Talkin bout deep embossing. I found out that even the same leather in empreinte might have different feel of the leather. My 1st try was more pebbly and the emboss looked more pronounced. The bag feels more stuffed / bulky and more sturdy.
My 2nd try is less pebbly on the texture, emboss I could say still deep yet only slightly not as deep as the more pebbled leather one. Plus point, the leather is softer and lighter.

I go home with the 2nd one cause there was like scratch on the 1st and bottom of the bag was a bit slanted. I was hesitant with the embossing depth too! But at the end who cares lol and I dodged a €200 bullet I couldn’t be happier lol.

PS. I attached the comparison of pebbled leather I hope it’s clearly seen

Hello! What do you think should I return this bag? I bought it from the official website and don't know what to do, because who knows when I would be able to catch this unicorn again)) But this dimple really bothers me... What do you think?

I think it's fine. You got it before price increase right? That little imperfection is not even noticeable. Enjoy your bag!

I think if it’s worrying you now it will always worry you. I would call your store and ask if you can exchange for a perfect piece. See if they can get you in a replacement. It’s too expensive to not be right to start with. Let me know what you decide. And good luck

Thank you =) I reached out to them, and I was told that PM is currently unavailable and cannot be ordered, and they will not be able to facilitate an exchange for the same style bag. So I can keep it or return it...)

Did you decide? I personally would add 200 usd if I had to and get what I consider perfect because 2.5 k is a lot. I bought last year 20 LV bags and rigorously returned for me not acceptable items. For my bumbag, Pochette Metis, Azure Noe etc I heard from SA and The 0800 number not available none in the country blabla and I Hawkeyed online and got each item until I had a perfect one. They will always discourage you and there will always be someone else who buys it happily. If it bothers you I would try the next 30 days to order another and then return. Based on my experience if it bothers you now it will always bother you. Good luck :)
