"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I just got this (purchased online) and the two pouches do appear to be misaligned… please check out the pics and let me know if this is normal or would it bug you? The bag seems so hard to find! Does anyone know where or how I can order a new one? Thanks!!

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! I just bought a speedy b 25 in the store, which was the last one in stock there. However, I noticed one side of the handle is misaligned/crooked. Is this degree of misaligned acceptable or normal? Thank you!

That does not look normal to me. My advice would be to return it. There is hope to purchase a replacement. I know they’re hard to find in store but you should have luck emailing the concierge to purchase. I ordered the same bag in early Sept and received it 9 days later and was Made in USA. I was a little disappointed it wasn’t France but I’m ok with it because I didn’t find anything wrong with the bag.

It is the kind of cosmetic issue that goes away after a week of normal use. Like the wrinkles on the canvas. Probably the handles were bent while being stored in the warehouse. But these handles are literally just a piece of rope wrapped in leather. They bend again when pulled down by a packed bag. If the handle tabs that are stitched to the body of the bag were misaligned, I'd say return immediately, but they seem fine.

Thanks for your reply, yeah, it’s certainly not perfect and fairly noticeable when compared to the normal side.

Thanks for your reply. I searched a few posts and did see some people mention this may go away after using. I guess I’m just not sure if I want to accept one that has some issue in the beginning, especially when this is more of an impulsive buy for me.

Bought this PO voyage clouds from an insta reseller and noticed this double stitching, is this normal or a bad sign of it being a replica? I noticed it on both sides, but not on opposite end...please anyone with store bought po voyage confirm if this is normal?

Thank you Bull, it gives me great reassurance that this double stitching is considered normal for this type of SLG.

I just purchased a brand new Neverfull Damier Azur… and I’m concerned about the trim also? Does this look like excessive wrinkling?

The lighting conditions are very special in the first 2, even a baby would look old like that The 3rd pic looks perfectly fine, but let's see what Neverfull owners say.

Totally - the first two pics are just with the evening light coming in from the window - third is with main light on and camera flash! I’m hoping the wrinkling is normal! Just hope it doesn’t mean it will wear quicker

Couple more pics for reference ‍♀️

The wrinkling would be bothersome, I would exchange it. I have a NF but it's in DE, so the leather is stiffer. Looking at the vachetta trim on an older bag I own, it's not wrinkled like this at all.

My DA Neverfull's trim was a smooth as a baby's bottom when I got it (even in wonky lighting). Yours looks a little chewed up in comparison for being a new bag. If I received one like yours, I would exchange it.
