Here's a picture of what happened to my first PSM reverse. It looks similar to the problem you're having. I had a hard time getting anything from LV because for the longest time they claimed that I had spilled chemicals on my handbag and that's why it was peeling. I finally kept insisting something be done and they let me exchange it for another one. My new one hasn't had any problems as of yet, but to be honest I haven't used it all that much since. I don't see how this can be repaired, because it's the actual canvas. Granted I am not an expert.
Hi everyone,
I picked up my palm spring mini at the boutique tonight because I ordered it online and had it arranged as store pick up As I opened it in the store, the straps came in a ziploc bag and the booklet. The bag along with an air cushion. I found this a little weird but has anyone else ordered recently and had the same experience? Thank you!

Still deciding to keep it or not. The size is really throwing me off. 2k for such a small piece that I’m not sure how much use I will really get out of it. I love the ps pm but the straps are too Backpack-ish. I want to love it but I’m still unsure.
Yes, I just bought my Boite Chapeau Souple and the strap, lock and key & care booklet was in a ziploc bag... I also bought it online and I had in shipped out to the store.
Yes! Completely normal. I’m sad my reverse didn’t come with the air cushions this time, but it’s bexsuze another store shipped it to me rather than CS
Hi ladies! I'd greatly value your opinion here.
I'm not usually a huge LV fan, but I've fallen in love with images of the PSM I've seen all over social media. It's so unique/adorable/perfect for everyday casual use. I went into my local LV boutique today and the SA informed me that one had just come in this morning. I was ecstatic until I saw it and immediately noticed that the canvas bubbles out/creases oddly on the right side (last photo). The SA assured me that this was from packaging and would even out "with wear." I spoke to another store SA and the manager who both told me the same thing. I asked if there was another one available in store and she said no. She said they could not ship one from another boutique either as it was "first come, first serve." According to her these bags are hard to come by, and she made it seem like the bag would be gone soon - so I walked out with it. I didn't even think to check bag alignment, and I see the front pocket isn't perfectly aligned with the bag.
Do you ladies see any noticeable defects, and what are your thoughts on the one side's puffiness? Would you return this one due to defects, and hope to come across another one? Would you exchange it for the World Tour version, which is available online? Or just keep this one the way it is, because they really are that "hard to come by?"
Thanks in advance!

I personally think it looks fine, you can always stuff the bag when not in use. However, this bag isn't a structure bag and with use the bag will soften accordingly. I would return if you're not 100% happy.
Thanks for the input. I think overall it looks fine too, I'm not really too concerned about the alignment so long as there are no real defects and the bag eventually does soften the bump out. I took it out and played with the straps tonight, and I'm actually excited about all the ways I could wear it!
I love the versatility of the bag, it fits everything I need. I wore it both crossbody as well as backpack everyday on my 3 week holiday and it was amazing in both sunny singapore weather and rainy days in japan
I think that since this is not a structured bag the puffiness of the side will change when you start to use it. The only other thing that I’d check is the corners on the end of the zipper. I found that they were ‘cracked’ on the first PSM that I got. View attachment 4365911
I noticed the cracking was discussed previously in this thread, but for the life of me I don't see what people are talking about. Maybe my eyes are bad. Also, your pic says I don't have permission to view, would you mind posting again? That may help me see what the "cracking" is. [emoji4]
