Girl whaaat!? I had the exact problem, peeling edges around the zipper line? I’m petrified using it now because it’s my baby! It’s great to see a fellow Aussie here though, thanks for helping me out xo

A pleasure hun! Yes, so great that we're both in Aus! Let me know how you go with the reverse!! Sending you good luck! :heart:
 
Fellow aussie here too! :wave: Do you have photos of the defect? hunting for one and would def want to know what to look out for.

Hi fellow Aussie :wave: !!
I don't think it's something that can be detected when you're purchasing. It's something that developed with use, albeit minimal use. I love it so much though! I couldn't imagine not having it in my collection :biggrin:
 
Oh my, are you from Australia lovely? Definitely gonna ring them tomorrow!

Also, I had 2 PSM, one made in France, one from Spain and pretty positive that all the France made PSM datecodes was located outside of the pocket whilst the Spain was inside the pocket! Definitely normal.
When I got mine and it was just released the tag was inside the pocket. After 3 exchanges due to defect my last one made in 2017 it was located outside the pocket lower corner.
 
View attachment 4041498 Well today it happened. My black little tab began to separate. :sad: 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.

Hi, though it’s been awhile.. I would like to know if you managed to repair the tabs or exchange your psm? I had mine for few months and carried it only a few times, today I realized that 1 of my tab has glazing issue and starting to fray abit.. I’m quite worry :(

I asked my SA and they didn’t have a repair and a price in the system for just the tabs. She said she could put in an inquiry to see if they could fix just one or both tabs and he cost. She advised waiting until it gets worse and/or I have another repair on the bag.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I see. Are you still using your psm with the splitting tab? Does it get worst or still in the same state? I’m still under 1 year warranty as I bought in July this yr. mine is not that bad as of now but comparing to my another tab I can clearly see the glazing is abit rub off (not sure if the pic is clear enough)

I hope it won’t get worst :(

I’m still using it and it’s fine. Maybe gotten a bit worse but not too noticeable or bad enough for me to bring it back in. I don’t think there is a warranty per say on LV bags. If the rest of the bag is in excellent condition and it’s clear you care for your bags I’ve found that they’ll repair or replace it, often for free, at any time no matter the year. It might be easier for them to reglaze it now before it starts to pull apart like mine has.
 
I was out this evening and noticed that the top of my Palm Springs has split!!! :( never had an issue like this with LV before, has anybody else? I got it at the end of February this year, I’m going to take it into store this week and see what they can do.. soooooo gutted! I just don’t understand how it could have happened because I baby my bags, it’s definitely not been cut by anything. Does anyone have any experience with LV in returning faulty things? I don’t even want a refund because I love this bag, I just want a new one!

That's not a split... that's a crack and it is in a very common place for the palm springs backpacks to crack because of how the canvas is folded over there to form the edge. Are you careful with the zipper? Since the bag is <1 year old you if the rest of it looks like new you might get lucky and get a replacement. From your photo, it looks like the design on the canvas is also kind of worn off on that edge. Or it could be a shadow. Take it to a SA you have a good relationship with.
 
Hii , does LV have different canvas. My palmsprings is more vibrant that my other bag. Is it a common thing? Palm springs canvas are different ?
Im afraid that my bag are fake so i authenticated it from “ProAuthenticators” on facebook and they say that it is authentic .

LV do have different canvas depending on the style of the bag. My Graceful feels very soft and bendable cuz is a hobo bag.
