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' :smile:
If you put lots of stuff in it, can it stand on its own?

Thank you for your input…makes me feel much better. Yes, it does stand on it own when items put in.

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.

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.

Thank you! I was worried peeling or cracking would happen with friction since that side of the crossbody would be rubbing against me. I heard they won’t fix canvas. So I wanted to get this sorted out sooner than later.

Hi guys,
I just purchased this bag early this year and haven't used it much naturally due to the lockdown. So it's been stored in its dustbag in my dark, cold closet. However, I noticed that the beige leather part is "peeling" or chipping off at the edges. Is this normal as part of wear and tear or should I get it looked at? Thanks! 20210519_191439.jpg20210519_191505.jpg

Yes, most probably caused by the contact with the straps. I originally guessed maybe the jeans or something, but the straps make perfect sense. Even if they offer a replacement, maybe it would be better to go with a different colour.

You're right! It could be that! So that means it will probably get worse over time? I am so dreading taking my bag back or informing my SA about this.

It could potentially get worse over time because of the bi-color. Bring it back to them and don't stress considering how much we pay for bags.
The other solution I would suggest is to get a jump ring or o ring to create some separation from where the LV strap hardware rubs against the leather.
I'm waiting for some o rings to arrive and I can show you with my PM Turtledove

Oh no! It looks pretty bad ... Contact customer service or go to the store, if you can, and I hope you get the issue resolved. They will probably offer you an exchange or store credit.

Thanks so much guys ! I'm like freaking out here because I already returned two bags that I ordered online and really didn't want to go back for complaining so I'll be that annoying customer. But if this is something that will get worse over time, might as well address it now than later. Thanks again ❤

Well, given that this bag is obviously faulty, you are not an annoying customer. :) Keep us posted on their response!
