Goodness, a bit snarky. These bags are $$$$. Isn’t this the point of this particular thread.

I didn’t mean to be snarky. The person posted at least 4 times the same thing. I answered in 2 of them. They don’t like multiple posts here. I think if anyone is unhappy with a purchase they should return. You are free to disagree. I’ve been a member for almost 15 years.
I recently bought a keepall, so its basically the same. I saw maybe 7-8, and half of them had this small wrinkles on the leather straps. The other half had wrinkles in one or both handles. You cant avoid some form of wrinkels on any of these bags. Wrinkles like this can also appear when you use it for the first few times. Its no issue or faulty with the wrinkles being like that.
if it’s any consolation, mine looks very weak/light stamping on my keepall. MIF seems hokey these days but I’m keeping it.
I received my key pouch in damier graphite (MIF) and the "L" of the stamping is almost gone lol tbh I'm a biiiiit disappointed. But the piece itself looks fine to me (no "holes", zip is smooth, canvas looks fine etc). Guess the stamping will fade sooner of later so I think i'll keep it. Heard a lot about the quality issues of this piece and I'm afraid i won't find a better piece lol
I ended up returning mine after all. Not because of the stamp, but the misaligned canvas near the zipper really bothered me.
It’s a shame how the bags are no longer mirror images of the other. I am dating myself, but once upon a time, all the bags were identical. Hope you’re able to get a great bag soon!
It really sucks. People are reconsidering selling their bags as well these days, its not just to buy the same bag again some day. You have to find a really good Version of that bag as well
not that easy doing that twice Hey guys! Would love to hear your thoughts on this Speedy B 30 that I ordered online. I'm excited to have this added to my collection, however, I feel like the center vachetta stripe is not straight? The bottom right corner looks off too but it doesn't bother me that much. What do you think? Many thanks!
I see what you mean. But the stripe is in the middle of the bottom piping, and meets the zipper dead on top. Have you tried to stuff it more and see if it changes? Feels like my eyes are playing tricks on me. Everything else looks right, but it does seem off center in a way
The vertical band looks very straight. What doesn't is actually the piping itself. The flowers indicate in the bottom right corner, that less canvas was tucked under the piping when sewn. At least that is what I see in the pics.
I cant see the piping fully on the right side but looks like there is more there if she stuff it really good. Maybe then the bag Will change its shape a Little and drag the leather stripe in place perhaps
It looks like it need some fluff and puff
Thank you both @castortroy666 & @BULL! I put more air paper in, I think it looks a lil better now?
Do you think it's worth exchanging? Would love to hear your thoughts. Many thanks!

It looks like it folds a Little in the middle, or a few inches below the top. The canvas goes in a Little. Can you stuff it Even more there? Just push the canvas out more on the side. Sometimes you need to stuff it really good
Its starting to look better 
Maybe you can stuff it with a pillow, or some socks or t shirts if there is no room for air paper. I use mostly pillows of all sizes myself

My Victorine in Mono brown color, the snap button closer makes clicking nose when you press on it to close it. The snap also clicks in the closed position. Sounds like the snap closer is loose. I have other Victorine wallets in other prints and the snap buttons doesn't click loosely. I also went to the stores and all of them in the same mono brown color clicks. Wondering if yours do the same.
