I ordered a 4-key holder from LV on their website. It arrived today, I'm assuming from a boutique in NJ and not the warehouse. It had an alcoholic-sanitizer-like scent (I know they won't use alcohol to clean products) but it may be part of their new sanitary measures. The metal snap button on the front had some scratches on it, but otherwise the material is good and its also good on the inside. I'm contemplating if I should return it or is it normal to get a new item with some scratches like this on the metal hardware? It's not visible from a distance, and I'd probably cause my own with some wear and tear (but I prefer to do it myself than receive it like that). Any info on others experiences for key holders or even other items with metal hardware will be helpful.

Hi I’ve just received this direct from LV. I’ve waited a while to get it and I know it’s a hard to get bag. But...there’s issues with the bag and I wanted to know if anyone in this forum would accept them or return.
Firstly the clasp is slightly off which makes the flap run down on the left side. Also the glazing is not good.

These bags are 99% plastic, but at least they can air out easily most of the times.
Is it like the off-gassing that can happen when plastic wrapped mattresses and furniture are unwrapped? That smell tends to go away after some fresh air and is definitely a chemical smell.
If it’s more an organic smell, like body odour or food products etc, then I would wonder if it was a return.

Mine looks like that too. I think you can change the position of the flap? I can make mine look off center as well by pulling down one side, but I can also adjust this? I think it comes from the bag closing on just one point,
Also the glazing looks normal to me? So I would keep it, but of course if it bothers you, you should return it. Succes deciding!

I have a new key pouch that was a gift. I didn't notice it at first, but it smells like dirty socks inside! I've been doing everything I can to remove the smell, but it still kind of lingers.
I do admit when I picked up my ZCP last week, the inside did not smell nice. I inserted a sample perfume card in the wallet when I got home, and that helped. My Speedy 25b DE smelled fine and the leather parts smelled like...leather.
Hi everyone! i just want to hear you opinion about this. I just got it today and im so happy to finally have it. Im just curious if this hole will bother you? Do you think it will get worst? I have the PA in mono from 2012 and its perfect. I feel like it wont really bother me but i want to know others opinion about it. if it will get worst or not. Thank you.
Yes?
From my experience, new LV bags have a "chemical" smell. It's the canvas coating. Even 1-2 years later, some of my bags still have a faint smell.
If you're concerned about authenticity, the best thing to do is not use personal shoppers, especially if you aren't familiar with the brand. LV has a chemical smell, but that doesn't mean any kind of chemical smell is "right."
