OP...I think that another poster just thinks that there is a fingerprint on the lock as they at LV put the lock on for you as a courtesy and forgot to wipe it off. Doubt it's a return and I'd keep the bag. Doubt there has been enough time to turn around return bags yet with this new on the market. Now the next one you get may well be a return. Good luck.
Well you have a point... I love this bag.. nothing is wrong.. I will try to clean the lock and see... I hate to part with it...
Look GREAT on you!!! Are you happy with the 35 size? I am trying real hard to make up my mind between the 30 and 35 B. May I ask how tall you are? Any ways... I would keep the bag if its perfect because you could exchange and some thing else be worse than a lock issue. Just exchange the lock and keys... if I were you but I want you to be happy so what ever makes you feel best. The bag is GORGEOUS!!!
