I just got my new mono back last week. About 5 inches of mine was messed up so my SA said she was sending it back! Looks perfect now. I think yours looks fine. The end of it where it overlaps is a little tricky. Enjoy it!
 
I recently purchased the One Handle and only noticed that the strap and the front of the bag looks a little misaligned (rings do not cut off symmetrically)
I really love this bag and it is very rare which I don't know if I am able to do an exchange.
Honestly do you think it looks off? Am I being too picky? Or do you think I should return it?

Thank you all in advance!

not as bad, you should see a couple of bags I have, seriously would think they were knock offs! recently I saw a youtube 's speedy 40 b, alignments of prints on the sides really bad and obvious. Nowadays I saw more well made fakes than authentic LVs, ha ha.
 
If it is going to bother you, then I would see if you could exchange. I feel that you won't carry it (or be happy with it) if the misalignment bothers you. I personally do not think it looks that bad, but I didn't invest the money into purchasing it. Good luck!

Fabuleux is correct. I am in a similar situation and even though I solicited advice and got great ones, I still cannot find it in myself to like my newly purchased bag because I just can't get over what bothers me so it's sitting unused waiting to be returned. I can't look at it anymore honestly as I am disappointed because I love the bag.
I think I need to be totally happy with my purchase so I'm going to return it in hopes of finding one that checks all the boxes for me. If I can't find a replacement then I know it's not meant to be. If it bothers you, return it.
 
I have this bag and my grommets a bit higher on the pattern and so so slightly off on the pattern. I didn't even notice until I checked today for this post. I love this bag and it's so unique.
 
Hey ladies, I just purchased a keepall bandouliere 45 today and noticed wrinkles once I got home. Is this normal or a flaw? The wrinkles are on both sides of the bag. This was my first keepall purchase and I plan to use it very soon, so hoping it’s normal.

This is very obviously a brand new bag, I have bags that look like this that are considerably older just with Patina, It depends on what you are comfortable accepting - it seems like it is something that would naturally happen on the curve. Can anyone else with this bag maybe chime in?

Thanks for responding. I know eventually older bags become wrinkled but I wasn't too sure if that was the case for brand new bags. I would only be comfortable accepting it if this is normal, but if it's not normal, I'd probably become a bit peeved.
