The Métis was recalled b/c of canvas cracking though, not glazing correct? I haven’t heard of the reddish glazing usually applied to the vachetta being of issue with melting, have you?

I am not talking about the pochette metis but the Metis Hobo. These are two different bags, though some pochette metis made between 2013-2014, they had a melting of glazing issue too. It is not the red glazing on the vachetta that was having a problem but the ones that are in color, mostly black and these glazings are used on trims of the colored leather part (not vachetta) as well as on the canvas’ seams like the ones on the metis hobo and pochette metis

I knew you weren’t talking about the pochette. Someone had previously said the Métis hobo had canvas cracking issues. I didn’t know there was colored glaze used on the hobo bags but yes, the colored glaze (not red), is what’s causing the issue.

Hello, I have the cassia clutch in red (bought in 2016). Do you know if they are known issues with this bag ?
Beautiful but don't really wear it. Took it out this morning and the hardwear had tarnished (I know it's usual) but there are white spots on the glazing and my hands were red. Il looks fine when I look at it, so not melting yet. I live in Paris, France and we are in a lockdown until at list mid may. Should I call customer service or just wait for the stores to reopen ? Can they just reglaze it ? (I love it for sentimental reasons). Thanks !

I don’t know about issues with the Cassia clutch but I had a Montaigne GM that had melted glazing on the handles and clochette. Luckily the damage did not get on any part of the bag so the bag itself was still perfect. The store gave me the option of either reglazing the bag or taking credit for something else. I elected to keep the bag for sentimental reasons, and especially since it’s no longer available for purchase. The reglazing was done and it’s been fine ever since. I think it’s done on a case by case basis so you’d probably have to bring the bag in to have it looked at. Another option is emailing Repair Services with photos to see if they can give you options. Good luck!

Hi all,

I have LV Clery in epi leather bought in 2018 and only wear it for formal occasion 1-2 times. Today when I check on it, the exterior feels sticky. It's not melted and the glazing looks fine, but it feels sticky when you touch the surface. I keep it inside dust bag, without box, side by side with my toiletries 26 epi fuchia (bought around the same year) and the toiletries feels dry and fine.
I live in Indonesia where the weather is humid, but I store all my bags with humid absorber and gradually changing it every 3 month. All other bags were fine : chanel flaps, mini capucines, lv canvas.. All got same treatment, but only 1 epi bag feels sticky :(

Anyone experience the same with epi leather?

Some years back, I had an issue with my Empreinte speedy (bad batch). The glazing on the strap melted and started sticking to everything it was in contact with. It took me a year plus before I pluck the courage to bring it back to the store to ask them about it. I stay in Singapore so humidity wise we are comparable. No matter how humid the weather is, it shouldn’t “melt” or become “sticky” right? Non of the other bags had such issues like you said. Bring it to a store and if you feel anxious, bring along a comparable leather bag stored in the same conditions to show them what you mean. I got store credit for the bad batch of Empreinte speedy because I’m too afraid to replace with another empreinte. I stick to their canvas.

Thank you for replying..

Yes I know about emprinte leather issue, my mom also have the same issue and LV gave excellent service with store credit. But I never hear anything about epi leather. Usually the inside leather issue but never with the exterior surface.. Thats why I'm curious
