"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I just purchased my LV cles / key pouch today. When I got home, I noticed that there is a gap on zipper end of LV cles / key pouch. Is that normal?! I know that there is a gap on the one end to give space for the chain but I do not know on the other end. Could you please check yours? Other than that everything seems fine.

Btw, it is made in France.

I focused on checking the alignment of the damier ebene pattern when I was in the store. This is the only stock with perfect alignment


Hi all! I just made this purchase and I have the same problem. I should have looked at the item properly at the store..
Mine is MIF as well.

I don't get it though. The gap at the end of the zip (NOT the part where the chain comes out) makes it super annoying when I have to zip close because I need to hold the end down. Or else it will not zip smoothly because the cloth at the gap will flip slightly due to the pressure.

So this 0.5cm gap is normal? How big is the gap on your key cles?

the gap is normal. there needs to be enough fabric at the end for some give room for the zipper stopper. with the motion of you pulling your zipper back and forth, the zipper stopper needs to hold onto some extra fabric. also, should you ever need the stopper or zipper repaired on the class, the extra fabric allows the repair specialist to use the tools needed on such a small piece.

I've noticed that the NM (new model) has the bigger gap. I compared an old model and the NM and the new one has thinner canvas and a bigger zipper gap. This may be because the NM is a teeny bit bigger. You can't see the size difference but if you place your cards in each one, you can feel more space in the NM. They probably kept the zipper length the same, hence the bigger gap on either end.
