Hi everyone
Could anyone help me is the stitching holes on the neverfull mm consider normal or it’s too big? Also the leather trim for this one I got in particular, one corner leather feels very thin and it moves/winkles easily. I found it is caused by the two leather ends that meets... suppose to be overlapping, but the overlapping is not enough hence the thin part got exposed. Is that going to wear/tear quickly in the future? I have another nf in monogram from 3 years ago has none of these issues. Urghh so frustrating! Tia!

Hi all :smile:

Would appreciate if you all can enlighten me on whether the circled parts in blue has problems. Bought this today and SA told me its a new piece but upon inspection at home does not seem so? Thank you.

pic 1: the LV floral blossom does not seem to fit properly?

Pic 2: is the glazing done properly as the colour dont seem even?

pic 3: does new pieces come with the sticker on these 2 circled in blue parts? This is because the centre part has the protective sticker but not the 2 circled in blue parts. There seems to be fine scratches on one side.

I think your flower is fine? I’m not sure what you’re referring to. A picture of mine is below in case a comparison helps you.

I don’t see the glazing issue but I admittedly don’t have the best eye for these things.

When mine was new, it only had a protective sticker on the front.

if u zoom in to the picture it seems like your centre gold button fits nicely but mine seems unevenly fitted in and you can see the edge of the rough leather? So i am not sure if this is common for the capucine.

as for the protective sticker do you mean you only had it at the centre too?

thank you :smile:
 
The flower 'gap' seems the be the same size on both of your Capucines, it feels more pronounced on the pink because of the contrast. They can send it back to the Atelier to push it back more nicely under the center dot with the round tool they use.
Vuitton edge painting on Taurillon pieces are notoriously poor. It is machine made, so overflow and uneven, wonky edges are commonplace. With contrasting coloured paint it even screams. In the pic it looks that it has a generously sized paint overflow on that flap.
Scratches are inevitable, but just like most, I like to do them myself, not get them factory made.

thank you for your opinions. Will you suggest sending it back to to fix these?

The SA did tell me that as this is a seasonal piece and sold out in my country hence if I inspect the bag and find any defects they can send it back to have the defects fixed and hardware parts changed if i wanted.

I would try. My guess is that they will fix the flower and the logo, but wont be able to replace the flap. The whole bag should be deconstructed to do that. This is when they rather swap it with a new one. But if sold out, I guess they won't.

Hi all my husband just got me a new felicie for Valentine's Day but I have a question about what comes with the bag. Does it comes with any booklet or such? This is my first LV purchase after 10 years and I usually got any booklet inside the box. This one just the pochette and nothing else.
Also does the chain comes attached? I saw some unboxing video they comes inside a plastic bag but other video they aren't? Can someone share their experience please? Anyway so grateful for my husband's sweet gesture and he got it just right before the price increases so I think I'm so lucky to still be able to score the felicie pochette today!
 
Hi all asking for your opinion if felicie pochette button suppose to be like this "vintage" looking or this is a badly scratched button?My hubby just got it today but I realized this right away and I wasn't in the store myself to compare.

Mine came with the chain attach and tucked inside the bag. No booklets, just a little card that says the materials, etc. Usually on YT when someone has LV, and the straps, etc. come in plastic it’s a sign it’s fake. I’ve never had anything come in a plastic bag from LV. Enjoy your Felicie!

I think it depends if it was purchased online or in store. I recently purchased the dauphine and a bandoulière strap online and the chain that comes with the Dauphine was in plastic and all the protective stickers were intact with the purse. The Bandlouliere strap was in a plastic bag placed inside a dust bag. It think it depends on who's packing the shipment.

thanks for your input, that's reassuring! Also if you don't mind, another thing I want to ask is the button, does yours look like this too? I just uploaded a close up pic of mine. Is this a "vintage" looking hardware that being used for the botton or badly scratched? Since I wasn't the one who got it I don't have anything to compare with. I noticed it right away when I unboxed it.

I'm annoyed with the squares aren't aligned, but there are people who dont care. Personally, I would return for another one that's lined up better.

It’s not supposed to be scratched or vintage-looking, but many of them do look like that unfortunately. You can always bring it in, and see if they have a better one to exchange it with.
