"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

[bigverne28]

I just recently bought a PM reverse online (impulse purchase). I was hoping that it would not be made in US but no biggie. I have LV products that are made in US with no issues. Quite frankly I don’t check items ever...no matter if it is LV, Gucci or hermes. I know that PM is notoriously famous for its inconsistent quality so I’m asking all you ladies with keen eyes to can identify issues. Small issues I can look over but more like alignment or crooked stitching. The pattern on the strap is definitely crooked which I don’t mind so so much. I’m wondering if the bag has any issues. TIA

If you’ve inspected the bag and it looks good, I wouldn’t worry about trying to find issues with it. It’s a lovely bag and so enjoy it.

Hi everyone! I need help!

I received the multi pochette yesterday (made in US) and noticed that the smaller pochette came creased/wrinkled like this without anything inside. When I put my items inside it doesn’t pop out. I know the canvas is pretty thin but is this normal?

Thanks in advanced for your advice!View attachment 4754637

Is it puckered from a stitching fault or just squashed?

return!

The canvas is quite thin on this bag and so I bought inserts for mine which gives the bag more structure. Give it a few days of wear and if the dent doesn’t go I would return!

if you wear it you can't return

Try to stuff some things like tissue papers or a rolled t-shirt inside and leave it for a few days, see if that gets better. If that's only normal wrinkles like those folded Speedy or neverfull, it will go away eventually.

Stuff it and let it sit for a few days before jumping to return it.

I got one that smelled like chemicals so I sent it back, but on the new one, it’s hard to open the zipper. Anyone else have that issue?

Yes. Get a candle and carefully rub wax on the zipper. It will become smooth.

It's normal, each canvas piece can vary in texture, I've noticed the print is definitely lighter in the newer canvas pieces too. Odd it's a lemon smell but I've smelled terrible chemical smell on a 4 key holder. It does go away after a while

Hey everyone! Wondering if the three big/sharp creases on each panel of the keepall 55 near the bottom would be a dealbreaker for anyone. Anything I can do to get rid of them?

Just use it and it will go away. All speedy and keepall are like that due to how they store them. Enjoy your new purchase.

Use it or just pad out and the creases will go. This has worked for me on my bags where the canvas is creased.

You can also use wax paper to rub on the teeth- this is a little less messy than wax (or a bar of soap). This is not uncommon with a new item. I often have to do this so I keep the wax paper handy. Plus, it is easy for maintaining a smooth glide with use.

Hi ladies! I bought a mono key pouch yesterday and I just received it today. I am thinking I might have gotten a return. When I took it out of the dust bag, it smelled like someone had wiped it with a lemon scented disinfectant wipe. It smells like lemons on the outside and inside The canvas also does not feel as "smooth" as my Victorine wallet. This is probably due to the wipe. I also noticed that the canvas on my key pouch looks lighter than my Victorine wallet. I will post a picture of what they both look like for comparison. Could someone please tell me if the key pouch is normal? I would really appreciate it!

It should not smell like lemons- I would be uncomfortable keeping this with the worry someone used a product on it they should not have. Just return it.
