As the days pass it’s not annoying me as much. Defo obvious that one side is more wrinkled than the other but they say it’s all dependant on the piece of natural leather that is used and some parts will have wrinkling naturally. Just hope it doesn’t mean it will wear and tear quicker

It is not OK. It was turned inside out a little more agressively as it should have. Looks like the leather got torn too. You should expect better, this is a VERY expensive bag even for a Vuitton and it is their new flagship design. Not to mention that this kind of issue would be just as unacceptable on a 150 dollar card holder.
This looks TERRIBLE. I try not to be picky but this is unacceptable. So sorry! For that kind of money, they need to do a much better job of looking at these things before they ship them. My goodness....
This is not ok by all means. Spending such price, quality must not be compromised. Hope you get a perfect exchange
I just purchased this pochette metis bicolor empreinte from LV store this week and notice that the glazing is rough/ sharp to touch and uneven. Do you think it's normal for pochette metis glazing or i should exchange it?
Score this after price increase, I would want my bag to be as perfect as possible. Thank you

Your bag might have been a return. When the sides get cinched it gets wrinkled like that. I noticed the wrinkling is right by the cinched part.
This is quite a typical look for Vuitton edge-painting. Hermès is in a different league of course, but these edges are machine painted here. You can find a better or worse one, but this is not a defect.I just purchased this pochette metis bicolor empreinte from LV store this week and notice that the glazing is rough/ sharp to touch and uneven.

I think this looks similar to my pochette metis. If there is nothing wrong with the rest of the bag, I would keep it.I just purchased this pochette metis bicolor empreinte from LV store this week and notice that the glazing is rough/ sharp to touch and uneven.

You could be right! I think I’ll just keep it, it’s likely to wrinkle anyway and I live 3 hrs away from the store! I suppose you just expect perfection when your spending that kind of money
Aww this is really not ok! I hope they can get you a replacement! So annoying that they don’t get it right the first time round
Yes, it will eventually wrinkle. My two NFs are starting to wrinkle by just sitting there where the handles are flopping over. It all depends on what you can live with.
Received the rose gold vernis mini pochette yesterday and it's definitely going back. Just thought I'd share these pics. On the bottom, the stitching is absolutely terrible. Uneven, tiny stitches adjacent to longer, irregular stitches, and loose threads. What a mess. For over $700, HELL no. Also on one corner, the monogram piping is either peeling or is covered in some kind of residue.
This will be my FOURTH return to LV for defects this year alone. They are out of chances.

I just got my vintage Saumur back from Vachetta replacement. On the outside it looked fine, so I happily took it with me from the local LV store. But when I opened one of the flaps I saw the tab attached looking very wonky (the whole shape, stitching, creases on the left side) and the inside of the side straps looking very wrinkly. Also, they removed the date code without asking. So the bag has no date code at all now (my friend and I searched everywhere inside).
I paid 800€ for the vachetta replacement. Do you think I should go back to LV and tell them I’m unhappy with the tab? Or do you think they won’t be able to do it any better than this? I did a poll on IG and the majority of people think the tab looks fake, the quality looks so bad…
I haven’t purchased any LV bags in a long time and only heard about the quality decline. So I appreciate your input whether I’m too picky or this is something you would bring up to them.
