"Is this Normal?" Ask about LV stitching, alignment, etc. here!

I bought the Neverfull in DE about a month ago. I really like it but haven’t worn it more than 4 times. I noticed this today on the strap handle. Should I take in and exchange? I feel bad having worn it a handful of times though.

I'm sorry this happened! Whether this was from normal wear-and-tear or was like that when you got it, we can all agree that it's a bummer to have something like this happen to something so new. I don't have a neverful and I've never done repairs, but I've been reading a lot on this forum to learn more about LV. I think the good news is that it's the leather strap that is damaged and not the canvas. If the canvas is ripped, I don't think LV will do anything. I have seen in another thread that people have had handles replaced on their bags. I would suggest going to the store or emailing LV repairs and see what your options are. You might have to pay for the repair, but it could be fixed.

Anyone with more knowledge and experience on this, please feel free to correct me. Good luck!

Hi everyone!

I have a Speedy B 30 in DE, which I bought in 2019, but have barely used over the past year (since the pandemic started). I took it out recently only to notice that the hardware has tarnished. Even the lock, which has just been sitting inside the zipper pocket in the bag (the bag I keep in its dustbag on a shelf), has tarnished pretty badly. The locks on the strap even have a black mark or two and especially one of the little metal rings on the handles has tarnished so badly that you can barely see the Louis Vuitton engraving. Is this normal? And if I contact LV about it, would they care and actually do anything about it? The bag otherwise is in a pristine condition. So, this is really not cause by excessive wear or me being careless with it. I am just bummed about it.

Yesterday I just received my Pochette Metis that I finally could order online. It was always sold out so I was so happy to get my hands on it. So I have to say that I over scrutinize my bags and I‘m aware of that, because I always want them to be perfect even though I know every bag can have some little imperfections So I unpacked my PM and found these little missing spots of glazing on the back of it. Is this something that I have to worry about in reference to the rest of the glazing around it? I mean you don’t even see it if you’re not zooming in with the camera and it’s on the back of the bag, which not everyone will see. The rest of the bag is in perfect condition and I really don’t want to send it back unless I have to because now it’s sold out again Thanks for your help.

The last pic actually looks pretty bad to me :sad: I would exchange it if I were you. Sorry!!

Send it back. You can (and should) get a better PM!
 
I bought a speedy b 25 mono two weeks ago. I just noticed the patterns on both sides of the zipper don't match. Is it expected ? Any of you who bought speedy recently saw this flaw ? I checked my old LV bags, patterns do match properly in all of them except for this new one.
