Reverse bought in may 2019 has 7 holes, mono is from May 2020. The length are similiar
Hi everyone!
I have a PM reverse mono bought in December of 2019 that I think might be developing glazing and canvas issues. I attach a couple of photos, although I couldn't get the camera to focus if I got any closer to the spot. But essentially the glazing on one side of the flap seems to have cracked. I am wondering if you see what I (think I) see and if so what should I do.
The irony is that I basically haven't worn the bag since February, since the pandemic began ........

Mine is also new and I have not sprayed it. I‘ve watched many videos, also by Minks4all, and she explained that due to spraying, the color of vacchetta may become different with aging compared to the usual honey-golden patina color, going more in the light orange direction (and that could be seen on the bags of youtubers, who have sprayed their bags). Therefore I prefer not to spray it. But maybe other people had different experiences with spraying?
To be honest, I have still left the original plastic protectors from LV there
I am planing to remove the one from the upper part, but will leave the one on the lower part of the lock.
On the European website, both Métis mono and reverse have been available the whole day yesterday and today. So I suggest to stalk the website.They are much easier to get now, I was told in store that you can order now! when I asked online they said they can add you to a waitlist but in store I was told you don't have to waitlist.
I am sorry, I cannot see any cracking or glazing on the pictures. But if you aren’t sure, I suggest to take her in to the boutique and show the bag to them.
It looks fine. You shouldn't pull it back that for just to see if it's cracked, it's meant to be like that to prevent the strain on the glazing when opening. Mine looked like this from brand new.
I was uber excited to get my PM today after stalking the website for a couple of weeks. UPS finally gets here late in the evening, I open up the box, and lift back the flap of the dust bag, only to see this! Someone’s smudgey fingers got black marks all over the handle 
That definitely took the excitement out of this purchase for me. Back in the box it goes. I guess the waiting/stalking game continues. Am I crazy for not wanting to keep this? I’d just rather be the one to make the marks on a bag when it’s new. Oh well.

I would also definitely return. The European website is full with PM mono and reverse since three days already - not a htf anymore (at least in Europe)I was uber excited to get my PM today after stalking the website for a couple of weeks.

Hope you can quickly get a replacement!Thank you! ☺️To be honest, I have still left the original plastic protectors from LV there
Thanks, it’s been popping up randomly on the website here in the states too but still sells out pretty quickly. Hopefully it’s easier to find this time around!I would also definitely return.

Return. You spent good money for the bag that you should receive in perfect and clean condition. Hope you can get the replacement soon.
Right?! The bag might not always be perfect but it should at least be clean when it gets to a buyer. Return label going on the box.
