Congrats! And so lucky especially to get the new design. I’ve had the old and now my daughter has the new and the new one is so much easier to use the zip and the flap opening. They are both soft not stiff. It looks good and the loop hasn’t been sewn on crooked it’s just out of shape from storage in transit. Keep pulling it straight into shape and sitting the bag down to lean on it. You may need to warm up in sunlight to soften firstI’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!

Hi everyone . Just wanted to share .. after purchasing the new version PSM, I saw on YT the recently released adjustable Bandouliere SKU (J02465) and managed to purchase it. It’s extremely comfortable on the shoulders n so versatile with 3 adjustable lengths. Here are the mod shots. For Ref, I’m 5”1
I also included mod shot of Alma bb on the shortest length. I’m sure it can also work with pochette Métis . The PSM length is on 2nd setting .
thanks for letting me share. Have a good day.

I just exchanged my 2016 old model, made in Spain, psm yesterday. I had some fraying on the strap hooks and one of loose threading on one of my straps. I brought it in for repairs and within 3 months of bringing it in... Lv still didn't call me to let me know repairs were ready. I called cs and they didn't have any information on it so cs said that my local boutique would contact me. When they contacted me, they said repairs were "done" and my bag was "ready". They shipped the bag to me and when I received it, repairs were not done properly. The fraying was still there and they just tied the loose thread. I wrote a poor review on the repair they did. My local lv called and I explained why I was not happy with their service. They gave me options. I could send in my bag for repairs again. Or they could give me new straps to use the bag with the fraying and wait for a new bag to exchange. I decided to wait for a brand new psm. Because it was an exchange, I was prioritized. I was offered 2 old style psm before I was offered this new style psm. Overall look wise... The old style looks better. But functional wise... The new style is wayyyyyy better. It was such a tough decision for me but I am so glad I chose the new style. To be honest, I've never had any issues with cracking on the canvas of my old style psm, but I think it's cause I just never closed it!

Hi guys,
I am not sure if I should return or keep this palm spring mini (new model), the alignment on the front is off. Also, I'm not sure if my handle at the top is uneven. Should i keep it or return? What do you guys think?
For those who own the new PSM, is the small pocket zipper tag the same size as the big zipper tag to open the big pocket? Because both of my zipper tags to pull open are the same size...I am not sure if thats normal since the old model is two different size tags

I’m looking at mines and both zippers are different sizes, the front pocket one being smaller than the main zipper
Where is your PSM made in? Mines made in USA. I think i might return it because the sides are off too when i looked at other people new models. here is mines:

I don't think the sides will ever align because the two pieces of canvas arent going in the same direction.
yeah but i looked at other new models pics in this thread and their flowers are touching at least
Three months after i got my beloved PSM, the canvas on the lip covering the zip is starting to peel. 
So sad especially considering all the effort taken to find it.
I have enquired about a replacement with the new model but boutique hasn't got any in yet (they are showing the new SKU in the system but receiving the old model still -- not sure how this is even possible?).
Honestly if the new version hadn't been launched, i would have been in a serious dilemma on what to exchange it with.

Hey guys, I just received my brand new Palm Springs Mini and noticed this teeny tiny crack in the canvas on the left side of zipper on the lip, towards the bottom. It is very tiny and cannot be seen to the naked eye. I only noticed after focusing a light on the area and inspecting closely. Just wanted your thoughts/any advice if this is an issue and if I should return/exchange or should I just overlook this as this bag was so hard to get a hold of.
Is this normal for a brand new bag? And do you think it’ll become a problem in the future?
Thanks!

to the cuts.but there is other issues i see, why is there a second scrap below the cut and why is the flower already peeling on the flap. that’s something that would warrant a return for me
has anyone in canada managed to get the new model yet?
