LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

[MooMooVT]

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

Question. Looking at the alignment of the LV pattern, the new bag seems slightly narrower than the old model. In your second picture you can see the LV and other design (sorry, not the flower but the other one - don't know the formal name) are both cut off by the stitching where the older model they're not touched. Is the new bag slightly smaller in this regard or am I missing something? You can see it in the 5th pic as well. Or maybe it's just past my bedtime.

the newer one is slightly smaller and lighter

May I ask those of you who post 2 PSM here, did you buy 2, or exchanging one defective one for the other?

I own both old and new versions right now and there is a high possibility that I will return the new version.

Its not an obvious cut but it’s there where the stitching ends on either sides plus the zipper is stitched slightly up leaving some gap. I didn’t think much of it considering it could be the design itself but i don’t see it in your version. Any inputs? Part of the design or no?

I looked at mine, doesn't have these very obvious cuts

The new model is 100% easier to use than the old models (I had two old models before), I would take the new model over the old model in a heart beat no matter how better looking the old model was.

@V_vee @speedturner Here is mine, MIF 4119, and it is the new model. Mine is identical in stitching and zipper gaps to @V_vee. Alignment looks great and zipper is so smooth. Finally, a one handed zipper.

Reminder that LV limits two purchases per year of the same sku. So keep that in mind if your PSM is not to your liking. Not suggesting anyone settle if unhappy with the bag.

Thank you @EmmJay . The pics helps. I wasn’t that worried until I saw mentions Here that there wasn’t a cut. I am 100% more comfortable with the new zipper than my older one and would chose it over the previous version. I should have just kept it and not made a reorder. Hate the hassle of making a return. It’s already shipped and hoping this fiasco doesn’t cause undue trouble ugh!

I'm so sorry I misled you on the zipper corner cuts. Mine really are so tiny you can't see them. They are much smaller than yours. Maybe your second bag will have smaller cuts and you can chose which is a better bag. Again, I apologize for being part of your hassle of returning one.

Oh no no!You were only trying to help and I truly appreciate it. So sorry if it sounded like I don’t! I agree it will be nice to see if a get one with a less conspicuous cut. Fingers crossed!
I only meant I should have left it alone without checking every nook and corner . Like the sides aren’t perfectly aligned and I am okay with that. Same should have been the case with the cuts since it looks like a design change. Like a out of sight out of mind thing if you get what I mean lol. Again I truly appreciate the inputs.

My new version monogram PSM just arrived today. I posted here again side by side pics for your easy comparision. I so far have 4 PSM (1 old mono, 1 old reverse, 1 new mono and 1 new reverse). The 2 new PSM have corner cuts, look a bit smaller, and less sturdy. Also, if you look at the back of the new version, it is not fully puffy.

The only plus for the new version is the zipper, super smooth! But it's just me. So many people still like the new version more than the old one!

My decision is to keep 2 bags: 1) the old version of the reverse and 2) the new version of the mono. The reason why while I much prefer the old version to the new one but I decided to return the old and keep one new version of the mono is because the mono is what I will use more and the zipper of the new version is smoother and more practical.

Thank you so much for providing a thorough review and comparison pics. The size difference could be attributed to one being worn and one being new. Canvas stretches over time, especially if it is always used at its capacity or is in a humid environment. I’m not saying that these things are specific to your bags.

Thanks EmmJay for your reading and response. Actually, all of the backpacks are new. I ordered the 2 old version backpacks (monogram and reverse) just one week before the 2 new version backpacks because I did not know there would be new version coming! Now I have to return 2 and keep 2 as mentioned in previous post.

Here are some comparison shots between two PSM Reverse ordered two days apart. Hope they help someone making the decision! Note: the new model is stuffed with packaging, old model is not.
