Louis Vuitton MultiPochette aka Scam Bag

Hi all, I’m new here and just got my hands on the MPA after several months of stalking the website! When it arrived, I really scrutinised it and the first thing I’ve noticed is the hot stamping on the larger pochette is crooked. Also the stitching on the reverse of the strap isn’t great. I’ve contacted LV and they’ve offered me a refund. Do I take it? I don’t think I’ll get my hands on the bag again for a while. They said they don’t have stock to do an exchange. I’m so gutted as I wanted it for so long! Am I just being picky and it’s not that big a deal? Please be honest

If you’re in Europe I would suggest returning and getting another one if you’re really not happy with the hot stamp, although I think it's quite minor. The MPA has been atb a lot on the European site. I actually just posted atb twice this evening at 9.30pm so would suggest you follow the Europe thread below for notifications. To manage your expectations the stitching on the MPA straps are not great. Attached are pics someone else posted a few pages back (page 173) of their strap.

Thanks so much. I know I’m being picky but I’ve been stalking the site to get this bag since May! I just saw it come up this evening and almost bought another. Do you think you can buy two and pick the best parts of both and return the rest?lol

You can with the strap. The pochettes and coin purse have date codes so mix and match could be tricky and risky. I would buy another MPA and compare the two and return the one you don’t want. I bought mine in early May 9 days after joining the forum so would check the EU thread for notifications. We’ve managed to narrow our restocks down to time slots so it makes finding htf items much easier.

My pochettes have different date codes anyway, I assumed that the large pochette was a cast off someone else didn’t want!

Yes, mine are also different but all start with MB. The CP is made 2 weeks earlier than the two pochettes which have the same date code. Only you can make the decision about swapping the parts of the two bags and weigh up the potential risks. I would order the new MPA check the date codes and then decide. Good luck!

Do you think the problems I see are minor? Can you notice the crooked stamping? The strap doesn’t bother me too much. I just saw it after noticing the stamping

Looks ok to me. Someone would need to get really close to notice it. But it's hard to unsee something once you've seen it. It's atb so often now (nearly everyday), I would just order another one and compare the two.

Happy to have this HTF gem under my tree now ❤ View attachment 4921294
Pat myself on the back for successfully finding 2 MPA models this year lol :happydance: :drinks:
Whoo hoo!!! Glad you finally received. Great to be twins with you - I don’t think they made many, as they don’t show up here often! Bet you will love it. I reach for this bag a lot! Congratulations :flowers: :love:

Hi all,

I just purchased the MPA in Khaki and finally understood what all the hype was about! I have never owned anything with vanchetta. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can preserve the light colour or any tips of what I should watch out for with this bag?

Thank you MB! Love LVwin! I hope there is more stock for those that really wanted it. But with LV, a bag in the hand is worth 10 in the “virtual” future!! Enjoy and happy holidays too! It will be a different kind of celebrating this year for sure. Here’s to 2021 being a marked improvement in health, safety and well-being over the insane 2020!!! :heart:
 
Hear hear!! Sending seasonal safe wishes and positivity right back at you, dear LVwin DT:giggle: :heart::drinks::heart:
