I’m eyeing up a Felicie pochette in scarlet or bicolor noir.. just worried about color transfer with the scarlet.
Ohhhh~~ i love the look of felicie. i have it in the damier azur. but i shouldve gotten it in empreinte. now im thinking to sell mine and get the leather version. i also love the bicolor in noir and cream. the leather feel so lush. Good luck on deciding
The alignment is slightly off, but I've seen way worse. I've seen many wonky bags coming out of France. It really doesn't matter where the bag was made. What matters is how well the bag was put together. I had my CA keep an eye out for me. A perfect one finally come into the store after months of waiting and it was made in the US. It depends on what you can live with. Besides that little misalignment, everything else looks good, especially the nice round shape of the bag. I left a link below so you can check out other PSMs and decide.

So adorable, had to get it! :) A little edgy, a lot of fun! (excuse the messy background and smudgy mirror :P)

Thank you for sharing this! I would not even have looked for the shape of the bag. I tend to just assume every bag is made correctly lol. Do you think others would notice this alignment issue while I’m wearing it or likely just something I notice when I’m inspecting it? It was a very sweet gift so I am hesitant to attempt an exchange.
Looks fine to me but I never even bother to look at alignment and I’ve been buying lv for many years. Having said that, it doesn’t sound like you are loving the bag
I had to zoom in to check the alignment because it looked perfect to me. It’s only slightly off but as others mentioned, if it will bother you then you can try to exchange it. It’s such a great bag..hope you find one you love.
I recently sent my brand new Boulogne in for an online repair because the strap had glazing that was lifting and peeling on all the ends. They determined I needed a replacement strap. The new strap came in today and there’s brown dots on the buttons. Not like the normal aged look though that come on some of the SLGs. I’ll attach some pictures. Just wanna know if this is normal or should I contact CS to exchange for a new strap? My first strap had all shiny buttons. The buttons on this one have brown dots. It feels smooth though and not bumpy. All opinions appreciated. Don’t wanna waste my time exchanging if this is a normal thing. I’m afraid it’s oxidization? Thank you so much in advance.
That doesn't look normal to me…I would get a new strap..
Definitely request a new strap. I had similar problem. I had sent my pochette Metis for glazing and they sent new straps which the hardware was tarnished. I complained on an email and sent photos and they sent a replacement strap. I did not have the send back the defect strap. LV is really good with services and repairs
It’s normal for the hardware to chip or lose colour, unfortunately, but I wouldn’t be expecting it to look like that when brand new.
Crazy!!! You’d think they would be super cautious of making sure the items are of good quality when sending out repairs back to people. I emailed them and sent pictures! Hoping they exchange it for me. Thank you
Yes I agree! That’s exactly what I was thinking when I first seen it. I have bags that are years old and the hardware doesn’t look like this. Just needed confirmation though before I reached back out in case I was over looking anything.
i just got the monogram lv key pouch. was so excited. however i heard about quality issues and noticed the stitches on the bottom. is it bad? or because i was opening it too big? i attached several pictures of me opening it at different widths. i heard that lately the key pouches have bad stitching. the bottom part does line up nicely. please help
