It's not that easy for us in the US to get them either!!! I'm dying for a reverse but no luck here (California). If anyone has any tips please let me know!

I do not want to be a pesimist, but I was told by my SA in EU that it is definitely gone there (of production)...so I checked with my SA in US and there is a very very limited stock as well...most of them defective, they are returns ...I honestly think that the galls who got MIF PM reverse were lucky because they were the last pieces from EU. LV policy in EU is that once the bag is discontinued they rather burn them than keep selling the unsold stock (to the contrary with US policy, interesting, right?). They basically cannot sell them anymore.. So instead of burning them (ridiculous, right?) they sent the unsold reverse to US because here is so high demand and of course they want to make a profit...but there is no more production worldwide...now it is only about solding the bag completely out. I hope I am mistaken, so everyone gets this bag...

I wish there were a way to know the truth. I just saw a video by Linda (Leo lion lv) unboxing a reverse pm and she said she was told another batch was expected in the US. Interesting about the EU bags being shipped to be sold here. I wonder if that's true. I had heard about the bag burning before and it's always bothered me too.

You're so welcome. During one of my (many) calls to LV CS on the problem I was experiencing, the adviser also mentioned "direct pays" seem to have fewer issues.

Thanks for sharing your experience, to make others aware. I am sorry that happened to you.
I checkout with PP literally all the time on LV's site, and have never encountered any issues, thankfully.

As for returned bags...the CS associate, you spoke with was definitely being honest...
I have received defective bags (twice), and one that's possibly a return. Lesson learned though! lol

Sadly, those people aren't thoroughly inspecting their returns, to make sure the bags show no signs of wear, or just don't care. They figure people want the bag so badly, they will sell anything. I will never order Louis Vuitton online again. It's too much money being spent to receive defects and someone's clearly used item. It's just too much of a gamble; you might get a brand new PM or might not.

SN: For those of you, who are trying to get this bag, it does show up online randomly. If you feel comfortable ordering through the website...my advice is to have it shipped to the boutique, so you can thoroughly inspect there. If it looks used or is a defective bag, you are already in the store, and can return it on the spot, exchange, etc.

Congrats!!:smile: Mine is MIU, and has the same slight sag. What week was your PM made?

The first one I ordered from the web, didn't have a sag, but had to return it, due to another issue. Went back online, and reordered the bag... which looks exactly like yours; the same slight sag to the middle compartment. I was also wondering... is this normal?? So, I ordered another one to compare, that one didn't have a sag either, but peeling issues. Shipping it back, today.

Mine was made the 15th week of '17. I'm not sure if it's normal or not. The other two PMs didn't have a sag.lol It could be the way it was made...

Aaahhh.. I see!! Mine was made in the 20th week of 2017!! Yeah I think it's just how it's made.. the rest of the bag is flawless though.. I hope it stays this pretty forever!!

Yes, I hope so too!! Enjoy her, she is absolutely beautiful:smile:

The one I received Friday, has the same date code-2107. Too bad it has slight peeling.:sad: Was going to keep it, as it actually feels better made, just as the first one. The one I am holding on to, has no major flaws; it feels softer though, and I was extremely concerned about the sag, and it "possibly" being a used bag. But, it looks just like yours...so it may actually be the way it was made. I hope so!!

Mine looks exactly like that! Mine is made in SD too. I got mine from my local store... the slight sag is the only thing on by bag, other wise it's fine! I've seen some with it, and some with out. I've had it for a month now and I love it!!
