For those that have the DE print.... Have you noticed any rubbing of the canvas, sort of like what happens to the DE print with the speedys and neverfulls, where the print starts to rub off and it leaves behind black. I want the MM in the DE print but with it being a cross body bag I feel like it is naturally going to encounter a lot of friction with rubbing back and forth against your body.

I had my first one for over a year.
Saw nothing of the sort!
Don't expect anything like that with my second one either.
The crease is my only concern...!!

I doubt you can remove the scratches. If it bothers u see if LV will change it out and then apply clear contact paper or the like over the new plate to protect it otherwise you'll get scratches again.

My SA told me if the plate ever got scratched they'd replace it for me. I don't remember if she said it was free of charge but I think it's not that expensive to replace?

Hi everyone,
I received a phone call from Louis Vuitton on 10/24. They stated that they found the bag to be defective and that they will be replacing it for me [emoji5].

Details:
The SA said they could only replace it if I have the receipt or know the name of who purchased the bag. I was at work when I received the call, and informed the SA that I showed them the receipt while I was in the store. Well apparently they didn't record information off of it. She said as long as I can produce either the receipt or the name of the individual who purchased it AND if the sale date was within the last two years, then the bag is replaceable. Thankfully I fit the criteria! So I had my fiancé text me a pic of the receipt which I forwarded to the SA via text message. She confirmed via text that I'm good to go and to come in whenever to have it replaced. I Just need to give them 48hrs notice so they can make sure they have it in stock. I probably won't be able to get back there until this weekend, but I would definitely let you all know when I have the new one in hand and of course include pics. Thank you again for all your help along the way! [emoji5]

I plan to use the new DE and see how it feels in the first few days of use. If I'm not feeling it, I'll consider changing it out for another cross body bag.

Just wanted to give the final update. I officially exchanged out the defect Favorite today for a brand new one. The only "down-side" is my new Favorite is made in the USA while the defective one was MIF [emoji848][emoji23]. Lesson learned: try to always purchase pre-loved with a receipt.

I'm not sure what the difference is but my Favorite has no signs of the canvas rubbing off but my Neverfull does. I carry my favorite all the time. You should be fine[emoji5]

Unless you just have a preference MIU is just fine. My Favorite is MIU & I have no creases or magnet issues. And to be fair, all materials are shipped from France to their facility anyway.

Does anyone around 5 feet tall have this bag? Is the strap too long???
Click to expand...

Hey! I'm 5'1 and 3/4 (tho I tell everyone I'm 5'2". I don't think you'll have a problem with the strap. If you have a LV near you check it out. Also, I remember some YouTube videos with reviews/reveals of the bag where the person was around 5 feet and the bag was the perfect strap length. I'd recommend looking at YouTube as well.

I personally don't think it's too long but it might vary for you based on personal preference. Mine hits a little past my bottom if I recall, I'll have to check again in the morning. Btw, the mautto clip that everyone gets does add about 1.5-2 inches of length.

Can someone please confirm if the creasing issue has been fixed and if so, after which date code?
Click to expand...
I don't think it's fixed yet. I bought mine in 2015 and when I brought it to my lv boutique, they said they've never seen this issue before. (I think they're lying though.) I still haven't heard from my SA and she isn't responding to my text messages either.
