OK girls (and guys),

I need your help. Just purchased a Batignolles from Saks. I was sorely disappointed when I inspected the bag (as I'm sure we all do) and saw that it was made in the U.S.A. Let me be the first to say that I am proud to be an American, but half of the allure for me of buying an LV is that perfectly imprinted "made in France." I immediately went back into Saks and they explained that a lot of the monogram is now made in the States to keep up with demand. I also called 866vuitton and the gentleman explained the same thing to me. He assured me that bags made in the U.S.A. are held to the same quality standards as the company originally set. It''s just a matter of demand and getting it to the consumer more quickly. But, even after all that I really want to take my bag back. Am I overreacting?!?!?! Should I just transfer my stuff from my Lockit (which was made in France) and just enjoy my new baby? What do you guys think? :sad:

If you like it you should keep it. Both my speedys are made in usa, but i really don't care where as long as I like it and its not FAKE. If whereit is made really is that important than I think you should return it for something made from there. Ultimately it is what makes you happy.

BH is very popular so it's hard to get a France bag... I too prefer France, but when I got mine, it was made in USA.... meh.... I'm more relaxed about it now, but If I'm spending 1500$+ then I definitely always make my SA fetch me the France bag lol:D

This subject always intrigues me. I could care less where my bag is made (actually prefer it made in USA....rather employ people from my country). I have NEVER looked on my bag to see where it was made! Maybe I'm in the minority, but if I like the bag and there are no flaws.....I enjoy it!! :yes:

Congrats on your new bag....ENJOY it!

I know exactly how you feel.

I much rather prefer my LVs to be made in France (for some reason). BUT if I happen to get a bag made in the U.S.A (it would be slightly dissapointing), but I wouldn't return it just for that reason.

All LVs are gorgeous, as long as their AUTHENTIC.

ENJOY IT! :smile1:

I am sorry but I think you are overreacting! You should love the bag no matter from where it was made! There is no difference! I really don't care where my bag is made, as long as is authentic!

it's up to you what you prefer and are comortable with. i think i'd be fine with it but i have to say i'm having the leaf changed on my speedy (where they heatstamped it- and i requested made in france since that's what it already says and the date code matches it. they have to special order it because they only have made in the usa tags here. how stinky is that? well it makes sense though- right? that's the only thing i would care about specifically though...
