I think they don't consider this a defect and it's pretty normal to see them like that. Many on the forum have commented that it won't get worse over time. That said, I returned mine and waited for one that wasn't like that, so it's up to you if you will accept it or not.

That's normal. Many of them are like that. Obs, the more you stretch it the more light will come through the bottom through the stitching. When it's being used, there's no way that it'll be stretched to that extent.
I’d return it if I were you. The only light I like is at the end of the tunnel 
I bought 1 and returned it, the stitches on mine were really terrible it’s like a dog just chewed on it!

Hi ladies, i just bought a Diane was wondering if the “wave” in the canvas on the flap is normal?
Also, is the stitching on the buckle considered “off” to you? I didn’t notice it at first but now it feels like the stitching is off-centre?

This doesn't look great to me.... I'm wondering if the wave would come out with use or if it was sewn sort of wonky?
Thanks for your reply! I was wondering the same, would like to seek if anyone else had the same experience which managed to flatten with use…
Feeling kinda bummed as I collected it in store but was too excited to bring it home that I didn’t do a thorough enough check.
Don't let that stop you from returning it if that's what you decide. As long as it isn't used, you can return it.
IMO it’s not that bad. You’d have to go through a lot of trouble to find a perfect one, or have a CA keep an eye out for you in store. Plus, since it was a gift you might want to keep it for sentimental reasons. It all depends on what you can live with.
I agree, the two MIF speedys I got recently have been so wonky! I exchanged it for a non-made in France bag and that one was perfect!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.
LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack
So adorable, had to get it! :) A little edgy, a lot of fun! (excuse the messy background and smudgy mirror :P)forum.purseblog.com
I hate how LV likes to use limited availability to pressure clients to keep the item for fear we wont be able to land another pieceI spoke to a couple of different people and they told me it has limited availability at the boutique closest to me (about 1.5 hours away from where I live). I don't know why the first rep I spoke to said I couldn't exchange an online order. It clearly states you can on the website. The other woman I spoke to said that I could and she suggested an exchange in person too. The strap is mainly the problem. They said that a parts repair request for the strap would take several months possibly. It's MIF. It's strange how everyone wants a MIF bag. Those are the ones I seem to have the most problems with.Also as a side note, I didn't care for the way it was packed in the dust bag. The straps were left attached to the bag, and I assumed they would be detached and rolled up inside the bag. No stickers on the hardware, except for the little pouch it came with. It almost felt like a return to me.
I returned the DA PA as i found the zipper end has signs of fraying and i dont want it to get worse in time.. the leather strap was also showing shoddy uneven glazing. I dont see why i should pay luxury price for badly constructed pieces, even if it is hard to get
In fact , this item is steadily dropping off my wishlist lol, i dont need it as much as i thought
