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

Yes, it is very weird. The chain could have been an explanation. But even a very large black wallet would not be able to stain the side corners that strongly. It's a mystery.

Hi
Do you think it’s worth taking in to LV store ( the closest to me is far away) , and would they clean in for free?
I think the staining is from the bag itself, as the crease and stained line is exactly in the spot in closes

On the contrary. They are very sensitive about this, they can even refuse to take in bags for repair that are dirty. And they might consider this just that. They don't offer any cleaning services. If it didn't have the little leather tab inside, I'd recommend you to just put it in the washing machine.

Thanks so much for your advice.
Tbh I feel like it is the bag itself as I am very careful and inside is immaculate.
The photo might have given the wrong idea but there is a line ( black) going across which is exactly where the bag creases.
Feel kind a sad that this has happened to my bag

I know and totally understand, and I believe you, but it is more likely that they will assume that it is dirt from the outside world caused by wear. If you'd have a regular SA who knows you for years and knows well how much you take care of your bags, then it might worth a try, but even then, they won't clean it, but disassemble it to check the underside of the Damier canvas. Which is literally black plastic and could have leaked black under certain conditions. If you'd bring it to an official independent quality inspector, they'd also need to do the same, which means practically ruining the bag to be able to access that part. That might give a legal base for fighting LV for a replacement piece, but they wouldn't be happy about escalating it to that level. I don't know, tough case.

Hi, this is inside my bag, is this normal?
It’s like dark staining- the bag is used many times

View attachment 5599586

I normally see this kind of stain from hardware oxidising. But as this part under the flap does not have hardware, maybe it was from the edges that accumulated dirt over time (when not regularly wiped down) then it rubs on the fabric when you are using it.

It happened recently to my graceful interior, same black line dirt. I used saddle soap and the line is almost all gone now, just a few stubborn faint ones that I will do round 2 of cleaning soon!

Thanks for taking your time to respond!
I will try to see if I can clean it.

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:

Maybe it is where the thread it cut? If the stiching seems otherwise fine I would not be worried, just leave it or cut away the excess. My speedys interior pocket looks the same, there is loose thread where the sewing ends with double stiches.

I bought my first empreinte leather bag and am wondering if the creasing on the front flap of my Madeleine is normal. The leather feels thinner where it is creased. Should I exchange it for another one?

I’ve never had this leather but seems like it shouldn’t be creased like that already. Maybe I’m being picky, but when you pay for a luxury bag you just want it to be right.

Please let me know if this is normal.

Thanks

It looks like a crease. It‘s normal for leather to have variations. If it bothers you then exchange. I got a Empreinte multi pochette with a big crease in it, it bothered me so I exchanged for a perfect one. So don’t hesitate if you feel like you need to

Thanks. I’m just not sure if it’s how the leather gets. Wondering if I get another if it will just happen again after wearing it.

i just had my trio messenger replaced as some stitching on the large bag broke before the 30 day mark. the outer pouch in the replacement seems to bulge/have extra canvas, which makes the bag bend in the corner and the canvas on the back/black side crease. the SA i sent pics to said this was normal and it would even out in time, but i don’t remember this being the case on the original bag i bought and the imperfection is bugging me a bit. is this really nothing to worry about, or should i press him for another exchange? there aren’t any of the same bag in the store, so he would have to place an exchange order again.

Hello everyone! I just got my first neverfull MM bag and I noticed a few spots where I can see the stitching. Are those normal or should I return it? Thanks in advance

To me I think that is normal because the thread is just too tight. If it bother you, you should ask to see another bag to compare. Let's wait to see what others think.

 

[Anne2002]

Thank you so much for your advice it doesn’t bother me at all I just want to make sure everything’s okay with the bag because I’m still a student and it’s a lot of money for me
