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 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 Eena

Thanks fot the reply will bring it back to LV store. So disappointed with the quality as all my other older LV bags has no issues.

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.

My store has a mini but I'm not sure if it's MIF or not. It's the Baltimore store. Pm me f you want a direct contact

[emoji7] it's so cute! For those who own it, does the zipper get easier to zip?

So cute!!

It does get easier to zip. However I wouldn't say it's like buttery and easy like other LV bags since that extra canvas is always covering it. However it is definitely smoother and less annoying in time.

Thank you yes, I think I've noticed it's started to loosen up a bit. I always feel rushed trying to close it when I'm in line paying for Stuff [emoji23] those are the moments it gets stuck because of the canvas haha

I always thought the mini was so cute. But I am not willing to spend a lot of money for a mini. So I opted for the MCM bebe boo as a alternative. So now I have the MCM, I gotta get the Mini PS after I obtain the Palk.

How do you like the MCM?[emoji848]

How do you like the MCM?[emoji848]

I like the MCM x-mini backpack. I find the workmanship is excellent. I do find the opening is hard to retrieve the essentials for the day, especially when the interior has a dark leather lining. And like Palm Springs mini exterior pocket-the MCM exterior pocket is not very useful.

I like the PS mini also but I don't see me using this bag for a long time as I see it as a trendier piece--so I'm hesitant to buy.
I considered the MCM as well but I've never purchased anything from that brand. I'll look into it. Thanks again [emoji16]

I think once you get the MCM version, it would just backdraft of wanting the LV version-like me! LOL

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

Thank you! They said if the fraying gets worst, they will replace the loops. They just don't want to do it now since the backpack is a fairly new item and it was going to take a really long time for the replacement part to come from France and I was already waiting 6 weeks so they didn't want me to wait any longer. I'm hoping to one day visit Europe to get a neverfull and speedy made in france since they're only made in the US now it seems. And those are the only two items I have on my wishlist

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.

Thank you! I wish they went ahead and replaced the loops but I was already waiting 6 weeks and they didn't want me to wait any further for the replacement part to come in so they said to just exchange it. But as you know I didn't want a Made in US replacement so the repair specialist says when it gets worse, I can come in and get the loops change out then even after a year.

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.

Yes they said they put it in the notes on my profile. Usually LV is very good about things like this so I have faith! I wish I could repair it now but they didn't want me to and told me to bring it back when it gets worst. Apparently france repairs is really back up so they don't know when the part will come in. Sigh. Yes I absolutely adore this bag!!! Prob my most favorite handbag out of all the bags I ever bought. I've used it almost daily since I picked it up from the store. So sad to have parted with it for those weeks and getting almost no result back but it's ok.

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?

This is exactly what happened to my bag! I haven't own any bag with those loops before so can't say if the quality dropped on that part.

My store has a mini but I'm not sure if it's MIF or not. It's the Baltimore store. Pm me f you want a direct contact

Thank you love! I've decided to hold onto the bag and bring it in when the loops get worse.
