Thank you so much for your reply. I will definitely take it in to get looked at. I got it at the end of January 2018, so it's only been a few months. I previously had a mini that I returned because of this issue and I was thinking that if it's happened to me twice, there has to be other people it has happened to. I have LV bags that are nearly 20 years old, that are still in great condition and have been used TONS. I'm not sure of the quality of LV bags anymore... I love this bag but I refuse to pay $2000 for a defective bag.

Totally agree with you that it shouldn’t be happening this early on. However, this “lv quality is going down!” song and dance is probably as old as the bags you claim to have. You can find threads on here from 2006 stating this ridiculous claim, however you still hear people on newer threads say “bags were better in 2007!” So, moral of the story, you’ll find good ones and bad ones. One or two bad one does not mean they’re ALL bad. But i guess this is people’s go-to when they want to complain.

Ha! I had no idea about the lv quality song and dance. I just joined this forum yesterday and decided to put this post out there because after searching, I couldn’t find anything about the tabs. I’m getting frustrated bc I’ve had two empreinte pieces that were defective (glazing was melting and rubbing off) and then the mini Palm Springs backpack and now this backpack. All within the last five years. I guess I’m having bad luck with the styles I’m choosing.

Have any of you received your PSM after being put on a waitlist? I was at the Bloomingdale’s boutique in San Francisco the other day and was told there’s about 350+ On the waitlist in the entire US and 10 in this specific store. Of course that didn’t stop me from putting my name on the list, but how long did it take for you to receive yours?
Btw my SA was sooo great, her name was Winnie and I’ll definitely be contacting her for any future purchases! Lol :smile::love::loveeyes:

Update: I received a call from my SA last Friday (My Friday the 13th went extremely well LOL) saying my bag was here and managed to pick it up on Sunday. I love it so much and totally worth the wait!! The zipper does make the bag a little harder to open but i don't really mind. I also am only using the two long straps to make the bag shorter on me as i am only 5'3".

Went to the LV stores on bloor in Toronto a few weekends ago and there were no PSMs in stock. I was told to add my name to the waitlist and prepay for the bag. When I asked about how long it would take before I would possibly get a bag, both stores said a few months. One of the SAs told me they get a bag a week and just go down the list. *sigh* was hoping to get lucky.

B522E11D-A353-4582-947D-590DEF01EBC0.jpeg Well today it happened. My black little tab began to separate. :( Only carried the bag for about two months inside of another larger bag as a grab and go situation and a handful of times on its own as a crossbody. This is the flap that faces front when when crossbody.

I tried searching this thread but can’t find what I’m after in the many pages... so those of you who’ve had this little tab fixed, what is the fixing procedure (Reglaze? New tab?), how much did it cost, and how long did it take?

I’m 3.5 hours drive from the nearest LV. My SA is a student and she hasn’t answered my recent email about the my world tour collection so I think she might be during finals week. So I want to get some more info before I decide if this is an urgent fix and bother her.

Thanks in advance.

Mine separated one month in. Sent to LV and it was reglazed. Took 2 months but it wasn’t done well on one of the tabs. Both my tabs separated. LV is ordering another one for me while I am using the original one. My top tabs were fraying too and those were replaced.
