Stiff, stuck zippers should not get past Quality Control. LV were famous for their butter smooth zips, I have purchased items in the past just for the zippers!

That is too bad that they allow this. But, the pencil lead fixed it.
Most of my LV do not have zippers. My vintage-1997- Montsouris backpack has the drawstring, and I just realized it has that little zipper area in the front. I’ve had it for a couple of years, and I rarely opened that little front pocket- until tonight! I just went over it a couple of times with the pencil- smooth as butter. Wow, I just figured it was old:)

Hi:smile: Yes, I just wrote on them and ran the pencil up and down the zipper. Not very hard though. I was nervous, so I did it gingerly. I started on a older bag, just in case something weird happened. But it didn’t:smile:

i'm going to have to try this out. big one is smooth but the mini pochette zipper is so stiff that i feel like i am about to rip the zipper off stiff even with using 2hands.

Hi, need your opinions. To those who own both the MP and the PA NM...which one do you like better? I have and tried both and the larger MP pochette looks good as a crossbody because it’s larger but thinner in width and the canvas is softer. The PA NM is smaller but more structured and has a thicker canvas (i think better quality overall). I thought it would be an easier decision to let go of the older one but now I’m torn.

I hope it helps! I think my larger pouch was more difficult than the smaller one. I’m not sure of the quality of these overall. Mine still has some bulging/ puckering areas at the bottom of the larger pouch. I do think they rushed these:)

Ok, I think I solved the zipper problems:smile:

Last night on this forum I was looking up zippers not running smoothly, and the wax was mentioned- but so was pencil lead! I had no idea.
Today I tried the pencil lead- since I don’t have wax paper- and it is a miracle!
I tried on a couple of older bags first. I tried on my black Alma BB since that one was the worst. Fixed it right away! Then tried on my Speedy B- worked beautifully. Then, I tried it with my Gucci disco bag- which was always a pain to zip- AMAZING!
So, I would definitely try this.
* I would be careful on light colored bags
* I wiped the zipper off afterwards to get any remaining lead marks off the zipper.

Wow! This is awesome. Thank you for letting us know, I am excited to try it on my tricky zippers :biggrin:

Hello lovelies! The Multi Pochette is my first LV piece and I am IN LOVE

I have a question though - on two occasions (and probably less than 10 wears) I have had an item become unattached.

First time, I was sitting in coffee shop and I noticed one side of the strap wasn’t clipped on. Second I had the bag over the back of my chair at a restaurant and happened to look on the floor to notice my RCP was just lying there

I guess these could both be a freak accident, but the RCP one really worried me as would hate to lose her!

Has this happened to anyone else?

I hope you are enjoying your first LV. Unlike many of us when we got our first LV, it didn’t come with multiple pieces that can be worn separately or paired with other bags.
Refer to the pic that I attached. I hook the mini Pochette to the clasp on the strap, that is then clasped to the larger Pochette. I prefer it this way because the Pochettes lay better when worn together. Hope this helps and I hope you continue to enjoy your bag. 4418DDAB-4B62-445F-A757-E34EE5FCC716.jpeg03CCD76B-97EE-4B9F-A257-363C16FF1B0A.jpeg
