I got mine today (ordered Aug 10)! I think this one is probably a return tbh. The booklet and sku sticker are a little wrinkled. I checked the bag over and it seems ok though. I didn’t see any scratches on the hardware, but stitching on the strap could be better. Made in USA.

:shrugs:‍ Will probably keep it, because I’m not dedicated enough to return and try again. Especially because dealing with UPS in Canada is a nightmare!

Mine looked the same (see page 148). I decided to keep it since it was made in France and everything else looked good. I don’t think it was a return since it was made roughly 2 weeks before I received it but I could be wrong.

Hi! Ordered my Victorine wallet today to go with my MPA, after all of your suggestions. I originally was interested in the micro wallet but after watching a view reviews on YouTube I was scared of scuffing/scratching the soft leather on the inside. Thanks again for the extra push everyone!

Just took a look at the stitching on mine and I agree, the stitching on your strap isn't ideal, but if the canvas is fine, returning it would be such a hassle. I returned a couple of things and it took a MONTH for the return to complete (also in Canada). Apparently, the warehouse you send it back to in Mississauga is not its final destination. The employees in Mississauga then have to send it to the U.S. distribution centre in New Jersey. It's absolutely bonkers.

Just saw this on my Instagram feed. It’s not even brand new. Retails for AUD2790, used to be AUD2450. I don’t get this hype!

Fashionphile is charging $3000 USD+ the uncharge is insane but honestly, as long as there's a demand and people are willing to pay for it, there will continue to be these insane prices. I just saw one that sold on the Canadian consignment market that sold for 3200. that's 500 (AFTER 13% tax)

It’s just the care booklet! I’ve gotten it for most of my LV stuff except the PSM. :)

@levint , your MultiPA came with what kind of "booklet"? Mine didn't come with any paperwork....

Yes, such a hassle! My bag was actually shipped from NJ so that’s probably where they’ll have to send it back. Returns are probably taking extra long now because of COVID too.

The date code on mine is SD2290 so made around July? Definitely enough time for someone to buy and return :-s

I know it’s no fun when you get an eagerly awaited bag and it isn’t perfect. The stitching could be neater, but that double stitching is normal, and is for reinforcement and for “unravel” protection. I can say how many times I’ve looked at the stitching on my bags after I’ve decided I’m keeping one - zero! It doesn’t show in your photos except for the closeups. I wouldn’t think it would affect integrity of the strap at all. I know you have to decide how much it bugs you, but I would keep it if it was mine! Kaki is so gorgeous. Good luck.

I loved my Trio Messenger so much that I finally caved in and purchased a MPA in Kaki. I asked my CA for the bag on 08/19, purchased it on 08/20 and picked it up this weekend. I am shocked at how easy it was to get this in NYC. I haven't had time to play with it, but it's made in the USA, everything came in 1 dust bag and the strap/chain came in a plastic ziploc bag. I did notice minor sloppy stitching at the interior round pouch. I will post photos later tonight.

Hi everyone, I’m new to TPF and was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion. I recently bought the multi pochette at the end of July and have only used it a handful of times over the course of a month due to COVID but noticed that the gold on the hardware was rubbing off already. Has this been a problem for anyone else? Is it to be expected of the bag already? I was a bit disappointed to see it since it’s not cheap and barely used it. Any feedback would be appreciated!!

No issues so far. Having said that I have heard of one YouTuber noting substantial surface scratches to the hardware (strap and pochettes). This could be from the hardware knocking against it each other or the gold chain rubbing against the hardware on the smallest pochette. Do you have any pictures you could post?

I am interested to see the sloppy stitching on the round coin purse please. Thank you.
