LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

[LVlover13]

I walked into the store this morning knowing I will be getting the alma bb in DE. Well as soon as I saw her sitting on the shelf like waiting for me to pick her, I forgot about everything! She was on the shelf right in front of me! So of course she went home with her new lover!

yes, the older version, made in US (Texas), bought online and received it about 3 weeks ago.

i have this bump too! mine is the new model made in France date code FL3139. I just exchanged it for the second time so i'm going to live with it as otherwise it is fine.

I was enjoying my vacation in NYC when I realised my Mini Palm Spring was torn up



Went straight to my boutique as soon as I was back and they took it for repair - this will take up to 10 weeks...

SA told me that it was a known issue with the stitching of the zipper

Omglob! That sucks.... I'm assuming this is the version with the old zipper?

Hi Everyone!
I recently was lucky enough to get my hands on a brand new palm springs mini online. However, when I received it, I noticed the stitching on the front seems to be uneven. I've never bought a bag brand new before so I'm not really sure what is acceptable or not so I was wondering if anyone had any tips/advice/suggestions on whether this is an issue I should bring the bag into the store for or if this is to be expected/not a big deal and I should just keep the bag as is.

I think this is normal.

Hi!
So I found this older model but the alignment in the front is slightly off centered. Plus I think I want the newer model because the zipper is smoother right? But I am not sure when the new model is available? So should I take this or wait? Thank you for you input!

I know people don't prefer the look of the new zipper. But the new zipper is way better. With the old zipper... I barely even zipped it up.

I don’t mind the look of the new zipper as long as it’s more functional. Thank you for confirming that!

What.. What day did you end up getting it?
I don’t deal with SA’s I deal with the Store Director and the first bag in that store was supposed to be going to me. So it means that they didn’t put the bag aside for her or didn’t notify her that it came in.

omg... i’m also waiting for my replacement due to a quality issue at the yorkdale store... they also told me i’m first on the waiting list and the first one is supposed to be mine since i have priority as its a replacement .... but i haven’t heard anything back. They offered me the old version as replacement before too but i wanted to wait for the new one

Just wondering when you guys sent the bag for repair & when they said they would replace it?

How long did you have to wait?

honestly it's just given nature of who i'm dealing with, i usually do have priority. that being said, i'm opting for a replacement another way. i'm not waiting on them getting it, she said she'll get it sorted it for me.

How long have you been waiting for one? It’s actually my second replacement I had it replaced beginning of the year due to the same issue & i waited like 3-4 months for the right one also.

I asked for an exchange around beginning of October and was offered the first bag (old zipper) on Oct 18th. I declined as I wanted the new zipper. Then on Oct 24th, I was offered another (old zipper). Again, declined. Then on Oct 28th, I was offered a new zipper psm.
I've never exchanged defected items at Louis Vuitton before so I thought this was quite quick... Considering this is a "high demand" item.
I did ask them how long it would take when I first asked for the exchange and of course, their answer was very vague. Couldn't give an actual answer as they said they didn't know for sure. But that I had priority.
So I'm quite happy with how quickly the exchanged happened as I really expected months.
How long have you been waiting for?

i've been waiting since september. offered two bags in the mean time and declined both because they're old model. i think i'm turning in this bag and just getting the reverse monogram in the new model, i like the look of it better than the regular mono anyways.
