Yes, that's normal. It is most likely the final stitching before they cut the thread. I have it in my nano speedy and nano noe. :smile: I would not worry about it.

It is normal and also necessary, so the bottom doens’t fall apart. All Alma bottoms are like that. This shows here a little more because of the contrast.
This colour is so beautiful
Thank you! What a relief

Hello LV lovers - I'd love your help. I purchased the Alma BB Epi from the LV site. At first, I was pleasantly surprised as it's MIF and I couldn't spot any obvious defects.

But then I noticed there is a sizable air gap/bubble on the bottom between the inside lining and outer Epi leather. Is the lining supposed to be attached flat/flush to the bottom? It's totally flush and smooth on the sides.

On my bag, there is a gap of about .5 inch all throughout the bottom of the bag and I have to push kind of hard with one hand on the inside and the other hand from outside the bag to get the two materials to meet/be flush. I wondered it I was being overly picky and asked DH. He also said there seemed to be 1/2 inch gap between the lining and the outer leather.

Is this a defect that shrinks the interior space of the small bag even more? What do you think? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Is this normal? On the stitching inside of the bag, there seems to be excess or "loose" stitching around the part where it's double stitched.

This is a keeppall bag by the way:

It must be a very tiny little Keepall :)
On the serious note, probably the bag won't fall apart because of it, but still, if pulled on by the contents of the bag, what if it the seam will be deformed? Or if you just cut it away, then it might come out the other side... I'm not super familiar with machine stitching, only hand stitching, but this is the kind of uncertainty that should not be there for 1600+ euros. If it can be just cut away, let the Vuitton atelier do it, so it will be their responsibility.
