LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

[ambrose1985]

Saw this bag in person for the first time today. Never considered it before but was amazed at how light weight it was and how well it wears as a crossbody.

The zipper is my only concern, it doesnt open as easily / smoothly because of the curvy. Or could be a good thing since it doesnt open easily? Just feel like I couldnt access things quickly when I need to.

Anyone else have the same apprehension but decide to go for it anyway?

And if you can't wait for it to smoothen over time, use wax to rub over the teeth of the zippers.

Have you seen photos of the new model that's coming out? The zip looks way more accessible so I think would be easier to open?

Ive seen plenty of youtubers opening their PSM and it does look fussy. I'm waiting for the new model too, I actually like it! (some people don't like the look of the zipper being exposed)

I got mine today too in Nashville, TN!! It was made in the US, the 18th week this year. Wonder why it takes so long to hit stores?

Ah good to know! How are tour straps where it loops the d ring? I find mine the glazing is so so, like it'll peel pretty quickly. Not sure if it's normal or not.

I felt the same way about the zipper sort of being an inconvenience but in the end I went with it. I kind of like the security - I'm not often going into my bag, typically for my cell phone if anything (mainly in my pockets). I also ordered a key chain to help locate the zipper easier. Hope this helps!

Well...My zipper is still rough to zip and unzip even after 2 years. No idea why. I've used it a lot already. It doesn't bother me anymore.

LV waxed it for me--very smooth. I also attached a small keychain to the zipper pull rather than trying to grab the small pull.

Hi All, my SA just sent me a pic of the mini backpack, and I still can't tell if it's the newer model or the current model? She said it's the newer model since they have just received it today, but the zipper doesn't look exposed. So, to me, it still looks like the current model?

That’s the older model

Personally I like the older model despite the issues it has.

Thanks for your responses! I'm surprised LV is still shipping out the older models -- I thought they would have phased them out by now for the newer models to come out. I've been obsessed with this bag and calling everywhere for it. I think I really want the newer model, and from reading the messages here, it sounds like they will be out end of September? So, maybe I should just stop calling now and just wait for the newer model to come out and then call again?

def the older model. they’re due out any day now, but they’re still selling the older model. i’ve seen it go live on the website everyday now

Hmm, I'm still seeing the older models on the US LV website, and it's always out of stock. Where are you seeing the newer models?
