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

[jjanais]

Ya I can see it not aligned. Will you return it for another one?

you also notice the misaligment .
there is none in the stores to exchange.
i think the bag I received might be a return also. The back zipper pull was bit scratched. That didn’t bother me , because the overall stitching and glazing was ok. But is more the back print is not aligned at the zipper.

Problem of this bag that is always out of stock online.

Not good. Maybe they only would compeltely replace the handles, but since the model is discontinued and maybe they don’t have the dye to cut the shape anymore… that would be an explanation. But as an amateur leathercraft enthusiast, even I can see that it only takes a sandpaper, a qtip, and their formula of the edgepaint to have the right colour. I am sad that they decided not to help. Even if this is somewhat a special case (because of the age of the model), they really could have tried.

I'm sad too. I'm inclined to return it. I'm still within the window. I will just watch for another one. It will take a while, but I have learned there will always be another. I so appreciate your help!

I was able to score an Alma BB from calling in and it arrived with some things I am thinking are out of the norm. The interior lining on the non-pocket side is bubbling out pretty hugely (I can push it in and it makes like a POP sound and then pops back out), and then the front and back of the bag have some random red stitches visible. Photos below! I’m thinking I need to just send it back for a return or exchange, but I’m especially curious about that lining.

I believe that the lining and the stitching are secondary to the handle tabs being so off... the left one is aligned to the pattern and stands straight up, the right one is very much not. I consider this a way more serious quality issue than the lining (which is also not nice).

Whoa!! I did not even notice that! Thank you for taking the time to visually point that out. Very easy return for me now!

This is nuts, I’m having a very illuminating time with Louis Vuitton and finding how many defective bags get sent out past quality control. I’ve attached photos of a Speedy B 25 that I sent back to them last week due to holes in the canvas.

These are such disappointing experiences. Hope you can exchange them and get perfect condition ones.

This is Speedy is unbelivable. The clearly messed up the stitching, started over, and the original holes remained there, leaving the canvas practically destructed. I am usually very quick to defend Vuitton, but started to have the feeling lately, that their Ateliers might have some Amazon-like new rules that result in poor work.

Hello! I ordered an Alma BB in DE and noted a scratch on the strap hardware, glue marks ? On the handle, red threads in the leather stitching, and some bumps on the bottom leather base. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for your help!

The scratch on the clasp is not nice. I cannot defend the red threads. That seems like glue residue on the handle, it should come off with babywipes. If not, Vuitton should assist you. The bottom is not a dealbreaker for me.

Received my very first LV after an exhausting hunt to find the Neonoe MM in stock. Is this stitching considered "normal?" I recognize that I may be the only one to be bothered by this, but it's on the front of the bag.

Hi all,
I received my 1st ever brand new LV (after years of admiring all the beauties here), and as excited as it is, I'm wondering if I'm reading too much into it and nit picking. I noticed the hardware have some scratches/tarnishing to it, is this normal? I have yet to use it.
I've also noticed that there is a slight scratching on the leather as well as bubbling and inconsistency in the glazing. Though this does not bother me too much, I'm curious if it will affect the integrity of the purse?
I appreciate your thoughts on it =)
View attachment 4343373 View attachment 4343374 View attachment 4343380 scratches on the button, slight tarnishing and scratches on the sip (though the handle itself is pristine), a dented line on the snap (ON-LO).

Hi there, I know this is an old post but I am exactly in the same shoe as you are when you posted this. I purchased my very first brandnew wallet and it arrived with hairline scratches on the gold button. Very disappointed as I expected better dor the price I paid. I was wondering what happened eventually, did you exchange it or kept the wallet?

In case anyone cares for an update, I did call client services and they couldn't confirm stock at my nearby store and recommended that I just ship back for an exchange. Took about 1.5 weeks. Shipped back on the 25th, received my new perfect PA yesterday On the plus side I had time to wait for my Samorga insert to arrive.

Hello! Third attempt at an Alma BB in DE. Is it normal to have a loose interior liner at the base ? The liner is not flush with the bottom and has an air bubble effect.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi just bought this bag. The SA sent me these pictures. My first expensive piece. Is everything fine?
