Just received my mono pochette accessoires (made in Spain), but the bottom seems rather weirdly stitched and is curving towards the center. Is this normal? The bottom of my pochette in DA, which is made in France, seems much more flat. Should I return it? It was so difficult to get the mono. Any opinion would be much appreciated.

I would keep it. Mine was oddly shaped like that too but once you put things inside and use it, it flattens out.
 
That’s a good idea. I didn’t even think about that. I’m going to try. Do you know if I have to take it into a store or request online?
If you have an SA in a store, you will have a better chance LV will do it. I have found the repair service online less than helpful. In my experience, they just want to do a return and not help you.
 
How does the stitching, shape, and gap next to zipper, look on my key pouch?

My DA Key Pouch arrived with a faded stamp inside :sad:.

Should I return and stalk the website again?

Why is it so hard to get a well crafted key pouch…

I've had to return a few of the key pouches in the past to get one that didn't seem like a factory 2nd. I would try to exchange it but rumours are this item has been discontinued, so it may be difficult. I suspect yours is a USA made one.

Is it just me or is my new bumbag that I ordered from the website crooked?

At first I thought my eyes were just playing tricks, but based on where the leather panel folds from the top to the back of the bag, you can see that the fold isn't straight across the LV logos in that row.

Also, if you compare the seam of the zipper flap and where it meets the LV flower, on the right, the seam aligns with the bottom of the flower whereas on the left it doesn't.

Am I making this up or do others notice it too? Am I crazy to want to exchange it for another?

I've included a photo with markups to point out the areas in question below the unmarked photo.

Crooked. I noticed the LV at the top of the picture before I even saw the picture below it with the comments.
