LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

[LiveLaughLVoe]

To my surprise, I think I’ll be returning the old model. I thought I preferred the look of it, but now that I have the new one in-hand, I’m finding it just as beautiful. I don’t mind the zipper - maybe because it blends in more naturally with the reverse canvas than the mono. I know that’s counterintuitive since reverse is less traditional, but imo, the zipper’s gold is much more striking against the mono’s dark canvas.

Added bonus: my new model is Made in France, and old one is Made in US. I’m noticing a trend that most of the batch popping up on the forum is MIF. As others have mentioned, the new one is also much more practical and easier to open.

I think I’ll be returning the old model. Though I thought I preferred the old model, I am enjoying the new model much more in person than I was in photos. It’s just as beautiful to me.

Added bonus: my new model is Made in France, and old one is Made in US (following the trend of last posts, seems the current batch is MIF). The new model is also much easier to open.

I saw one in store today (new model psm) also made in france !

Yeah, my 2 new version (mono and reverse) both made in France! Seems that new version is made in France!

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.

Wow!! That’s crazy.

I just watches the YouTube video. Is the bottom loop of the bag really a scarf holder? I had no idea!

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 ordered the reverse this morning. Is yours the monogram?

Haha I have to admit I got too excited when I saw it was available. I already have the PM in reverse mono. Not sure if a PS in same print would be too similar

Sigh. I miss my PM in mono. Had 2 monogram ones but both developed problems, in the end had to exchange it for an empriente one. Thinking if I should get it if it appears, but I already have 2 PMs in empreinte...

I would love to here an update on this after a few wears I have a PM in mono but after wearing PSM reverse I’m debating selling it and getting PM reverse. Love this color

They still haven’t put on the new version yet.

My daughter just got the New Version and it's sooo much better! Looks great and zipper so easy! The flap opens better too

I’ve been dying for the PSM for about a year now, but was always out of luck and was told it was sold out everywhere. I randomly walk into LV in Nordstrom and ask the SA (whom I’ve once worked with before, who will now be my forever SA ) just out of curiosity if they had the PSM in stock, he does a little smirk and pulls one out from the back he proceeds to tell me that this is a new design with the zipper and it’s the only one in store!! Date code on this bag is FL3139. I was a little hesitant about it at first because I wanted to compare it with other ones, and I just felt like the monogram didn't pop out as much and looked dull, and the leather was a bit on the softer side, whereas I was expecting it to be a little stiffer, but I pulled the gun and bought it anyways just because I’ve been dying for this bag. The zipper on this bag is buttery smooth. I inspected it a little more as I got home and notice that the leather scarf loop looks crooked? I want some opinions on how the lining with the monogram looks on the front pocket, and just overall structure and shape of the bag. This is my second time seeing this bag in person and would like some expert opinions! Debating if I’m just being overly picky and return it or keep this bag. Here are some photos!
