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

Pochette Metis and leather goods do in fact often have stickers attached, but small leather goods do not. I don’t believe they even ship from the workshops with plastic attached…

I have gotten a keypouch with plastic over the the LV logo on the clasp. That was sometime last year, and only time I've seen an SLG arrive with plastic over it.

Got a brand new noe bb today but the vachetta looks like it has stains? Is this normal? My speedy b does not have these spots on the vachetta..

Probably just the unique skintone of the cow. I belive it is natural, the off-by-a-little stitching would bother me more, but not a dealbreaker either.

Hi all,
How do you all feel about this stitching on the large Kirigami. My in store CA isn’t replying to my message about it, and I’m considering asking for help from another CA at the same store but am I being too picky?

Looks acceptable to me, but doesn't hurt to compare with another one.

Thanks @mangohead for your reply. I’m most worried about the stitch that’s close to the edge of the canvas and it cracking over time

Hard no.
Not even H&M sells stitching like that.

That’s totally an “oops” stitching!! For a grand, I expect the craftsman to be able to follow a straight line for stitching and not a drunken craftsman at work.

Thank you! It totally looks like that, or that they had an oops moment and went one too far or forgot to curve the stitch. The other side is fine which to me makes it stick out even more

What is this on my reverse canvas? I got it last week and called CS and they asked me to send pics. It’s been almost a week and they haven’t responded. I’m about to drive to the store for an exchange. It arrived brand new like this. All the protective stickers are intact. Thanks in advance.

I don't like it at all!
You're not being picky at all imo.

It looks like a bad printing job!
I would exchange it.

Probably glue, that got onto the canvas and got dirty. Very common. Some people have it on the leather, some on the canvas, I had it on the lining inside literally all of my Pochettes. If it is that, it comes off very easily. Some baby wipe and a few firm strokes with a towel should do the trick.

I was able to see one made in France in an LV store. The vachetta different color, the handles had a cut in the leather like 2 inches long. So for now I am keeping mine.

So sorry you received this for the price you paid for brand new bag. This looks like a returned item. Call the CS and see if they can send you new one as this empriente version is readily available. But, not sure how they will handle it with the price increase. Hopefully they will do a even exchange. Would be much easier if you can personally take ir to a boutique. Good Luck!

I believe it’s not acceptable.
At the day of price increase I received online ordered Métis in marine rouge.
The leather was amazing. But the bag was so much crooked that it was falling forward when empty.
it had plastic on the lock but what’s the point if it’s defective anyway.
It was also funny shaped at the front side just like yours.
I requested an exchange immediately. However still no news about it and I just feel that maybe I’ll end up just returning it.
I can’t believe they send faulty items with online orders.

Oh gosh.. for a second I thought you had bought this second hand and I though hmm it is pretty nice.. then I got to understand that this is supposed to be new?! hell no..

UGGGGHHHHH thanks all. That was my first impression too. I am super disappointed I wish I could take it in to a boutique but I am hours away from one. Yeah, I was shocked that it was supposed to be "NEW" with the way the bag is structured. I emailed customer service with the pictures and they said that the protective plastic is NOT standard packaging. They also suggested that I just fill the bag and it will be easier to close. I really want this bag, so I'm going to call CS and see what they say. the email did say something about exchanges and I sure hope it will be an even exchange! Thanks again!
