...

Return. One of the five (five!!) Dauphines I bought had very, very light stamping on the “Made In” tag inside the bag. So faint you could barely see it unless you turned it a specific way for light to shine in it. I returned it.

Did you ask if they had another one to compare it to? If you are not happy with it then you should definitely return/exchange it if you did not already use it.

Hi! I know I am very late to this conversation, but was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I have a v tote as well (mm noir) and I absolutely love it. However, I just noticed a little chip on one corner after only two months of owning it (brand new from the boutique). Have you seen any signs of wear on yours now that it as been a year or two of ownership of your v tote bags? I’m going to call my SA tomorrow, but not sure I will have any luck given it’s been over 30 days Thanks!
