Im close to getting line since I am close on the waiting list but I’m really hoping they have resolved the issue. I love the bag and it will be my first LV

I purchased the bag Nov 2014 and had no issues with it all. I really wasn't using it anymore and the LV lady said that the glazinf issue will be inevitable. Hth!
Thanks for that info!
I’ve had my Métis pochette and hobo both since 2013, no issues on either so it’ll be a tough decision if I get the call since they are 2 of my most beloved bags
I have a friend who has the reverse. While her glazing looks okay, the canvas seems to be peeling down the sides. The bag is only 3 years old. I am horrified and told her to get that bag to LV stat. I was just in LV and decided to ask about the glazing and the condition of my friends bag. The SA explained that this is a problem only inherent in the “canvas” bags and not the leather. He said it is because the canvas does not construct and expand like leather and over time can crack causing splitting of the glazing. Bottom line that this is very serious design flaw and if someone is interested in the bag, it is best to get the leather. Just my take.
I had cracks in the exact same place as yours. I replaced mine with a noir empreinte PM. But my CA said I choose anything in the store or she could order me one.
I received a call from client services just yesterday regarding bags I’ve purchase during the 2013-2015 time frame. I was completely shocked. These are the bags of mine they want back
Some leather bags are affected too, so this information is incorrect. There are quite a few post here concerning the recall on leather bags, and also the one above this post. On the leather bags, the glazing issue translates into it melting and becoming sticky to touch and leaving residue on clothing and anything else it touches.
Oh no, not the W tote too. I wonder if LV have received compensation from the glazing manufacturer? This is so far reaching that it leaves my head spinning.
Yikes!Some leather bags are affected too, so this information is incorrect. There are quite a few post here concerning the recall on leather bags, and also the one above this post.

Mine literally stuck to me and ruined my clothing and I have glazing residue on my wallet that won't come off.

I'm sorry for you. If your Ikat hasn't already melt, unfortunately, it will.I received a call from client services just yesterday regarding bags I’ve purchase during the 2013-2015 time frame. I was completely shocked. These are the bags of mine they want back
I was reading through all these threads and I own a few of the empreinte items. The artsy empreinte in ombré and also the fascinante empreinte which both have been in dustbags for the last couple of years. I haven’t used them much and after reading all this I decided to take them out to check them. Just a few weeks ago, I had a problem with one of my pegase rubber feet being cracked. But for some reason I never thought to check the bags until tonight. Well, the artsy bag was fine.. didn’t notice anything wrong with it. But for the fascinante bag the end part has melted and it sticky to the dust bag I used to store it in. Is this the defect people are talking about? Is this the glaze ? I’m sorry I don’t know much about the bags and the correct terminology so my apologies.. but I have taken some photos and maybe someone can chime in and tell me your thoughts.. thanks so much for all the help!
