Well.. I have been wanting a PSM since it was released and just made my first LV purchase. I was super excited and opened the box to see the bag- and I am confused. I would love your help! Am I crazy or did someone not align the bag properly to sew it the right way- it looks super wonky. Does it make sense for me to pay like $700 more for the my lv world tour to make sure this bag is made to order and from france? I don't understand why LV has allowed bag rejects to be circulating. Should I just take my money and go to a leathermaker and get a custom made bag for way less? Or do I just try again?

I don't intend to buy any other newer LV models, I am a huge fan of LV vintage bags only, but I was saving up for the PSM specifically since I love backpack purses.

I have been having similar problems. I’ve decided to wait until I’m lucky enough to get a PSM made in Europe. I think maybe the plant in Texas is relatively new and the workers are new? I don’t get it either. We are taking luxury bags, luxury standards.
I hope it’s quickly addressed.

After returning 2 monogram Palm Springs Mini due to misalignments and looking at another 3. I’ve decided to go for the reverse and I am so happy I did. It’s soo perfect!! Also MIF! All the monograms with misalignments were MIU.

It was def a lot of work trying to find the “perfect” one, but I’m glad I found mine :happydance:

I just got my palm springs mini backpack today!! It is super hard to find one, and I ended up ordering on Fashionphile. It is in excellent condition, and I believe it is nearly brand new. Although it is made in the US, the alignment is so so great. :love:

My main concern is two of the bottom black leather are obviously peeling... Any advice on whether I should return or not? :sad: I want it so badly for a couple of weeks, but no luck see it in stock. I called CS today, and they said there's no stock in the state, I should go to Honolulu to find one. Should I return this one, or keep this one? :sad:

Update:
So I brought it to a store and they said that they would replace the canvas at the top of the bag. And they don’t do replacements on the older models anymore. I guess LV is able to fix canvas issues now. Hmmm

Is it with new zipper ?! Lucky you! If you want to keep it replace canvas. They are so hard to get.

If you’re from USA many are from USA. If from Australia....And other parts of Europe , MIF is common. ( after seeing many videos, that’s what I found) But with patience I hope I get lucky.

Thank you! I had it shipped! I was able to locate it via client advisor over the phone. I asked to have a CA at the store to send me photos before purchasing. They had a monogram, but that was misaligned so I asked if they had a reverse and they did. I was def lucky to find one that was perfect.
I didn’t even ask where it was made because it was just so perfect. I assumed it was at least MIF because of where the handle was placed. Once I received it in the mail, I was right about it being MIF! I purchased my PSM a week ago.
I hope you are able to find your perfect one *crossing fingers*
