Of course we would rather have it in perfect condition. Its hardware so it can happen, at least its something you can fix. I rather take some polishing over a loose stitch or piping, that I cant fix myself

Half of LVs customers just look at the bags as status symbols, they never inspect the bags like doctors and look for tiny spots and marks. Then theres the other half that really is invested in their bags and the quality
Imagine how many bags that are being returned for valid/unvalid reasons, that other customers are buying the next day, and they never even notice why the former owner returned it. When someone is on their 4th Pochette metis for glazing issues, there is customers that are buying all of their rejects and are happy with them.
That is the section that is bent the most. It would be very weird if it wouldn't wrinkle like that.
Yes, looks normal, particularly for two years old, don’t worry.
Hi everyone! I was able to get a Palm Springs Mini recently and from my understanding, it is SUPER hard to get your hands on one right now. What do you guys think about the alignment? I know the left flower is off and unfortunately, I do think it bothers me a bit. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should keep it and hopefully get over the minor misalignment or I should return it. But at this point in time, I don't think I can get my hands on another one any time soon, I'm not sure when they will be available again or if I'm lucky enough to get another one and it ends up looking even worse than the current one I have.

Hi all!
I just received a brand new Felicie Pochette after waiting for the longest time… but there seems to be a major issue with the flap. There are dents on the outside and a huge crease when I open up the flap. Originally I thought it was maybe just squished and would prop back flat… but it’s not going away. Is this normal???

Just purchased a very rare Noe bb and I absolutely love the bag
But I came home ecstatic and filmed my unboxing video, then in close inspection, noticed very very faint water mark and scratches on the bottom.
Seriously, it's negligible but definitely not looking brand new...
I called CS and the sweet associate told me to bring it back to the boutique.
But they have none of this in the store, just a few out of state.
I am debating if I should try to exchange it, but what if that one is also not perfect?
I keep talking myself into just keeping it, no one cares about the bottom, but it bothers me!!
Hard to see in the pix but what do you think? Should I just spray apple guard on it and start ignoring it
Or should I just return/exchange it?
I want to be happy with my purchase because I know these are so hard to find!

I don't see anything at all. It's on the bottom, doesn't show in the photo... Unless you are going to carry the bag upside-down, I say keep and enjoy! It's a gorgeous bag!!!
lol true
It's really hard to see in the picture, but in RL there are a few faint scratches and a few tiny blue pen mark (dots), but yeah, negligible. Is it natural for the cowhide leather to have wavy marks? I usually buy Damier or leather pieces and first time venturing into Azure with so much vachetta on.

Hi I think that's a bit too wrinkled, but I am the sensitive type. How about stuffing it overnight and see if it improves?
This alignment is one of the best I’ve seen. It’s very rare to find better alignment than this
That’s not normal at all. I ordered 3 Monogram Felicies online and they were all like that lol. For reference here’s my new MWT Felicie—no dents or creases. Since it’s a structured bag I doubt those dents will get out, and creasing will probably only get worse. I’d definitely return.
This won't improve. It was simply poorly made.
The pics are too small and too compressed by the forum, so it is very very hard to see details. I see a single very faint "scratch", but I wouldn't even call it that. These Noé bottoms are very porosus pure VVN, and that is prone to these surface scratch-like marks. Mine had these when it was brand new, but after months, I cannot find them. It also had some hard-to-see veins in the leather, that is also natural. Those veins are the ones that get way more pronounced when the leather is drummed to be a Clémence Taurillon or something similar. The only thing I don't like are the small dots. Actually that is why I didn't buy the first Noé that was shown, and asked for another. It might really be just a tint mark, but the slightest chance of it being a mould spot is scary for me.
