You were being rude to me and lvt and you know it. If you're going to be rude, expect someone to call you out. If you don't like that, you can block me.

I didn’t read it as rudeness, more like an acknowledgement that they were originally mistaken. And the “no one can complain” was more like “well I guess we can’t really complain” than “you, poster, shouldn’t complain”. Just imho. All love here in TPF!

Do you think you will return if they call? I bought mine the same time as you and paid about the same price. I still have the receipt! I don’t have any issues with my bag so I’m not sure I want to give it up....

That’s my dilemma too! I have no issues and if they refunded me back the purchase price I would just keep the bag (I can’t buy a new bag like it for $1500 at LV) and I don’t want to put another $1000 or so of my own money to get something I like. BUT if they offered me the current selling price that I’d have to really think about.

I think people are actually offended rather than impressed! They’re mad that some buyers are getting store credit for defective bags. It’s like “sour grapes” - to me they’re just “jelly” as my second graders say lol [emoji23]

Why would anyone be mad? It’s great actually. Why would anyone not want others to get this kind of CS? Those of us who buy a lot or who have been with LV for a long time have experienced this kind of treatment many times. I’m glad for all of my TPF friends!

My 2014 Christopher PM was exchanged on the spot when cracking appeared around the edges. I think I got the same value as the original purchase at the time (it was only two years old though). But I might be mistaken. I left with my Zack backpack instead. Good for Louis Vuitton to make things right like that!

So I pulled out my Pochette Metis that I purchased in August 2015 and inspected the glazing again. I had noticed about a year after I got it that the glazing where the flap opens and closes was starting to break down and crack some. I took it into the store and a sales rep told me it was normal wear and tear. Well, after looking at it more closely, the crack is deeper and the canvas is now beginning to crack as well on one side. I called LV 1-866, and was told that there is no known issue with the Pochette Metis and to take it into the store again to see what can be done. I can deal with the glazing, but not the actual canvas cracking. This also is not a bag that I use on a daily basis.

Definitely take it in and see what they say.

I got a call today...mine was purchased in 2015. I haven’t had any issues but my SA said it didn’t matter either way. It’s going to take a while to reach everyone so if you haven’t received a call yet you probably will at some point.

I got the call today about two empreinte slgs, both in cherry, both from 2015. They said the issue was with the dye they used, not the glazing. I sold the wallet and they asked if I knew the owner (which I don’t since I sold it to Yoogi’s) giving me the impression they’d extend the offer to second owners. I don’t have any issues with my key pouch, but decided not to chance it, so it’s going back. I’m impressed with the CS. Nearly 3.5 years later they reached out to me. Other than vehicles, I’ve not experienced that.

I am the second owner of a HM Milaris with cracked glazing... hmmm do you think LV would give me a $9000 store credit? :wtf: Perhaps to the original owner. Hopefully they could fix it.

He told me the same thing...pretty much verbatim regarding the longtime, valuable customer explanation. I had four bags on the list and I sold 3 of them. I really wish I kept my lockits and SC bag, as I took pretty big hits when I sold them. I was surprised he didn't mention my granit SC bag that I purchased in January 2013? My black SC from later that year was on the list, but not the granit color from earlier. I haven't heard about the capucines yet, but I am curious if anyone gets a call about it? I am thinking about purchasing a black one, but the glazing issues are worrying me...especially for the price:smile:

My granit SC from 2013 was on the list. You might want to double check that one. I too let go of a couple bags I now wish I'd held on to. Oh well I guess.

I’m not sure I want to return it even at the current price. I can’t believe how popular this bag is, I don’t remember it being popular when it was released.

Same here, I'm not even sure I'd return at the current price but I'd have to think about it BUT if they just offered me the $1500 purchase price I would just keep it.
It wasn't that popular when it was first released, I remember because I bought the Metis Hobo first and then got the PM a few months later and people wondered why I'd get it since the Hobo was the more popular bag at the time so why did I get both. For me it was love at first sight - no regrets on either bag still 5 years later!
