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???View attachment 5179662View attachment 5179663View attachment 5179664

This makes me sad. I'm sorry but I would definitely try to exchange this.

I think it looks more aligned from far away. But this is what it looks like up close!

It's slightly off, but a lot better than most that I've seen. Check out the thread on the PSM. You'll see some really messed up ones.

LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

So adorable, had to get it! :) A little edgy, a lot of fun! (excuse the messy background and smudgy mirror :P)

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.

Thank you so much. Mold spot! :wtf: i didn't even think about that!! They look like tiny little blue pen marks, but why blue?? I was leaning towards just keeping it because of the hassle, but if there is a chance they are mold marks, that's not good :crybaby:
Thanks so much!

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.

I'd be quite satisfied with this one. It looks really good. The circle right above the tab is totally centered, so that is a good sign.

I received my Odeon MM yesterday and while I love the bag, I almost immediately noticed a strange straight line running up and down the front. Upon closer inspection, it looked and felt like some kind of error was made during the coating process. The line is raised, almost like a scar. I could not unsee it, and for $2000, you bet this bag better be flawless. This piece of canvas should have been discarded.

I called client services this morning and they are overnighting a new one to me. While the company at a high level may be very frustrating, their customer service, especially concierge, is still really good! Here's a photo I took of the front before I packed it back up.

I didn't know whether to give a frown or a love face. It was sad you got a bad piece, but happy you got a replacement right away.

Thank you. I considered doing the exchange process but I didn't want to wait two or three weeks! Apart from the ridge in the canvas coating, I love this bag in this size. I know now the pm would have been way too small for me.
