I will chime in. I don’t have tons of bags but for example my PM mono is made in USA, while the side stitching of the little leather that holds the hook for the strap looks like a new employee made it, lol, it doesn’t affect the bag or it’s sturdiness. I love the rest of the bag.
Recently I found a PM in store made in Italy. Strap smelled awful it was sent to replace. The rest of the bag smelled a bit but comparing w all my other bags I never smelled that before. It looked like someone used it and they cleaned it? Ewww back it went.

My recent PM reverse is made in USA. I’m scared because of all the dullness/cracking issues it so far it looks good.
I do have two neverfulls made in USA both good but the pochette of the ebene was sent to reglaze. Also a boite chapeau souple made in France which looks perfect. Onthego made in France looks perfect. (It was exchanged from a made in USA that had an issue inside, the red lining was pinched)
Delightful mm and other bags made in USA good as well no issues so far.

zippy coin purse vivienne balloon Christmas... made in France and has one of the sides wavy! I’m waiting to see if they receive another to exchange it. But for now is in the box without being used :(

Oh ok...based on your experience there doesnt seem to be a difference, hit or miss more or less.
By the way, your pm reverse looks great! I wouldnt worry too much about the cracking issues; if you have an issue LV has to stand by their product
 
FYI Neiman Marcus Roosevelt Field had the Mono and Reverse PM as of 25 minutes ago

I wish I saw this earlier. Would’ve took the drive out there to take a Look :biggrin: I think I am taking a break from stalking the Reverse. After three failed attempt and then seeing all the dullness Of the canvas makes me think twice. LV needs to step their game up. I understand the bag is in high demand but that doesn’t mean rush to make it and make defective bags.

Currently debating about the empreinte instead.

Awh... call in the morning, they may still have it. I also have the Rose Poudre in Empreinte but only use it in Spring/Summer. I have to admit I grab for my Reverse often.
Good Luck with your decision.

Brought these beauties to work with me!!!
Pochette metis made in the USA
Mini pochette made in france

Btw I compared my metis to my speedy and ellipse backpack and the canvas looks exactly the same so luckily mine did not have the dull canvas issue [emoji854]

They look beautiful!

What week was your PM made? My PM in reverse canvas also looks good to me, but I keep reading these negative reviews about the dullness of the canvas and second guessing my eyes, basically. :)
 
My datecode is SD 3179, so it's the new canvas. I love that its dull and grainy. Am I the only one?View attachment 4590591
Mine looks similar and it was produced in week 41, if I remember correctly. I also do not find the canvas repulsive. And I hate that people are calling it "dull". It is more subtle, sure, but you can obliviously still very clearly see the logos.

I also hope that they tested this canvas and had a good reason to change it. Hopefully, it won't be that prone to cracks!

THIS! People are getting to be a bit crazy complaining about "problems" I wouldn't have ever noticed!
