Hi everyone!!
I just got a really good quality psm in the store today but it’s in reverse monogram. They had a monogram one but I passed because the quality was terrible. I decided to get the reverse because it looks in perfect condition. But I still prefer the monogram one. I still like what I got but I know I just prefer the monogram look better What should I do?? Tell me your thoughts.

I got the reverse after returning my old mono in for defect and tbh I do miss the mono... However, I have a few other monogram bags so I feel happy that I have something to diversify my collection.

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.

My PSM has the same top stitching "issue" as yours, but I ended up keeping it since alignment was near perfect, the shape was good, and the bag was made in Europe (MIF). The alignment and shape of your PSM is one of the best I've seen - agreed with the previous comment on just reglazing :smile:

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better! I’ve been trying to find pics online to see if it was a common thing. Hopefully the glazing won’t get worse since I plan to only use it crossbody.

If you feel brave, you can steam the area around the canvas (put a towel over it) for 1-2 secs at a time and that may flatten it out where the zip is a little off. My Neonoe was wonky at the bottom and I managed to steam out the weird crinkles it was developing at the edges.

Your recent PSM makes me hopeful my order will be ok!

Thanks for the suggestion! I wish I was that brave. I keep trying to bend and soften out the canvas but think it’s just the way it was sewn.

Hope you get a good one! Keep us posted.

i don't trust a texas made psm, ever. i've had two from texas and all ended up going back within two months for peeling issues. just personal experience.

Wow reading all these and seeing the pictures and I guess I was lucky! I ordered the mini in reverse back in September online. It came made in France and it was all aligned perfect. I didn’t really check anything else but the only issue I have with mine is the strap. I only wear one since I haven’t worn it as a backpack and I noticed a small area where it’s peeling clear and looks like glue which I’m guessing is the coating they put over the leather. Idk if it’s an issue or will get worse.

Shall I continue to try order online and see if I get a made in Europe one? If I just call customer service, can they help me locate one that’s made in Europe. I had asked the local store SA to search for me but who knows how long it’s gonna take. The last time i was in the store they have a reversed mono made in france. at this point i really dont want a made in texas one. What will be the best way to get one before christmas
