I finally got it!
I asked a friend from Portland to purchase for me (Did not have a history since this is my first LV) and I am all the way from California.

i wasn't supposed to get it because $2000 was a lot. But since Portland was tax-free, I made it an exception. Also, I had a delusional "treat yo self" mentality since I am graduating college this year.

Hi guys! I really need your help!

I bought a brand new reverse monogram palm springs mini in the middle of April and I haven't used it even once. Today I noticed a faint line on the reverse canvas edges around the front pouch. It's most obvious on the two corners. This is my first and only LV bag so I don't know if it's made this way or if it’s a defect. Could fellow owners of this beautiful bag let me know if yours have anything similar to this please? Do you guys think it's an issue I should be concerned about? Thank you so much in advance! 20180507_220458.jpg

It llooks like that is the way it got printed when they put it on the canvas. I checked mine and there a couple places where it was a bit lighter. The pattern is not solid if you look at it with a bit of magnification. It is noticeable when it is not saturated.

@Poochie231080 thank you!

I went to the store today and they said it looks unusual, but if the line splits open or cracks down the road, they can replace for a new bag or exchange around the 1 year mark. So I am going to just enjoy it but also keep an eye on it and try not to obsess too much...

The funny thing is, I also bought a Saint Michel bag on the website which arrived today. And guess what, it has the exact same line along the edges of the base, between the sewing and the edge itself, and runs the entire length of the edge. I will upload a photo in case anyone's interested in this bag. This one I also showed to the SA and was told that they've never seen it before either and don't know why it's like that. The Saint Michel I'm definitely going to return, defect or not.

Just fyi, the Saint Michel I got is made in Spain and the palm springs mini is made in France.

Thanks everyone!

Hi @Suburbachic ! I'm referring not to the print of the patterns, but a line on the edge of the reverse canvas surrounding the corners of the pouch. Could you take a look at my other post here, please? Thank you!

I saw what you are saying when I saw the other pics. It seems like the canvas got scored maybe to be cut. Whoever did it and made a mistake hence the lines/creases. If you are not happy abt it, I'd say exchange it. In my experience the reverse combo monogram is harder to get. Get it whike they are still making it.

@Suburbachic Thank you for your advice! I stumbled upon the reverse palm springs mini on the website and ordered one. I was soooo excited! And I returned the previous one to the boutique. Keeping my fingers crossed that the new one will be perfect!
