That stitching wouldn't be acceptable to me. Mine isn't like that. Please don't settle for that kind of workmanship, especially for the prices they are asking nowadays.

I'm sorry to hear that.So I shelled out $2K+ USD for this cute Speedy last month only to find a POPPED single Stitch on my bag handle
Bringing it in for a fix, but SERIOUSLY very disappointed in the latest workmanship. It was absolutely pristine MIF otherwise. Looks can be deceiving !!
I hate to say it, but with LV lately you DON'T get what you pay for.
Years ago, my Sac Plat PM had a missing stitch on the handle, and I returned it the next day.
Then I drove 1.5 hours to get another one that was perfect. So I guess popped stitches are not new.
Thanks sweetie. I understand that things like this happen. I'm just lucky it happened soon after I bought it and I can take it in for a (hopefully free) repair. The strange thing is that it was absolutely flawless. I thought I lucked out but I am really thinking 5x before spending any more on these HTF items. It bugs me more so because I have a nice assortment of d/c'd pristine LV bags that have stood the test of time despite regular use, and as a long-time buyer/collector, It's sad to know those days of quality have been replaced by fast-fashion with fast-food quality. I hesitate to get any of the new S/S items for this reason now. Are you planning on any of those bags ??I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm not obsessed with anything right now from the current LV designs. And even if I did, I usually end up not being able to get the ones I want anyway. So with the price increase, the lack of quality, and not being able to get what I want, I am finding myself obsessing over other fashion houses and unique preloved bags I missed out on.
I'd rather chase after things I can get that have beautiful quality.
I find myself not loving the bag if it takes too much trouble to get it.
Out of fear of missing out I bought the speedy with the pink strap. I sort of wanted the black strap since I already have the pink strap with the Diane but that’s what became available at the time. I like it a lot better than the nano. I’ve seen it available a lot online lately…
The black was available an hour ago. I just ordered. If you sign up for the notification you will get an alert when it becomes available. LV notification alerted me and that’s how I was able to check the website and order.
Thank you!!! I know, the day after I ordered the pink strap, the black strap became available. I already have it in the pink strap so I was hoping to just buy the black strap separately. Maybe a reseller site will have the strap only for sale…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate it. I should probably return it even though I love the pink strap so much. I wonder how certain pieces go through quality control. I’ve also noticed some handles are made a lot more sturdy and feel full/thicker near the loop, so it doesn’t cause wrinkles there, but others feel like there’s more open space, so there’s more wrinkles there? Sorry if I’m not describing it clearly. I wish the quality was more consistent and like you said more consistent with the prices we are paying.
That’s great! I hope you’ll get your bag soon! I signed up for notification when it becomes available, but I’ve never received a notification. I wonder how the system decides who to send notifications to?
It will send a notification to your email if you put it in but I find that if you check the site alot you will find it quicker than waiting for the notification, that there is a little bit of a delay, I think..
I’m not sure how the system works but I received my item today with missing hardware so back it goes, not sure how this passed quality control. I signed up again for another notification. This time I didn’t receive alert, I checked the site a few times and 20 mins later, the item became available. I would say try signing up but also check the site numerous times. I hope the second bag I get is worth this hassle.
What missing hardware did they miss? Just curious. If you are returning it via UPS, did you have the picture of a video of you unboxing? I’m slightly worried for you now as I read the other forumer did not get her refund as LV claim they did not receive any item in her package. What if they claim you return a package with missing item and decide not to complete your transaction ??
Hi sunshine, I took a picture of the defect. No video. I will remain positive. I also called LV to let them know about the defective part. My item is missing the hardware for the strap. I will use their UPS prepaid label, drop it off at a UPS store and get a confirmation receipt. I’m not worried because I will dispute with my credit card company if there are any issues.What missing hardware did they miss? Just curious.

Pleasantly surprised. I got a full replacement on my Speedy 20 for a single popped stitch
It's nice to experience brand loyalty which is probably what keeps me coming back.
