My SA sent me this picture of a new release bag coming soon. I’m not a backpack gal but this is pretty cute. Just wanted to share!
I like the concept but not the execution. Here’s how I’d would have designed it: I’d have taken off the colored stickers and left just the raised gold shiny stickers. I’d have only made stickers if canvas designs. These gold stickers instead of them being randomly placed I would have put them over their corresponding parts of the monogram canvas and in line and aligned. So there would be like one gold quatrefoil on the side, a gold LV on the front, etc. The colors and hearts and random placement is just too cutesy for men
 
I got my PSM today I got it shipped from Ohio all the way to California it took a week the suspense was killing me . Here is some pictures of the tabs it was made in Spain . The leather tabs seem to not be in good shape , I went into the LV store and the girl told me that it’s “leather so it’s nothing to worry about “ and as u can see one is. Crooked . There is no option of exchange or option on getting on a wait list at my local store so I have no options ... I don’t know if this is normal .
And now wearing it around the house I’m kind of scared to even use it it seems super fragile I just can’t use it like other purses I feel like I have to baby it and I don’t have time for it I’ve also read test the canvas cracks and lether tabs Frey I’m scared to even use it ....

Thankfully after insisting yet again that they at least look at my bag, LV gave me a credit. It never sat right with me that the first time I was told I spilled acetone on the bag and they wouldn’t even consider looking at it. I still don't get where they came up with the story of me spilling acetone on the bag! Didn’t see anything else that caught my eye but they got another reverse PSM in today so I did an even exchange. I honestly think the bag is super versatile and I love it. Just going to accept it, flaws and all.


What happened to your bag ?
 
What was wrong w your bag ?

There was nothing wrong with my bag, I was just so surprise how quickly they sold. But I can tell you after using it 4-5 times this last month, I can already see signs of wear. The glazing on my front leather tabs is already starting to wear. Also I think because I wear mine as a crossbody the bottom left leather tab behind the bag is worn from grazing against my body while I walk. That being said, I still love the bag. I've accepted its flaws and will be wearing it when I travel, its still under warranty so I'll just see how it goes.

My Palm Springs mini backpack arrived today and I am not sure I love it :sad:

Has anyone felt like this and then changed their mind? I don’t know whether to return it or not. I have a Michael Kors mini backpack which is the same size as PSM but actually with a useful front pocket rather the the pointless one on PSM. I’m also concerned about the awkward zip. I love the bag itself, just not sure if I will get put off by the negative points. Anyone else feel the same?

I saw it in person and felt the same. The zipper was so stiff and I don’t get the point of the front compartment if you can’t fit anything inside it. Plus the straps are so long that it only looks good crossbody, not as an actual backpack.

Yes, totally agree with you. It is a flimsy bag and actually kind of pointless as it is awkward to fit things in and, like you say, the front pocket is useless. You could maybe put a house key in and that’s it. I am done with this bag!

What’s wrong with it? Looks good to me.

This bag has a really interesting following.... much beloved and sought after for a bag that is outrageously priced for the size and issues with alignment and wear that people are posting.... even the well known you tubers admit that the front pocket is essentially useless and the zipper is stiff... LV is lucky that so many followers get swept up in the hype!! Despite all of this I think it is adorable however my budget is such that I can’t afford what seems like a frivolous luxury item... no judgements intended!!!
