Hello! I received my Alma PM in monogram today in the mail. On the inside of the handle on one side, the stitching looks great to me, but it looks different and with more gaps in the leather between the stitches on the other side. Is this normal/acceptable? Thank you for your time,
Looks very typical LV stitching, both of them. I wouldn't worry about them.
 
Hi community, I need help here with my graceful pm, I bought online, would you guys think any of these is acceptable? I honestly feel tired having to deal with these quality issues from LV. This is my 4th Lv. Is it just me? Picture below is from 2 graceful pm, 1 has wrinkled and dry handle, “leather bursting on seams”, and another has again “leather bursting on seams” and unaligned canvas monogram at the side. Which one would u keep? Or return both.

Unacceptable! Especially the stitching!

Unfortunately, I would return both. Primarily for the bursting seams. It looks like it will eventually cause and excel wear on those areas of the leather.
Also, that’s interesting the canvas is thinner than the other. Curious to know if anyone knows why. You would think all recently made canvas would be the same?

Thanks for this! Now I am sure I couldn’t accept these graceful even if they are the last few pieces in store or in the warehouse. I hve contacted the CS to have them exchange if not for return. I actually experienced a few diff canvas thickness for my recent Lv purchases. 1 year ago I had 2 felicie pochette, Made in France and made in Spain and the MIF had a thicker canvas. Few months ago I was selecting between 3 keepall xs, all MIF, with wrinkling issue on the leather as well and 2 of them is having the thicker canvas. This current graceful is both made in France but different thickness as well. The consistency I have experienced from all my LV purchases is quite a ride.
 
I ordered a neverfull online with the peony lining and the color was so off from what I saw on my computer and other devices. Also, the pattern on the pouch was not even close to straight. I took it back and the person doing the return tried to tell me that it was fine until I told him that I sewed and would not make anything so crooked. I was so disappointed in the neverfull at that point that I didn't get another but instead bought something else. There were also scratches on some of the hardware. I'm starting to suspect that they are reselling returns online. That was my second return in three months. The other was a metis (clearly defective) that I ordered online.

I cant see anything wrong with these two! The leather is natural and will wrinkles.

Totally unacceptable.
I've ordered a vachetta strap from .Amazon for my Speedy 20, and my 30.00 strap looks more like an LV strap than this one.
Yes I purchased some from Etsy aand they are top notch

so update, I sent it back for an exchange and they sent the same POS back to me!!!!! So my CA said hold on to it and do another order. But the new one is "pending product availability" I just hope they send a replacement before I send the POS back!!!!! unbelievable

So the plan is order a second piece, examine it, better piece than your current, do a swap and return the current piece for the “second order” piece?
 
Hi everyone, while I am sure that this question must have been asked on this group but since it's my first Speedy, I wanted to check!
Are these wrinkles on the handle normal? Thank you for answering.
