Never seen this before, has anyone else seen this before? The canvas is so worn down that the inner inner is peeking out. Is this wear and tear or a quality issue? @BULL
There were quite a few cases of theseon the forum. Mose visible on Damier since the lining colour is so striking. It is actually the result of very heavy wear, that corner was rubbed to oblivion. Not nice looking, but the bag has 10 more years of use in it, won’t fall apart from this.
 
Hi, anyone owns a speedy 20 Empreinte leather with side zipper that is “concaved” and tip of zipper does not end right at the end? I love the colour of this speedy but the side zipper and slight exposed seams bothers me a lot given the price paid so wanted to know if this is normal.

I got the reissue montsouris pm and noticed that the flap lining isn’t symmetrical, it’s shifted a bit when they stitched it

I have the monogram NF with cherry red lining and I am wondering if there the red color will show in a few years after regular use as well. I only saw it on DE….

Depends on what regular use means. In the case of the bag above, a Monogram one would look very similar after a few years. But this level of heavy corner wear is not that common even amongts the Damier owners. It takes some serious level or carefree use.

Just got this today and after taking a few pics I realized the monogram on the back of the bag is slightly crooked! Everything else is fine, just this one part. Would this bother you enough to try to go back for another?
