Forgive me if this question has already been asked....
I got my PSM a about 2 months ago, and I hardly ever carry it because I HATE the zipper. I have tried everything to make it work better and it just stinks. It is SO hard to open and close. So I carry this bag for a couple of days then put it back in my closet. So my question is.... Will LV exchange my bag for the new version if I don't have anything "officially wrong" (cracking etc) But want the new version for the new zipper? I am planning on going into the LV store this week.
No definitely not! they won't exchange just because the zipper annoys you. You may as well sell it and wait until a new version comes available to purchase
 
No, I don't think so. You're past the return time frame.

Thank you. I kind of figured this...but thought I would check with you guys.

I did just do a close inspection of my bag in case I missed any defaults.... and it is perfect, so I guess I'm stuck :rolleyes:. I just need to decide what to do.

Hi! I would take it in to the store to show them how difficult it is for you to use the zipper on the bag. It is unrealistic for them to expect you to use something that has a design flaw. I had this issue on a bumbag that was beyond the return period. My CA replaced my bumbag for me. They cannot say no unless you ask. I’ve never not been taken care of by LV if I’ve had an issue with my bags.
Also, another member sent me a PM about the magnet on her favorite. It was very weak and it was beyond the return period. I suggested she take it in to the store. The first store told her the magnet was fine. She took it to another store and the CA agreed with her that the magnet was very weak. She received a store credit and bought something else.
Good luck!

I need opinion help you guys. I picked up my PSM about a week ago and while most of the bag is perfect, the pocket flap alignment is off. I went through this entire thread looking at other ppl’s PSM and it seems majority have pretty good alignment. I do agree that in the end it’s really what I am comfortable with but then I keep changing my mind daily. I really want to start using the bag but haven’t yet in case I want to exchange. I also already ordered a second PSM and while that bag’s flap alignment was perfect, I found several other issues with it that the CA also noticed so I returned the new one right away. The CA suggest I come in the store when they open but there’s no guarantee they’ll have new ones in store and I live about 30 minutes away from my closest LV. So now I’m back to trying to convince myself I am ok with this misalignment. Would anyone be kind to share if this would be ok for them or they would return/exchange? My mind keeps changing on me that I think I’m going crazy so would appreciate other people’s inputs. Thanks!

Mine looks similar but it doesn’t bother me. I bought the Pochette Métis way before I started reading the posts and turned out mine is very lopsided but I never noticed before! Lol. But if it bothers you now it might continue to bother you later. So maybe wait for a different one? They are not hard to find. My store has at least one in every day.

I remember seeing your replacement and thought it looked pretty good! Clearly it did bother me because I ordered a replacement but that ended up being a waste of time. And I guess now I'm wondering if I'm overreacting and deep down I think I can be ok with it. It's the whole a 2k bag should be perfection internal struggle. So if you guys don't think its too flawed then I can come to peace with it. This one is also made in France so maybe we have the same artisan lol

soooooooo i'm having an issue lol. i got a replacement for my peeling monogram v1 but in reverse (i had this in the old version at one point too, but let it go) and new model. got a message from my girl telling me that she has one in monogram now and i could exchange it if really want the monogram still. im so torn, i'm definitely not going to invest in the bag agan in two colors (it'll always have some issue). but im conflicted, do i keep the reverse or do i get the monogram? what would you do?

:confused1:

I chose the mono bc the reverse was just too much reverse for me. The mono works better with my wardrobe. Also, the reverse reminded me of peanut butter and I couldn’t unsee it.
 
Forgive me if this question has already been asked....
I got my PSM a about 2 months ago, and I hardly ever carry it because I HATE the zipper. I have tried everything to make it work better and it just stinks. It is SO hard to open and close. So I carry this bag for a couple of days then put it back in my closet. So my question is.... Will LV exchange my bag for the new version if I don't have anything "officially wrong" (cracking etc) But want the new version for the new zipper? I am planning on going into the LV store this week.

after buying mine, i used it constantly (more than a few times a week) and after only three months i noticed slight peeling on the canvas where the zipper is... so my advice is, just keep using the bag and see if the peeling happens and then you will have grounds for an exchange.

I use a bag charm on my zipper. 100 times better to zip and unzip :lol: I just hold the bag charm to zip/unzip it.
