Hi, I’m new to TPF and this is my first post. This community is so helpful so I’m hoping you can help with a question regarding the “made in France” stamp on the back of my brand new (fresh from boutique) Nano Noe. As you can see from both of the pictures, the imprint is very faint and hardly noticeable. I had to tilt the bag and zoom in just to capture the shot. Is this normal? I don’t have this issue with any of my other bags. Thanks in advance for your help!

Beautiful piece congratulations and welcome! I have some pieces that are stamped faintly too, to the point you almost can’t read it, so I think it’s normal. How lucky you are to get a MIF one! :heart:

My nano noe is exactly the same with the faint made in France stamp.

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?

To update on this, my SA sent me pictures of another Diane they have in store. The stitching on the left is not that great (2 longer stitches), but i might just accept this piece if it doesn’t have the wave since the diane is black is hard to come by

Oh no I'm sorry you have to deal with that! It doesn't look normal to me - I would expect a new button to look flawless and not have dots - that said, I would definitely get a new one.

good luck!!

I just purchased a Neverfull from the Spring in the City collection (Sunset Kaki). I noticed that some of the logos are not aligned on the side. Additionally, part of the trim is not even. Is this considered normal/typical?

Hi TPF! I got a Vavin Black Empriente WOC a few months back and have only used it a couple of times. Otherwise it is stored chain inside the bag, in its dustbag in the box in my closet. I just pulled it out to bring on vacation and noticed a couple of lighter patches on the leather. It doesn't seem cracked, but it is noticeably lighter in these areas.

I've already texted my SA for assistance and am awaiting her response, but was wondering if anyone here has experienced anything similar? Could the leather be dry? I am weary of using any conditioner or anything without having it examined first.

Thanks very much!

Might be dry or might be some salt. A quick wipe with a everything-free baby wipe would be worth it. But I am also curious what Vuitton says.

im not an expert, but could it be mold?
I've been told by multiple SA not to keep the bags in the box as it traps humidity. (and personal experience of mold)
dustbag is ok but don't fold the flap, to keep it ventilated

otherwise, it's such a beautiful bag!
