My bleu cosmetique arrived in perfect condition after a bit of a scare- there was some white spots/schmootz on the front and I was "uh-oh- places where the canvas is peeling" but I took a very slightly damp soft cloth and wiped ever so carefully- it was some white sticky that came off. Whew! I was ready to send it back. But it is fine and I love it so a keeper.

BTW, I was getting ready to return it and called CS- there was no ribbon or card with the item. Just the SLG banging around in the magnetic box (not happy about that- how about some air pillows to stabilize during shipment?!). I asked what the story was with no ribbon and card?- I was told you have to ask for gift packaging. HUH? I always got these little amenities with every purchase. This is pretty lame considering what we pay for these items.

So that is my rant for the day- thank you for letting me say my peace!

so many times in the last couple years I have received items just banging around like that. it is hit or miss. guess it depends who / where it is coming from. and yes I always select the gift option to ensure I get the little gift card and ribbon. it is totally bogus though. I recently got a piece from Dior and the way it was packed blew the DOORS off of any LV packing. to be honest the entire purchase and experience as a whole really put LV to shame. we love them of course, we can't help it but compared to other brands they're just seeming to do what is standard and necessary instead of trying to go above and beyond. won't stop me from buying but I had to reply here bc as first time Dior buyer I was so stunned in a good way. :)

Did anyone get thé bleu onthego? If so would you mind posting pics/mod shots?
I swear I’m loosing my mind with this staying at home stuff... staring at the website and second guessing every purchase wondering if something else would be better...

It’s ridiculous right?!?
I personally love the otg gm size. I have the jungle and it’s an amazing size. I’m tall though 5’10” idk if that matters. But it fits SO MUCH.

I feel you on that that’s why I have been going back and forth what to do since the collection is sold out right now hopefully more will come in stock and maybe I can get a speedy.... my creasing was in the same exact spot if you go back a few pages you’ll see pictures of my bag my regular mono NF has similar stitching but there is no creasing and looked completely normal it only creased after a year of everyday wear which is totally to be expected.... I keep thinking maybe I’m just too picky but I just think some of the pastel NFs were made better than others if you don’t mind me asking where was yours was from mine was USA

mine was USA too, in my experience the made in USA (at least the pieces that I got) has been in poor condition. I bought 3 popular pieces and returned all.
Yeah, I have seen other people’s pastel NF in much better condition (aka New lol). I got this bag not in the first week of launch so I thought maybe it had been used for a few days and then returned.

We had the exact same thing happen I got mine maybe 2 weeks after launch and I think someone wasn’t happy with the trim and quality returned it when I received the bag it had scratch marks on the hardware food marks and the trim issue ...... I’m sure there overwhelmed with what’s going on and I know there is more important things going on but I don’t understand their quality control for over 2 grand having food marks on a bag and damage issues sucks and now I know it wasn’t just me being over analytical .... I wonder how the speedy was they weren’t made in the USA and look really well made

I received 2 pastel neverfulls that I ordered on the day of launch. Both were Made in Spain. I am a pastel lover and it was not love at first sight. It just doesn't work. It reminded me way too much of an Easter bag. It is pretty, but not practical. I thought it would be a no brainer for me to want the pastel.

The quality on one was horrible. The trim and stitching was awful and had a very small tear on the top, which I am sure someone has received. The bottom pink piping was so off and stuck out lower on 2 corners. The bottom pink piping is not going to wear well at all.

I also ordered 2 blue neverfulls and 1 red neverfull. Both blue neverfulls were Made in USA. The trim and stiching were much better, but the alignment on the small pattern side were both crooked, which is very evident with the color contrast. I was disappointed in the blue. It just did not wow me. Some pictures make it look vibrant, and it just is not. I also think the white monogram along with the white tie dye contrast is just too much white.

The red neverfull is Made in USA and I absolutely love it. It is, by far, my favorite color pattern, and I am not a red person. It was the color combination I was not even considering, but ordered because it is the most limited of the 3. I love the pink and purple with the red. I also like the small purple LV pattern with the red interior. The colors are actually more versatile than the pastel or blue.

Two of my posts were randomly deleted today as well- I was notified under my account with an alert under my flag. When asked for an explanation- nothing. Just "off topic" appears in the message. So JPG would have received a notice of deleted posts as well. I too am a bit insulted that someone would take the extreme measure to delete my posts.

So glad your first CD experience exceeded expectations. Honestly, items from Coach online have been packed superior to LV. But you are right- we can no longer take it for granted we will be treated as a luxury brand buyer with LV. I will know to ask for gift packaging next time. Shheeesh.

Thank you for comments- I always love reading your posts about limited collections. You have a discerning eye and I usually agree with your opinions. I tried to order the red NF- like you say, it is tough to get. But hopefully more will turn up.

One of mine was also. I’ve stopped being surprised with how things are enforced anymore.

I can think of two other times JPG has left before so hopefully she just needs some time to cool down :flowers:

Thank you for your kind words. It is unnerving to be "edited" when I do not think I did anything wrong, atrocious or worthy of deletion. I mean- I have seen posts left up with the words "off topic- move on" and the original post left. Someone is being way over-zealous around here with the dump button. And why can't someone give me a reply to a private inquiry?

Let us hope JPG returns- she is a valued voice.
