It won't fall apart tomorrow, but I'd recommend to have Vuitton replace the strap. It is still very pale, there won't be much patina difference.
Thanks for replying. You are right i have not carried it many times so vachetta is still pale. Its so frustrating.. this whole repair/ exchange process… Online or in store. I had inspected the piece nicely and was glad that its just perfect :sad:
 
I just received my Neonoe in monogram. Since following this thread, I’ve been very diligent in checking the alignments on monograms. Is this okay? Will this slight misalignment bother you?

The first pic shows the misaligned monograms. The other side (2nd pic) looks much better.

Please let me know your thoughts. TIA!

Honestly, if I would get a bag like this delivered, it would not bother me enough to deal with sending back, but if I was in a store and would be shown this one, I'd ask for another.
 
Ok so am I overthinking this? I noticed a small scratch on the front of the reverse Metis. Now it is small, but the bag was bought yesterday and hasn’t been outside of the box for more than a photo. Will they think I’m crazy to return? It’s the only one in stock. I can notice it though and it’s on the front of the bag.

I would see if you can scrub it off with some soap and water first… if it really bothers you, I would ask to exchange it but I don’t think it’s very noticeable and I probably would keep it (and I’m pretty OCD).

I recently removed scratches like this from my canvas. I rubbed with my fingers really fast creating heat, and it went away. If that dont help I use water and a cloth and rub with that. As a last resort I use coconut oil, rubbing with a cloth or my fingers. 9/10 scratches have thankfully been fixed this way for me

My last scratch came from sharp metal, but still I could remove it.

Hi all, I just got my black empreinte Pochette Metis, which is beautiful! However when I look at it from the front sometimes I think it looks a bit crooked? Please tell me if I’m seeing things, or is it off? I can’t actually decide! This one had the nicest embossing, so I went with it. Now looking at it I’m second guessing myself!
The embossing on the right side is higher than the left.

I have decided I can live with it, it was my favourite of all the ones I looked at, as the embossing was deeper. I’m hoping it loosens up as I use it?
Even if you look at 10-15 of the same, they all will have similar or different "issues", more or less. None of them are perfect if you spend a lot of time inspecting them. Most bags are about 95-98 percent perfect, you just need to choose one and enjoy it :smile:
 
Just got this speedy B last week, in different lighting I noticed the side strap on the bag has this wrinkle or part that isn’t completely smooth. Should I exchange it? I just don’t want it to crack or damage further

on a side note- is cracking near the zipper a common problem for speedy bags?
