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!

someone may have already answered by now but the fascinante went back for a "recall" fairly soon after its release. this bag was among the first to melt away and almost every one i have seen has melted. they will for sure take that back as it was called back a few years ago and was among the first emp. items with issues. yes, that's the glazing you have pictured.

Yes I took it to LV this last weekend and got credit for it. Ending up getting the keepall 55. Funny though, no one ever called me about me it. But I was glad to have found this forum to learn so much about it. Bc without this forum I would have never checked the bag bc it’s been it’s dustbag for years.
 
I was just called by my store. It’s issues with the 2013-15 bags. They basically said they are “melting” and other issues and I was told to bring them in, even if in perfect condition, and choose something else. My bags affected are the Cindy Sherman, louboutin, ala Moana tote, and a noefull. I’m so sad.
Hi can I just check that the Louboutin bag you mentioned was the limited edition Shopping Bag? Darn I have one of those but did not get any call? When were you notified? TIA
 
Also I have a few other capucines, Montaigne, Marais in empriente and neverfulls DEs from that period. Guessing I should dig them all out and have word with my SA! Anyone here been contacted about Marais? Also I have the nano W and a few other nanos Pallas, Speedy, Noe all from that period as well.....Arghh. If anyone has been contacted about the nanos pls let me know. TIA

Capucines have been reported, also the Twist, not sure which type though. I have 4, but sure I bought them 2016 and later. I am worried about my Go-14 though. :sad:

Your best bet would be to contact your SA directly, or take your bags (or a list of your bags) to your local store. They should be able to help you. I had a doubt about one of my bags and simply reached out to my SA who got back to me within a couple of days.
 
I was at LV today since I notice my neverful had issues and they did replace it for me. Which is awesome- I was asked if I want to do an exchange or look for something else, I did an exchange since the neverful was a gift from my sister. The SA did look at my history but didn’t mention any bags on there... I have the metis too but no issue with my bag, she didn’t mention or question about the bag... I guess if you have issues just go and get it check. No harm in it.
 
Has this LV recall/issues with these specific bags ever hit any social media pages or magazine articles? Think of all the people who are not familiar with LV or don’t look at any forums. It seems to still be hit and miss with people getting contacted by LV about these bags.
 
I got a phone call yesterday about my Retiro from 2015. Said I would be offered the last selling price and the offer has no expiration. The CS rep did mention I would have the Easiest time exchanging if he set up an appointment for me. Now on to what bag to get.
