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

I got the black leather one n experienced the same bent corners. Some are better than others but I think due to the soft fabric and leather…every piece will be some what slanted. Did you try and get an exchange? Perhaps there’s a better one, but dont expect to find a perfect one. Sigh… the CA told me if I can’t deal with that, I should get something else.

I exchanged it for the black leather one and the corners were set so much better! I think with the monoglam piece the contrast between the light fabric and dark trim made it look much worse.

I’m very happy with the black leather!

I recently purchased the One Handle and only noticed that the strap and the front of the bag looks a little misaligned (rings do not cut off symmetrically)
I really love this bag and it is very rare which I don't know if I am able to do an exchange.
Honestly do you think it looks off? Am I being too picky? Or do you think I should return it?

Thank you all in advance!
I think it's the "new normal" for LV. Once upon a time, they matched everything perfectly, but recently I've noticed many more mismatched patterns & wonky hardware. I mentioned it to my CA and was advised that most bags they receive now have minor issues, but they can only send back the really bad ones. For me, it's not acceptable for the prices they charge.
 
I bought a speedy 20 last week and only wore it twice to work, which was a 20 minutes walk each time. However, I noticed 2 leather trims already became “flaky” - is this normal wear and tear? I know vachetta is delicate but still surprised to see that this soon and worried if it will peel off shortly when I continue to use this bag?

I don’t really see flakiness, maybe it’s my eyes lol. It looks normal to me but maybe someone else sees what you’re talking about

The only thing I see are the depressions from the natural pores in the leather.
