Louis Vuitton MultiPochette aka Scam Bag

Hi everyone! I’m new here but I just received my MP in Kaki the other day and was thoroughly inspecting the bag last night and noticed that on the mini pochette the stitching was weird on the back right side. Is this normal? After paying so much money for a bag I would want close to perfect stitching.

It just looks like the bag sort of bubbles up and not flushed like the left side

Mine was kind of like this and I assume it is from being nested in the package. Maybe put some things in to see if the canvas will even out?

For me I am ok with it since it is the back side and really only I will notice it. Plus I searched for too long for this bag and was not bothered by it.

Thanks for the response! I thought the same thing, but my fiancé was telling me, I should return it since you paid all that money. It is just the back side so I think I’m going to think about it. The bag is just so beautiful and I have been obsessing over it so I might end up keeping it since it’s just so hard to get.

Hi! I agree with @LittleStar88. Just try stuffing the bag and hopefully it’ll go back to the shape it was intended to be. If it doesn’t, you can always use the blow dryer trick or as others on TPF have also mentioned: leave in your car for an hour and the outside heat will soften the canvas and you can mold it to the shape you desire (no experience with this one though, but I have done the blow dryer trick to one of my bags).

if you don’t have any other issues with the bag, I would keep it, if I were you. It took me 3 tries to get a bag without any noticeable defects!

Enjoy! :smile::biggrin:

This is common because that is where the vachetta MADE IN tab is sewn to it. It is not a flaw or defect. It’s typical for an item to gather like that when stitching multiple pieces together. I hope you enjoy your new bag.

Oh wow thanks for those tricks maybe I’ll try the blow dryer one because I don’t want to have to stalk the website again to buy in hopes I get a “perfect” one :doh:

I had thought about that as well since that’s the side where the date code is. Thanks for this input :smile:

Be careful with that one though. When I did it, I put the dust bag over the bag, low heat setting, and only did it for 20-30 seconds at a time. And molding the canvas to shape in between.
But try stuffing the bag first, it’ll most likely fix that issue!:idea:
 
So update, I went into LV store today and they said they couldn’t replace it and would do a refund only. The SA I was talking to (who was super lovely!) said this is the first time she has touched one since it’s so hard to get. I even said I would wait for a new one to come in but even then she couldn’t guarantee since they rarely get one and it can only be sold to certain people on waitlist. I am so conflicted at the end of the day part of me says I should keep it but a part of me is annoyed about paying so much to get scratches on my bag :sad: I will probably sleep on this and decide tomorrow.
I recently was gifted the MP by my husband at the beginning of March when he was in business in Switzerland. When I opened the box there were scratches to the hardware on the smallest pochette and so I too believe it was a return. I've called customer services and they've said to bring it in to an LV store that has a good repair service too look at it. I plan to ask them to replace the smallest pochette rather than the whole bag, as it's just the small pochette that's the problem. I know the MP is part of their permanent collection, but its an extremely hard bag to obtain. Did you manage to secure a replacement?
