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

Just got this Gallieras PM in. I'm not familiar with the bag and this my first time experiencing the bag. Condition was listed as very good. The interior is perfect with no staining. Are these rubs on the trim normal wear? Should I consider sending it back and waiting for a bag in better condition? TIA.

in my opinion, this bag is in very good used condition (P.S I'm not the seller)

Is it worth keeping or should I send back? Are gallieras usually in this condition or better condition? New to this bag.

Depends on what you paid for it and if you are happy with it. I don't see the wear as major *shrug*

Honestly, with tax abt $1,120 usd. I'm sort of peculiar about vachetta. Might do me well to consider a bag with less vachetta on it.

It’s normal wear and tear for vachetta. I’ve seen worse for the galleria so this isn’t bad. You have to decide if it will bother you and you won’t use it. Its hard to find gallerias in nice condition.

I've got some considering to do. For the price paid, the wear on the vachetta does bother me. Also, there is a crease that goes across the front of the bag...(pic attached). Not sure if that would straighten out in time. I'm feeling for the price, I could find something better.

The crease would bother me more than the vachetta if it was me. I don’t think the vachetta looks bad but now that you mentioned the crease it’s a focal point for me. I don’t know if it would come out if you tried stuffing it…Sounds like you want to return it…

The crease will disappear quickly with use.
The VVN looks used, but most bags I've seen from this era look way worse. Seen a very few exceptionally great condition ones, but those finds have like lottery winning chances. Very few people bought these and left it in the closet for a decade after taking them out once or twice. If I were you, I'd keep it, it still looks amazing, but I also agree with @LVlvoe_bug, it does sounds like that you already know that this bag is not the one for you.

A broken thread on my 2 month old strap. LV offered a reparation. Hope this is just a one-off issue.
Bag is made in France for info.

Help a LV newbie out!! I'm not too familiar with vachetta straps.

As per my previous post with the broken thread on the loop part of the shoulder strap, LV has repaired it.

Upon inspection of the reparation, I noticed the threads were tied into a knot to secure in place.
I'm not sure how a normal one would look like, I would imagine the threads to be secured by heat/melting.

Can someone please tell me if this is normal and is similar with your shoulder strap "loop" (that holds the free end of the strap down)?
Thanks in advance

I bought a pre-loved Totally MM from TRR. I have not received it, but I looked at the pictures again and I feel there potential cracking on the top handle.
Will these crack? It is from 2014.

Just bought a preloved Totally MM. Had a good look at the corners and noticed this. Also, noticed I can't find the date stamp on the bag either. Does this corner look like it's beginning to peel or maybe repaired in some way?

There is already a thread for asking these questions, perhaps a mod can move?

Could you tell me where the thread is for future questions, posts, etc? Would like to post in the correct thread.
