Do you live in a humid area? Or is this just a defect in the leather? It's such a shame. I love this bag.

I live in hot and humid country Malaysia , but of course my bags are always in room /car with air cond. I hardly go under hot sun or expose to rain , because I drive to work etc .
The defective part is the glazing ( leather edge material that seal up the end of leather piece ) , not the leather .

Personally, even if I absolutely adore Vuitton, their glazing composition is :annoyed:...!!! I have handbags from many years ago from lower brands still intact, while I find LV glazing is always so ridiculously delicate.

My personal experience is only bags with leather edge (glazing) from 2012 to around 2017 has melting problem . Bags before and after that should be no problem.
It’s good that LV takes responsibility for their ‘faulty‘ glazing , they either replaced glazing FOC or let us exchange to other bags

I’m using this Montaigne BB studs, which is one of my favourite bagView attachment 4978185View attachment 4978184

I could feel the glazing is soften and slightly sticky now :crybaby: I definitely want to keep this bag. I read a tpfer applied a kind of powder on soften leather edge ( glazing) and it solved this problem . I don’t know what powder or where to get, so I applied Pearl powder on leather edge of my Montaigne this morning, I hope it’ll work. I try not to send back for repair as LV repair centre ruined my bags before

Oh no! So sorry to hear you have glazing issues. I didn’t expect the city steamer to be at risk either!
I have successfully used pure talcum powder (baby powder or talc but the pure 100% variety). So far only my bandoulière has had the issue. It became slightly tacky and the powder dealt with that. No more stickiness. The glazing is not looking the best since it’s softer now and there are marks on it if you look close up but it is really not noticeable at all unless you inespect it up very close. There is a small pin head size that even came off. I’m not concerned and no where near a store at the moment but will take it in for repair some day. You should definitely take all your bags in see if it can be repaired if not exchanged.
