Hi everyone! Happy Holidays! Not sure if I should post a new thread but just noticed the canvas cracking on my mini at the center of the zipper line. Has anyone else had that problem? I have had the back for 10 months and use it daily but don't mistreat it. Would this be considered normal wear and tear? Thanks for any advice!
I literally just returned mine yesterday for this issue. They said they had reports but they thought they fixed them....I got mine wave 1 during first release. I didn't want to get the same thing and it possibly happen again. I get nervous about things like that so I am just trying to consider something new.
So sorry to hear your having the problem too! I didn't think to ask if o could exchange for something different- but maybe I should consider it too! Hmmmmmm...... now you've got me thinking about a Speedy B!
let us know what you decide!Well for now I have a credit...looking at the Tuileries or the new noeSo sorry to hear your having the problem too!

This may have already been posted, so I apologize if this is old news. I was frustrated with my PS mini because I was finding the straps much too long to wear it as a backpack. Well, I just found a solution! I removed the shorter strap pieces altogether and looped the ends of the longer strap pieces through the D rings on the bottom of the backpack. This makes the straps much shorter and ideal for wearing the PS mini as a backpack. Hopefully this helps someone else!

You and I seem to have similar taste in bags & clothing--I could totally see you rocking the palm springs mini!
I would REEEEALLY LOVE to own this bag, but I just find it a bit too pricey to be a trendy piece... couldn't justify it yet
To satisfy my hunger for this piece, I actually bought a bag from Forever21 that is a black ripoff of the Mini Palm Springs... it cost like 1/53 of the price, so I decided that if I keep wanting this piece until the end of the year (and I presume my F21 bag will have fallen apart until then), I'll buy it [emoji23]You're right it's pricey for what it is, but if you love it I say get it. I have a Chanel woc and I know it's wayyyy overpriced for a tiny bag but I love the look of it.I would REEEEALLY LOVE to own this bag, but I just find it a bit too pricey to be a trendy piece... couldn't justify it yet
Believe me, I'd love to apply that logic to every bag that I love, but I just love too many bags and I'd have to rob a bank to fulfill my wishes!
since there are a couple other bags that I want more (and I'm more capable of justifying their prices), I intend to postpone this decision until my Forever21 bag has become dust [emoji23]Disappointed. I purchased the mini backpack back in April and have used it constantly. I then noticed that the leather handle started to have some fraying on the side. Took it into LV hoping they can just replace the handle. Waited six weeks and I just got a call that they said I can exchange the backpack. Problem is that the mini I had was Made in France and the ones that are available in store are made in the USA. Asked if she can order or find me one made in France but they said since they have two in the store those have to be sold first and if waited too long then the bag as to be sent back for another 6 weeks for accessment again. Conflicted if I should just keep my damaged backpack and try to cut off the fraying or exchange it. Usually I don't care about where's the bag is made but I wanted at least one LV bag made in France.
I totally understand! My mini whose canvas started cracking was MIF and the one they had in store was US. My SA is looking around for me for a MIF but it has been 10 days already! I too know that there is no quality difference but wanted a MIF to replace my MIF and prefer it if possible. Not sure if they're out there anymore? I'm considering a totally different bag altogether or maybe reverse mono? Good luck and keep us posted!

I did a similar thing. I bought 2 Coach backpacks that are a smidge bigger and have straps that I find more comfortable. I paid $99 (brown leather) and $149 (black leather). The $1,780 price tag, plus sales tax was unfortunately too much for my budget.
I love the looks of the LV backpacks though, they are beautiful, but I am tying to stay on ban island. If I had a more unlimited budget, I would definitely pick up one of the Palm Springs bags.

Im sorry to hear about your mini! Canvas cracking def can't be fixed unfortunately. And that's so sad to hear on a less then a year old bag! Your SA is very nice for looking around for MIF. The repair specialist flat out told me she can't call every store looking for a made in France bag for me, not that I expected or asked her to but still. I think I decided I'm going to keep the bag until the handle gets worst. Apparently France is all backed up in repairs so getting the leather replacement part is gonna take a really long time. So they're gonna write me a note to bring it back and have it fixed even if I come back past the year warranty and they'll absorb the cost. I really really adore the bag so getting a different bag is not an option for me hehe
