Oh goodness... I ordered a monoglam side trunk and I'm not sure if the corners should be bent like this? Not sure if I am being picky but it's all I can see and at this price point... :-s

It's purposeful. When I purchased my mono, I picked one that wasn't as angled but my CA said it's purposeful like the trunks to get them bolted in or something like that.

My friend bought a soft trunk a few weeks ago. She noticed the part where the flap goes over is wearing already-like the black is coming off and showing white underneath. Anyone else have this issue? Will they return it since she's used it? For $4500 they should take it back I would think!!

It looks like something rubbed on it or something was wiped across it that removed part of the dye.

Hi, so I just received my alma bb in de MIU today and I think it's defective. I can't help but notice the flaws. Especially The bottom base of the bag. It's not aligned properly. Looks crooked? Not straight? When I place it on the table I notice all 3 of the feet touched the surface except on the right side of the feet. It doesn't touch at all. The stitching on the back I can see a little bit of the red thread from the inside of the bag. I figure that's the part where they close off the stitching so it's like double stitched not sure if that was normal? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But I know for sure the bottom of the based is crooked misaligned? Is this normal? has anyone had this issue with the alma bb before? Should I exchange it ?

The alignment along the top looks great, but it’s off on the bottom. Some LVs are higher than others, if you will. The center ones are closer to the edge, while the corner ones are farther. And the one is farther than the other, so not even the same amount. I don’t think it’s stitched straight across. That kind of of alignment bothers me more along the top since I find it more noticeable, but at this price point I would exchange since my eye would always be drawn to it once I noticed it.

FWIW, my NFs do sag a bit like this.
