in your country are you allowed to return something after you've worn it?

I don't think it's nice to return something it has been used. 😧 It won't be fair to the next customer who is going to purchase it. When I decide to return a bag and I won't use it. I will just keep it inside my closet and wait for my SA to inform me for my next bag stock availability then I will bring down to exchange. 😄
 
The policy isn't for used, though. Trying on is one thing, bopping around out and about with a bag is another. You got lucky this time.

If boutique staff come upon photos of you online using your new purchases, any future return attempts by you will go differently.

Totally agree. If you do not like it then why you buy it. Buying it and storing it and then regret it is one thing but using it and return it is another. Its not like jewellery clothes that the size doesnt fit you exchange it.

Well that you actually managed to exchange it and sucks to be the next one getting it. 😕

Absolutely agreed! I hope such incident won't happen in SG stores! 🙄

I definitely agree with you. In the UK if you buy a bag and decide you don't want it after one wear you just sell it on at a loss and see it as a lesson to be learned.

Yes. 😊

I guess exchange policy for LV should be more or less the same in all countries (30 days return/exchange). But please do not abuse this policy whereby bring back an used bag! 😅
 
Yes, they were okay. In the U.S., it's fourteen days to return for a full refund or one month to exchange. I exchanged it for a different bag. I told them after wearing it, I didn't like the strap or zipper. Not an issue at all. They do, after all, have return and exchange policies.

Not to pinpoint, but since you are honest and open to LV store that you indeed wore it and reason is you didnt like it as you are uncomfortable, its fine.

But if i were you, i would not wear it but keep it (maybe try it on, just trying is fine) but not bring it out for errands.
 
I reckon you go for the mini as u might not know it might be limited in near future. Even it has officially become a permanent item (as my SA) said (who knows), the price will increase almost yearly for sure. Get it early and save u some money too!

I am wearing this baby everyday for work for leisure etcs.

F.Y.I i did not put down a deposit for it and my SA order it for me. And when i ask can i get it faster if i place a deposit, she replied no, the bag would still be offer to the client first on waiting list (even no deposit) first come first serve basis. But the shipment was fast and queue was only 3 infront of me, i got it within 1 week (5days) to be exact. Just try place ur name in diff boutique i believe that helps.

Good luck! ;)
Are you serious? You must be so lucky dear!!! which store did you get yours (if you don't mind me asking) ? The one on George St where i usually go. The SA there told me its about a 3month wait and 300 hundred people waiting when i first went ....... but honestly I'm not sure i feel like different SAs tell you different things. Last week i went in the store, a different SA said there's 50 people ahead of me and i've only put my name 2wks ago max. I might go in tmr and ask if i could put my deposit. I think it would be paid in FULL first before i even have the chance to try it on :( I had my eyes on the PM as well 2 yrs ago when i bought my alma. I tried both of them on side by side but alma won because i love the shinny look of the vernis. Really shocked that PM would become this popular.. Still contemplating ...
 
Thank you! That's what i think too i might just go with the mini first not sure if its going to be permanent though.


I get that. I purchased this presuming it would get a lot of use especially for the first couple of years. If I tire of it by then I am happy to take a loss when I sell it if I feel that I've gotten good use and joy out of it. I not someone who could see myself using many pieces for years and years. That's just me; guess I'm a fair weather bag owner! [emoji12]given this I might want to consists we switching brands but looooove LV!

Meant to say consider....
 
Exactly what i did, knowing that these kind of people do exist, i ask the SA who offered me a palm spring immediately when i ask for it (finding it weird since its so hard to get worldwide why would he have ready stock to sell it me immediately). I asked if its a return bag, and he said no, just that his client is coming to pick up the ready bag only in july, hence he can order it again.

Better be safe than sorry..

I agree, that sounds fishy. And after reading through, no one will blame you for doubting.

The thing is, it's so easy for SA's to say no, knowing that most would be skeptical buying a return bag, particularly when there are others who have no qualms about returning "gently used" bags. At the end of the day, we don't really know what we're getting. Make sure to inspect the bag thouroughly...and as a courtesy, if not integrity, to fellow bag lovers, we should never, ever return a used bag!

Which lux brand are you into(handbags in particular) ?? I love Chanel i own a few pieces from them but they are getting ridiculously too expensive.

If immediate available then must be careful. Possibility a returned piece is quite high. But, not to worry with the current piece (brand new) you've now because I also got my mini within 1 week. In Singapore, it's fast. :smile1:
