About the box, this is my second luxury bag and I didn't buy this for the past 7-8 years. So I expected to much, maybe?

I will keep the bag though. Thank you for your reply
Don’t let the box spoil it for you... I just recycle them now as soon as I’ve finished unpacking the bag. It may seem important and I can understand it adds to the experience but you probably won’t remember the box in a few months.

I understand your frustration but it’s definitely better to have a larger box than a smaller one.
When I bought my Keepall in Italy, they at first gave it to me in a shopping bag without a box! Just the dust bag! And they also didn’t give me a dust bag for the shoulder strap.

I asked them to go box it up and to give me a dust bag for the strap, and you should have seen the box they came out with. Keep in mind this was a Keepall 55, and the box they brought it out in was probably made for a Neverfull MM if that. My Keepall was shoved into the box and had so many creases; luckily the bag ended up being okay, but it was still annoying.
 
Mine is MNG and that happened to mine after 2 months too..and it came with more issues,...
is it normal for a new bag ? well depends on how you use it, but since you are being careful, I would say not normal.
is it normal for a palm spring mini ? YES where do I begin LOL this bag is really problemtic, even the new design didn't stop the cracking issue around the zipper.
LV can definitely replace those leather tabs for free, but it takes time. and I don't know how difficult to get a reverse PSM in your country and whats the buyer protection law there, so not sure if you could get an replacement for that. but 100% sure that you can get the leather tabs replaced for free. Take it to your boutique and ask! best of luck!

Thank you for replying! I've read a lot about people having issues with the bag but I didn't think it would happen so soon :( How is your bag holding up right now? I am going to check with my boutique here in Canada and see what they can do.

Hi everyone,
I finally was able to get my hands on a Pochette Métis. I ordered it online, made in the USA. After reading so many horror stories, I’m on the lookout for anything! Just wondering if anyone thinks the monogram print looks faded and not as dark/bold. I attached photos, the LV print looks faded in the corners and not as dark as my other mono bags. Not sure if I’m just going crazy. Please advise! Thank you.

If you actively look for problems, you will find them. I don't see anything wrong, please just enjoy your bag.

I know this bag has a bit of a bad rap when it comes to quality but your PM looks great. Enjoy!

Okay so this is my preloved pochette metis in the reverse monogram. There are 2 cracks in the canvas, the bag is from december 2016 and I have had the bag since 1,5 years. I have barely used it because I paid way over retail price for it. Now I want to sell it but I just saw these 2 cracks.. Can I take it to LV for this, being 3,5 years old? I do have the original receipt but it is not on my name, is that a problem? Thanks a lot!!

I'm not sure LV will do anything for the canvas cracking...perhaps if you've had the bag for 1 year they might have offered a replacement. But you can always bring the receipt in and ask if there's anything they can do.

I just received my Coffret Tresor 24. It was placed in an LV box and then another shipping box with no tissue or padding, just left to bang around in transit. Does that seem right?
Also, are these spots normal on the hardware?
Some of the protective stickers are missing too.

The spots should rub out. Try a soft cloth. But, I’d be concerned about lack of protective stickers. The shipping looks like a lazy person packed it, but maybe they were in a hurry!
 
Are you sure there isn't a protective covering on it, kinda looks like there may be with the spots. They almost look like little bubbles. If there isn't, I'd try buffing it out with a soft cloth.
 
I just received my Nano Speedy after stalking it for so long on the website. I was so thrilled to have been able to purchase this bag until i saw this white marking on the canvas. Anyone know or is familiar with what it is. I cant wipe it off. It almost looks like it's scuffed but this bag is supposed to be brand new. The marking is on the bottom left of the bag. Please let me know what you guys think?!

pardon, but I can hardly see the scuff that you’re referring to. Your Nano looks fine to me.
