I totally get it- if you're spending hundreds of dollars on a wallet, it should be perfect. otherwise, what's the justification of spending so much money. you are supposed to be buying quality. I see the imperfections you are describing, and I personally would not be satisfied with spending that much on a wallet with these minor imperfections.

Thank you so much for your replies and photos, I see that i'm not the only one, I know that scratches and tarnishing will happen though I secretly wish it could happen with use overtime and not brand new. It was purchased in store by my partner so I wasn't there or else I probably would have asked for another to compare as well. If the wallet were being stacked on top of each other might have contributed to the scratching too. At the end of the day, it is a beautiful wallet
. I love the color of your wallet, I would stare at it non stop if I were you 
.Looks totally fine to me. It looks perfect!
Thank you all for your replies. I personally have never owned or looked at a brand new LV of any sort up closed before, so I guess I had an image of what I thought it would be like in my head, so your opinions are much appreciated
. Though I do hope to own a few more LV items in the future
.That's how I felt and for it to be my 1st, I had this image of it being perfect in my head. I think I expected the craftsmanship to reflect in the price. I will look at other options whilst I can
.My partner purchased it from an LV store but I wasn't there with him.
I will definitely look into that in the next few days and widen my options.
* Again, thank you all for your replies. I appreciate them
As I am a perfectionist, it would have bothered me. I would constantly take it out and look at these imperfections. However, as much as being a perfectionist, I am also a realist and understand that nothing can be absolutely perfect. So I learned over the years to be more realistic and look over small imperfections.
So, long story short, it would bother me a bit, but I'll not return and start enjoying the new wallet.

I can understand what you mean. When I bought my first LV piece I would scrutinize every little detail and flaw on it. But now I’m not so bothered by them. To me it’s still beautiful either way.
Hi!
Calling all PM owners to share their experience. I got mine less than 8 months ago and slowly I’ve started to see these tiny white specs along the edge. Eventually it kind of expanded so today I brought it in the boutique to share the Client Advisor and was told it’s normal, the paint is simply chipping off from wear and tear. If I’d like she can have it sent off to be repainted with a fee. Just wondering if this was normal? If it’s normal, does it get worse overtime?
TIA
