Do these things bother you? Do you think they will bother you six months from now? If so, return and try again may be something to consider

They kind of do. I'm thinking of returning it just in case a better one comes along. I don't have experience with returning so that's something that kinda scares me, haha. Thank you for your reply!Do these things bother you? Do you think they will bother you six months from now? If so, return and try again may be something to consider
Mine is out for delivery today. I’ll post mine later tonight or tomorrow since my LV UPS deliveries push 8-9pm every time. Then you/we could compare.They kind of do.

If I were you I’d keep it. THE ONLY thing ( and it’s really minor ) is that little stitch going up but the rest looks good! I understand the front alignment is not perfect but take a day to look at it and see how you feel about it - it really is not bad at all. I’d also stuff if with air paper for tonight and see how those canvas areas look tomorrow. Canvas is very pliable and you might be pleasantly surprised in a day or two.
I’m yet to see an ideal EVERYTHING in any PSM. Yours looks beautiful - so congratulations!
I feel sometimes we inspect them too closely. I’ll be doing the same tonight with mine though

Hi!! I’m new to this thread and I love all of the info being provided. I was lucky enough to snag the PSM online last week and received it yesterday. I noticed something different than what I’ve been seeing for the newer version PSMs. My PSM doesn’t have the visible side stitching (I’ll attach pic). It’s like how they use to make the older version. Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen this before?
This PSM was made in Italy, that could be a reason it’s different.
The alignment is also off on the back and it’s not as puffy as I’d like, but that doesn’t really bother me. I’ll throw in some all around pics!
All in all... I love it!! And it was made in Italy, haven’t seen too many of those

You’re not alone! I just received mine yesterday from a phone order, also made in Italy, and mine is made like yours! No side stitching, and the back is flattish.Hi!!

I actually saw six other PSM’s in stores before receiving this one, all made in USA with the side stitching and puffy back. But the made in Italy one has the most vibrant monogram (like your pictures!) and the best shape and alignment. So I have decided to keep this one.
I agree! My CA sent me pictures of another PSM which is also made in Italy and for some reason the quality seemed better than the made in Paris one I bought the other day so I ended up exchanging it today. It’s also more aligned and I noticed that it’s more structured than the one MIP. Congrats on yours!
omg.. seeing all the cute PSM photos make me want to have one too. Previously my SA had 2 and she offered to me but I rejected as I thought it look weird on me. Now i wan one too!! 
Thank you for responding!! Glad to know the the PSMs coming from Italy are similar.
It was already too late for my PSM! I fell in love and she’s a keeper!
Hello everyone, this is my first lv bag, so I am unsure how it wears. I got this about 2 weeks ago and used it for about a week. I noticed all the corners are rubbing off and some of the pattern is coming off. Additionally the loop leather glazing completely came off.
Is this normal wear and tear of the soft canvas? Should I be concerned? Is this normal? Thanks

Hmm.. I don’t think that kind of wear is normal being that you only have had it for 2 weeks and only used it for 1 week.
I have a 5 year old Eva, that I worn almost daily (never babied), and it doesn’t have any canvas peeling. The glazing coming off too, so early, would have me bothered as well. Not sure what they will tell you, since this hasn’t happened to me before, but I’d take it in to a boutique and see what they say.
I’m sorry that happened. Good luck and keep us updated

If you have a CA, maybe you can send him/her a message and some photos. Since you just got it they might be able to replace it for you. A week of use is way too soon to show signs of wear. Especially for the price of this bag. Hopefully you can get in touch with them and they offer a solution!
Oh I still have my old one too, which I hardly use now as I have “other favourites”. Mine also still looks good, no issues even though I used it a lot when travelling before. Please let me know what you decide to do...
