Awww...thank you!

The reverse might be discontinued?
I wonder if they want to help drive sales with placing this rumor as the bag is not that trendy anymore and always available recently...?

I love this bag, and I'm happy I pulled the trigger - finally, as a super-late adopter in this case
When it first came out I bought a vintage Monceau instead (ha ha), what I really like, but then there was the reverse, and it looks so different, and I wasn't able to get it out of my head - for years.

Could indeed be that they just placing rumors about that… Right, since last PI it‘s nearly always in stock, same with the mono
I dont know if its true, there was this one SA mentioning it („if you want it, better go for it now, dont wait too long anymore“….) Im never sure if such statements from SA‘s are true or just sales strategy

Im just the same like you, I admire it for years now and its a real highlight when I see one in real life (which happens not that often!)
Still deciding…. But theres this huge fear of canvas cracking since I read and saw so much about it…
I hope yours is doing fine for many many years to come

You have such lovely and kind words - thank you so much

I guess, prices in second hand will lower if it's permanently available plus the trend passed zenith.
Perhaps you could snatch one barely used from the last 1,5 years (I think from what I read in general tendency they did get it better with the quality issues in this period) and safe a lot of money, so you can "justify" the risk?
This btw was my initial plan, but then something went wrong in my head

Can anyone show how the back zip looks like on emp leather when it’s open?

I’m so excited that I finally got my first emp leather. The SA ordered 1 for me. She said was from their warehouse? But there’s some parts of bag which bothers me.
1) embossed seems light and not sharp
2) the strap is not smooth
3) the label wordings in the interior does not seems clear. Is the interior sewing on the bag ok or looks uneven?
I think the leather pebble is not as fine.

Attached are some photos. Appreciate if you can help me to see. I’m thinking if I should exchange. The shape of bag is good, interior lining is smooth and able to stand, so I’m struggling if I need to change.
Will you?

Is the back lock like this white round at centre?

Yes, it is.

I love the black one you have, I can't say anything about the possible issues, nothing would bother me - but that's just me.

Thank you for the reply.

Is the strap with little bump normal? Or should that glazing be smooth like the handbag?

I compared the label in store. It looks much clearer. I told myself it’s inside, so don’t bother. But I keep thinking about it
My hubby thinks I’m crazy and is sick

I totally can't see it - I would not even know which one is the "good" one, but again, that's just me

But this will not end, so you might really consider an exchange:

Sometimes too microscopic. Lol. If you look for something, you will find it. I think the bag looks great so enjoy it!

Harve De Luxe. They’re perfect!

Are the HDL sticker better than the originals on the bag when sold?
I bought the HDL, and now I'm sitting here and don't know if I should wait till the original stickers come off, or if I should replace them.
It’s the premium set, so I have stickers for hardware pieces LV did not originally put stickers on.

How long do the stickers from HDL stay okay?
