Thank you for your response! It’s apparently been discontinued but it did pop up online the other day and I was able to order it. I don’t mind as it looks perfect to me, but I just wasn’t sure if this glazing will have issues down the road. I think I’ll leave it unused & try ordering a new one and see which is better.

It wont get any worse, its solid. Some people would not notice it at all. But since you noticed, I suggested to look at other options. Some may be better, the same or worse.

If you open the pouch and look at it with a strong light behind, you can see between the stitches in many of them, other have better sealed stitching that wont let through any light. Thats also something to take in consideration if you are choosing between different pouches.

I think I mainly noticed bc it’s light! Hopefully I can order another and compare. Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind too.

Hello all! Not sure if this is the right place but hoping I can get some opinions. I recently bought two Speedy B 25 DE, one in store and one online (the online order took a while so I decided to buy in person) and 1/ the one in store looks fine but I realized a slight misalignment in chaps 2/ the online order looks aligned but the chaps look flat and not puffy…
Would you think the left chap on 1/ (photo attached) is misaligned, too far to the left or am I crazy? (Ps - the back is somehow aligned)
I am trying to decide what’s worst, misalignment or flat chaps

I recently purchased the One Handle and only noticed that the strap and the front of the bag looks a little misaligned (rings do not cut off symmetrically)
I really love this bag and it is very rare which I don't know if I am able to do an exchange.
Honestly do you think it looks off? Am I being too picky? Or do you think I should return it?

Thank you all in advance!

It depends on what you can live with. I don't think it looks bad at all. The strap on my PM looks a tad bit off like yours. The average person wouldn't even notice. It's just that we're bag junkies that we notice these things.

I think it looks great. I was looking for faults but could not find any. The chaps are the same height and perfectly straight as well

Hi!
Just wanted to find out if this was normal? There are wrinkles here (when I bend it the other way it’s not as noticeable) and it has only happened to the middle leather section of the bandouliere strap of my speedy 25…

I should also mention this bag is almost 2 years old

Hi all, I was just about to take my Empreinte Pochette Metis out for its second ever outing, it’s two and a half weeks old. I was really annoyed to see that on one of the clasps there seems to be a rusting thing going on? It’s been out of its dust bag once, to the play centre for about an hour, where it sat on a chair! Is this normal??? Should I bring it back?

 

[Reamie]

Just checked my Neo Noe and one of the buttons also has a slight rust looking mark, this is only a week old and hasn’t been out yet!

Try some brass polish, it can often remove scratches and spots

Would you expect this from their bags, especially when it’s 2 weeks old and been out once?

Actually, one of my silver locks had something like this when it was brand new, I removed it with silvo. I use silvo and brasso on all my silverware, copper and handbags.

gosh I just presume that brand new, €1700, I shouldn’t have to go buy polish to make it as it should be!

I know it happens sometimes, I have seen brand new locks in the LV store that looked like they were picked up from the titanic, spots, and really oxidized, I have seen SAs polish them in the store and they look new and beautiful right after. If you dont want to bother with the polishing you can take it to the store and ask them, but it can happen again with new and old bag hardware.

Thank you, I’m so surprised it’s something people expect and allow from a brand new bag!
