So happy yours is still perfect! Yep, my luck. I didn’t even want to post anything here when I started seeing peeling around the corners.
I own 3 TX made LVs among other MIF bags/SLGs.
One is in repairs right now ( Pochette Métis - no problem - LV stand by their repairs) due to glazing issues and I won’t wear it much when they ship it back since I was apparently blind and didn’t see my lock was crooked due to excess canvas on one side vs the other. The other is IENA MM DE - original batches of the newly opened TX factory ( September 2018 ). One side of my Iena tapers up and the other is simply STRAIGHT. It’s just not the IENA that it should be or the one they have on their website.

The 3rd one is this PSM mono. 2 months of occasional wear and peeling corners. I noticed that 2 black leather tabs on the back peeled as well. I’m truly confused HOW a bag that was never abused wears like that..
Again I was so naive in 2018 when I bought those first 2 bags at my boutique. I thought all LV are equal. LOL. Isn’t that what they tell us?

As for my PSM with batch code of late TX /end of July. I called CS and asked for an advice and was quoted that all stores are open for “assessments”. I was advised to take to the store and have them look at the bag. I’m planning to do it in the next 2 weeks.

One thing for sure: if I’m ever given a choice I’ll always go for a non TX made LV. That has nothing to do with preferences/vain/whatever - it has everything to do with my personal experience.

Honestly, all of the PSM’s I had were from the TX factory and they all had issues with it. When I first started buying LV, I never thought the quality would differ no matter where it came from because, like you, I thought it would be immaculate ALL THE TIME.
I’m really hoping you can get a good one make in Europe somewhere because the quality, in my opinion, doesn’t even compare.

Ordered this bag last week and got it yesterday. Shipped it back the same day bc this is what I got...

Already wear on the tab and the pocket lip would is stuck in that position on its own. I thought it was just stuck on the zipper but no...disappointing.

I’m planning to get a psm mono next month for birthday gift to myself. Does anyone know if psm mono that available online are MIF or made is USA. I don’t want to get the one that made in USA as I heard majority they’re all have problems. Or should I contact my CA and request one that MIF? What do you guys think? TIA.

Contact your CA and they should be able to source you a MIF Palm Springs.

I would even doubt its authenticity. Look at the “N”
LV USA have audacity to sell it to the NA customers!?

Hope you find one a good one. Even then you’ll need to wear it consistently to see if you have any corner wear/issues during your 30days.

Does anyone have a list of what to look for when purchasing a Palm Springs Mini. I remember seeing an IG post or maybe it was on YouTube where the gal listed all things to look for when getting one but can’t find it anymore. Example: Stitching, etc.
