So I got a PA in monogram for Christmas and just added my wonderful new monogram strap ... today I unzipped and I noticed some fraying is the best way to describe in the cloth of the zipper at the farthest point where you zipper close. See pics. It's kind of bothering me ... is this normal or worth addressing with LV? I REALLY don't want to have to go to the store but I also feel like the quality needs to be very much up to par for the price on their things you know? It may look like I had to zoom to see but I actually could see quite well because the material looks a little lighter than the rest of the zipper.

Hi all,
I received my 1st ever brand new LV (after years of admiring all the beauties here), and as excited as it is, I'm wondering if I'm reading too much into it and nit picking. I noticed the hardware have some scratches/tarnishing to it, is this normal? I have yet to use it.
I've also noticed that there is a slight scratching on the leather as well as bubbling and inconsistency in the glazing. Though this does not bother me too much, I'm curious if it will affect the integrity of the purse?
I appreciate your thoughts on it =)
scratches on the button, slight tarnishing and scratches on the sip (though the handle itself is pristine), a dented line on the snap (ON-LO).

I just bought the exact same wallet in Scarlet. I went into the store but they did not have any available to purchase in store. They had it in Noir and i looked at those in store. I was not impressed. First for a $900 wallet they just had them thrown inside a drawer on top of each other. Honestly that really rubbed me the wrong way. If I'm spending close to $1000 on a wallet I'm expecting it to be kept neatly put away maybe even with the dust cover to protect it but that was not the case. They were mixed in with other wallets. The first one the SA showed me i noticed it had scratches on the front button. I asked to see another and the second one she showed me was better but still looked a bit tarnished and not all shiny and new how i'm expecting it to look. Since they didn't have the color i wanted i asked them to order it. I received it on Valentines day. I love it but i did notice that the front button was not the shiny gold i was expecting, its not matte but its not as shiny as the zipper pull. Also the front button has minor scratches on it. Other then that everything else looks fine. I say if it bothers you exchange it. I'm keeping mine because i'm in love with the color and the wallet itself and i know eventually the front button is going to get scratched up anyways.
I literally do not see what you think is problematic. Overthinking--put the magnifying glass away and enjoy your new item.
I looked through these pictures a couple times, I don’t see anything? Looks like a great wallet. Enjoy it, or return if it doesn’t spark joy.
