If I didn't know it was sent directly to me from LV I would think it was a fake. No way I'm keeping it.

I remember when this came out and a friend of mine was looking at a few of them ...she commented that the glazing was a bit sloppy on them and looked like this. Beautiful color.
Hi guys!
So I recently ordered my first LV handbag and I picked out the classic monogram Pochette Métis. I was trying it on and when I grabbed the bottom of it I noticed it felt bubbled/warped so I looked and it looks warpy. Is that a normal characteristic of this handbag? And the flap is kinda warped weird too, I think.
Let me know what you guys think, cause this is my first time owning this bag and having it in my hands, so I’m not sure what to expect.
Thank you!
hi All, i just got mine 4 hours ago! its MIF and at first look, its perfect! its a birthday gift to myself!
It has the new code and the glazing is perfect (or maybe I was super excited that all I see is beauty!) I cannot wait to enjoy it!

It's normal for the bottom I've had a few and they've been the same. Store it slightly stuffed and also using it will help. Not sure what you mean by the flap feeling warped but again when you start using it, it should improve. Sometimes in storage and transit It may be amongst other bags in one large box to the stores so can be a little out of shape at first
Mine had a few of them on the side of the bag and they did not go away with use.
Mine doesn't have that issue but I think it should go away with use as the canvas softens and "relaxes."
I was thinking that too, since canvas from what I’ve seen can crinkle a bit easier
The flap kind of flips upwards if that makes sense. It actually doesn’t bother me too much. It’s the bottom that bothered me the most but if it’s normal then I won’t worry about it. Thank you!
The misalignment is too much. I would not take it. The whole backside is off by 1/2 of flower. How can this pass quality control??
I KNOW, I'm truly perplexed. I have never seen a monogram bag from LV as bad. I'm shocked it was considered acceptable and put in a store for sale. The front top panel is the worst part to me. The LV and flower not even close to being centered over the latch.
Edited: sorry I didn’t notice you are looking for the reverse. I was referring to the normal monogram PM.
I’m from Singapore and I have gotten mine in store. You can ask the staff to check for stock in other stores and run over if any as most LV stores in Singapore are really close by.
It seems like the numbers of PM have increased lately and more stocks are coming. Hope you get yours soon!

Hi all.
I recently stopped by my local LV store and spotted a PM in classic mono print. It was the quickest purchase in history. In my excitement and joy and I never thought I'd ever own this bag I neglected to fully inspect the bag. According to the date code, it was made week 35 of 2019, in USA. When I got home I took a closer look and noticed potential quality issues. There are rough glazing around the bag and shoulder strap. There are also sloppy stitching on the interior lining and the outside bottom of the bag. I also noticed that the canvas is more flexible, less structured, squishy almost. The back of the bag is also longer than the main and front compartments so the bag does not sit own its own, but rather tips forward and completely falls over. I've attached some images if you guys can please take a look and let me know if this is normal. Or perhaps I'm overly critical. Thank you in advance and I appreciate your input.
