I hope I’m on the right thread; pls forgive if not. I have somehow amassed several pieces of pre-loved LV joy and the bulk of these items one would call vintage as they are 15-20 years old, save for a few SLGs. In my heart, I would like to stay loyal to the brand as an actual customer and I have been teetering with the idea of trying some newer styles just to check on newer quality as opposed to the older generations I have been collecting thus far. After quickly buying and selling a beloved yet impractical Artsy, I decided to get the Berri MM in the monogram; pre-loved and stunning bag (also cures my Vachetta fix as I was missing that Artsy Handle
I just received it a day ago and haven’t taken her out really as of yet. However upon closer inspection, the bag has some kind of milky-white ashy splotches, and they remain dull when you turn the bag towards any light, won’t come off with all the suggested cleaning techniques described on LV website. I should also mention that the bag came with the original dustbag as well as receipt. I am curious to know that while I’m trying to decide to even keep this piece or not, can I visit my local LV with the bag to inquire about possible repair or even replacement while I have the original receipt? It’s just over 2 years old but even the CS rep from the company’s 800-line informed me that’s too soon for what I was describing to be happening to this type of bag style. Any thoughts? I also have included pics for ideas of exactly what is going on with the canvas spots? Do these precede cracking? Is it a glazing prob?
