I happen to have found a Palms Spring mini. Just wanted you guys opinion on how it looks? Does any defects stand out at all? How about the zipper area? Thanks so much for any help anyone can give!

Depending on how picky you are with details...the only thing I noticed is the front pocket not perfectly aligned with the bag pattern wise.
Thank you sooo much for your input. I called the SA right away after reading your response and at first she didn’t notice the difference. She mentioned to me that she has two in stock and would send me pictures of the two she did have to compare the difference. After taking the pics, she did notice the difference and mentioned to me that it can be hard for the “artists” to get the pattern aligned correctly because it’s a new piece of the bag!! Now I don’t know what to do?

Just decide on which one you can live with or not bother you. The bags will have a "flaw". To me as long as it is not major like a missing stitch, hole or cracked canvas. I have the reverse psm and some stitches were not as straight as I like it to be but I am ok with it.
May I ask where your store/SA is located? I'm curious if this is the same one I returned this past weekend. I was lucky enough to be able to order one via online, but ultimately returned it because the mismatch of the pattern had bothered me and I found the zipper a bit difficult. I was lucky enough to be able to locate another one with a smoother zipper and better alignment. I didn't know if this is the same one, but just wanted to give a heads up in case. If anyone is looking, just an FYI, I have seen the bag as "add to bag" multiple times these past 2 weeks and have been able to locate the bags this way!
It seems all the recent ones have been MIU, not sure if any MIF are available.The store is in Hackensack, New Jersey. I’ve been trying to grab one online but wasn’t successful in doing so. I’ve tried all different times throughout the day and night. Even refreshing the page. I’ve gotten lucky with the Pochette Metris twice online (add to bag) recently but that was about it. Please let me know if NJ was the store you returned the bag to.
The SA also did mention the zipper being a bit hard as well, now that I think of it. She also said that, if I found the zipper a bit hard to get into they would be able to “wax it” or “oil it” if I can remember correctly. For the life of me I don’t understand why a bag that is in such high demand has so many issues??!
It was not! It was South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. I was just curious since the alignment looked very similar to the one I returned. They might have even sold it already - no idea. I returned it yesterday afternoon. Best of luck in finding the perfect PSM for you.
I agree about the many many issues of the bag. The one I ended up keeping, although alignment was much better and zipper is smoother, it came with a bunch of glue all over it. -_- My fiance had to clean it up a bit, but crazy that it comes that way!
Hi ladies! I have a Palm Springs mini - and the bottom has some what of a spot I just noticed- do you guys have any idea of what this may be? Was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. I’m gonna take it to Louis Vuitton tomorrow ans see what it may be or if it can be cleaned.

Looking at it I don't think this can be cleaned. The canvas seems like it sat on something hot and melted the protective layer?? I can see there is a texture change where some areas got flattened out. Good luck and I hope they can do something about it.
Was this not one of the issues that caused the recall on the PM? Looks melted!
I am so sorry for you, I would definetly get that fixed!
Woohoo! My collection to make my palm spring mini backpack looking complete is finally there after getting the additional bag strap and the key chain holder for it
