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

Recently I was able to stalked PSM online but when i received it, i find the front alignments were slightly off. Being a mom to 2 toddlers and working from hone, i have no time to go to the store to inspect another PSM in person. Anyway, so my friend was able to got one for me from the store(without sending me pics first). Then i noticed the stitching was off on the left side of the bag from the back! My position now is to return both. Can you tell me if it’s the quality issue or am i being too picky?

There should be a return label that came in the Louis Vuitton envelope. Just go online into your account, under your order category, initiate the Request a Return. Make sure to include the box, dust bag, web/original receipt... (everything it came with). Remove the adhesive on the card board box, sealed the box, and put the sticky return label over your address and drop it off at a UPS with no charge. I just had to do a return with my nvfull cherry interior, somehow the handles straps were sewn with red threads and not the yellow threading. Not sure how that passed their QA process. LOL!!! Refund takes a while to process, so expect at least a good three to four weeks before receiving your funds. Good luck! :smile:

Would you keep or return? This is my 2nd Gracefull I returned the first one for excessive wrinkling on the front handle. This one is worse but under the handle along with some slight scuffs on front handle. Should a try one last time to exchange, return for good, or keep and settle? ‍♀

It could Been better, then again it could Be Worse. I would exchange. You dont seem satisfied enough, and you should be. Try another bag and take it from there.
 
Hey guys, I just received a speedy b 30, and I was wondering if there was recently a change made in the stamping - the embossed stamp that is usually on the side of the bag, on the leather strip. Mine doesn't have it, and I cant find anything regarding it. I read several places that date code tags have been removed, but havent seen anything about this. I'm not 100% sold on the size, so I'm semi concerned about it being a problem if I decide to sell later. tempImageryfbAv.pngtempImageCSnA6g.png

Probably a Made in USA piece. Since the microchip era started, they do it like this. Even if you sell someday, all new Speedys will be like this, so it won't be a problem.

Have you seen the missing stamp before? I’m also curious what makes you think it’s a made in USA piece. I’m in Europe and don’t think I’ve ever come across one before, so just wondering what the differences are!

Sorry, there were quite some similar Made in questions recently from the US, that I assumed that you are there. Louis Vuitton is trying to downplay the 'French brand' recently. Many customers have issues with Made in Spain, Italy and especially USA bags, since they prefer Vuittons to be made in France. So many exhange stories and threads are out there where people are debating to exchange or worrying about quality differences. LV certainly had enough of SAs forced to hunt down Made in France pieces, and they try to conceal this info. As far as I understood, they removed the Made in tags from the USA bags quite a while ago, so they only say "Louis Vuitton Paris" on the stamps. I thought that they left the French bags intact, but now I am starting to have a theory, that on the bags that are made in several places all over the world, they don't have the marking anymore, so there won't be 'better' Speedys in the future. If you bought it in Europe, then it is most certainly was made in Ducey, since most of the canvas Keepalls and Speedys are made there in Normandy. But it is still very interesting that they are doing this now.
