It is just dirty. The threads seem to hold onto the canvas as intended. But I am curious what other owners day. I guess most doesn't pull the handle down this much to check.
Hi everyone - I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. I got a PSM 2 weeks ago as an early Christmas present from my husband. We ordered it online and I inspected it when I first opened it. I LOVE the bag in terms of functionality, versatility, and am happy with it. The alignment is also good. However, while on vacation, I noticed in the car that there is a minor crack in the zipper flap that covers the front pocket. While it doesn’t necessarily bother me and isn’t noticeable, I’m concerned if it could worsen.. I do not intend on using the front pocket, so I would think not. I also haven’t used the front pocket at all since having it - just tested it once when I first got the bag. However, it’s quite irritating to spend over $2k+ on a bag and have a little crack in it, even if not noticeable. Should I exchange it? I just dread possibility going through another quality issue that could be worse or a bag that has bad alignment…
Finally. This looks so much better. Looked like a misprinted stamp. Never understood how anyone could let that design out of the studio in the first place.Does anyone own fold me pouch? I was wondering why there are 2 versions of LV metal logo on the closure tab
New (photo 1) and old (photo 2) versions maybe?

I am wondering if I should choose photo 2, because that is the “supposed” normal I see, even the official photo looks like photo 2. But photo 1 looks so much better.
Dear @BULL, which one would you choose?
You may have trouble returning it because you’ve been using it and that nick could have come from normal wear/tear
Did you get both from the same place?
I wouldn't be surprised if they had gotten a lot of feedback on the logo looking weird, and it took them this much time to adjust. It feels to be around 2-3 years since they started using this kinda hardware. If this is really the new norm, the press photos will be updated soon. But to sum it up, I wouldn't choose based on the current photo-situation, but which one looks actually nicer. And the not-spilled-over logo looks way way nicer.
Thanks. I highly doubt that though, because this is like the 5th time I took it out. I’ve been gentle with it and haven’t even used that pocket or anything. I’m not overly bothered by it and don’t want the hassle of exchanging, but I’ve never had cracked canvas with any LV bags that I own… I just don’t know if it could worsen. But again, I don’t intend on using the pocket.
Hi all,
I purchased a Saintonge of fashionphile. It’s is in really really better than the very good condition that they listed as except for two flaws. The glazing is irregular in two places. One on the front and one on the back. The back is slightly more noticeable.
It’s not sticky and doesn’t appear that it is melting or anything. It’s also not really noticeable just carrying it and the price was good enough that as long as it’s not going to be a major issue down the road I can live with it. I was hoping someone could chime in on what they think. I have tried to search for a similar issue but mostly what I find is melting or specific to certain bags and this isn’t one of those. Thanks!

Thanks!I think if you need to magnify something several times larger than its real life size in order to ask if it's a problem, then maybe it's not much of a problem, especially when you're buying used.
Thanks. You can actually see them without magnification. They just don’t jump out at you if you’re not looking.
I think it’s just part of the glazing and shouldn’t be an issue. If it bothers you then return….I had this bad and ended up selling it…
