No, I didn't have to pay for repairs and the deemed it unrepairable. The store didn't have any PM's in stock when I went in so I used the store credit for the speedy b 25 in noir which I think I will get more use out of it than my noir PM. Speedy is more of a daily bag since I can toss in a water bottle or scarf in the winter. I still want a mono PM in the worst way, but I just think I may spend too much time looking it over for cracking that I may not enjoy the bag. I lost an ikat NF to melting after about 5 years. From the time I knew it was an issue about 2 years in, I always felt like I was waiting for the inevitable to happen to my bag.

Is this normal? My new rose have uneven lining on the front, it can’t be right for a two thousand dollar bag right? ( after they increased price today it’s more close to three grand).

What a bummer- it would bug me. I was in Vienna 2 weeks ago and noticed the same thing. I was lucky for they had 3 PM Creams in stock that didn't have the sloppy glazing issues.. So there was a price increase? It must not be updated on the US web site. Currently, $2230.00. What is the new price?

Thanks for your reply. Somehow my phone directed me to the ca website so I mistakenly thought there was a price increase. Now I definitely will return the bag and maybe get a black one.

What was their reason? How the heck are you supposed to know if all your things will fit? That’s ridiculous! Better to find out in the store than buy it, take it home, and then have to bring it back for a refund because it doesn’t work for you!

IKR! I think the SA was new because she said they didn't want to get the inside of the bag dirty. I'm not a dirty person either and I was dressed nice and carrying my other LV with me at the time. I was insulted and didn't buy anything that day and went back another day and saw another SA who has become one of my fave people!

My husband went through a high end luxury reseller to secure a Pochette Métis with a production of May 2019. Normally I’m very skeptical of transactions like this but it came with a gift receipt and the QR code sticker that my other items from store came with. However upon closer inspection of the bag I noticed that the bag seems to be more matte then the rest of my other bags and even its own strap. The store refused to authenticate it saying it’s against store policy. Wondering if anyone notice a similar issue where the leather finish seemed a touch Moreno matte than standard LV bags. I included a picture. Everything else about the bag seems to check out.

My PM in mono I just picked up from the store - after ordering online. So far it seems pretty good! Hoping I don’t run into any issues but glad to hear overall Lv is standing behind their products. Overall pretty happy with it and can’t wait to start using it! It’s made in the USA. Does anyone have one that’s made in the US? Any thoughts on how it’s holding up? I really wanted a made in France but it’s honestly seems like luck of the draw.

Have you noticed a more matte finish to yours? Mine seems to not be as shiny as it’s straps and my other bags. I even went into the store to compare and it seems more matte.

I don’t blame you for being insulted! I doubt you were planning to stuff a smelly tuna sandwich or leaky water bottle in the bag! Good for you for leaving.

Hi ladies. Random question. I noticed on the inside of the clasp /s lock mechanism, some have a black color mechanism on the inside and others have a gold color one. What do hi ladies have? Please see pic for reference.

My bag had developed some minor cracking in the glazing where the flap flexes when you open the bag. I also had a popped stitch on the back zipper pocket. I am not sure why it was deemed defective - my guess is it may have been too labor intensive to fix the stitch. My ikat NF melted. My PM was not melting like my NF. That was a disaster like your speedy.

Oh good! Thanks for putting my mind at easy lol. I didn’t want the glaze melting like the speedy.
