I'm looking to add the PM as my everyday bag - is the glazing issue a hit or miss thing or is it an issue in most bags? Sorry, I tried teading though the thread but at 300+ pages long I was getting overwhelmed!

I can't really answer if it is occurs in most bags or not, but I can say it occurs in many regardless of old/new model, or where it is made. So that is something to consider. It happened to mine.

Hi everyone. I purchased this bag second hand, but brand new. I received a gift receipt and it was made in July 2015. The above pic shows a small crack in the glazing. Am I able to get this fixed by lv? I only wore it a few times and already developed this crack. I'm sure it will get worse later. Thx!

It looks like the place where the clip of the strap rubs, it especially rubs when you wear it cross body. You can bring it into store and the repair manager will inspect it.

Posted this in the September purchases thread but realized I need to post here too! I'm in the club, finally!

Got this from the Hong Kong boutique last week. Was totally shocked to see they had stock. I became accustomed to asking for it and being laughed at haha. This time around the lady was telling me "No no no.. You need to be on pre order.. And then she said.. Let me check.. We had some bags delivered today.." And much to her surprise (and mine), there was one delivery that was not marked for a reservation! Lucky!

It's made in France and two weeks fresh out of the factory, as per date code. I learned all that in the hotel after purchasing so I really feel lucky.

I got a twilly for it and hung a Prada charm.

I haven't removed the clear stickers yet haha. And I've been using the bag everyday. I'm smitten!

I'm having a hard time opening the bag though. I don't think there is any problem.. I just need to figure out how to open it smoothly. I feel like a dork - using one hand.. Then fumbling.. Then using the other hand to hold the bag and trying to open again.. And then I fiddle with the flap gently UNTIL the thing opens. Gah! I think I'm not stuffing it enough or I'm just not figuring out how to do a smooth one hand open yet. I flick lock to the right to unlock and the snap still stays inside until I sort of pry it out. It doesn't flip open on its own. That's my only tiny gripe with this bag. (Does anyone have tips?)

Either way I love this bag and I'm truly happy I got it.

Congrats and welcome to the Club [emoji307] It's actually easier to close the bag if it's a little fuller but for opening it you just need to slighlty push the right front button (if you wear the BAG on your shoulder) to the left/ in direction of the lock and it should open up easily. Good luck practicing [emoji8]

Just thought I'd give my experience, I've had mine since it was first released (3+ yrs ago) and still looks great and no issues at all

No regrets at all, its been a great bag and I'd buy it again if I had to do it all over!

I Agree I also have original model with vachetta zip pull and extra pocket. Bought in 2014 with no problems so far .... and no regrets, I love it.

I ended up showing my pm to the lv store and they gave me a new one on the spot. Made in US though. They said it shouldn't have anymore glazing problems, so I am happy.

hi - i am in the exact same situation, i purchased a 2014 preloved and in otherwise great shape but the glazing is quite bad, like melted and cracked. i don't have the receipt though. do you think that will be an issue or will they repair it w/o a receipt? if anyone can give me an idea of what it might be (cost) to re-glaze i'd appreciate that too, thanks.

Hi. I don't think they are able to repair the glazing. They might just give you a new one if you know the name and phone number of who bought it.

I had this problem with my Metis. It was sent out for repair...I'm hoping to get it soon as it's been 6 weeks already. I'm not sure about the cost though. Mine is still under 1 year old.
