I was put on the waitlist for this bag. I have no idea if I’m going to like it or not. I don’t want to be caught up in the fear wanting this bag because of the hype…..I’ve been offered to buy it but have not seen it in person.

I just received mine (ordered on 6/25 w/ next day delivery.)
What do y'all think? After taking a closer look, I am seeing some misalignment.
I'd hate to return it! :sad:

Hmmm that’s hard to say. Does it bother you? I do see the misalignment too, but it’s not like anyone would be able to tell while you’re wearing it. I think it depends on your preference; if you’re satisfied with it and don’t want to have to hassle with returning then trying to get on a waitlist/get another one whenever it’s back in stock, then it might be worth it to keep it. But if it’s going to bug you every time you look at it and prevent you from enjoying it as much, it’s worth returning IMHO.

From the picture, I would probably lean toward returning it, but that’s just me. It might not actually be as noticeable in person, and if not, I would keep it. I personally don’t expect perfection (I think one will almost always be able to find some tiny flaw on every bag if one looks hard enough for it), but I do like for luxe brand-new bags to be as close to perfect as possible since they’re not cheap.

Good luck with your decision! :heart:

Thank you for your thoughtful response! You are spot on with your observations lol.
I was hoping I would be okay with it and that it would be unnoticeable once I have it on. But I took some videos of me wearing it and I can still tell it's uneven. I guess it's just hard for me to unsee it at this point.

I will most likely return it. Although it's been a journey trying to get my hands on it. I went to the store on launch day but they were all sold out. I was able to order one online later that day but it was cancelled due to no availability.
I am already on the long waitlist at my local store. But I'm okay with waiting since now I know that I love the bag. I think the silhouette is so unique and flattering. :heart:

You are so welcome! That was so clever of you to take videos of yourself wearing it; I’m going to do the same when mine arrives. :loveeyes: The fact that you can still notice it in the videos would bother me, too, and like you said, once we see these things, for better or for worse, we can’t unsee them! So I think you’re wise to return it and wait for a better piece, because it would probably continue to bother you and affect your long term enjoyment of this adorable little piece. :sad:

I don’t think it’s at all unrealistic of us to expect these premium pieces to be properly aligned, stitched straight, un-frayed, etc when we’re paying so much for them! :no:

And even though it’s frustrating to have to wait even longer, it will be worth the wait in the end to have a piece that you are truly happy with. Good luck returning this one and getting your replacement! Hopefully the waitlist moves quickly and you get a perfect piece soon. :heart:

I’m sorry to say but I would definitely return. I try not to be too picky but that front pocket is very skewed. It’s such a shame they can’t make so many of these bags right (thinking PSM as a point in case) or at least have better QA. It should never have been sent out to you.

Yes, I agree — to me the sides look pretty unsymmetrical in the photo; hopefully there are better options in the warehouse! And now that she knows what issues to look out for with the side alignment, hopefully she will be able to pick a better one. And I truly hope the Monoglam Nano that’s on the way to you is perfect! If it’s not, will you keep trying to find a better one, or will you just accept it? Or not get it all?
i have to see the Monoglam Nano Speedy in person first, then decide. Should be here tomorrow as today is our public holiday here
 
Do you guys think LV would just sell me the vachetta strap only without the bag?
You can purchase an adjustable vachetta strap on the LV website (I imagine it’s much longer than the strap that comes with the Bunbag), but I don’t believe it’s “treated” vachetta like the Bumbag is: https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/adjustable-shoulder-strap-16-mm-vvn-vvn-004672/J52312

I purchased this one when it restocked the other day, but the website says it’ll take 3-4 weeks to ship due to high demand. Will report back on how it works out and how it looks with the Bumbag!

I already have that one. I’m specifically looking for the strap of the mini bumbag
