Sorry I meant to said Made in US.
The store I reached out they only had this one and the CA said there is no way to get a bag besides made in US in Canada. She also said unless I can afford a $10k LV bag I can get a MIF which is kind of ridiculous.
I’m a frequent buyer at Chanel. I had to build my relationship with them, but I never had this kind of attitude from Chanel before.
you can tell her she's an absolute liar. i'm from toronto and have a mif bag. where in canada you from? i'll see how i can help. don't take the made in usa bag.
I ended up just getting that MIF bag. I guess it would be the closest chance that I can get a decent MIF PSM with no major issues.
I’m also from Toronto. Where do you usually shop? So far I tried couple LV stores and they are hit and miss. Idk if it is because they are commission-based so they don’t care about after-sales or building relationships with customers (unless you are vvip). I’m pretty sure the CA who got me the first bag blocked me from his contacts after I returned my bag.
i used to shop at holt's yorkdale because i was really really good friends with the store director of that store and she would get me whatever i wanted whenever i wanted. plus if i ever had issues she would take care of it right away. however, she left earlier this year. now i shop at holt's bloor st. i met a really good sa there who was a friend of my friend and we became friends lol so she takes care of me the same way the store director did. i did get this bag from montreal tho, because holts bloor hadn't gotten a mif when i was searching for it, but she had promised me that the next mif she got was mine when it did (i had pre-paid for it). where did you get your original bag from? and which store did you get this mif piece from? i will say tho, for some reason toronto did have a lot of made in usa bags for the past month and a half
Yeah - I have a good SA at HR bloor and she helped to see if there are any PSM there for couple times but no luck. I got them both from LV flagship at yorkdale (not the one inside HR). I would say it is very very hard to get a MIF PSM in Toronto. The first one I got was the only MIF in store and it is prby not even real... the second one was the only one that MIF out of nine they had... It was interesting when I told the CA at LV bloor (flagship) that yorkdale offered me a MIF one, she called me a liar and said it was impossible... I told her I saw the pics and she was like alright then.
yeah doesn't shock me, it's been made in usa all over toronto. enjoy the one you purchased it looks good!
Got two mini palm spring backpacks and can’t decide which one to keep? Help Please
1)from fashionphile, made in Italy. Everything is perfect. the side pocket stitches are invisible. Is that normal?
Right on the first picture, 3rd ,4th, 6th and 7th pictures.
2)from Louis Vuitton store, made in France
The back is not smooth and tag seems to be misaligned. Left in the first picture, 2nd ,5th,6th and 7th pictures

The MIF one looks so much better dear.
I’m sorry you get a rude CA, just considered it she doesn’t deserve your sales. Don’t let her attitude bothered you. If lockdown is no more, try to visit the store and get another CA to talk to and let him/her know your wishlist for future purchase.
Just received my second bag. Was disappointed that that I returned with holiday packaging and I ended up just getting the regular packaging with no holiday tag. But anyway, after having two PSM, I m pretty sure the first one was fake. The smell is completely different (the first one was awful and made me sick) , and the locations of the date code are different too. One is inside the inner pocket and one is in the bag.
it happens, some have it on the inner pocket (mostly made in spain's do). but that one was a made in france, so it should of been on the outside of the pocket
Yeah... I’m not an expert of PSM nor LV so I didn’t know until having two PSM to compare. I checked the pics I took for my first PSM. The font and spacing looks different than the one I have. I also noticed other red flags too! Apparently that bag was sent back to HQ, but whoever wanna to buy PSM in Toronto - be careful! I was actually surprised that LV’s attitude regarding this whole situation. They don’t feel sorry at all! Or show a sense of urgency that they were selling a problematic bag.
I can’t imagine what would happen if I didn’t post my concerns here. Thank you for everyone’s help!
no i dont think thats normal.. i’ve seen so many psms. this is the first time i saw sides that has no stitches and the front tag looks off too it’s either a defect or .....
but i’m not sure just make sure its authenticated try to call fashionphile and ask them about it
