I wouldn't mind the side tab that much, but the inside fraying is something that's only OK if I've caused it down the road, but factory fresh: hard no.

This was purchased April this year and only ever used for either 3-5 cards or a few coins + some cash.
can I quite confidently say that despite quality decline this shouldn't be happening? The stitching had pulled on the canvas even more now and you can kinda see in the photos the brown inner canvas parts.
last time I brought it in the SA said it was wear & tear... I'm going to bring it in again tomorrow to ask them to inspect it and ask for an exchange.

Hi all! I managed to grab this cutie online after stalking it for so long, but I am just concerned with it’s quality
I am worried that the canvas will crack from the holes of the stitches with use. I am also worried about the bumps seen on the inner zippers. Its present on both sides. Also there is wuite a gap on both ends of the zipper.
Should I return this piece and continue searching for a better piece?

Congrats!
It looks like an average piece to me. I've seen many pieces IRL at the store and unfortunately LV makes them like this. There are a few exceptional pieces that are slightly better, but in general, this looks normal to me.
There are also worse looking pieces too.
Definitely not acceptable. That’s shocking that they would sell it with that interior damage. I wouldn’t even pay full price for a bag from Zara if it was already damaged. Insane that LV passes these items through their quality control process.
That’s generally how they look. It’s not ideal, certainly, but I have one or two clés which are a few years old and on which the stitching is visible from the outside like that, and I’ve never had any issues with the canvas cracking.
Hello, question for you lovely ladies and gents. My husband gifted me early for Christmas but while I love my new OnTheGo this bump or dent is driving me nuts!! I have tried straightening out the spot and stuffing the bag to help shape it, but is this something that will go away over time or should I exchange? My By The Pool does not have this issue even after using it all summer. It’s gotten slightly better over the past week but still driving me nuts and I’m dying to use this bag.

Hi everyone, I know I'm late to the game on the PSM. I put it off for a while as I thought it was too basic/everyone had it. I feel like the trend has died down a bit and grew interested again. I also could not get over how cute/versatile it is and pulled the trigger.
I FINALLY have her but I'm so torn. I'm iffy on the misalignment in the front (see photos). I've seen photos of other PSMs and definitely have seen worse. What are your thoughts - keep or return?

That would drive me crazy! I would exchange it. For that kind of money, I'd want it to be perfect.
It definitely sounds like it's an eyesore for you. It could potentially get worse over time. I agree with Mid Century Gal, I would exchange for a bump-less version.
Hey all, I've been seriously looking into purchasing a LV document portfolio but it would have to be a used one. In my search I've noticed that the portfolios made up to 1990 on the expanding edge side it looks like the edge is folded under twice and stitched to give a clean edge, yet from the 90's on it looks like the edge was only folded once then stitched leaving the cut edge of the canvas visible. It seems to me that gives a sloppy look as the edge can also curl over extended use. Did LV really piece it together that way? I've looked at portfolios on TheRealReal which doesn't show pictures of the expanding edge and Fashiophile which does show pics of said edge so I'm assuming those portfolios are legit. Also I'm curious about the monogram line up of the portfolios. I have a catalogue from the 90's showing portfolios where the monogram was nicely aligned on all sides of the front, yet all the used ones I come across show only the top and right side matching and the LV's not lined up centered which bothers me. I want a LV portfolio as I want it to go with the other luggage pieces I have but want to be sure it's worth it.
Thank you, I just wanted to see if I was just being nit-picky. I’m requesting an appointment for tomorrow to exchange
Thank you! My husband didn’t think it was an issue but it’s really bothering me. What stinks is other then that all the stitching and alignments are perfect, but this is just such an eyesore to me!
I had one 10+ years ago and don't remember how the stitching looked but I bought it pre-loved and used it heavily for years with no real issues. Finally gave away a few years back and I have bought 2 new ones that both have stitching like yours and you can see through where the stitches are. I will say that I am more careful now but both of mine are still holding up well. I think this is normal quality for LV nowadays. You could always hold out for a better one but with the constant price increases I don't know if I would be willing to pay what pricing is already.
