"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I feel like I’ve seen this questioned on the PSMs but I’m curious if anyone has seen this on the back pockets of their bumbags? If so, is it something to be concerned about?

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.

It looks great to me, I would keep it.

I'd love your expertise on what level of precision vs. irregularity I should expect with the Sarah wallet.

I included photos showing two areas where the sides of the wallet are not even. There's also a spot missing from the hot stamp.

I looked at several of the Sarah wallets in this color, and all had some level of imperfection. One was dented like the Felicie Pochette on page 99 of this thread, another looked like it had been on display for a while.

These have to be ordered to my local store, and odds are good that the next one wouldn't be perfect, either... So would you accept these flaws or keep trying? I know it's 'just' a wallet, and I should enjoy it. But I'd appreciate knowing if you think this one is acceptable. Thank you!

I wouldn't mind the stamp, still in the acceptable range for me.
The 'gaps' and the curves will change a lot as you use the wallet, so that is no dealbreaker either.
Btw in the first pic the left image marks the gap towards the back, the right image marks the one towards the front, so they are not for the same compartment. But it doesn't matter anyway, since the 4 gaps are all different, but it's fine, they will change with use.

Thank you so much for the helpful response. It’s very comforting to learn that the gaps on the sides will change with use. Now I am just so excited to enjoy this beautiful wallet! : )

None of my LV receipts look like the one you posted.

Hello, just received my LV order for a reverse PM and noticed these. I just want to make sure that this is normal and won’t cause issues going forward. I’m very new to the LV brand.

Hi! I received my Pochette Accessories in early May and when I took out the box, the bottom was wonky. Unfortunately I didn’t take a photo but was told by the CA at the store to put something heavy to straighten it out. I did this for a week and the following photos are what it looks like. Does this look normal? Thank you.

Hello everyone!
I picked up this nano speedy from the boutique yesterday. After checking her over at home, I noticed the chaps are sitting quite low on the fleur and close on the LV on both sides. I also saw that the gold LV studs are on sideways too. Moreover, the zipper gap on the side when closed is pretty significant. I’ve looked over countless pictures of nano speedys online and can’t find one with this alignment. Please, may someone kindly tell me if this is normal? I’ve been waiting for her for 1 year now and the last one I got my hands on had a defect in the canvas. Any replies is greatly appreciated! Thank you!View attachment 4949038View attachment 4949039View attachment 4949040

Mine is the same. Just got it today. I’ll post pics. I also noticed that the u derided of one of the handles has significant wrinkling. Should I return?

Just received my new nano speedy. Upon inspection, I noticed this wrinkling on the underside of one of the handles. Right now with the Vachetta being so light, it’s not as noticeable. However, with age, I wonder how it will look once the handles patina. Would you all return it even though it’s so hard to get still? Appreciate your thoughts.

Having been working with leather a lot, I can tell you that this is lottery with smooth leather. When you bend it and stitch it, some will wrinkle, some won't. You have little to no control over it. It is natural. But I also totally understand that luxury buyers prefer the nicer bends, so if you wanna exchange it, totally OK. As far as I know the wrinkles don't really have any noticable effect on the patina process.

It doesn't look super bad. I usually hold it there, so mine is also similar, but from use. It is a soft bag, but also so small, that "stuffing" it won't work as on a Speedy. It doesn't look misaligned or badly sewn though, so I belive that if you start using it, it will slowly 'bend to your will'
If you put lots of stuff in it, can it stand on its own?

Looks like as if the 'caramel' paint of the Reverse Canvas chipped. It might chip more in the future, but won't cause anything else. It is a clearly a cosmetic issue.
