Honestly, I would keep the bag. The dents are minor and may go away over time. I think the way it was packaged tightly is what caused the dents. Also, the fact that it was MIF is an extra plus!
"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

You cannot be pulled out of this thread. You have been double stitched and back stitched in this thread.Somebody please pull me out of this thread.
Thank you.
Thanks, I click again, it says place in cart, so I purchase another one and will return this one.
I have a Lockme Ever BB that I got back in December. I haven't used and I had stored in the cloth bag that it came with. I took it out today and found that there's a spot that looks like it's peeling or losing color around the grain?? Also the underside of the handle looks like it's not completely glazed together? It looks like it's starting to separate. Are these normal?

I didn’t really notice this until someone pointed it out, but I was wondering if the alignment on this is normal? Or if I should exchange it for another that might have more centred alignment. Is it petty to do so? Or is it warranted if it’s off by a few mm?

As an avid Keepall 45 fan, I would say that it is too much and would exchange it. I don't know how old it is, since it is already hot stamped.
Hello,
I purchased the reverse pochette metis after getting help on the stalking thread - it’s now arrived and I’m thinking this black tab on the front looks crooked
is it just me?
I’ve taken in natural light just now and also when I opened it last night

I'm not an expert, so please take this with a grain of salt.
I think it may be one of 2 things:
I. It could be some sort of mold, or
2. It could be that the leather is spewing, or leather fatty acids coming out of the leather.
I have a Mylockme in noir and this appeared on my bag too. At first I thought there was something wrong.
I found out that it's leather that is sweating fatty acids, which is called leather spew.
Basically, you can buy leather spew cleaner, or simply use a hot hair dryer to melt the spew to be reabsorbed back into the leather.
I know this sounds scary, but I have also used this method to take out small leather wrinkles and dents with my other leather bags. I have even ironed leather safely.(I make my own leather products).
If you are worried about damaging it, you can take it to LV or a reputable local cobbler and find out what is going on.
My SA shipped it to me, and I received it yesterday. Does LV actually allow exchanges for items that have been hot stamped? Since the site says they don’t.
Personalized items are final sale. But here not the actual item is hot stamped, but the tag. So if your SA is nice, he can make an exception for the price of a new tag. Or if he is very nice, they can exchange the whole thing for free. Since you couldn't inspect it before they did the hot stamp, I believe that this would be the most reasonable. And you can use this tag on the new bag and they can keep the tag that comes with it.
It looks pretty good to me. The alignment of the mono pattern looks pretty good compared to others I have seen. If you fill the bag, the front tab stays better aligned than on empty. Congrats.
I contacted my SA, and she said I can come exchange it when she has one in store! I’m glad someone caught this for me before I ended up keeping it.
Anyone having issue with neo noe? This bag was bought in the beginning of the year and the glazing is peeling and the inner zipper pocket on the under side started to fray. Also there discoloration on the snap button of the strap. Only used the bag for maximum 4 months.
