Hi everyone. I'm wondering if the flap on the Favorite has any of the same issues that the flap on the Pochette Metis has.
 
When did you purchase your Favorits and when were the made? I ended up selling all 3 of mine due the crease in the flap. Would love to own it again.

My mono was purchased Dec 2013 made in US. I’ve used a heavily ever since I got her. Never had any creasing issues and it has a much softer canvas. My DA was purchased April 2014 made in US. I mostly use it spring & summer. Canvas is pretty thick compared to my mono. Never had any creasing issues.
I heard LV has resolved the creasing issues since last year.

My DE is over a years old. The canvas is a lot softer not everyone will like it that way but I prefer it less stiff. Seems more flexible has more give when having slightly bulkier items if u know what I mean. So far so good. No creases to the flap. I use it a ton. If i can't be bothered to match bag to clothes or on quick errands i always pick this one as it works 90% of what i wear. Very good staple bag to have.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I love the profile of this bag. I bought the mono with the mono strap so it can be more carefree. Now I wait for the call it is in.

Does anyone consider this normal? My SA said the crease would go away with use but it’s like there is a big piece of cardboard in the flap and where you can see the line on the inside is where the board stops from the magnet. This bag is 3 weeks old and I have only used it once!

oh no - i had mine and it had a bulge and i tried placing it under heavy items (protected) and then it sat in its bag . . .until i asked here and felt better that I wasnt being picky and it wasn't normal (or going away on its own). my SA looked at it and said he would get me a new one! this was two years ago so not as HTF as now. Can you live with it... if it doesn't get better?
