I am so sad and very frustrated! Based on all the posts and experience in this forum, I made a habit of checking my mono PM regularly, since the day I bought it. Today, I realized that the PVC coating is coming off at several locations of the flap. Has anybody had this before? My instict is, once the coating starts peeling, it will only go worse.
So frustrating. I take care of the bag quite well, and haven't even worn it more than 5 times since I received it (January 2021).
I will contact LV, and I don't doubt that they will offer support in the matter. But this is the second PM I received (first one had problems with glazing) and even if I LOVE this bag, I don't want to be worried all the time if some other problem will come up.
I can't decide if I should insist on getting my money back (is it even possible, or they offer only store credit?), or consider the emprinte leather PM. Any thoughts, ladies?

I totally get why your are upset. We put these brands on a pedestal and when something like this happens, it is quite disappointing.
My advice would be to contact LV and see what they would offer you. If you do like the PM, I would say give it another chance. And, remember, here we mostly hear about people’s bad experiences with the bag. I am sure that for every one who has had issues with their PM there are at least a couple of people who have perfect PMs that have held up nicely.
There is some selection bias in what we see/read on here. Keep that in mind. But keep us posted and good luck!

Good point! I just posted my bad experience here, too!
I have two in empreinte (noir and turtledove) and love both. No issues. I'd say go for empreinte !
I believe it’s glue and not coating. Just rub it softly with cotton fabric. This is what I do when I see glue next to glazing
I suggest trying this too. I also received mine in January and although I didn't notice it at first there was a small patch of glue on flap. I used a clean dry cloth to remove the most stubborn section and then gently scratched it off with my nails. V v carefully! Try and see of it comes off easily and if not contact LV.
I totally agree with this, as I have seen this on other pieces, like my reverse card holder. I think it's okay!
everyone, I just joined the club with my metis, my first one which I just bought yesterday. Metis has always been on my wishlist for as long as I can remb when the price for monogram was much on lower price point but I been hearing about the glazing issue and that keep putting me off. Was at boutique yesterday afternoon accompanying my friend and I ended up, pulling the plug and purchase this empreinte leather bi-coloured. Simply stunning and I love the inner lining which is microfiber.. making the bag feel very luxury and of course at higher price point too. Hope this bag can last long and wont have any glazing issue.
Hi everyone , I got my new noir PM today.it is stunning. However when I examine the bag I noticed it has not made in xxx stamp in the bag. But does come with a date code of SD xxxx. Should I be worried? Does bag that not made in France does not stamp made in xxx anymore? I can’t find other tags besides date code
Thanks
Thanks
I bought it from lv online. Sure it is legit. I am more worry when it comes to resell when some day it comes to resell. Would it matter jn that case?
It's not the coating peeling, it's excess glue that comes from under the glazing, it comes off when you gently rub back and forth with your finger.
