I got mine from Fashionphile recently too. Then a few days later I went to a LV in the Dallas area and they had one that someone didn't pick up. I should of snagged it but at the time I didn't realize how sought after they are right now.

Well, it is good that you found one! I bought it a long time ago before the high demand and after a year or so of steady use, the canvas developed a small crack. I was without the bag for a long time, because by the time mine developed an issue they were all sold out everywhere so I just ended up getting another bag. I was finally reunited with the PM just this past spring when I was in Vegas.

LVs and flowers do not match. Mono is precisely made, Reverse unfortunately not. If you inspect the bag in detail you find issues like: glazing peeling, stains from glazing on the canvas (on the back), the LV under the lock is visible, overlaps with the lock (it should not), brass does not have any plastic protection (is the bag new or again a return?), no product info with the bag (sticker with the bar code), all in all the quality control is different in EU and US. I wonder why? The bag in US is more expensive...

Wow...that's crazy. My IR is from the US. It doesn't have those issues and everything was included product info booklet, etc. I had heard/read? somewhere that SA's are actually supposed to take the sticker with the bar code out of items but I know many of my more recent purchases have still had them. I don't consider that a country quality issue rather a store quality issue. Hopefully you have better luck with the next one!

You can still get the bag authenticated. EBay covers you for - I think (but you should check) - for 90 days?

Bring it to the store, ask for a repair - complain that this or that is wrong with the bag, state that you got it as a gift and you did not have the original receipt and they will send it for a repair, if it SA won't tell you it is a fake and won't refuse to take the item for a repair, probably everything will be fine...repair takes 4-6 weeks... eBay return is 30 days, but you can open a claim even after (in total 6 months) stating that the item was not genuine. Double check with you bank what is the time frame for such cases. PayPal I believe has 6 months, debit cards, 3 months, credit cards 6 and more months for opening a case about a purchase of a fake item.

Oh I know I can still get the bag authenticated. I just wish I could've gotten it authenticated in the authentication thread before purchasing. I'll be using ***************** once I receive my bag this week. LV store is too far from where I live. I really don't think the bag is a fake, just based on the photos I've seen when compared to real bags. I make a living noticing minute differences in things, so I feel like I have a pretty good eye for certain things. It's also a made in USA bag and all of the fake PMs I've seen have been made in France, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not a fake.

Your bag is perfectly fine and has nothing to do with US or not.

The bag is not fine. Flowers and LV do not match. LV is about precise craftmenshift. That is what you are paying for. I am not a chauvinist, but EU bags are higher quality. I do not know why... Maybe it is about the demand... but many bags MIU I had in my hands were just different from the MIF.

Ok then return it and stop asking people on the forum for their opinions on it if your mind is made up that "the bag is not fine" .

Hi guys! Finally! I got the perfect bag worth the money! This was my third order... Now my new PM reverse MIU perfectly matches with MIF bag... Yay! and at the same time this experience pushes me to make a decision to shop only in EU. It is cheaper, bags are better quality and it is less stressful. Maybe we should complain more about this and the quality will improve...

Wow! You took it personally... that was not the point. My point is why I have to pay the same money for a bag which is not perfect? Some of us get MIF bags, some of us MIU and the quality is different, but the bill is the same... I would really mind this. That is why I always ask you guys about your opinion, to rise this issue. I honestly think we should not be okay with a defected bags because the stock is limited, that is not an excuse! At the same time I respect your opinion (btw. how about you?) If you are fine with such quality, good for you! Peace! :smile: P.S. Even though the stock is very limited these days, I did not give up. I was able to get 3 bags! So, if you are not completely satisfied with your bag, keep trying, it is worth!
