Just received my new purchase from LV! I was able to score this online last week. I had a feeling it was a return and LV had resold it to me because there were no stock after my purchase. The purse came in with the strap attached already and no metal protectors :( Also, my tracking said “track your repair” which made me think this was a return for a defect. And of course, during my unboxing, there was a VERY noticeable glaze glump in the front. How did LV miss that?!!!! Luckily, I was able to peel and rub it off without messing it up. Thinking of keeping it because everything else looks fine now. Thanks!

Oh no!! Makes me wonder about my PM delivery tomorrow. I also have the “track your repair” listed in my profile. I bought it through their hotline, and remembered the person said mentioned that store inventory and guest services inventory are two different things. Since it was always listed online as “out of stock”, I wonder if this means guest service inventory is only tied to returns.

Keeep me posted on your PM! Hopefully you won’t have any issues. Other than the glaze dot, everything seems to be okay. I ordered via online as soon as it said “in stock” so I’m not sure if it would be the same as the hotline? Congrats on your new LV

I’ve been wanting this bag for years and finally decided to get it! After weeks of searching, I tracked one down at a nearby LV store. I noticed some little issues at the store but decided nothing can be perfect and I would enjoy the bag for what it is. However, after getting home and reinspecting the bag, I noticed that these issues are bothering me more and more. I’m not sure if this is a common issue but wanted some second opinions. My worry is if I can find one to replace within the exchange period. Thank you! 8E6899BA-66D5-4EE7-B1F0-AB52023E27F6.jpeg

I also have 'track my repair' on a new speedy 20 so I think it's normal at the moment, and I've received a few bags without any protector film on the hardware, I've even seen the sa's in store peel it off as they pack it. They really shouldn't because the customer should decide when it comes off. Enjoy your new bag! I love my pm

I don't see any issues, and that indentation on the bottom should go away with use, it's also in a non obvious area of the bag.

It finallllly arrived! Looks great, and only found little “dents” in the gold hardware. So minor that I didn’t care. (I’m only going to make tons more anyways. lol) I can’t believe I finally have one. Thought of it for years but held back. Turning 40 made me think “eh, eff it”. lol

My new babies. Made in France. LV does not have the date code tags any longer. At the boutique, they scanned the chip embedded in the bag and it shows Made in France on 1/17/2022. Wow, I ordered at the store and picked it up at the store on 1/26. Amazing. The embossing is very nice and I am going to keep the sticker on for a while.

The Mini Pochette in Giant LV pairs well with it
