I bought this bag on the LV website on 4/1, I received it on 4/5. I wore it for a couple of days and then someone pointed out to me that the stitching on the heat stamp tab is crooked and now it is all I can see. I am worried about asking for exchange as it has been used, however the stitching is very noticeable and I am wondering if that is considered a defect that LV would offer a replacement for? I’m wondering if anyone has a similar experience that they can share.

Any used bags will be offered a free repair. They will typically “red light” a new bag so you don’t have to wait 6 months for your repair. Regardless, they aren’t going to return a used bag and try to sell it to another unsuspecting client as a new bag.

LV will claim its handmade and nothing is perfect, and nothing is wrong with your bag. Take it to the store and compare it to other bags and see if they are any better.
 
Hi everyone :)

I just bought a victorine wallet but the stitching on the right side of the flap is a bit wonky - it isn’t straight. Only found out that when I left the store. Should I return or keep it? Checked with me CA that there isn’t another one in store at the moment.

There was a white residue on the crooked stitching but I got it off with a damp cloth.

I bought a Noe BB monogram looks that at the bottom, I could not ignore, thus I returned it. However, I regretted it a bit as I could not get my hands on another Noe BB monogram due to the shortage. So it is up to you whether you can accept or not
 
Thanks in Advance for your help. I ordered an Alma BB World Tour online. Unfortunately I’m out of town and my daughter opened the box. When she FT me, I noticed an indent. There were scratches on the bottom. We spoke to client services and she took the bag into the store to show them. They are saying it will come out with packing. I’m not convinced. I am insisting that they should replace it as it’s more expensive than the usual Alma BB. They are trying to say this is part of the variability in bags? I find that a ridiculous argument. Any advice?

Small dents in canvas are normal. Stuff it with tissue or air paper. That usually helps. Usually it’s a result of the bag laying on one side during shipment.
