Have you tried bringing it into the store to have them wax the zipper for you? When I picked mine up this past Friday, it was hard to unzip at first, but she waxed the zipper and now it is better. Also, I have read some people say it is easier to unzip if you place it flat on surface or it is on your body.Thanks for sharing! Do u also have any tips for on using the bag? It’s my first lv bag.. the psm zip is a little hard to zip and I’m worry about zipping/unzipping the bag as I have seen the previous posts about the zipper causing tear on the canvas.. I’m a little scared. I wanna enjoy the psm as much as I can
I am glad I read this thread before getting it because I asked to swap the dustbag for the drawstring shoe bag and it is a perfect fit for a better dustbag! I also checked the alignment and such after reviewing things that were known issues. Thank you all for sharing!
I see! Not sure if my local boutique does it but I will bring back to the boutique and ask them to wax for me too! Yup, I agree this forum is really helpful! But sometimes seeing those bags with issues and poor alignment make me nervous and worry too. Thanks for sharing too!
Apparently, after 1-month use, I noticed a wear on the side tabs splitting apart. I took to the LV store in SF if I can quickly get this repair before it gets any worse since I've read lots of reviews on this thread that it happened a lot. They took it in for repair and got it around 3 weeks later. Luckily since I got it under a year, I didn't have to pay for a repair. But just let you guys know it cost $90 to repair the side tabs, which I honestly think it's ridiculous. lol.
You guys I’m so excited. After being told at least a year wait (if even able to get it at all) at home in Vancouver and going to 8+ stores while I’m travelling.. I finally found it in Cannes. The only one and everyone there was like vultures watching me and being so close hoping I didn’t get it, waiting to swoop in but I’m in love and I feel so lucky I can’t even believe I found her. I don’t know how to post pictures on my phone but she’s great and the alignment is pretty perfect too, though I don’t think I would’ve passed if it wasn’t because it was so hard to find ahah I’m finally one of you guys!!
Just got mine yesterday!
Had a question about the weight distribution - since it hangs at a slight angle due to the strap placement, would you all recommend placing less in it? I’m worried about the shape changing over time. Thank you in advance!

A simple fix for the zipper without bringing into the boutique all the time is to take a piece of wax paper used for baking and rub the teeth. It is safe and not as messy as beeswax or a bar of soap. The wax paper can safely be used on any zipper to make it glide more smoothly.
I have the PBM and I am a little more careful with it because of the issues I read here. But geez, that thing is so darn cute! Love it to pieces!
The wax paper works wonders!!! I used it on my pallas noir and now can open it with one hand on my shoulder as opposed to two. It made the zipper run like butter...
It seems to be hanging really low! I would adjust it so it's higher up on the body.
So I was just browsing in my lv boutique and saw a lady trying out a Palm Springs Mini! She didn’t get it and I asked the sa if I can see the bag. She was ready to sell it to me right then and there despite there being a long waitlist. Too bad I already ordered a MWT PSM or I would have jumped on the chance! It’s probaby for the best too since the alignment was terrible. LOL!
Thank you, will do! I’m just worried that all the constant pulling from the top will change the shape
I have a stiff zipper. This seems dumb... sorry if this is a stupid ask... but what is waxing the zipper? What does this entail and how does it help? Can any LV boutique, even a small one, do this in store on demand? I might need to get this done but the next LV boutique I’m at will be a small one and I don’t have a SA there.
