Thank you so much, doll! I hope so too!
Today I took the bag back to the boutique. The manager saw the problem, but apologized profusely for not being able to exchange my bag at the moment. She said she needed to send pictures to Quality Control. I told her I had pictures of the issue, so I sent her my pics and she said she'd forward them to the department. I just hope they don't judge this as wear and tear or something. At least the bag is brand-new. The manager said she'd get in touch with me in about five days (maybe even less). Let's hope for the best!

I'm sure they will take care of you without a problem. There is no way they can call it "wear and tear" in just a few days. Can't wait to hear the outcome!

"Caressing it" lol!!!!!! Omg, lol! After that, they were like "ma'am... that's your bag now..." so funny!

I'm so excited for you!!! Get ready for the looks and head-turns; this bag is a stunner.

Check it over carefully though... one of my bag homies here @Sonmi999 is having to return hers (and a few other folks too) because of the coating or print peeling! Mine is ok (for now) but I'll going to keep an eye on it.

Congrats and post some mod-shots, we'd all love to see [emoji178][emoji178][emoji178]

It's not exactly the print that is peeling... it seems to be the coating, actually. But who knows if the print wouldn't chip over time :sad: I'll attach a pic. It's not very easy to see on pics and it's still discrete, but I'm not willing to wait and see. My bag is 10 days old and should be perfect :sad: I'm going to the boutique later.

Oh noooooo!!! Closing my door and checking mine now. I did check it yesterday but I hadn't seen the pics so I didn't know exactly what I was looking for.

Sonmi, is yours made is US? Do you know the week? (From the date code?) I'm assuming they're all made in 2016.

Thank you, I hope so too! I'm a little apprehensive, though :(

I hope yours is perfect! Mine is made in France. The date code is a bit hard to see, but I think it's DR4146. I believe they're all made in 2016.

Ok! Mine was made in the same week, but in the US. Maybe it was a batch issue. Mine looks ok so far!

There's a Youtuber, LalaLV, who had a problem similar to mine... and I believe her bag was made in the US, since she bought hers there. So I do hope no one else has no issues with this beautiful bag, but I'd suggest you check on it every now and then :)
 
Hi Ladies,
The Infrarouge bags are gorgeous!:heart:
I called my SA on Sunday to reserve a Reverse PM. My SA called Monday with one available. I stopped by the boutique and did not purchase it. I found the canvas very rough, and upon closer inspection, I saw the bubbling/compromised coating issue (like in your pictures) near a corner where the material was gathered. I was unsure of what I saw, so I pointed it out to my SA, and he was surprised.
I just want to remind everyone to, " Check the bags throughly before purchase." The price point over the past few years is waaaaaaaaaay to high to be embarrassed checking out every inch of your potential big ticket item.
I'm glad LV is working with you on a solution.
Just my two cents...:smile:

Oh nooooo. I just watched her sad video. She's actually the reason I got the bag. :( I will definitely be keeping an eye out.

I wonder how long they test their materials before they put them into production.
 
I got mine today!!! I almost had to wait for them to ship it from another store, but someone had ordered ordered one and couldn't pick it up until Thursday so they gave me hers. Thank God because I felt a little bad carressing it the way I did. lol. I couldn't help it! It was love at first sight. ❤️ (There are none in the warehouse but a lot of stores have multiples in stock. NYC has 0.)

I did look at the reverse monogram but it looked back at me and whispered sadly "you and I both know I'm not the one."

Congrats! NYC stores do have it in stock now. They have two that I know of at the Saks boutique and they have a few at the flagship, not sure about the other boutiques in city. I got my bag at the flagship today. Enjoy!

My office is actually closer to 5th Ave, but I prefer to just go to soho. 5th Ave is like going to an LV department store. Also between The Orange One being across the street causing gridlock and chaos and the holiday crowds...girl I admire your bravery. I'm glad they've redistributed the bags! When my SA was looking the stores that had multiples were in very small markets.

It was abit of a hassle getting down to the flagship because of ***** towers but it wasn't too bad. The streets weren't too busy I think because it was so darn cold yesterday! I met a lovely SA at the flagship so that's why I went there. I never had a specific SA before, I use to SA hop but I am trying to build a relationship with one. Ive actually never been to the soho store before just the Saks, Macy's and flagship.

Do you happen to know if this bag is limited or not? One SA told me it was but then my SA said it wasn't.,

I was told limited edition. None left in the warehouse but plenty of this color in stores. Not very many reverse mono left in stores, but definitely some.

The soho store used to have an atelier on premesis with large displays of custom work. They've bought the space next to them now though and are under construction expanding again, so I doubt they're on site now. But it's a beautiful space.
