LV Mini Palm Springs Backpack

I wore it on short errands, so mainly just sat in the car with me or on it’s dustbag at home, no rough areas. Can’t really do much with a pandemic. All my other LV bags are fine. The only issue with canvas I’ve had is fading and that’s usually the Damier.

What sucks is I was outside the extended returns but 3 days . But it’s been really dark in Seattle for the last few weeks so I only noticed today in the sunlight cuz the bag was sitting on my lap.

I am sorry this happened to yours. I just got mine in November last year so I’m really hoping it won’t peel like this to mine. So far I only use it a handful times and when I’m not using it I don’t keep it inside the dust bag/box. We’ll see what happens in the near future.
Let us know what LV says about this.
 
My baby has just arrived ! I am absolutely ecstatic , she’s perfect. Don’t tell me if you see something wrong cause she’s perfect to me. Delivered from Arlington, TX and the biggest surprise is that she’s made in France !!!! I’m so happy . I read through this entire thread and was well prepared for a made in Texas or any issues. 318374FC-C189-4CBD-A849-F6DF720BFBEF.jpeg7660FF7C-38C3-46A9-A3E7-A1BC9021FB06.jpeg[

In less than a dozen very careful uses in 3 months, the corners of mine started peeling.
I took it in and the CA who looked at it said “I don’t see anything, this is not something people have ever had a problem with, the manager agreed nothing is wrong.” I left feeling dismissed and crazy. I texted pictures to the CA I usually work with, but he is off for awhile.

Am I crazy?! I see peeling.

You definitely have peeling. You could try to contact the care service online at LV.com to see if they’ll refund or replace depending when you bought it!
 
FYI, they ended up refunding me for the PSM since I was only 2 days outside the extended returns window for holiday purchases.

I still really like the PSM so thinking about the reverse PSM. Has anyone had problems with the peeling on the reverse canvas? I heard the monogram part can still peel... I've never had any of my LV canvas items peel before and most of my monogram items are MIU.

the reverse canvas has actually been very good (the reverse bag i have is miu as well, SD not TX), in both the new and old models. i've only experienced issues with the monogram part of the bag lol. overall, reverse has held up much better than monogram (again speaking from having both monogram and reverse in new and old models; with them being mif/miu)

I really like the mini, my concern is that i m middle-aged, does it fit for my age? Too juvenile ?
I'm nearly 50 and had the same thoughts as u on this bag . But then Ive had a bit of a mindset overhaul journey over the last few years. It does kinda suck that as we get older we expected to do and go a certain way in style and direction it's kinda a sad. I'm not going down that road.

I'm one of those that believe that we only have this one life and it's on this planet. So might aswell make the most of our limited stay here. I intend to carry on and enjoy things that make 'me' happy and not what is expected of me from social norms. I tell u it's been so liberating to just let go. I pulled the trigger and bought the bag few weeks back . I wear her crossbody and use it everyday . It's a fun little bag, informal looking super casual. Really fits my lifestyle at the moment so enjoyable to use. Don't know what I was fretting about. I recommend you try her if u can. But you are not too old :smile:

I am 54. :biggrin: Age is just a number. If you love it, who cares what others think. Whenever I think that way about getting older, I just google search Betsey Johnson. She will live forever with her youthful mindset. ~ XOXO

Age is just a number. Do what makes your heart sings. I’m a middle age woman as well but I don’t care what other people say or think. I bought my psm with my own money and happy wearing it. Mostly I carry it crossbody, never as a backpack, scared of pick pocket :smile: :smile: :smile:
