Anyone has quality issues. No doubt about that. But with LV it is getting excessive. I don't blame them or anything, obviously because they are such a big brand that produces so many items. It is bound to happen.
With Hermes, yeah there are quality issues, but still not as common. And when there is, Hermes really hooks you up and fixes the issue right away. I just had this crack looking thing with my Hermes bag 2 weeks ago. I had no idea what it was. In 5 minutes the woman brought it back saying it is fixed. The service was absolutely impeccable and the artisans really have great knowledge about the materials they are working with. I think they have an in store artisan at each of their flagship locations specifically if anyone comes in with a smaller issue. It is much better than the whole "sending back to Paris for 3 months" ordeal.
The perk about LV is that they are more elaborate and fun. Very clever with their designs and they have an AMAZING creative director. I just wish they did something about quality control.
