Louis Vuitton MultiPochette aka Scam Bag

[fuzzysparkles]

I got my Kaki yesterday! I let it sit for 24 hours to make sure it was "clean".

First, it's beautiful...I love the whole look. Even better in person.

Now, down to the details:

It came with four dustbags. One for each bag, and then all three in the large pouch. Coin purse stuffed with two foam squares. Chain packed in the dust bag, loose, with the middle purse. Strap packed inside the large purse, folded, including the booklet.

Date stamp on all three: SD1200.

No noticeable scratches or marks on the three bags.

But when I looked at the strap, that's where I saw some of the inconsistent stitching on the backside of the vachetta pieces. Just like HopeARMY318. It didn't bug me as much though because it's on the backside and not easily visible.

This is what bugged me. It looks like the clasps indented the leather due to the way they were packed inside the large purse.



That's on the outside facing side so more noticeable. One more obvious than the other.

I'm torn on returning or keeping...I don't expect perfection, but I wonder if I'll see this again. And from the sound of it, LV could be "recycling" returns so I'm worried I'll end up with an MP with the other issues reported here. I'm not as worried about being able to get another one...I've seen it available several times, including the Rose Clair this week.

A piece made in the 10th week of this year is considered a “recycled return”. Aren’t we currently in week 11 or 12? How many times could the piece possibly be returned in a 2 week period of production? So sorry your piece wasn’t made this week, but the indents will decrease so long as you don’t lean the hardware in the leather. Otherwise, exchange if you want.

It must really bug you that people are on this forum, shopping and discussing about imperfections, as if nothing is happening around us in this world.

Maybe you should just step away from the forum and direct your energy towards something more positive, instead of being snarky, not just here, but on other threads.

Everyone deals with stress and fear in their own way...being judgmental is not helpful. Or having your own "opinion" as you call it. SMH.

Hey! Happy to hear you got a hold of the coveted bag. I read that all three have the same date code- amazing. Can you tell me where you found the date code for the bigger pochette? I can’t seem to find mine. Thanks so much!

I haven’t mentioned anything about “what’s going on in the world”, not sure why you feel the need to rehash it from days ago. At the end of the day, if you are not happy with your piece. Return it. Exchange it. Why do you need the opinion of other people to make your personal decision? I never understand these “should I return” or “ Is my 3 day out of the factory piece a return”. Ugh. Just move on if you don’t like my opinion....

Maybe you can order another and then keep that one til the new one arrives then pick the better of the two? I’d hate for you to lose out on a good set just for a strap!

I’ve already returned 2 bags. Ordered another Monday night, but it is still processing (ugh!). Sooo if I were in your shoes, I would just keep the bag. But that’s just me, because I’m already going on my third! Haha.

Let us know what you decide! And just ignore Judgmental Madrye28!

There's a small leather tag, in the inner pocket of the pochette, off to the side. Let me know if you don't see it and I can take a pic.

Yeah, I guess I could do that. Thanks for the suggestion!

I hope "third time's the charm" for you.

I think you made more of her post than what was stated and she had a point about the dates. I don’t know what you are wanting to hear, she stated the indents may decrease with wear. It’s your money, your bag, your decision. Only you know what you can live with.

The indentations on the leather strap are common from the hardware. It is hard to avoid it from happening due to the packing/shipping process. One of my GFs got one last week and hers was like that too. She returned hers because there were other defects.
I just checked mine and two of mine are like that on one end. It doesn’t bother me.

Ok, thanks for checking and the pics! I think I’ll just keep it.

And with use, leather does get small dents and imperfections over time - it’s part of the well-loved process! Hope you enjoy her, I love mine and use it in so many different ways with different straps. I like the pink strap, but it slides off my shoulder unless I wear it cross body. So I often use my PM strap or a chain if I use one of the smaller bags alone. Just glad so many MPs showed up yesterday. it was raining LV!!

Mine arrived today. I ordered the Kaki and Rose Clair.

Rose Clair. Each item comes in its own dust bag and inside one dust bag. Appears to be a return: dust bags are crumpled, booklet floating outside on its own. Coin pouch looks crumpled. But I love it, nothing to complain about but worth noting.

Kaki. All items come in one dust bag, nicely nestled together. So strange the difference in dust bags!

I am leaning towards keeping Kaki. I like that the LV name is more subdued. But I also love the pink! Will be making a decision by Friday. But here’s a theft-proof photo of Kaki ...

How did you get your hands on both?!?!

True...I don't baby my purses () so I know I'll get some mark on them soon enough. I love the cross body look and that is actually what drew me to the MP in the first place. And I usually don't buy the same item with different color ways but I may end up with the Rose Clair too, it's so pretty.

I've also looked at other brands that make wide shoulder straps so that I can interchange them. Anya Hindmarch is having a sale on some cute straps but they're not adjustable which I prefer.

So crazy that I was able to order one of each!

Somehow both were suddenly available. Ordered Kaki. My CC out of default declined and said they did not approve the funds and to resubmit. It was late so couldn't call customer service.

Went back and ordered the pink since in that short time the Kaki was no longer available.

In the meantime, credit card DID send payment for the first one after all (grrrrr) but both bags got shipped (yay). Sending the pink one back since the kaki goes better with most of what I wear. I tell you though, I would like a pink strap eventually to mix it up with this set.
