Hi all, finally got my hands on my first LV bag – a Pochette Metis – but noticed this dent in the side flap. I've tried stuffing it to even it out but it hasn't helped. Not sure if this is normal or a defect and I should return it and try and get a new one? Please let me know, thanks!

One of the corners on mine looks like that as well. I might be tough to find a perfect PM given how hard they still are hard to come by!

Hi all, I got this trunk chain wallet late 2019, been using it on weekends for about 4 months and just noticed this. Is this normal for the glazing to rub off on the edges that quickly? This is happening on both ends of the bag. The bag doesn't get tossed around and is stored in the dust bag after use.

This isn’t normal right? If you notice the clasp is crooked and I have to move it slightly to close it. Also there’s two small cracks in the corner. So I bought this on the 19th, however I purchased it at bloomingdales inside Costa Mesa. I Live an hour and a half away from there so not the closest store. Am I able to exchange it in a flagship store? Also please ignore my nails. Wearing acrylics while working a manual labor job is not the buisness

Hi! I purchased a brand new pochette metis off the LV website recently as well, and my bag also came with a strange, chemical-y smell. Mine is made in the USA though. The LV box the bag came in smells even worse than the bag. I have been airing out the bag and the box for 3 days now but it still smells. Wondering if you've had any luck getting rid of your smell? If so, how long did it take?


My experience was similar to what a couple other folks have said, took about a week to get rid of the smell. FYI, I did check my date code and it was within weeks of when I received my bag, so I have a feeling that this isn't all that uncommon when items are coming straight from manufacturing. Also, since then I have not had any issues with smell - its like it didn't exist. Good luck!
 
1st online order for Speedy 30 DE & as I’m going over bag, I noticed tabs misaligned... It’s driving me nuts. Is it a pain to exchange in store?? I’m afraid it could hurt value later if I sell to upgrade. Any thoughts? CAF57602-8EB5-4AB9-AC50-61DBAC14FA86.jpeg7622426F-5E46-4C40-B53B-7DB977F55F3D.jpeg
