LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

[Poochie231080]

I was able to pick up my reverse at the store yesterday which was a day early. Workmanship on it is better than my previous minis and MIF too.
Just want to share..when I was busy catching up w/ my SA and checking new items.. I placed my epi jean steamer on top of the display case. other ladies at the store mistook my baby as a display bag. DH had to fend them off as they wanted to grab it .

hahaha...i had that happened to me once with a custom order LV

Hi everyone longtime lurker here finally made account because I had a question!

I've been after this backpack for sometime now and I ordered one from the LV website and finally received it today. Does this front tab look strange to you guys? Also I've searched this thread and others for answers so please redirect me if I'm wrong, but how do we read the data codes on these bags? Like what does PL4177 mean? My friend has one that says CA4197 but it's in a different spot... maybe because it was made in a different country from mine? Also... is the country where is made make a difference in quality? Or is it just preference? Mine is made in Italy and my friends is made in Spain but I see that other people prefer made in France.

Just re-read my post, thanks for bearing with me on all these questions lol and thanks in advance!!

I think yours looks great! I'm not sure what you're referring to about the tab, it looks good to me.. But I'm no expert and just recently got mine also.
I'm also wondering about the difference in where it's made. Mine is made in Italy also, which I'm not bothered by because I do not have any other items made in Italy so I think it's neat. I have other items that are made in France, Spain, USA.. And they're all holding up great and I've had no issues with them.

Oh also, for the date code question.. PL usually refers to the country it is made in, the first and third number represent the week it's made (47) and the second and fourth number represent the year it is made (17)..so it was made in Italy on the 47th week in 2017. You can also Google something like "Louis Vuitton date code" and you'll see a list of various initials and what country they refer to.

Oh yay thanks! I was comparing it to my friends and her tab looked a little bit smaller and not as deeply imprinted. That's good to know that quality is on par in the different countries! Makes me feel better and thank you for explaining the date cords to me, helped me out so much! Knowledge is power lol

Ohhh I see it now! Maybe it's an Italy thing because my tab is also on the larger side compared to some others that I've seen. The imprinting on yours is gorgeous!

The alignment looks awesome and good on the label imprint. For the date code, my previous minis were inside the pocket. Mif and mis. My latest one is no longer in the inside pocket. It is inside near the bottom of the bag.

Just sharing (i have already posted up the photos in the world tour club thread)

It appears my bag was made in the 48th week of 2017 but i only placed my order on the 50th week. I guess there are PS minis lying around in the factory waiting to be ordered and customised[emoji23]

I've been stalking this thread for a few days now because I've been dying to get my hands on this bag! I spoke with customer service sometime last week and they informed me that these were out of stock online and in store and that the waitlist had been closed since the demand was so high I was so shocked that there was this huge thread about this bag and I've been taking everyone's advice to check the website frequently and yesterday..... I SAW THE "PLACE IN CART" BUTTON! I didn't think twice and immediately ordered it! I'm so excited to pick it up this weekend - thank you ladies for all the advice! This may be the beginning of an expensive addiction

I recently was able to score on pochette metis in the reverse monogram and realized that the reverse strap on palmsprings mini look so cute! I've seen posts about palmsprings + PM monogram strap but I think the reverse adds a little extra something! I prefer wearing my palmsprings as a crossbody and wasn't really a big fan of the thin strap, but I think this way I don't really feel the need to buy palmsprings in the reverse monogram (#thestruggleisreal). I feel like the reverse is so difficult to photograph well but oh well

I snagged one 1/6!![emoji12] I’ve never stalked a bag so hard in my life. I told myself I wasn’t gonna pay $1940 for it, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I hope it’s worth it!!

Just have to chime in to say what an amazing little bag this is. I carried it for two weeks while away at Disney World both on a quick Caribbean cruise and a week at the parks. Here it is braving the waters of Splash Mountain. It actually carried way more than I thought and was much easier to get in and out of once I got the hang of it!
