I might just bite my tongue and keep the Felicie too! I’ve been in search of that bag for years! But let’s see what happens, thanks again! Greatly appreciate all your help!
Glad to help :smile: I understand, no bags are perfect really, so you have to compromise and see past the "faults" sometimes. It all depends on how hard it is to get, and how much you really want it.

Just received my mono pochette accessoires (made in Spain), but the bottom seems rather weirdly stitched and is curving towards the center. Is this normal? The bottom of my pochette in DA, which is made in France, seems much more flat. Should I return it? It was so difficult to get the mono. Any opinion would be much appreciated.

Hi! Wondering if the bottom of your PA eventually flattened?

I just got a PA (also made in Spain) and the bottom looks like yours in your post. Actually mine was smashed in when I opened the box but I pushed the canvas out from inside the PA. It still does invert if I push on the bulge.

The top of the canvas near the zipper on both sides of the PA is also wavy on mine.. does anyone know if those waves will flatten over time?

I just ordered the Alma BB online and it arrived. I’ve wanted this bag forever! Although I’m usually not picky, I noticed that the zipper does not go all the way down on either side of the bag so a bit of the red inner lining is exposed on both sides. Is this a defect or is it normal / would you keep it??
I'm not sure if it normal or not but my are not like that. They are seal all the way down and no red interior showed, but I have other issues. I figured one or another, I don't think there is a perfect handmade bag.

I think you should contact the CS either online or in person to see if they can exchange or do something for you. If the baby wipe didn't make it go away, it going to stay there. Are you going to be okay with that? So, considered carefully as once it past 30 days returns window, you can't bring them back.

I will make some time to take it in this weekend since CA is claiming they might be able to rub off. If not, you’re right I may just have to return and wait for another one since I’m trying to look past it but knowing it’s there, it’s kind of biggish! Hoping they have one available for exchange. Thank you so much for your input!

Ok I’m starting to get annoyed by everything LV at the moment! I took my Metis out today, 3rd time it’s been out since I bought it. I noticed a bit of gluey stuff on the front and rubbed gently, and it started peeling! What is going on?!? This has been out of the house 3 times is only a month old and has been stored in dust bag! What is this? Can anyone help??

WOW. It is logical in many places, but there... I can't imagine where it comes from (or what out of) :shocked:
It is most probably excess glue, but it does look horrible, no matter what it is.

Ugh, this is awful. Are you going to take it to the store? Also, is this the PM in turtledove? Or what color is it?

Probably glue or normal residue. It looks like its on top of the leather and is peeling, and not coming from underneath the leather, which is good. This kind of peeling almost always happens at the edges, but I have seen it in the middle of bags as well. The problem is, the more you peel, the more will surface on the leather almost out of nowhere. I just let it be with by bags, and it comes off by itself after a while. But it does not look good, and 50-100 dollar non-brand bags dont have this problem. But we still love LV right :lol:
 
I’m bringing it in tomorrow, I sent my SA the pictures and he said he can brush it off, I hope so because it is unsightly at the front of a bag! He said it’s a normal part of production, but it just looks cheap and plasticky to me!!

It looks awful, and makes it look like a cheap knock off. It’s on my Grand Palais also but that’s just rubbing off, this isn’t really. Also on the Palais it was on the edges!
 
So I went in today, at first the SA said he would bring it down and brush it off, but he came back and said I spilled something on it. I categorically denied this, but he said that he could do nothing. He said to just condition it and come back in twelve months to send it to the day spa. A little disillusioned, as it hasn’t been anywhere but the car once and I have been so careful with it! It hasn’t even been near food, let alone anything else!
