Hi I’m new here and new to the LV community. I bought my first LV and it’s the Nano Speedy. I was thrilled to be able to get it after weeks of stalking the website. But I noticed a flaw, a white scuff or mark on the bottom left of the bag. Anyone familiar with this?

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?!

I was like BooYah and didn't notice anything to begin with. But I think it's because of the angle your picture was taken. I see it and I would def exchange/return it no doubt.
Edit: I added a red ring around the scuff I believe you're referring to?

Thanks for reposting this here so we can keep all the "is this normal" posts in one place.

now that you've circled it, it is more clear what you are asking. Is a damp cloth also not able to remove? If it won't come off I would definitely contact LV and initiate a return. That's not normal for a new bag - it looks like someone spilled alcohol on it or something. That would also probably mean you'll have to stalk it again...

I tried a 99% water baby wipe but it didn’t work. Which is why I think it may be a scuff. I worked so hard to get it the first time makes me upset that I might have to stalk it again. But if I am paying so much for it I should get better quality.

I noticed it and I cringed and I'm not picky. It might have been a return. I would send it back.

If these spots are not due to a protective covering-i would return it.

-Edit: PM Monogram is kept. PM Reverse might be for the future-

I am lucky enough to have stalked down and ordered the Pochette Metis in both monogram and reverse monogram, and have to decide between them.

I want to love (I.e. I don't _love_ it) and keep the reverse monogram, but what I think is holding me back is that I feel the flap is crooked to the lock (pattern off to the left compared to the lower part of the bag?). The flap has to be pulled quite much, even when the bag is empty, to reach the lock and close it - maybe this will be easier with use if the bag softens up?

Please look at my pictures and tell me what you guys think!

I added pictures on the regular monogram too. Will the thing on the handle be a problem with use? I'm going to send pictures to CS just in case for the future.

I just checked mine which arrived a few days ago. The pattern is almost perfect and the flap is exactly above the lock, when it’s opened.

When you like the reverse more I wouldn’t choose the mono, it won’t make you happy.

Maybe you try to catch another reverse if it bothers you[emoji85] where is the reverse made? France or Italy?

It's made in Italy. I actually really like the regular mono too, hah. Looks good for different occasions. I just decided to keep that one (got the mono before the price increase too), so if I really like the model I might try to get the reverse later on ^^

I finally got my hands on one but it came unstuffed (despite me asking the SA to stuff it) and creased. I tried putting a shirt inside to help but the creases stay. Any recommendations on fixing this or should I just return?

even a shirt inside or an organizer showed the crease. It’s on both sides

I had purchased mine in the middle of March and mine didn’t come stuffed either. It was packaged in a small box folded like yours but as I stuffed it and started using it, the creases came out! Congrats on the unicorn bag you’ll love her

Oh Lou! I know this is your unicorn as I have watched you stalk and stalk for this baby but as soon as I saw the photo I was like “NO!”

There’s no guarantee that the flap will realign with use and frankly for the money (and price increase) it needs to be perfect. There are perfect ones out there!

I would return if you're not happy. The flap/lock issue will always bother you.
