If it were my handbag I would call customer service and ask them how to go about having an evaluation done on the handbag. I am not convinced this is normal. It is hard to see exactly what happened form the photo. I have a 30 year old Speedy in my closet and there is no issue whatsoever with the canvas.
Speedys don’t have glazing on the canvas edge like a Pochette Métis does. I have a Monceau and this happens with excess glazing as others have mentioned. It’s not an “issue” with the canvas.
No, but it's very common on bags with a definite edge. Excess glazing that peels or flakes off ultimately is more protective than skipped areas of glazing.
It is fine to disagree.I never judge anyone that has a different opinion than I do.
Maybe there is not an issue with this handbag. If it were mine though, I might not like the way it looks. I inspect all of my handbag purchases VERY closely. I reject any handbag that doesn't pass my "perfection" standards. I always get one that is perfect in every way in my estimation.

Where we differ is the notion that it's an issue when excess glazing needs to be lightly rubbed off, once, and then the bag is solid and okay afterward. It's like the folding crease of a Speedy: is it a crap product? Is this an issue? No, because it resolves over time and doesn't affect the durability or aesthetics of the bag.

I am glad that you mentioned the fold crease in the Speedy!!! I have 4 Speedy's-one from 30 years ago and the other three bought within the past 10 or so years. It took me a long time to find each of my Speedy's. I do not think they should be delivered with creases in them and folded. If you look at the photos of Speedy's on the website there are no creases. If creases are really bad they never go away completely in my opinion. So, I looked at many to find one that only had a faint crease.The faint creases are still there and i stuff my Speedy's with soft tee shirts to make sure the shape is perfect...In my opinion LV should not crush their Speedys. LV should find a way to ship Speedy's so that they are not "squished". Imagine if all of their canvas bags were shipped crushed?
Well, this is a losing battle for you, in that LV isn't going to change its storage of the Speedy type bags. It works, it has no long term impact (despite your opinion), and there are many, many customers who can attest that the crease resolves over time. Myself included.
Anyway back to the topic. PMs have been problematic, but this instance of the glazing doesn't sound, to me, like a worry.
would this bother you? It draws my attention each time. I’m fully willing to admit I’m over analyzing it but I don’t have another Neverfull to compare to so I’m not sure if it’s normal or not. The other side is perfect and looks more melded together. Do you think this is normal? Anyone else have this on their bags?

No it wouldn’t. It’s nothing, just enjoy the bagwould this bother you? It draws my attention each time.
