Honestly, it looks fine. I'd pay more attention to glazing and stitching. Congrats on your new palm springs!

Just received my PSM & although the alignment is still not the most perfect (the last one I received was horrible!), I decided to keep it. I realized perfect pieces are very few & far in between & I’m overall tired of the hunt. Good thing I didn’t return because I saw the new price today! Wowzer!!!

The alignment is better than a lot PSMs that I've seen. Luckily you found it before the price hike.
Mine has almost the same alignment and I am still contemplating whether to ask for an exchange (if that is even possible).

Hi Everyone! My store's repair specialist sent me these 2 pictures of the PSM (front and back) he ordered for me as a replacement for my 5 months old PSM Reverse that I brought in for repair, due to peeling on the areas where the d rings are attached. It was such a bummer because the old one I had was perfectly aligned and made in France too, and had a nice embossing on the front tab. It originally qualified for a free repair so it was sent to the workshop. But after 2 months at the workshop, I was contacted by the repair specialist to let me know that workshop has decided to offer a replacement or exchange to something else instead. They kept my old bag, so I didn't have the option of just keeping the old one I had which was aesthetically perfect. 
Anyway what are your thoughts on this replacement? I didn't bother to ask where it's made from and that's actually the least of my concerns.Bag is still at the store waiting to be picked up. Last picture is my old PSM that was replaced.

Hi everyone! After lusting for the PSM for awhile, I was finally able to get my hands on one and right before the price increase too! But I'm pretty new to the PSM in terms of what to look out for besides the usual alignment and stamping because everyone's reviews on YT seem to have different preferences on what they can/can't tolerate. Can you please let me know if this looks fine? I'd hate to have to return it and pay $500 more for a new bag if it's not too bad.
A couple of things:
A couple of things:
- Front alignment: It looks pretty aligned and good to me except for the right diamond in which I circled. It just looks a tad bit off but not noticeable unless you're really looking at it up close.
- Handle: It looks pretty straight to me but is it placed too close to the back and not in the center? I don't know how they're generally supposed to be.
- Back: There's a really small dent on the right side but again, not noticeable until I was touching the bag and felt it.

Hmmm that's sad they won't repair your original one. The tab embossing wouldn't bother me in the least but I'd want the front pocket alignment to be as good as the original bag. This one is a beautiful bag and the back looks perfect. The front is a smidgen off (but not noticeable unless you really look). I would ask them to see if they can give you two to choose from and then you'll feel better about your options. Good luck!Hi Everyone!

I think you got a perfect piece! I'm very picky and those small things wouldn't bother me at all. Congratulations on your beautiful bag and getting it before the PI!
Unfortunately, they don't have any in store and he had to try his luck placing an order for me to see if it goes through. Lol Or I can stalk one myself so I have something to compare it to. But for some reason, I don't feel that strong urge to look for the perfect one anymore. I feel like most of their bags have their own flaw/flaws regardless of where it's made from. And I forgot to mention that even though my first one looked aesthetically perfect on the front, it had like a dent at the top of the back. And again it didn't bother me just because the alignment on the front was perfect. And I agree that the heat stamp on the front tab is so faint. Is that something that would bother most PSM owners? Anyway, here is a picture of the back of my old PSM.
Thank you so much!!! This confirmation makes me feel a lot better. I was afraid I was being too nit-picky!I think you got a perfect piece! I'm very picky and those small things wouldn't bother me at all. Congratulations on your beautiful bag and getting it before the PI!
I agree that all pieces have their own quirks and I would be happy with the one they found for you. I think overall the shape actually looks better then your original one . I don't think the heat stamp is an issue at all on your new bag. Hope you enjoy it!

What's the issue?
Just asking what other PSM owners think of the replacement bag in terms of the alignment and everything.
