Hi everyone. I received my exchange Felicie Pochette today and she looks so much better than my first (it had a big dent). However, there is a slight dent which makes it appear that there’s a mark on the bag. In your opinion, is this normal? I’m really not sure what to think at this point. It is fairly small and I may receive a worse one so don’t know if I should exchange/refund.. thank you in advance for your input. Also does anyone know if I can exchange another time? Or would I have to get a refund?

Here is a pic of the first one I had received with the huge dent:

For that one, I could live with it and just keep it stored with something to fill it out. Over time it may become less obvious. If it really bothers you then you can ask for another one. Canvas isn't stiff so some amount of warping in will happen if it's not filled with something I guess.

I’ve noticed that Monogram goods that have a snap closure can have dents. I have that same Felicity but in Vernis and I don’t see any dents. Your exchange looks pretty good to me but if it bothers you, don’t keep it.

Hi,

I recently bought my first LV bag and I was so excited that I didn't really examine it in as much detail as I should have.

The handles on my new alma bb seem to be excessively wrinkled and after googling images of it and watching videos on youtube, I haven't seen any with as bad wrinkling as mine.

is this normal/ common? or am I being extra fussy as it's my first LV bag?

Should I exchange it in-store? and what is the exchange process like? I am unable to get to the store for a couple of weeks (still within the 28 days exchange), do they get weird about you taking ages to exchange? I'm scared they may accuse me of using the bag?

(both handles are the same amount of wrinkle)

Thank you :D

Hi. Welcome on PurseForum! Actually imo, this handle looks “too wrinkled” to be new. You have simply to go to the store you bought it form and ask for an exchange. Usually, if the bag is in pristine condition, no sign of usage, and you’are within the exchange time frame, the process is quite simple. If there isn’t another one available they will order one for you. Louis Vuitton is famous for costumer service. Good luck and let us know.

Thank you for your reply, I think I am definitely going to exchange it. I'll keep you posted! :)

Thanks! I contacted LV and sent an email to Care Services, just waiting for their response.
Today I received an email from LV thanking me for reaching out, then it went on to say my order was delivered on 4/30 and to let them know if I need further assistance. WTH?! That didn't address my issue at all! I ended up calling and was basically told I could just keep it or return for a full refund and reorder. I thought about it and decided that I’m going to return it, reorder and wait another 6-8 weeks :frown: I feel like it should be perfect and I shouldn’t settle.
 
I am aware of stitching issues with the key pouches; however, I don’t know what is acceptable. I ordered two key pouches. I am willing to disregard the plastic/chemical scent. While the patterns line up nicely, the stitching on the monogram is not as clean as the Damier Azur.

Please advise whether I should return the monogram.
