Thank you for your reply :smile:

Yes, I have been carrying this bag almost exclusively since I bought it. I'm glad to learn it is not uncommon. But I really need to hold firmly one end of the bag while I tug the zipper closed. My other speedy doesn't take so much effort. (same with my PSM and Alma BB - both zip like butter).

Maybe I will wax it a little to get a better zip experience.

Your welcome! I know how you feel. I also prefer the smooth zippers. But at least, it better than loose zippers, that glide up. In my experience zippers vary, just like buttons, some snap tight and others are looser. But after a while, most of them loosens up.

You could also try the wax, it helped a lot with my keepall once, but after a while it got harder again. Then I forgot about it, and after some time, it was nice and loose like I prefer it :smile:

Can you try to take a straight shot? I think the bag piping look bad. Maybe consider exchange or return. Piping don't change after use, so it better to return or exchange while you can. I read somewhere that you can download a NFC tools app to you phone and then scan the bag. I tried and it worked. Showed me some random code but at least I know the chip is there.

Returned today via UPS. The LV store is holding a better quality Speedy for exchange. I quality assurance is a thing of the past with some LV products.

Your welcome! All bags and items have imperfections, even if you compare 10 of the same, thats my experience after buying and comparing LV items for years. If a thread is loose its something else, but this is considered normal by SAs from LV :smile:

You are right. I have compared 4 pochette metis in empreinte leather, and the glazing and stitching across all bags are different! Even how the bag stands is different. :)

Hopefully the price increases will be used to improve their quality control. It’s just unacceptable for the prices we pay for these “luxury” items.

This would be nice, but I highly doubt it will change anything about their quality control. These price increases are simply allowing CEO and top employees to get richer. Nothing else to improve the brand.

Hi! I’ve had a speedy 25 for a few months and I just realized the “25” size stamp isn’t on under the tab. Is this normal? I see on some videos people have a size stamp. I bought it from the boutique brand new.

Lock is not centered between the flowers. The SA told me there is no quality check to ensure the lock nor the fabric should be aligned?!? So just choose the best from the choices if there that option
