Anyone had issues with the bag? Just saw slight fraying in the tab and mine is about a week old...

Yeah, had mine for about 2 months and the canvas all started peeling along the top. Was gutted as I loved the bag but the quality was shocking. In the end and after a long fight with the boutique I returned it and got my money back. My advice if it’s showing issues already
Is to take it back. It would appear that some of these bags have been made badly and some are ok. It’s just your luck which you get but if it’s fraying after a week it’s not a good sign.

That’s crazy, they didn’t want to return it? It’s funny I had three bags offered to me that week, but one already had some fraying on the black leather tab. This is some peeling at the leather where the d ring connects.

Yeah it was an unpleasant situation to say the least, they claimed it was wear and tear! Only through being very persistent did they agree to take pictures and send them to France but that’s because I point blank refused to back down. France came back saying it was a known defect and I had the option of taking another psm or getting my money back. Even though it’s been my favourite bag ever I chose to take my money back as I was so upset with the customer service.

Hello all, I was lucky enough to be offered this PS mini after 6 months of asking at my local store. (I'm from the UK so unfortunately it's never available online).

Unfortunately, the aligment is a bit off, especially the first fleur. The middle is also a bit off. The tab is also a bit crooked as you can see. Please ladies, let me know if I'm over reacting? What would you do? It's just that I've waited so long and the chances of me finding another one is very very slim.

Hello everyone,

After 6 months of asking for this bag at my local LV store, I got lucky and was offered this bag, made in Spain. I was so excited and immediately accepted it. However back home, on closer inspection, I saw that 2 of the fleurs at the front do not align. Especially the first one which I think is very obvious. It has made me very upset as I have waited such a long time for this and really wanted it to be perfect. I know that if I returned it the chances of me getting another one would be very very slim. However every time I look at this bag, my eyes are immediately drawn to the first fleur...

Ladies, please let me have your thoughts. What would you do?

If that is what you see when you look at it return it before the return window is up and you can’t. I do see them pop up on the us site so maybe try that vs waiting for a store to get it. I think it is too much money to spend to not be completely happy with it. Also in your picture on the right side of the flap covering the small zipper pocket is that a piece of canvas peeling up? It could be the lighting or angle.

It wouldn’t bother me but that is if it was my bag. It’s your bag and it bothers you and it’s the first thing you see. I would return it and watch the website for it to pop up again. Don’t spend a lot of $$$ to feel unsatisfied. Do yourself a favor and return it ASAP.

If you're unhappy with it, no amount of convincing on our part would make you happy. If it bothers you it is best to return as it's your bag.

I really think it is a very very minor issue of alignment and you only really notice it if you are staring at it endless in my opinion and then it will drive you insane for no reason.
If you're not happy with it return it and try to find another one.

I can see the misalignment (im good at it lol) BUT one will not "see" it anymore after some use. Since it's your bag it's best to ask yourself if you can unsee it or even best being oblivious to it when wearing it. It's an expensive purchase so nett nett you should like to ask yourself if you'll be happy owning this particular piece.

I would say - don't pay attention to what other people think about your bag - follow your instinct, it's your bag and it should be making you happy :angel:

But to me, since you posted here, I think that it bothered you and made you uncomfortable - and that's not how you should feel about a luxury item, it should be pure joy :flowers:
