Hi fellow TPFers! I came across this preloved Capucines PM in mint condition at a good price. However my only concern is that there seems to be slight sagging/slouch on the front and sides. The seller told me it was because the bag was not stored with stuffing, and the heavy top has caused this creasing, which should go away with regular use. Is this true? Should I be worried about it at all? The price is attractive but I do not want to compromise if this loss of structure is permanent. Appreciate some advice from experienced owners! Many thanks!!

I just checked my adjustable strap and the clips do not seem to be overly yellow to me. I bought it to use with my Croisette Chain Wallet in DA and it matches the hardware perfectly. Also, don’t notice my leather loop thing to be super loose.

However, I recently received a Palm Springs mini and the hardware on those straps were definitely more yellow than the metal strap loops on the bag. Not enough to bother me though that I would consider returning.
 
Hi everyone!

New the the forum and I'm here with my first hotstamped item, a damier ebene victorine wallet in rose ballerine. Is it normal for the hotstamps to be this off centered?! It's driving me nuts and it's non refundable!

Oof. Just received my Escale Victorine and right on the underside of the flap, there's *this*:

Is this normal/something that I can just wipe off, or is this something that merits returning (because for $800 after tax, I kind of expect perfection!).

This is not a good stamp :-(
Many people overreact or expect more than what can be done with the old-school tool Vuitton uses, but this is not a case like that. This stamp is off.

If it is just a little glue residue (that is very common) that got dirty, then it can be wiped off with a damp cloth, or an alcohol-free wipe. But if it stays on, return it.

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried a damp, slightly soapy cloth and they're still there, so I suppose back it goes. Is LV currently accepting returns in-store at this time / does one need to initiate a return online first for in-store return if they are?

This has been seen on quite a few Escale pieces, it’s easily wiped away. Nothing to worry about!

hi I just got my PSM and handle doesn’t seems like it’s in the middle of bag. When I looked everyone else’s PSM the handle is sewed on top of flowers. Otherwise everything looks perfect. Should I return and get a new one? Does this even bother you?
