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

If I were you, knowing you love this bag so much, I think I'd grab one of the MIU ones they have available. The fraying may get worse faster than expected and maybe there will be no other ones for you to exchange. You can always add a completely different MIF bag to your collection down the road :)

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'm so sorry to hear about your PS mini. I had the same problem last year (September). LV had to repair and replace my PS mini handle and the top chapes due to fraying. Unfortunately it took them 12 weeks to fix it. My mini was MIF as well. I'm surprised why they couldn't repair your backpack.

Thanks for your reply. :)
That's great that they are willing to repair it even after the year mark. Maybe get that in writing?
You may also consider repairing it now and just get it over with- maybe it will take less time than expected. You could get yourself a stand in mini back pack during the interim (like an understudy lol!)
I understand your love for this bag- since buying mine last February I almost wore it every day until I noticed the cracking. It had been my dependable little buddy for so long was sad to see it go!
Keep us posted on what you decide. :)

Anyone have issues with your mini palm spring bag loop?
Mine 3 for the strap and 1 for the scarf loop split and i only bought it for 2 months before i noticed the issue and have only used it for a couple of times only.
Has the quality drops for Louis vuitton bags?

LV repaired my PS mini last September 2016 and I had the same problem. Top loops/chapes were splitting and cracking. It took them 12 weeks to replace the chapes:sad: Apparently the spare parts are from France so they had to wait 9 weeks for it. I was a bit disappointed with the quality considering I've only had my mini for 4 months. Quality is definitely not like it use to. You have to take it to the LV so they can replace it for you. Good luck..

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if there are any MIF classic minis still around in the US? I had to return my mini due to cracked canvas; it was MIF and my SA cannot find another MIF.
Thanks for your help!! :)
