I was thinking about doing the same thing, but sure hate to spend the extra money just in hopes of getting a quality bag. I just received a psm in monogram and the alignment on the front is quite off. How it was packaged made it look like it was a return also. Would like to hear others’ thoughts on the issue!I just got my psm backpack in regular canvas and it has some weird dents in the back, I am thinking of just purchasing the world tour so that I know that i am not getting the frequent flyer returnees that they keep cycling. Is this a good idea? Or do the psm backpack that are customized also have peeling issues? It's ridiculous that I have to pay $700 more just to get quality that should be owed to a $2k bag, but I have always wanted a psm backpack and don't want any other new lv bags (I love vintage lv though). No clue what to do.
