I would keep it. Not noticeable unless you're looking for it or know it's there. No one else will see that.
"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I would have noticed it as well, but I would still keep it personally. I'm assuming this is the mark of a handmade item.
Ugh. I’ve been stalking this bag for so long, finally got one. But noticed this on the handle. I took it in to exchange at my local boutique but they said, sure, they’ll return it but they have no idea if they’ll be able to get me another one. It wasn’t “order-able“ I ended up just bringing it back home with me but I don’t feel great about it.
I LOVE the bag but am Left feeling less then satisfied with my experience. Today I called the client services number to see if they could help, she suggested I email pictures to a certain email which I did. But I have no idea if or when they will follow up with.
I am including photos to see what you all think. Should I just keep it? I‘m new to LV. Bought my first SLG 9/11 and have since added five more bags to my collection.

I believe that’s a natural characteristic of leather. It’s unfortunate that it’s on the top, where it’s visible. Like the previous poster said, once patinas, it might not be as noticeable. Good luck on your decision!
Ohhhh I like that idea. And even more so that you guys don’t really consider it a flaw.
I have to say I LOVE the bag. I was thinking of it more of a summer bag because I live in Oregon and was afraid of the rain but after talking to the CA in the store yesterday I feel a lot better about it.

My new Speedy 20 was like that in the store. The SA kind of manipulated it to sit straight, and now the handles look perfectly aligned. I would have never guessed it was crooked in the first place. But this was just my experience. Maybe you could try to manipulate and see what happens?
I was able to order the elusive Alma BB in DE and found some minor flaws and am wondering if it’s worth returning/trying to replace? They’re fairly minor and this bag is hard to come by so I’m leaning toward keeping it but what do you guys think? There’s a snag in the fabric liner, and (hard to show in photos) but one side of the fabric “ripples” as in its not flush with the canvas.
Also is this wavy leather square normal?

Thank you for the reply! I ended up keeping it : ) tried to exchange for another one, but the stock has been low in the store and there has always been a line to get in. The sales associate in the store said it will likely get better after normal use. All the effort to track down another one and line up to get in the store exhausted me, and as soon as I decided to let it go and started using the bag, I looked past the handle. So I’m all set
