Its a little more sloppy on one side, but so many bags are just like that. Its not that bad IMO. Go to the store and check out another and see if its any better or worse, or maybe the same.

Stores are closed due to lockdown here in Melbourne and this bag is not available online. Do you think it worth to keep it or better exchange it? if exchange no guarantee would get better bag right? oh dilema Thanks.

Your welcome! You could get a much worse looking bag, you really dont know. You could get faded canvas, wrinkles on the leather that would be more visible to the eye. If the stitching is good, and there are no scratches on the bag, I would keep it myself. I have made the mistake of changing a bag with minor flaws myself, end ended up with more issues that made me miss my previous bag :lol:

Yes that’s worry me too coz I made mistake of changing a popular barely no stock bag and I prefered the previous one but it was gone. This bag is barely available in stores and online too. Thank you so much for your advice.

I actually have the same "flaw" you have on one of my bags. I didnt notice it until I had owned the bag for about a year, when I had to remove a stain. I noticed it, but forgot about it after I cleaned the bag. Its not perfect, but not that bad either.

I posted this in the bumbag thread but I figured might as well post it here…

Hi all - just wanted to get your opinion on this strap. The bag is in otherwise perfect condition and I actually didn’t notice this until I adjusted the strap but for those that adjusted your strap, did yours have the same creases? They’re not terrible but there’s definitely a kink there. Not sure if this is something all of the bumbags have naturally…not exactly sure how it would be avoidable unless it’s maybe brand spanking new, like made last week? Lol. Thank you!

Looks like normal bending and wrinkling. You can try to massage the leather, just bend it back and forth.

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

Wish they were handmade :) These are typical Vuitton edges, and to be honest, from the better batches. So as all the others said, I'd also recommend you to keep it, it doesn't feel like a dealbreaker to me.

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciated it. I read on other thread and I think it was you shared the video on how they do the side glazing with the machine. Thanks to you and others who gave me your kind opinions, I will keep the bag. :smile::heart: Thank you everyone.

If the wrinkling is where the bag is folded, it’s unavoidable, unfortunately. Leather wrinkles at stress points regardless of the quality of the leather. Do you have a picture to share? It will certainly help with our opinions

Just got this speedy B last week, in different lighting I noticed the side strap on the bag has this wrinkle or part that isn’t completely smooth. Should I exchange it? I just don’t want it to crack or damage further

on a side note- is cracking near the zipper a common problem for speedy bags?

I received my speedy today and the sides are just like yours. I’m going to deal with it because it’s a hard fine.

Thank you! Just wanted to make sure it was normal for a brand new item. I was worried it was a return since the date code said it was made in May…

Date codes does not matter. The bag could just have been lying in a storage room for a while. I recently rammed a door hard into my tote bag leather strap, and it looked really bad. But I massaged and bent it for a few minutes and the creases went away.

Normal use of the bag will also take care of creases after a while.
