Hi everyone :smile:
I purchased online my first LV piece -a pochette metis on February this year. It is made in France. I have only used it 3 times. However, I noticed that the coating cavas on the inside flap has some white spots. It is so strange that it has those white spots because I have taken so much care every of the 3 times I have used it. I called customer service and they told me that I should take it to a LV store. But, I am so desperate and disappointed :confused1::sad: , I need to know if that is normal, I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to this issue with the bag? Do you think I will have to pay for it or they can replace it? even though it has passed almost 5 months since I purchased it. Here are some pictures....Thanks!!
I just had to return my reverse PM because of white spots.The spots started peeling!! My SA took it back and got me a new one.
 
That tag is enough for me to pass on this bag :sad: I wonder why they didn't hide it in the last pocket or the outside zipper pocket. I hope I can find one MIF.
Usually an entire line is made in a particular country; the mono PM started MIF but now is MIU. There is nothing wrong with MIU if you really like the bag. But I totally get it that LV is a French company and MIF is most desirable. I feel the same way- most of my LV is MIF but a few pieces are MIS and MIU.

At least there is no LV MIC or Tunesia or a 3rd world where labor is exploited. To my knowledge anyway.

But does the lock look a bit lopsided?
I just received one too and it can look crooked when there's nothing in it or if something in it is just making it stick on more on one side. Hopefully that's all it is!

Not it's not, return it. I wouldn't be surprised if you received mine. Mine was shipped from California to me in Florida and I didn't accept it yesterday for the same reason. I posted about it here yesterday. Pic attached.

Thanks for your reply! I thought it looked odd but wasn't sure since it's the only one I've seen in person. The other side isn't very good either. I think I'll return it. I just hate waiting!
 
Wow! It's gorgeous! Congrats !
Thank you :)

It's so beautiful!! And your photos are so crisp and clear. I am totally enamored. How much do you love it?! Will you wear it everyday or just on special occasions? Will you get the matching key pouch? Have you taken her out for her maiden voyage yet?

Thank you :) Photos were taken from my iPhone 7 plus. I am totally in love with it. It will be my everyday bag. I've only had her for 2 days but so far I've really enjoyed using her. I haven't thought about getting a matching key pouch and didn't even know they had it in this colour but now that you mention it I'll have to look into it :)
 
Just received my (first) Pochette Metis that somehow I managed to order from UK website the other day. It is a beauty, MII and even though the date code states 6th week of 2017, it seems that quality control is still not working great and learned nothing...

Just take a look at these pictures. Needless to say the bag is going back, the customer service was very helpful and I am supposed to be on a priority waiting list (?) as the bag was confirmed defective via email...

I am not being picky here right? That white gunk around the red edges and the fact that it actually splits in half, especially that I did not wear it even once, it's straight from the box! The other side looks okay... So disappointed!

I'm in! Here is my Reverse Mono Pochette Metis! View attachment 3622650

Wow have you had any canvas or glazing issues? I just ordered with my sa last week and originally wanted a infrarouge but decided on reverse after looking through the forums. How long have you had it and where was it made? Thanks for your help!

View attachment 3629918 I never thought I'd be this happy with a bag. The functionality of it is amazing. Haven't been able to stop using her since I got her. [emoji178][emoji178][emoji178]

Same questions, any problems and how long have you had it/where was it made? Thank you!!

Did you take any photos of the defects? Also had any issues with the new one? Thank you!

That is completely unacceptable for a bag of this price.
