I also received a New Neverful MM today from Lv.com and it also has mismatched hardware!! The clasp that attached to the little pouch is a warm gold color and the zipper pull on the pouch is a yellower gold color. Inside the Neverful bag itself, the hook clasp to shut the bag is a warm gold color and the zipper pull on the Neverful zippered pocket is a yellower gold color. I do not know what to do - Is this just how they are making them now? Please check your neo neverfuls and let me know. First my pochette metis and now this. Is everyone's like this or do I have really bad luck???

I think it normal for the zipper pull...my cles is exactly like that. It was like that for every product I have seen. But I am aware they could use the same gold tones, judging on youtube.

Frankly, I am personally annoyed seeing two different gold tones. I very much prefer the warm gold tone on the top pic.

That looks like the same hardware mismatching issue that's occurring with the speedy b.

So, if I sent it back I would probably get the same thing back in a replacement? All of them are now being made with the mismatched hardware? If someone recently purchased a neo neverful with hardware that all matches, please let me know.

All my pochettes look like this, it doesn't bother me. It seems that the zipper is real brass and the clasp is plated. I could be wrong but that's how it appears and would explain the difference in color. Personally I don't think it's a big deal.

Collector007, I have the same NF, and It's the same as yours. My husband bought it for me last October. I thinks all NF are the same.

I think all bags have been like this. Speedy B has the same problem.

When I bought my first speedy I freaked out and called LV to ask about the mismatch. I was told that they don't undsrstand what I'm talking about. A very annoying experience.

It doesn't bother me anymore.

Enjoy your bag, it's beautiful!

My monogram speedy (classic, not speedy b) has zipper like that and the hardware that holds the handles is also different (not the same as on Almas for example), the lock is the shiniest of the rest of the bag's hardware. But the lock did turn strange dark gold yellow color quickly (my alma's locks are still the same as day one I got them). So maybe LV does this to their less expensive bags? Maybe they treat speedies and neverfulls like a luggage and think these bags deserve some cheaper looking hardware? I don't know... It doesn't bother me too much. But your pochette metis and mismatched s lock I would recommend returning and getting another one.

I don't understand why Coach and MK can get their hardware to match but LV can't... Attention to detail is supposed to be what makes a luxury brand luxurious, not just obscenely high prices.
