I’ve had this for 3 or 4 days. I don’t have an LV store near me. So I’d have to mail it back. I didn’t notice it until last night. It’s been setting out trying to get tanned. The handle isn’t straight like the other. I think it’s something maybe I’d only notice because I’m picky but what everyone’s thoughts. I think I should have bought prepped because the quality isn’t what it was. So I I’m torn if I should just keep it cause maybe it’s not a huge deal or send it back which I hate returning anything ugh. Oh only the handle goes a little sideways. Tabs are straight.

sorry for grammar errors I’m posting from phone5E0E5E58-B9BD-4ED0-A0AB-E08BF806AB14.jpeg96C13971-9C41-4514-A6F5-486B34832E40.jpegABAA2B3F-575D-44A4-B70F-172697075309.jpeg
 
I bought the Speedy B25 a little over a month ago and noticed that there is a small hole forming on one of the chaps that connects the handle to the canvas. I do not over stuff my bags, I carry an organizer, ZCP, mini pochette and my phone along with other small items. I've emailed LV customer care but haven't heard back, so I am contemplating just taking the 1.5 hour drive to the store, but I don't want them to say its normal wear and tear, because I don't think it is. I am afraid that this hole will get larger with continued usage. Would you make the drive? I've attached pics. Thanks for your thoughts!

I see what u meant and went to check mine. It’s the same way for mine too...even on both sides of the bag. mine is a seasonal one from 3 years ago. I think they may be all like that? And only on the left side too. Weird. I never noticed it till now. Need to go check if my others are like that too.

Thanks for your reply. My others aren’t like that. Though they are older not the new style.

Hi everyone, I got my PSM just a few days ago and just noticed some “flaws”. Could anyone let me know if this is NBD or warrants bringing it back to the store?

First pic: Tiny lump near the zipper
Second pic: Indent in the mini pocket

P.S. Does anyone else find it extremely difficult to get anything in and out of the mini pocket?

Hey guys! I have bought my very first speedy three weeks ago and have not worn it yet. Today I took the padlock out of the dust bag - I have already tried the lock before and the first two days it was hanging on the bag, then I removed it and placed it back in the dust bag. When taking it out today, I noticed that it not only completely tarnished (it already started getting brown finger prints I suppose where I touched it after the first two days), but now it has completely changed its color from light gold as the zipper and the rest of the hardware to bright yellow. The color is totally different from the rest of the hardware and really pops up if worn together. I wonder - is this normal? If not, do you think LV would exchange just the lock (I do not want to return the bag)? Thanks for your help!

Unsure if you've done anything about this now, but I had the same issue and used Brasso (£2.50 in the UK in supermarkets). Cleared it out lovely!

Hello!

I recently purchased the Speedy B 25 in DE and I noticed one of the handles has creasing?!
I know the new speedy's have the "new leather" and I was wondering if this is normal for the newer models.

Should I keep it? Exchange it for a new one? or a NeoNoe?

Anything helps! Thanks in advance1

I think it’s normal as it will wrinkle on the curve of the handle...is it underneath on the handle?
