I am so devestated :sad: after months of pestering client services one managed to get me on the waitlist for the multi pochette in rose pink. I was so happy I got on the list and was anticipating a 6 month wait before I heard back from them. Literally the week after I get a call that it’s available ?! So I paid in a heart beat and it was shipped to me, but it was my worst fear when I opened it today. I believe this is a returned bag since there’s all these scratches on the clips of the strap! The smaller pochette and coin purse was sunken in and not the right shape :sad: i feel so heart broken. Was wondering if anyone had the same issue and has been successful or any issue in getting a returned bag replaced?

How disappointing for you. The scratches are not normal - all the hardware I receive is pristine. As far as the sunken in look, that’s not unusual. Many of us receive bags that way. My solution was to stuff mine with white socks and let is sit under the Christmas tree for a month and they came out perfect - however, that’s a long wait I know, and I find that with just normal use the pieces plump out unless they are sewn incorrectly (and when that happens it’s very obvious). I would certainly contact LV, the hardware should be perfect. Good luck - sorry this happened.

I know - choices! I loved the kaki too, but pink won out given my wardrobe and I wear lots of H scarves and pink is more compatible with the colorways I have. I love the kaki too. And pink would look good with your pieces.

Don't even go there with H scarves- I have tons (as Le Tigre avatar will attest- love yours as well!) and I do agree with you about the rose being more compatible. I will buy the MP- just not sure if I will do it right now. I am also loving the Trio pochettes- wish there was a clip on the wristlet part to use it interchangeably with other D rings.

I had issues with my bag. Compared to my first one yours seems pretty good. I had major stitching issues, bubbled glazing, glue residue, and crooked stamping. LV did not help me exchange, and I even escalated the claim. I ended up buying another bag on my own, and returning the worse one. To me the shape of your bags are perfectly fine, I wouldn’t worry about that. When filled you will notice nothing. The strap hardware does appear a bit scratched though, maybe they will do a replacement/repair order for a new strap for you?

Indeed - my scarf collection keeps growing exponentially - and yes great avatar you have! I DO think the kaki would go oh so well with the green cw of the reissued 2 sided C’est la Fete!:P I plan at least 2 if not 3 clf purchases, and the green strap is gorgeous too on its own.

I do keep eyeing the trio pouch. It would go great w my soon to be arriving reverse OTG, but I have SO many pochettes large and small. So I’m waiting. The Mp bag really is cool, I’m sure you will know when. :heart:

Go check out the trio thread, Mel just posted pics of what fits and I’m already anticipating having to return it :doh:

Adore CLF- I bought several when they first issued in mens'. It was a little edgy for H at the time but now a beloved forever design. Love your taste:heart:

Because the trio pouch pieces are flat, they look distorted when you put pieces in it that are not flat. The capacity of the TP 26 is greater than all three pieces combined and it’s a lot less.

I totally agree- the Trio Pouch is like jewelry- a statement piece, not really all that practical. But for dashing into LV or for evening out when carrying just the minimum, it is very unique and beautiful IMO.

You too! The coolest thing about H silks for me are all the wonderful artists and colors they use, and then how they bring them to life. They truly are scarf clothes, and all these cool LV bags fit right in! Can’t wait to wear my multi pochette this week with a pink scarf. And I’m jealous of your several :P- I discovered CLF right at the end of its release and got the last one at Madison’s men store over the phone and felt lucky!! This time I’m prepared!!

I know - that’s my hesitation. I love my NF pouches, but don’t use as much because of the distortion. That’s why the MP is so wonderful - it’s thick enough to hold all sorts of things distortion free!

@DrTr - thanks for that tip! I might try stuffing it and see how I go, good to know a few others have received it flat like that!

@alliegetyourgun - omg I’m so sad for you with all those issues that breaks my heart! It’s such a nice bag but to receive it with all the issues it’s so off putting :(

I’m going into LV today to see if they can do anything about the strap so I will keep you guys posted! The bag was made in the 49th week of 2019 so it’s so recent I can’t understand why there would be scratches. I just have a feeling they replaced the strap with a returned one which is why there are all these scratches :sad:

Good luck - I can’t imagine they won’t find you a perfect one. And that white sock trick really works! I’ve used with a few bags and it pops them into perfect shape.

A little frustrated! Seems when I didn’t want this dang bag it was popping up in my local boutique left and right. As soon as I told my SA to keep a lookout it’s like they’ve stopped production. Anyone have any intel on when this may filter out into the stores again? Even my SA was surprised he hasn’t seen any in a couple weeks.

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 :( I will probably sleep on this and decide tomorrow.
