I purchased an authentic LV at Jadore Couture. When it arrived.. I noticed the color of the canvas was more muted and less bold in color than my other LV bags. Has anyone noticed a variation in tones and vibrancy of your LV coated canvas?

Oh they can be all over the place, especially Damier Ebéne.
Yes, very common in Almas. In some cases more prominent, in some less, but kinda what comes with the construction.
Recently bought preloved this constellation Speedy 25B. I noticed some crease on few areas and leather feels very thin on those spots . Is this normal for the empreinte leather bags? Never had this leather before so I need some help if I should keep or return it.
I got this bag online when it was released and put a felt organizer inside to keep it in shape. Mine doesn‘t have any creases but from your picture I don’t think it looks too bad. The leather area between the studs on my bag feels a bit smooth but not thin. If you also put an organizer inside maybe it evens out the creases.
I’ve just acquired this preloved Slouchy and see there is some wrinkling on the strap and wondered whether this would be considered accepted wear and tear?
Since the bag is less than a year old and certainly appears in great condition everywhere else I wondered if this was something to be concerned about? I appreciate leather will wrinkle to some degree so I guess my concern is more about it potentially splitting eventually as there is quite a lot of movement on that part of the strap from picking it up and placing it down. Thanks for any advice as I’m still deciding whether to keep it or not.

This is just classic wear and it kinda looks cool on an already used bag. And since it's raw VVN, this bad boy won't split even after 30 years. This needs to get very very very dry, and even then, it would rather happen in way more bent areas, like it usually does when wrapped around rings or D-rings. This one's gonna last forever.
Even if it was a more rigid, heavily treated leather, only the wrinkling would get more pronounced, it wouldn't fall apart.
Thank you, that's good to know. It was a good price so I was hoping to keep it.
Has anyone had any experience with the monogram canvas feeling sticky / tacky to the touch?
I have a Kirigami set that I barely used, I bought it in store in 2017. I recently started using the smallest pouch and noticed the canvas started to feel sticky / tacky.
The middle pouch which has never been used has the same sticky feeling.
The largest pouch is perfectly fine.
I have many monogram items and this is the first time this has happened to one of my items 😢

My zippy coin purse is missing a lot of glazing around the edges, despite the fact that I don’t use this wallet very often. I have a lot of bags and a lot of SLG’s that I rotate through, but this piece looks like it has been used a lot, which it hasn’t.
Is this typical wear and tear for perhaps a dozen and a half uses?

My Kabuki pieces are sticky. But no idea what to do about it. I guess it might be the specific screen printing for that series. All my other limited edition pieces don‘t have that problem.
