Hi! Ordered this iena from LV online. It’s is MIF which I was happy about. I am concerned abt the pattern not lining up. I have other LVs and have been lucky enough not to have this happen before so I don’t know if I should return or live w it. The next one I buy may be worse if I return this one. I contacted LV customer service via email and sent pics. They replied back w a thoughtful email which basically said it is within our standard of quality but I can return or exchange if I wish. Please let me know if this is a deal breaker for y’all! ❤️ I did post each side
For comparison. The issue is only one side of bag

Hi Iéna Lvers! 
My husband would like to treat me with as nice present
for a special occasion coming up and I am looking at several designs now. The Iéna was on my wishlist a long time.. I had to return one in bad condition and let go of it. It never really left my mind though and I am reconsidering...
I would like to know how your lovely Iénas in Damier Azur or even Mono are holding up.
I am especially interested in the condition of these things after years/extensive use :
-the light pink lining (marks?easy to clean?)
-the (curling) tabs at the side (how bad is it?)
-the hole for the lock (stretched?)
-the pattern fading (blue square are rubbing of)
-corner wear (holes?)
-and how does it look with a lot of patina???
I already checked resale sites and thats a good starting point.... but you never know how lit up the pictures are and if the person who used it was gentle and never sat in on the ground and put a clothes pin on the side to keep the tab down or if the person threw it everywhere ...
So please tell me honestly about it and it would be great to see pictures as well !
THANK YOU! 
That’s a tough decision! You would think it should be better lined up.
Mine is a bit more lined up compared to yours. One side is perfect and the other is slightly off. Mine is also more wrinkled from being in the box than yours.
I’m on the same boat though, as I bought mine with a minor imprint and small dot on the front center vachetta leather. I’m debating on exchanging or living with it. I agree, the next one may or may not be better and it’s more difficult with stores being closed currently. It would be nice to compare to another one in store, if it’s in stock.
Bump!

Anyone any long term experience with the Azur? I am torn between ebene and azur
The damier eben MM is available now on the US website if anyone is interested. I just joined the club
Those with long-time Ienas...have you had wear on the corners or canvas ripping where the handles connect? Also, do you ever carry a laptop in it? TIA!
Please share your Iéna!!!
Is it MIF?That is so strange. It‘s always or very often on the US site and over a year I have been told by the hotline and in store that its not discontinued but not available.... (I’m in Europe) and then last week - when I was about to get the Azur one (cause I have sold a speedy azur and totally regret it now- I miss my Azur
) well suddenly ... I saw it 
Just about the right time when my hubby wants to surprise me! awesome!!! And he ordered it!!! SO EXCITED ! 
This is the only Damier Ebene without screaming red or baby pink interior !! I will post it as soon as I have it.I just ordered it last night and it has been shipped today so I don't have it just yet but will update when I get it!Please share your Iéna!!!

I haven’t decided yet. My SA let me know I have time since the stores are still closed. I think I’m going to try to wait and see if I can compare to another one in the store, whenever they open again. It’s hard not to start using it, though! I also like how yours isn’t wrinkled like mine!
