Just went on Louis Vuitton web and saw PM monogram (the classic color model) price went from $1700 to now $1,780, does anyone here have any acknowledge when this happened? Also it shows " call to purchase ", does that mean it is not available for online purchase at this moment? Thank you!

Yes. In Australia it went from $2290 to $2400 (including tax) almost 2 weeks ago. Call to purchase means they are out of stock though they trickle into stores. You can call and ask if be put on a wait list.

I was so ready to purchase a mono one 2 weeks ago for my birthday but my store didn't have one and I asked the SA to call me when one comes in. Two weeks later i still haven't gotten the call and the website still says "call for availability." The money is burning in my pocket! I want my birthday bag!! [emoji30]

I was disappointed in the quality of the mono reverse i bought that was MIF so i am not keeping it. My PM MIF is perfect...View attachment 3605881

So apparently the lock not being perfect is quite common. Does anyone else have the print on the back of the bag being slightly angled? If anyone who owns reverse can check that would be great! Because they have no waitlist in aus anymore

Thankyou! Yes it helps. i actually only found one so far that has perfect aligned canvas LOL! Its still disappointing that they rush the production and dont make the bags perfect. Id like to see if anyone else can post their pics will make me feel alot better about keeping the bag which i feel now that i want to. But its that internal struggle because im comparing it to my mono canvas which is perfection...
Thanks again [emoji173]

I received my Reverse PM today!!!I have to be honest, I feel almost guilty that I don't check my bags over way more closely when I receive them. What I saw with the Reverse PM- I think the S lock is crooked, there may be a couple of larger holes with the seams that are on the top of the sides of the bag. Before seeing someone else write about this, I would have Never noticed that! Also it's kinda of hard to tell with it being almost a pleated fold. I don't think this is at all a defect, but it does cave in on the back side, I am hopeful once my things are in it that will resolve itself. The one thing I did see- right on the front of the bag, somewhat by the S lock the is one thin line. It looks like when my Mom would use a glue gun and i line of a drip would accidentally end up on what she was glueing. I don't have any idea, is that glue, is it glazing. Idk that anyone else would see it, that probably bothers me the most of anything.
I don't feel there is anything wrong "enough" with my bag to want to chance returning and having real problems!!! Maybe I am not particular enough?! What are your thoughts?
Thanks!

I think you have the right mindset when it comes to Louis Vuitton! "Misaligned" print doesn't bother me, maybe it's not supposed to be aligned [emoji23] I don't want holes, I want a clean bag with clean interior and hardware that is not being scratched. With that being said, they are never going to be perfect and that is the beauty of it! I look mine over but I tend to not read into others experiences and let that affect how I feel about my bags. All of the bags I own are well made and beautiful, I am not going to nit pick over the small things that really are not defects. They are handmade, maybe if they were made from a machine they'd all be exactly the same and perfect, which I don't wants Good for you and enjoy your beautiful bag, I love my reverse!

I think your very right with your point. I feel i was nit-picking not only because my mono canvas version was virtually perfect but because of others opinions of imperfections. After bringing it up here about my experience i feel much better and i now feel there isnt much point to be picky about such small imperfections. [emoji106]
At least in my case they were small imperfections
