I don’t know, I had it put away for a few years and maybe a month ago I decided to look up what this smell was and Reddit is what helped me find the info and then I found articles about it and Korea, having a mass recall on it. Also, I think people don’t talk about it because people are quick to be defensive about Louis Vuitton quality And say “I don’t have that problem must be you” and be very dismissive sometimes. I got lucky but lol the backpack that I used the credit for has quality control issues. Yes it’s made USA probably Texas. I looked it over in store, but the lighting was dim and didn’t notice any issues jumping out till I got it in light at home and it was the only one in stock, I always ask so I can compare.I got it out of town. The hole where the buckle is going through is double punched instead of one hole, someone messed up and then double punched it.Theres also is glue on some of the leather( I used an white eraser and it got it up)and indents on the back of the bag( I figured from how it was stored probably will fix itself once I use it) The double punched bothers me,But I’ve tried to get this backpack before and the other one had issues with the canvas. Maybe I’m overreacting the double punch maybe not a big deal but I feel like it’s very amateur. I plan on keeping it because I don’t want to find another Louis Vuitton and then get a different backpack with even worse issues. Also, I feel lucky that they credited me for the wallet so that I should just accept what I got.

Hi all,
I’d like to give you all an update!
I took my bag to my nearby LV store and sent it off to get assessed. Well… it came back as defective (interesting that it wasn’t deemed defective the first time I sent it in for repair 🫢). They allowed me an even 1:1 swap or another item of greater value and paying the difference. I chose the reverse monogram after some thought.
If you guys have a similar problem with the smell, I highly encourage you to take it to the nearest LV store for assessment ☺️

Hooray!
Just curious if you have a particular associate at your LV store. Seems that having a associate relationship can be advantageous. Recall having trim replaced on my 2012 Neverfull couple years ago. no charge! and a defective Delightful swapped. All smooth transactions.
checking my LV purchases .. none in 2018 (too many prior years
) PM noir empreinte in 2019 and a few more since. All perfect.thanks for this posting.

I don't have a specific associate. I actually don't have an extensive purchase history and my most recent purchases have been online. I think a part of the reason that I was able to get the swap was that I had already sent the bag in for repair/relining in 2022 but the smell issue remained.
Congrats! I have the verse and I love it.
I truly think it depends on the sales associate you get if they’ll just do a swap/credit for you because that’s what happened for me.
Due to this helpful thread I took my Clemence wallet from 2018 into store because it’s extremely smelling and I couldn’t use it. They checked it and deemed defective and offered me a store credit.
