Hello, I purchased this Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Neverfull MM Cerise, made in Spain 2018 in Japan in 2021 from Yahoo Auctions. I do not need authentication as I already used Real Authentication and they deemed it Authentic. I just wanted some feedback whether this stitching inconsistency is normal on this part of the bag as it has always given me doubts if it was previously repaired. It seems to go from tightly knit and clean stitching to large and loose. Thanks in advance.

My brandnew Spring in the City Empreinte Leather NF is the same! So I guess its kind of normal and perhaps depends on the craftsman. First I was bit surprised, but then I told myself, better this way round (tight short stitches for more stability where the bag sides been holding together) than loosen or forgotten stitches :yes: which some NF owners also experienced…
See it as a bonus :tup:

Hello everyone,

I just have bought a Petit Sac Plat and just realized that the LV buttons were not straight. Do you think that this is normal? Thank you in advance!

Thanks for easing me a bit that there are stitching inconsistencies with the NF. Doesn't seem like it should have passed the quality check with this type of stitching. But, I'm glad you don't think it was previously repaired.

Unfortunately is is. They never align these small studs, they are completely random. It even was like that on the press photos until some time ago. Recently they photoshopped the photos. But in reality, they are not aligned :(

Yeah they never claimed to make sure all the buttons align perfectly. However, I do own a nano speedy where all four LV buttons lined up perfectly but I think it's just pure luck (or the craftsman has OCD?) and not something to be expected.

Hey, all! I took the plunge when I saw a Damier Azur Speedy 25 available on the website and was... less than thrilled when I received it today. It was packed in a box that was way too small for the bag, with the bag folded up inside, and I'm 90% sure it's a return as there were no price tags, wrapping, etc., and I'm pretty sure there's some sort of mark on the interior lining (last picture). I'm tempted to return, but I know how rare this piece is -- I'm just not super impressed by the way a $1500 bag was treated. What do y'all think?

It’s normal for the speedy to be folded. It looks pretty good to me. The only issue I see are the marks on the interior but that’s very minor in my opinion

Brand new vachetta strap from LV, came already with very deep wrinkles and the glazing appears to be peeling in some parts, sigh.

I really dont wish to nip pick but this is brand new and paying full price after price increase.

Hey Ya'll - I purchased a croisette from a local luxury consignment store and somehow didn't notice till I got home that the closure is scratched to hell. It almost looks chipped???? I've had my Pochette Metis (purchased directly from the LV store) for years and it looks nothing like this bad. Is this normal? Does this just happen when a bag is 3+ years old? Was I duped? I'm within my return window for like 3 more days.

I wouldn't say those are deep wrinkles. Unless they give us these leather strings totally flat and ironed, they will have some, inevitably, and it's perfectly normal. Even the smooth leathers from Hermès do this here and there.
The edge paint on the other hand indeed did spill over a little. It wouldn't bother me, gives a little made-by-hand vibe, even though many LV manufacturing steps are heavily automated. But if it really bothers you that much, I am sure they can give you another leather strip.
