I definitely agree that the creases will go away with use. My Speedy 30 had some creases when I got it due to being folded up in its box. I think the creases were 100% gone after using it for about a week. I wouldn’t worry about it . . . just enjoy your bag! :smile:

wow thank you for telling me!!! I thought it was leather, no wonder it felt different. It’s my first monogram so I am new at this.


Thanks everyone for your input!!! You guys made me feel so much better. I was so sad pulling it out of the box thinking this was an issue.
Warmth will probably help it smooth out. If you are new to monogram, are you also new to vachetta?(the handles and straps of this bag are vachetta leather). The new pale vachetta is very susceptible to stains or marks from everything. The vachetta is a lot more easy-care once it ages or starts to patina and turn more golden. Some info here:

Yes I’m new to patina. My mom owns LV so I’ve seen the patina but she doesn’t really care for her bags carefully and I’m terrified of it darkening (I enjoy the original shade!). My goal is an even honey patina. Thank you for the link. I bookmarked it

This is a giant zippy. Bought about a year ago, hardly used. The perimeter looks like it's splitting. Seems cheaply made for not a cheap wallet. Opinions?

Hi there!
I don’t think you are being too picky, at that price it’s an understandable concern. If you are willing to wait for the store to re-open, there is a good chance you can find one without hairline scratches. However, this may be time consuming. I don’t recall any hairline scratches being present at the time of purchase. This is very common and will occur at some point. This happened with my LV and Chanel wallet. Congrats on your beautiful gift :smile:.
Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm thinking the same too that this will eventually happen after using it. If I wanted to change in shop will have to wait till 1st June. And if I asked for an exchange via mail I'm afraid I will end up receiving a worse one. Hmm still thinking. Anyway appreciate your feedback and hope you having a good weekend!
 
Hello,
I'm new here and hoping if someone can help me. I received a new empreinte Victorine wallet last week. The wallet seems perfect except for the brass button. It has some hairline scratches or marks and do not appear smooth. I wonder if this is normal for a new piece and if anyone has any experience with this? Am I being too picky? Thanks in advance.

My Zoe came with a button like that.

It's fine. Would you see them without optical zoom?
