@chocodcocoa - thank you for posting this picture. I checked the Mono and Reverse bags I received today and the Mono has the stamping on the tab, but the Reverse does not and the date code on the Reverse is less than a month (SD2117).It doesn't bother me that it isn't stamped, but I wonder if there is something else "lacking" on the bag(s).

I had never noticed that! I took a look and it seems the reverse MIF has the little edges, but the MIU doesn't (or has a really slight one, barely visible except under a flash like this).The leather on the tab also feels much softer on MIU. I don't think any of this is a defect or a big deal, just kinda fun to point out all the little differences :)IMG_1497325724.607923.jpgIMG_1497325736.211872.jpg

I just decided to take a look at my infrarouge made in USA and my reverse monogram made in the USA. The infra has the detailing on the tab and the reverse doesn't. Of course I like the detailed tab more but oh well at least the rest of the bag to me looks the same lol.

Would you be concerned about this or is this normal? The leather tab above the lock of my marine rouge PM doesn't have the grooves that are stamped/pressed on the sides. My SA said it's possible that the stamping was light and has already faded... Not sure if that would happen with a brand new bag though. I kinda like the smooth look but I don't know if this is a defect. Help!

Looks good to me [emoji4]

I saw one at the Beverly Center a few weeks ago. I was shocked to see one in the store and they said it was marked not in stock so it couldn't be shipped or requested from other stores. I'm sure it's gone by now, but just a thought, maybe it might help to go in to stores instead of just calling. HTH

Thank you! Do you have a favorite SA at the Beverly Center? I'm right by there

View attachment 3729148 View attachment 3729149 View attachment 3729150 Hi, I am new to this forum. I'd like to share how I ordered my mono PM.
Originally I fell in love with the cherry PM. Last Wednesday, I went to LV store near LA and was able to try on reverse and noir PM. I ended up having SA adding me to the 700+ mono waiting list. She did tell me that by the beginning of next year, the production line of PM will be in full capacity. (Not sure if she is correct) Anyway, I tried LV website that night and was able to order one mono PM with the help of information from this forum. I will receive my mono PM tomorrow which will be my 25th anniversary. Keep my finger crossed that I will receive my PM in perfect condition. Will post pic once I receive my PM tomorrow.

The above images are the pictures of reverse and noir PMs. I also tried cheery Mazarine to see how the real tone of cherry leather looks like.

I received my online order today. Everything looks ok except
1. Scrach on the hardware of the belt and
2. Winkle on the leather part on the side
2. Something like glue residule on the canvas. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!!

The wrinkling wouldn't bother me...that looks like a deep scratch on the hardware. Does the glue come off? If it does, maybe you can just exchange the strap? I don't think I've seen glue like that before....the glue is the worst out if the issues.....I'm not sure you want to keep even if the glue does come off?

Thanks for response.
90% of the glue came off. Wonder if it is some kind of protectant? In addition, I also notice that there bubbles on the glaze.

Thank you for respond my post.

Both of you have leather PM, may i ask, does LV brown envelope fit your interior on first front and middle?

Due it has discrepancy between exterior and interior which i suspect they make smaller interior lining [emoji848]

I believe my envelope 'just' fit into the purse. My zippy wallet however, fits perfectly.

Have to confess, I :love::love::love: my PM! Actually, LOVE is an understatement! My only wish is that I got it sooner!
