JASMIN question! HELP! Is the zipper hard or fluide?

[Bordelle]

Hi all, I just got a new Jasmin epi in black - the zipper seems to be very stubborn and difficult to operate - doesn't slide very easily...is this normal with the newer jasmin epi's? Or should it slide very easily without me having to put the bag down?

My Jasmin also had a stiff zipper - should loose up with use

My Vanilla Jasmin's from 2004 (although not used very much) and the zipper is still kind of stiff!

Thanks Addy and Karman!

Happy Birthday Karman - I had mine on the 2nd and my Jasmin didnt arrive in time, but oh well.

It's a relief to know my piece isn't defective.

Thanks Bordelle!

Yep my Jasmin is that way too!

Mine isn't too bad, I don't have to set the bag down in order to open it.

Thanks Sphere and Rebecca!

I've managed a few times without setting it down, but I don't look very graceful!

I have the old red epi jasmin from 2002. The zipper is still stiff! I know what you're talking about where you have to sit the bag down to open your bag. It's just so awkward. ush:

Mine is from 2005. The zipper is slightly stiff, but so is the bag. I have no trouble opening it, though. Perhaps LV made some adjustments?
