Here’s my theory though, won’t another one just do the same thing because they all fold in like that? Maybe this style of the bag is prone to that
I don't own one so I can't tell you what it should look like. To me, I see fold canvas before, I don't think it should look like that though. Maybe see if you can take a look at another one to compare. It kinda look like a split or crack to me.
 
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.
The slight wrinkles wouldn't bother me personally. Its on the underside of the strap which is bound to wrinkle when you attach the strap and it is arched.

The little excess red glazing seems minor too. If you decide to exchange, it would be better to do in store where you can physically check to satisfaction. If exchanged online, you might see something else you wouldn't ve happy about. Good luck!

Hi guys,

I bought a GM Neverfull in Monogram in July last year during lockdown where I lived, using online delivery from their official website.
Package arrived poorly packed, with the GM Neverfull just laying flat & empty inside the box with no padding or any protection. Felt kinda crappy since the purchase was expensive and I expected better from LV but because it was during lockdown, there’s not much I can do.
Anyway, what’s been bugging me every now and then is the alignment of the bag, I always thought genuine neverfull’s alignment is perfect, I don’t think I’ve ever since one like mine? Maybe doesn’t have to be perfect but I don’t think I’ve ever seen double lining like this?

Can you expert have a look and let me know what you think? Does this look fake to you?
Thanks in advance and greatly appreciate it!

Hi everyone! Okay... so I am hoping that 3rd times the charm... This is my 3rd PSM and I would like to know y'alls opinions! I think she is pretty perfect regarding alignment (I'm not too worried about the handle because I know that will change with use). BUT is the indentation/canvas cut near the zipper normal for the PSM? It is on both sides, very small. I do not recall seeing it before on my others- I wanted to ask on here! TIA! :smile: (My first PSM had canvas torn across the flap and my second had a stitching bump on the back - this is wayyyy better!!!)

Looks great to me! What I look for on the NF sides is that the canvas is aligned/ meets up horizontally together and yours looks perfect. The double row of stitching on the sides is correct. During the pandemic often they didn’t include things like ribbons or tags. As long as it had a dust bag in the box. If you didn’t get a dust bag I would reach out to them for one. Congrats on your beautiful classic NF. Hope you wear it in good health. :heart:

I’m not an expert but I think yours looks great. Mine has those cuts at the corners too and after using it for 2 years I’ve had no issues with it. Enjoy your beauty!

Honestly the alignment looks fine. That would not bother me at all . It’s not going to get better than that for alignment. I wouldn’t worry and enjoy the bag.
 
The slight wrinkles wouldn't bother me personally. Its on the underside of the strap which is bound to wrinkle when you attach the strap and it is arched.

Thanks for your advice, i decided to return it because the zipper edge was also fraying.. sigh.
