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:sad:

I know that some sprays or kind of creams exist to fix it.
 
Does anyone with the Neverfull DE have bulging on the pull tabs? I got mine 10 days ago, cinched in the sides, and that’s what happened to the leather. The pull drawstring itself is uneven, meaning one side of the pull tab is longer than the other and the button tab in the middle doesn’t move so I can’t even it out. Both sides of the bag are like this. Photos are attached. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I noticed a loose stitch in my mini pochette. The stitch wriggles around when touched and isn’t flat against the tab. Is this normal? I purchased this a couple of months ago and used it a few times. I don’t want this to pop or continue to loosen over time. TIA!

Oh so sorry to hear this. IMHO , that is not normal . I have NF in Mono and its the same age as yours , mine doesn't look like that and the button tab is 'movable' in mine.

Since its only 10 days old, see if you can return them and get a replacement? :smile: :smile: Best of luck !

That's definitely not normal. I would take it back to LV and get a replacement.

Anyone know if this issue with the alignment on the top of the bag will fix itself or if my bag will stay like this forever and a return due?
For reference this was made in Spain and very hard to source! Just disappointed with the fact the top is crooked and doesn’t look good! Pls help

Anyone else have a montsouris and the leather and pattern different on the front and back? It reeks of chemical, I was expecting a beautiful leather smell

If this is brand new , I think you should return them . That doesn't look normal / good at all .. Seems that the front embossing already faded away? And its not really symmetrical
