Agree on this. Without the pre defined bend lines, not so nice creasing could happen along that area.
"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I just want to add that I've received it on Friday and I can still exchange it.
edit: I just checked my NF DE in day light and stiching looks similar, there is also red "glow" when you look closely. I have it for four years now and just noticed it
Probably because of more "buissy" print I have never seen it it before.

I took a picture in store for a client because we happened to get in one and it definitely has the bend on the pink pouch. Yours is defective and should be not only returned, but pointed out to the manager to not resell it.Hi there,
I mentally prepared myself to overlook any minor imperfections before receiving my order, though is this enough to warrant an exchange or am I being too critical?
I ordered the Kirigami set.
My pink pouch is missing the 3 lines at the fold which is I assume serves a purpose and I see it being present on their own website.
The inside also has a bubble that's roughly 2cm x 1cm. I would like to think that it's the micro chip, then again I might be lying to myself. who knows.
Other than that, the other 2 pieces are beautiful!!!

The missing embossing on your pink pouch is not normal. Take it back and exchange it for another one.
Thank you so much for replying
I do plan to use it and know that bent marks and possibly more will happen overtime haha.
what I was referring to is the ''line embossing'' where the bent will occur. My pink one is missing the embossing.
I've attached a pic of what it looked like on the site vs mine.
Thanks so much for bearing with me as I'm totally unfamiliar with LV
**sry I think what I was getting at is, is it normal for LV to leave out apart of their design at times as it is a minor design.
Thanks again

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply and sharing your knowledge.
Mydrye28, you are right! Defective really does sum it up for me.
I feel so much more comfortable now in asking for an exchange as all the replies has put my mind at ease.
Thanks soo much!!
This is something you need to be mindful of when using your pieces. The parts that age are the parts that interact with light and oils. If you are wearing crossbody, the aging tends to be less consistent. That’s when you can try to change orientations and rotate which part of the bag sees the light. You can place the lighter parts in the sun near a window. Etc. it’s all natural leather and should age in tandem so long as it’s all getting the same amount of light…
And also cows have different skintones (just us like people) and there is also a variance in how their skin reacts to light, how it ages. Almost sure that those handles were not made from a single cowhide. Perfectly natural. I would personally love it, since it makes it more unique, but I see why people might not like it. They might be happier with treated leather like Épi or Empreinte.
None of my pocket organizers look like that and if they did I’d return them. And I didn’t pay what they’re charging for them now after all these price increases. I’d return it if I were you, but since it’s so limited if you really love it I’d keep it.
I'm not gonna lie. This freaks me out a bit. I have bag in for leather replacement and having to start the patina process in the first place is kind a nerve wrecking. But hopefully it will even out eventually. What are you going to to about it? Did you speak to an SA yet?
Hey
I just found this thread because I wanted to know what was wrong with my items
few months before, I just bought an Agenda PM and have the same white glue peeling all around the edges
I rubbed it down but it comes back all the time
same with 2 card holders - both after only few days of use

Can you post pictures? As far as a card holder within a few days of use, that could be the residual glue that leaks out and easily comes off.
I'm so disappointed right now. I sent my brand new Alma BB to the atelier (huge mistake) to fix a dent in the handle more than 8 weeks ago. They kept saying they were waiting for the "parts". After multiple follow ups they finally said it was ready to pick up. I sent my husband to get it so he unfortunately only inspected the handles. Upon opening it I immediately noticed that it was squished and had a scratch on the bottom trim that wasn't there before. I've messaged the atelier but at this point I don't even know if I want to go through leaving it there for who knows how many more months. UGH. Sorry for the long post, just needed to vent

Oh no~~ its not good. I know the feeling. My speedy b25 stayed in the lv repair longer than it stayes in my closet. I’ve had it repaired for i guess more than 3x and pushed the repair guy. Fortunately i didnt pay anything. The side leather wasnt really perfect but atleast they changed the hardwarws. I hope you will find solution soon.
