So it is true that some multi-pochettes were made in the USA. I heard that some others are made in France? Am I right?
I wonder if the poor stitching is due to it being made in USA?
I bought both the rose and the kaki, with the rose bag being made in France and kaki in USASo it is true that some multi-pochettes were made in the USA. I heard that some others are made in France? Am I right?
I wonder if the poor stitching is due to it being made in USA?
I wouldnt necessarily say it’s true of all the made in USA bags, but the stitching on it was not as good as my made in France bags. The coin purse was the most obvious as the made in USA one looked less round
Thank you for sharing.
I wouldn't automatically say it is because it is Made in USA because I have seen some bags MIU that were better made than MIF. It is all about who is working on it.
That’s totally unacceptable. You should return it.
Where it’s made USA, France, Italy or Spain has nothing to do with poor workmanship and bad quality control. I’d like my USA friends to know, we in Europe also get sloppy stitching, glazing issues, holes in canvas, etc., all the same problems you have and ours are made here, mainly France.
I’m still perplexed with this obsession with having MIF items. It’s all made in a factory somewhere and problems occur regardless where it’s made. Over the years I’ve returned a number of MIF pieces due to various issues, so nothing special about MIF. Quality over where it’s made is far more important. Apologies for the rant.
Good to know.
As far as 'this obsession' with made in France pieces, I'll add my two cents. Vuitton began in France. Chanel was French as well. I don't buy either brand when made outside of France.....it loses its connection to history. Whoops! I lied, I do have one Chanel piece made in Italy, the zip around coin/card case which I love. Yes! I caved on that one.
Hi, may I ask where did you get those pictures?
I just searched it on the USA website and couldn’t find them. And these pictures look like coming from LV website
Yes, I understand the history of LV and they have long since moved away from the way they used to make their bags and where they were manufactured. The made in tag is just not something that is particularly important to me, however structure, craftsmanship and quality is. I guess I'm spoilt as the majority of my pieces are MIF, except two (MII, MIS). So many luxury designers now do not have their product made in their country of origin (Italians maybe an exception), that it would be a minefield trying to track down pieces made in their home country.
Exactly. I want my French designer bag to be Made in France. LOL..... seems like that new factory in TX is a training location to practice making these items !!!
Oh dear....I'm sorry you got that set. I managed to find one randomly thanks to the stalking thread just this month - in perfect condition, Made in France, all with matching codes. With rumours of an impending price increase, you deserve what you pay for !!

Sorry, I still have to be honest, I see that the stitches don’t look so perfect

I agree - nothing at all against whatever country it is made in but when you're branding yourself as a Luxury "French" company and charging exorbitant prices for your goods to my mind they should be made in France. Just my opinion.
