Thanks for all of the photos of the new model. i'm going to hope and pray my old model stays in tact because I much prefer that to the new.

Yes, I do much prefer the old version to the new one. The new one does actually look kind of cheap and smaller. 80% I will return the new one. However, I still want to keep both for now. Maybe when I get familiar with the look of the new one, I change my mind! (hard to undersrtand women!!! )

Thank you for the pics. I Probably shouldn’t have ordered the replacement then. Looks like a design thing that me now Atleast on the reverse. They don’t have the new model monogram online yet. Just the old one. I do like the new model because I don’t have to worry about getting the zipper caught on the sleeve but now I have a new thing to worry about lol. If that cut will worsen with time and use . :/Hello PSM Lovers,
I've just got the new reverse PSM today. Mine has 2 cuts at the zipper corners. Also, the new one looks thinner than the old model. I took side by side pictures for your easy comparision. To be honest, even though the zipper of the new version is super smooth but aesthetically, the old model looks prettier and more secured due to the zipper hidden inside.
I'm now struggling on which one to return..
After looking at mine with a flash light and under a magnifying glass I can see REALLY tiny cuts in those areas at the zipper. They are super tiny but they are there. Not as big as on your bag though.
I would expect this to be normal as it's a tight curve. Obviously it's not as big as it seems in the pictures as you've zoomed in. This would avoid a crack in the canvas later on. I like that it's easier to open and close and if the flap opens up more it would be so much easier to get thing in and outHello PSM Lovers,

When I called LV yest to enquire, they said new design was to rectify zipper which was causing the canvas around it to crack with frequent opening n closing. Zipper also ends higher up to decrease chance of fraying of tiny tabs at the side.
personally I’m for the new design n glad I had this over the old one . I wouldn’t want to have to face cracking n fraying issues sooner than I have to . But that’s just me.
this is file photo of old version ...

Btw, does anyone think that adding hanging charms on the main zipper will increase the fraying of leather tabs on both sides?
any thoughts ??

Yes, I'm loving the new version! I like how the new zipper looks and it is SOOOO easy to open and close. I understand people like how the old version looks but I think part of that is just being used to the way it looks. I think as time goes on people will become accustomed to the new look. For me this is a casual bag so being more casual looking works.
I think anything hanging and rubbing increases the odds, but I wouldn't let that stop me from dressing my bag up if that is what I like! It's a bag.......enjoy it! I have decided to stop treating my bags like fine china and ENJOY them! Don't get me wrong, I don't mean I would just fling them around but I'm going to stop treating them as though they are priceless or not replaceable.
Over here in Singapore it’s almost impossible to get your hands on PSM unless you’re on waiting list. And resellers are selling way over retail. I lucked out when I saw this online so I think it doesn’t hurt to see how the new version holds out. Anyway they can repair for free if it’s within 1 yr.
I just got the new model PSM in regular monogram today. Here are some comparison pics between the old & new models. The older one does look prettier to me and the canvas feels more sturdy. But the new zipper is a lot more practical and smooth

May I ask those of you who post 2 PSM here, did you buy 2, or exchanging one defective one for the other?
Thank you for the close up comparison pictures ! I have the older version in reverse.. I don't like the look of the new one at all ! the zipper in the older version doesn't bother me much to be honest
Both are mine. I plan to either sell the older one or return the new one
