Hey everyone,
I decided to return my psm reverse bag because I really did prefer the monogram one better. So today they showed me two monogram ones but the quality is so bad the leather tab is so crooked, there are dents, and the top part is uneven. The other one is the same and they are both made in US. I still want the bag, do you guys have any tips on getting a decent quality psm monogram? Is it better to order online or wait in store?

oh dear, mine is likely to be tx lol

this is so annoying having to worry about where the bad is made because of quality.

Should have going into the store in the first placed
I agree. Their main reason is because they are handmade which I get it. But for every monogram psm I saw in person it is not good quality. I don’t even really mind where the bag is made from I just want like no crookedness or dents.

The stores in my area have at least 2 in the store. I'd go and check out in person.

Did anyone else hear from a CA that Louis Vuitton could flag you if you exchange or return items? I went in for my second exchange of the PSM and that's what the CA said. But I heard some people here have exchange 5 times hehe

so i read this here too.. coz it was my first time exchanging a bag in LV i felt bad and felt uncomfortable returning it btw i bought mine online before returning it i called LV and ask them so what if the bag i received still didnt pass my standard can i return it again? how many times can i return a bag? he said if i dont like it return it no problem. so just like i expected the second bag i got still has a lot of flaws on it, so i decided to try to check if the store near me has a stock luckily they have one and it was perfect, so yeah i had 3 tries and they didn’t say anything in the store. The CA just probably BSing coz they’re getting tired of receiving PSM returns. try to call LV and ask them so you’ll have a peace of mind.

Before I was able to purchase my original one I believe I exchanged 3! I was finally able to get a pretty good one! Fast forward 3-4 months it started peel at the loops where they straps go and the canvas was peeling. I was able to return and I decided to go for another bag. Fast forward again and I was able to get the bag again because I really missed it! I purchased at the beginning of October and the front zipper was really bad. I went to return and I scored another online. I really hope this is the last time I have to exchange or return. I am not a picky person whatsoever but for the amount of money you spend it shouldn’t have to have so many issues. I understand that they are hand made but some are just in horrible shape.

Exactly my point! Today when I went to exchange my psm reverse monogram for the psm monogram they keep saying well it’s hand-made. But in my head like why are so many in bad quality? I saw three in the past 2 days and they all have noticeable flaws. Like I get people make mistakes but to have a bunch of poor quality psm is ridiculous. I decided to wait until my store receives a new shipment. So I just did a full refund for now.

EXACTLY.. I 100% agree
when i returned my second one at the store thats what the SA told me, that coz its hand made it wouldn’t be perfect blah blah blah but the one i returned was lopsided and it was so obvious ( i just kept nodding my head, i didn’t wanna argue coz she was nice). i’m not picky too if it has some flaws its ok as long as its minor. I don’t wanna buy a $2000 bag that whenever i look at it i will feel like i just wasted my money.. btw all the PSMs i have received are all MIF which should be well made but no, i just got lucky with my last one..

It’s very hard to try and look past some of them that are really bad. Minor things like the cuts in the side don’t bug me or if the front is not perfectly aligned. But the zipper has to be in good condition as well as the canvas! Wish me luck and hope this is the last time! Otherwise I just think I will have to force myself to stop liking it lol

take it into the store asap! this more than likely will be replaced!
Yup just got mine replaced! When I asked the SA whether is it manufacturing defects he didn't answer me and he just went to the storeroom and got a new bag to replace it. I plan to sell the new bag because i really foreseeing this new version of the bag is going to have the same zip issues even though they "pushed" the zipline outside the bag.

tbh the palm spring bag design is really nice but because of this zip and canvas glazing coming off issues are making hate this bag and want to get off from my hand asap :/

Even though the palm spring mini was made in France, tbh there were still quality issues!!! in store, where I was shown another mini palm spring, the front leather tag piece, the stamping was slightly slanted. i wondered how LV managed its quality these days.

My neverfull tote back is almost 2 years old and the base of the bag, one of the square in the canvas, the glazing starts to rub off and lv is unable to repair it for me :o

I just received one from online MIF made 40th week of 2020. Alignment and everything looks good. However, there are a couple things of concern. Top stitching alignment around zip is a little off and back chap does not appear glazed. Would these issues be deal breakers for a return? I’m afraid if I return, I’ll get a worse one and not a MIF. But don’t want problems with glazing on the chap later on.

just get the chap re glazed they should be able to do that. i wouldn’t give this one up, just have them redo what they clearly messed up. it’s a bag well done for the most part
