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

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.

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.

Thanks for responding! I contacted customer service and they are doing an exchange for me. Hopefully the new one is perfect!

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?

This would bother me for sure! So sorry. But it all depends on your tolerance level I suppose.

Just got this purse today for a Christmas gift but after seeing the reviews of glazing regarding this purse I’m a little worried. I took best pictures I could, but does it look to be potential glazing on this purse? I don’t see any cracking but just little bumps.

I don't see anything?

Looks perfect to me. Keep an eye and if the glazing starts to peel, they can repair it for you.

Are the small imperfections on top normal?

That’s good to hear. Lol. Thanks for the help.

I posted on the speedy 20 thread asking the ladies on that thread but maybe I should have posted here. I haven’t bought an LV bag in over 10 years but really loved the speedy 20 and was able to get my hands on one thanks to this forum! I was so excited but when it arrived, I saw that the handles are slightly misaligned and not parallel with each other. One handle is about 2mm or so off, you can see the picture that one handle is stitched slightly lower than the other handle. I also noticed that one handle is also slightly higher than the other handle because it was stitched closer to the zipper, again probably about 2mm or so. These issues don’t affect the functionality of the bag (but we’re not really buying these bags just for functionality), and you can’t really see the discrepancies unless it’s pointed out, but now I that see them I can’t unsee them either. Are these flaws to be expected for a hand assembled bag? Again, it’s my first LV in over 10 years so I don’t know if this is the quality I should expect these days. Thanks for any thoughts and whether I should return it. I know if I return it, it’s unlikely I’ll find another one anytime soon.

I returned my Alma BB because one of many others reasons. When I hold them up, they kinda tilted to 1 side. You have 30 days window to return, hopefully you can find another one to compare before you return this one. If not, I would just return it because it will bother me every time I hold it or use it.

Last Friday I received Speedy B 25 DE and I noticed a crooked handle on one side, thought I was too picky, but after 2 hours out today I inspected the bag and saw this, like the print on one corner chipped off leaving a black circle and another one is slightly fading already.
Tell me please am I being again too picky or that should not happen to a brand new bag? MIF and microchipped

Whatever is seen as imperfection is just the way it's done with glazing. Glazing is never completely flat, straight, or even.

I would be upset with the chipping.
