I will not exchange since it is bought from the website and I am happy with how the monoglam looks. The monoglam is perfect for me.

I think it is very hard to find a new one since they are sold out. Also the risk of getting a new bag with a monoglam effect that I don’t like is too high. I rather have a misaligned bag that had the right color.

And once again, I think it will be almost impossible to exchange it.

(The piping is not dented but there is a little fold in one of the corners)

I don’t think it’s selling as fast as what the CAs are portraying/claiming for this monoglam collection.

It’s still quite available to buy off the sg website (with no wait time listed) and ready pieces are available in store as well. Comparing it to last year’s sunrise pastel pieces, those were not so readily available on or in store and there were waitlist for those pieces too. The prices were also in fact more expensive than monoglam too ($3600 for sunrise pastel NF and now $3250 for monoglam NF, for sgd).

I’m not saying you must exchange but I’m saying there’s a chance they will allow exchange. I agree the next one that comes might fare worst in terms of what you are looking out for.

I remember the midnight fuchsia NF was so hard to find and it seemed that collection was selling fast. I must be the only person not interested in this collection. I’m not sure why I don’t like it. I haven’t been able to see the blue in person but saw a gold loop. I should've checked it up close now knowing it has a coating. I don’t like the by the pool collection coming out either. I am looking forward to the mens aqua garden collection. I am also kind of intrigued by the mens city keepall with the darker graphite pattern.

I have LV pieces that are much worse than this. Or maybe not several. I have seen PLENTY in store but I have a NF that is worse at the base and I bought a seperate multipochette strap where the round coin pouch looks like a drunk person sew it. Really, it is terrible :lol: but it was bought from LV website and I didn’t have energy to return it and re-order. Nothing is really the same since my fantastic SA quit 3.5 years ago. Now I only order online. Plus I never want to use the coin pouch with the strap.

Your bag is beautiful. It’s not that bad. Most people out in public won’t even notice the minor details. It’s just because we’re on TPF that we scrutinize bags. :smile:

My PM EW slants a little bit too but I forget all about it when I see that holographic shine :biggrin: It really is TPF scrutiny but I can understand when we think about how much the brand is asking us to spend on less than perfect craftsmanship.

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I had already answered your question.
My s lock is slightly crooked when the bag is empty. But when the bag is stuffed, it looks better, although not completely straight. The CAs at the store where I got the bag told me to wear the bag to help straighten the s lock, so I am trying that.
I also see that many of the s locks on other PM EW monoglam look crooked to me. It must have been a very hard bag to sew!
Here are a couple of pictures. It looks worse in certain camera angles and better in others. View attachment 5788349View attachment 5788350

You may check the inner alignment, I had received one mono Metis EW that was properly aligned outside, but the inner side of the flap was completely slanting . I agreed that it’s very hard to get a good craftsmanship piece for this Metis EW, that’s why I don’t bother to buy any of it after a few attempts to get a good mono Metis :rolleyes:
I found the pic of the slanting inner flap to show you, the right side of the flap is longer , it causes the slanting look of the bag

Wait what, did you buy all of then?

I just recieved my speedy b monoglam today, it is gorgeous!

I don’t have a Keepall 25 but I do have a Keepall XS in navy leather with some watercolor style ish. I think they are pretty close in size? I love mine and use it a lot. Always thought I might get a second one :angel: Let’s say I am very weak for the Speedy / Keepall styles:giggle:

Both the aqua garden and the denim looks great! I might be tempted to buy one of them….
And I actually still miss a speedy nano in my collection. I am just not too sure about the gold monoglam - what are thoughts about it?
Click to expand...
Yes, I bought them all:lol:
I received the Monoglam Speedy 20 few days ago and I used it yesterday while going to LV Store to collect my 2 Keepall 25. The Nano Speedy is a display of the store, I haven’t received mine , I bought online together with Speedy 20, but I don’t know why it was not delivered together with my Alma BB yesterday. The gold nano speedy is very beautiful!
Keepall 25 is much bigger than keepall xs, I actually prefer size of xs, it‘s more feminine, and cheaper :lol: I wished LV makes more Keepall xs, but they only made keepall 25 since a few collections ago.
The Aqua Garden is very sweet and Denim is rugged , so it depends on which look you prefer , if you can’t decide, then get both like what I did :giggle:

You are two !!! I’m not interested in this collection even if I like the blue colour. But the bags looks beautiful as everyone wants them :biggrin:
