Hi everyone, first post here! I bought a Coussin BB last week and feel a little concerned about the creasing in the leather at the top of the bag. I had gone into the boutique the week before and the one shown to me was absolutely perfect, but when I returned it had been sold and my CA had ordered this one for me instead. There was another available in the store that day that didn't have any creasing but the embossing was super shallow and honestly looked a bit off. Another CA assured me that the creasing was normal for the bag and I decided to just buy it instead of taking the chance and ordering another one. But now I'm wondering if I made the right choice? What do you all think? Thanks in advance

This is very typical for leather and LV, do you think you can live with it? Thats the question. If you cant, you should return it. The SAs will probably say its the characteristics of the leather, some customers might even not notice it.

Got my new PM yesterday. The embossing is beautiful and the lock open and closes perfect. But Im worried about the sides. one side is perfect but the other side sticks out. Im worried the leather wont hold the weight from the strap on that side.. Its sooo hard to show how it looks in the pictures, but when the side sticks out the weight of the strap will hit differently then the perfect side. Im affraid the leather holding the ring (to the strap) eventually will crack… would you keep it?

Honestly I can't see the different. I would see if they have another one to compare. If you are worry, then I would exchange it.

I only have 2 LVs, one purchased at a Boutique (haumea) and one purchased preloved because I fell in love with a discontinued style. Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post, but I’m curious if this seam is typical for a Lumineuse? I’ve seen some seams that are a little off but the pattern alignment seems more off here. :( am I being paranoid?

I think mine on my turtledove are not completely symmetrical, but if everything else is fine, I would keep it.

I can’t really tell from the pic but I think it looks ok? What seems off? who’s really going to look at the bottom of your bag anyway? if it really bothers you, you can return it… I love the Lumi style, im Sorry I sold mine!
