Has anyone purchased a PSM in reverse from Fashionphile? If so, what was your experience? I ordered my PSM in reverse online from LV since I live many hours away from the closest store. This was my very first LV purchase. I had to exchange it because it was terribly made and considered defective after calling them and sending pics. Cuts on the canvas, stitching issues, misalignment... The one they sent me after that was used! The bag arrived completely squashed and deformed, the straps were terribly bent up, the inside was actually dirty, and the paperwork was bent up. Needless to say I returned that one. Over 2K for such carelessness and poor quality? I REALLY want this item and want it well-made. I’m very disappointed in LV and am wondering if majority of their PSM in reverse are just bad overall? Should I check out Fashionphile since you can actually see the item before purchasing? I would only look for a new one and not used. Or maybe I should just give up lol...
I think it’s just the luck of the draw. I ordered my reverse PSM online from the LV website and it was perfect.
Hi! After doing tons of research and trying to get help from Louis Vuitton customer representatives (that was no help), i noticed that the US website for Louis Vuitton has the brown zipper posted as the THIRD photo! Not exactly sure what happened there as the rep i spoke to did not know, but it seems it DID come in both colors?
i have attached a photo below of the screenshot!
my bag’s date code is SD4129, so actually a week after the Fashionphile bag, hah.
I had both, ended up selling the reverse, cos my dark clothes stained the reverse canvas
I’ve had my PSM for a couple weeks and have barely used it. But I just noticed that one of the threads on the strap is unraveled. It’s a small thing so wondering if I should just cut the loose thread? 
or is there a risk that this piece will fall off the bag?

Honestly, I wouldn’t run the risk of cutting it because that loop may unravel. I highly suggest going into the store if you can and have someone take a look at it.
Thanks for the input! I ended up going to the store and they’re sending me a replacement strap!! So glad it worked out because it was bothering me
Hello lovely people!
Can you please post a photo of the back of your psm standing? I am still debating whether to return/exchange mine because of the uneven back part but the thought of getting a worse one scares me after reading all the issues on this bag.

I just received this bag yesterday. And here are the pics of my bag. At the back, I notice that there is a dent on the right hand side. As what most mentioned here, it is hard to find a perfect bag for PSM. Hence, i think I’m keeping it.
Thanks for sharing
i guess i am keeping mine, too! I will try to enjoy it and stop worrying about the flaws...I got this bag yesterday :'). I really like it and it's MIF but I'm a little bit concerned about the dent on the bottom left side near the D-ring. It seems like an issue with stitching and I was hoping somebody who has the bag for a while and had this issue can say if it evens out with stuff placed in the bag. It's not really a big deal to me but I was just curious!
Congrats on this! How's the wear and tear so far? My backpack is starting to peel a bit but I'm not sure if it will warrant an exchange in-store
