I thought someone had already your question yesterday? I believe they said that the ones that are made in the USA tend to have the handle more toward the back while those made in France have the handle over the flowers. Mine both have the handles toward the back like yours. It doesn’t affect the functionality of the bag so the handle placement doesn’t bother me. I’m keeping both of mine.
Hi guys I have my palm spring for over 3 years, I noticed the leather is peeling on the trim of the zipper? Is this suppose to happen? I have many older monogram bags and I have never seen this! Is this a defect or would I have to pay to get this fixed? Can someone help please, I really like this bag! 
nope not normal, hence why they made the new model. please take into lv store to be assessed and they'll probably give you a new one
Don't mean to upset anyone here but the same issue happens on the new model too.. I guess the zipper pull should not be touching the canvas AT ALL if they wanna really solve it for good. 
Hi there I think this is a common problem with this bag and was the reason they changed the zipper. I’m
seriously!!?!? I literally just received my bag today but I’m gonna wait until my birthday next week to open. I’m contemplating whether to keep it now. 
First congrats on your bag.Hi there I think this is a common problem with this bag and was the reason they changed the zipper. I’m
PSM is like a gamble. It happens on mine but it might not happen on yours...
If you love that PSM, you could still use it for like 1-2 years (there's a certain time window for LV to accept canvas peeling as defect) until this issue appears, then you could still say goodbye and send it back.
However like I posted it some pages ago, the corners do peel over time inevitably.
I got palm spring mini few days ago. I feel like your bag has zipper way closer to canvas. Mine is a little further. Mine doesn’t seem to scratch canvas at all
Just after your post I went to see some pictures of PSM that were posted here, some are just like mine too and some have zipper that much further that even the canvas that sewed to the canvas is visible.
Oh well now we have one more spot to look at when we buy this bag
It's different to find out why. I would say the canvas now is different..but as for designs, some older bags have design flaws or should I say 'inevitable wear & tear" too. For example, the 2 sides on the Tivoli, where the canvas tucked in and arched up can wear terribly.
let just say some designs should have never been made with canvas to begin with....
Yes, I have seen a similar issues with the bumbag because I was debating between that and the psm. If you fold up the flap above the main compartment when opening the bag many people seem to say that prevents wear, but continually folding the flap can tear the corners when the flat is stitched so It’s a tricky one.
