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.

This needs to go back. My gut says they will replace the whole bag, but that is variable from store to store. It would be very difficult for them to argue with that much damage in four months though. Wow.

Thank you, just contacted LV CS, and waiting for their reply. My Local store is still closed, so I think I should ship it for repair.

Monogram eclipse coin purse, bought in 2019, used 3-4 times on trips. Does anyone know what the white fabric/fiber-like things coming out of the top of the leather gusset are?

Hi all!

So this is my third PSM that I’ve ordered online. The other two had major stitching issues and scratched hardware. But this one seems fine except for one possible flaw? On the back where the canvas meets the side the stitching seems to have created a significant dip that doesn’t match the other side. Is this normal? I really love this bag and want to add it to my collection. And also, stalking on the website has been annoying since my LV store has closed back up due to the protesting.

Should I exchange for another one or keep? Thanks in advance!

Be careful how many times you return or exchange, especially the same item, you may not be lucky to get another.I don't see this as an issue, the canvas is very soft and it's not a structured bag.

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?

All canvas bags will vary, the middle motifs look centered, if they moved the canvas to have to 2 lvs more even the middle part won't be in the center anymore, don't know why someone would point that out to worry you

Hey all, I just got this in the mail. Does this look normal? Thanks!

I’m kinda inclined to keep this one. I’m just wondering if other people have Métis with the bottom canvas not aligning. One side is perfect the other side is meh.

 

[Firstfullsteps]

Thanks everybody for your input! I’m just so disappointed since it was such a hard bag to get. I had to stalk the website for weeks.

Hopefully I will hear back from my SA soon to see if I am able to get my hands on a better one and exchange this one.

i had some issues with my PSM when i got it too.. so I'm not surprised that this is the kind of quality we are getting nowadays. i managed to exchange for one without problems - i hope you get one too!

That's a bit of a weird dent, I would exchange it.

Hello I am new to this forum and the luxury handbag world and hope I am doing things correctly! I recently acquired a Pochette Metis in empreinte leather and was wondering if the way my bag looked was normal, particularly:

1) The D rings not matching- is anyone else's like mine?
2) The inside label is kinda crooked. Is it normal?
3) Is the alignment on the front okay?
4) The back zipper looks a bit scratched

Just curious what frequent LV customers think! You guys know better than me what LV standards are (what's normal vs. what's subpar for LV).

Thanks for your help and I pray I'm posting correctly! It's my first time!

Hello! I am new to the luxury handbag world and I recently acquired a Pochette Metis in empreinte leather. I love how elegant and versatile the bag is! However, I was wondering if the way my bag looked was normal/typical for LV standards, particularly:

1) The D rings not matching- is anyone else's like mine?
2) The inside label is kinda crooked. Is it normal?
3) Is the alignment on the front okay?
4) The back zipper looks a bit scratched

Just curious what frequent LV customers think! You guys know better than me what LV standards are (what's normal vs. what's subpar for LV). I love the bag, just curious what your opinion is on these things! This is my first high end bag! I just don't want flaws to make it look like it's a fake when it's authentic (purchased at boutique in Bloomingdales), then again it seems like lots of authentic LV bags have issues/defects lol. I'm new to all this, lol. Mine was made 3rd week of 2020 according to the date code.

Thanks for your help!!!

I don’t think it makes it look fake... My multi pochette accessories has a an imperfection in stitching of tag. You could return it if it bothers you that much.

 

[Bubbaandbailey]

I think for as much money as we pay for LV you should think it is perfect. If you aren't happy return it. When I order I look it over like a hawk. I have read many stories of quality control issues. I bet your next one will be perfect. Good Luck!!!

Thanks for sharing a pic! I've decided I'm going to keep the bag! Just curious if what I was seeing was typical with the norm! The D rings not matching is kind of weird, but I suppose if it really drives me nuts down the line I can pay to have the hardware replaced or get a new strap once the one I have now starts to wear. For now I'm just going to enjoy!
