Hello everyone! I just received my new Palm Springs Mini in the mail. I ordered it at one LV because they sold the one they had before I could go back and buy it and so it was shipped to me from another LV. Everything looks great, except the canvas does not line up along the small pocket. The design on the right is perfect but the middle and left is off center and looks wonky to me. If I was looking at it in store I’d ask to see another. But these are so hard to come by in stores so most stores have none or only one. I’ve looked at photos online and some minis line up some don’t... some are worse... some are perfect... Obviously I’d like it to line up on the front seam, but I’m worried if I return it the replacement could be worse or have another flaw since I can’t go to a store to look at the bag I’m person. I could ask my SA to send pics of an alternative bag... I feel like it’d bother me every time I use he bag but I also feel like a diva for being so picky. But it is a luxury bag and I feel it should be perfect. Ugh! Has anyone exchanged because of alignment? Insights appreciated...
i had the same dilemma before, i decided to change it and the replacement is the same too, so i just take the replacement and couldn’t be any happier, just enjoy the bag as i have waited months for it.... cheers!
 
Anyone know where I may still be able to order the mini in the reverse print? I'm from Sydney and they are not doing any more orders of this.

Try calling LV Client Services and see if they can locate one for you in any of your Aus stores. If you’ve purchased anything from LV in the last 12 months, they can charge-send it to you if available.
 
I’m looking to purchase a mini palm springs in the U.S. Is it hard to get?? I know most stores don’t have stock but I still do see alot of girls with fhe bag. Have most of you waited awhile before receiving one from a wait list?

I stalked the website for about a week before I was able to "add to cart" the reverse mini (~9 months ago). When I called the 866 Vuitton number, I was able to have the mono one shipped to me from a store about 2 hours away. I suggest calling the customer service number with the LV PS Mini item number ready. They will be able to locate one for you if there are any available in store in your country. When I called for my mono mini, CA had two stores with it available. That was about 4 months ago. Note that even if a store has it available, it could be on hold for someone. Your best bet is to call LV to locate one for you. Good luck!

How difficult is it to actually get this bag in the U.S.? Everywhere I look sells it for a markup. I purchased one yesterday at the LV store and the SA told me there's literally only 2 left in the entire U.S. and Canada, and I was extremely lucky to come across one. They had the reverse and mono at the store I went to, but I was only looking at the mono. She took both of them out to show me and some foreigners started eyeing the bags as she was showing me. I was thinking to myself "oh **** I better cop this before they do." So I did. And I'm not sure if I regret it or not, it was definitely not a purchase I was anticipating. If I can just get it at some other time then I might return it.

I called client services and they said its a 4-5 week waitlist. They also were able to tell me two stores that had immediate availability. I also called my local LV store and they advised me of a few more stores with availability. So while not every store carries the mini, there are only a very few that do. I was able to order one from Florida and have it shipped to me.
