I purchased a mini pochette within the last 2 weeks (in store) and the date code is SF1178 so the 17th week of 2018 but where has it been for 8 months? The mini pochette are supposedly so hard to get but this one was made 8 months ago yet just now arriving in store in December 2018, I just don't get it.
Gotta admit that'd bother me too. What condition was it in when you got it? When I got my regular PA it was "allegedly" sitting at their warehouse for 2 months before they shipped it to the store for me. I didn't make a fuss as my general rule is a bag that's been made over a month ago would deem to be unacceptable; however due to it being an unicorn and after hearing rumors that turned out to be true about LV changing up their service policies i.e. no more waiting lists; I decided against another return.
8 months is a looooong time to idly sit at a warehouse or wherever..is it in brand new condition...it's up to you what you wanna do..
