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)

Yes, I definitely agree! I've seen some pretty messed up ones so compared to those, mine is pretty good. Sometimes it's hard to remember these are handmade so that every bag will be unique and it's near impossible to get a 100% "perfect" bag. But I'm sure everyone hopes to get something near perfect since we pay so much for these!! I've checked with my SA and with client services and there are currently no palm springs mini available anywhere in California so there is no option to exchange and the chances of repurchasing are basically zero..... unless you're able to score one online. I haven't seen them restock it at all!

It looks perfectly fine imo but if you don’t like it, def exchange or return.

Yeah, you're totally right! I think the overall bag is in really good condition. I think I got spooked by all the things people were writing about what's wrong with their palm springs mini. Mine doesn't have any of those problems besides the slight misalignment. I think I am just being overly picky haha!

My CA got me a PSM and OTG MM reverse last month. My PSM was perfect. However, my OTG stitching on the right was about a millimeter off. I could tell but I’m sure most people wouldn’t notice it. I knew that if I returned it I would have to wait a long time for another one. I kept it and am happy using it.

It could be worse, it could be 2 mm :lol: 1 mm off is very usual on most items IMO

I totally agree. We’re such bag addicts that we expect everything to be perfect. Sometimes I need to remind myself that if it’s a minor flaw it’s ok.

I know, lol. I have felt like a crazy person when I have looked at 7 of the same bags/wallets and found faults in all of them, and my friends cant notice anything wrong in any of them :lol: Most SAs says no products are perfect, and thats my opinion as well after buying LV for many years. You just have to say its not perfect but its OK :loveeyes:

Thank you! I love how versatile both damier and monogram are. A long time ago, a SA showed me how the checkerboard print is actually both black and brown, and that's what makes it more neutral.

Your welcome! Thats right, the print is simple yet complex in its structure.

At the moment im looking into buying a new keepall 45 in DE, I have a few of them in monogram, but the DE looks so good. The monogram is amazing, but if your wearing patterns it can look a little busy, DE calms down the oufits in a classy way IMO :smile:

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.

I have many LV pieces with buttons, some of them are super tight when you lock them, and others have more wiggle room. It seems like its 50-50. Even on my kirigami pochette two of them are looser, and the third small one is super tight.

If you look at the button, there are two wires on each side. Where the wires are closer together, the tighter the button snaps. On the buttons where there are more wiggle room, the wires have more space between them.

Wow that's great! You're very lucky to get a perfect PSM. I went in store to try to get one but the CA said there was only ten left in the entire country, it's basically sold out everywhere and that they didn't have any available. Then the very next day... he texts me and says he has a PSM. I ended up buying it but I'm pretty sure I ended up with a return. But same thought process as you, if I returned it, I don't know how long I will have to wait to get another one and the new one might end up even worse. So, I'm just gonna enjoy my bag!

Hi Everyone,
I need your opinion on my one week old NeoNoe Caramel.
The tab leather on one side is prestine but on the other side I noticed the black glazing goes into the Caramel leather.
Here is the photo. Please advise do you think this is normal coz the bag is handmade? would it bother you if your bag like this?
I tried to accept and enjoy the bag but my eyes can’t stop looking at it . I haven’t use it yet. Really appreciate all your opinion. TIA
