Hi everyone, My PM just recently had a problem... The LV stamp at the front have faded after only 3rd time of using it... Has anyone had this problem? 
I stupidly sold my PM last month thinking I didn't like it. Well, you know what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder! I now have one on order with my SA since this is a bag I definitely want to see in person before I pull the trigger again. My only regret about buying it new will be (probably) getting one MIU instead of MIF, which my original one was (absolutely perfect, bought last October), but there are definitely worse things!

Good luck, I'm sure if you try hard enough you can get a MIF. Maybe not on the first try.
Omg, i just checked my MII. The inside flap is upside down. I bought it more than a month ago and after the 30 days return policy. What should I do now? Can I still return it and exchange for a new one or not? 
I dont want to have a defective bag for the money I paid!!!

The upside down LV's on the inside of the flap doesn't really bother me. I would prefer MII over MIU. However, if it does bother you, bring it in and see what they say about the defect.
It seems like all MII's mentioned in this thread are like that.
Guys, do you all find the clasp on the strap when rubbing against the D ring after 3 wears, it developed like a tarnish blackened mark inside the clasp. So Dissapointed with the quality of the GHW. Is that even normal even after only 3 wears?
Same thing happened to my speedy B just after the very first wear. I couldn't believe it!!
I tried to clean it with a dry clean soft cotton cloth and it came out easily, looking perfect again, but it happens every time I use my bag

That very sad isn't it . I wonder will the top layer of the gold hardware eventually fade away in no time and we can see the underlayer?
Very sad indeed!!
Maybe it's LV strategy to get more people buying replacement/repair pieces like HW? I have only just started buying LV this year, so far no issues with any of the items I have purchased, but after reading so many complain comments on this forum, it made me handle my bags with more care.
Try wiping your hardware with a soft cloth and see if the black "scratches " come off.
Wishing you all the best and hope you get to enjoy your beautiful bag.

It's the hardware oxidizing unfortunately. All we can do is wipe it every so often so it doesn't stain the outer vachetta pieces on the sides of the bag. It sucks to have to do this on a "luxury" bag.
Hi Ladies,
I have my PM is made in France last month, but the bag is uneven. The SA told me is normal because by handmade? When it become soft and it will be alright. However, after a month use it still uneven. I called and would like to exchange new one because I'm not happy with this uneven bag.
Now they ordered a new one for me but it is made in italy. Everything is in prefect condition, only the inside LV is upside down (which all other girls have). Other replacement are made in french but not in good condition.
What should I do? Everyone can give me some comments? Should I just keep my MIF or go for the MII?
Very struggling now! Have to back to the store this afternoon... Please help..

I would go with the MII if it's perfect, other than the upside down LV's of course [emoji846]
But inside flag are upside down.... All other girls in the forum are back to exchange??
