Hello The Favorite MM is such a hard gem to buy new nowadays so I finally took a chance and bought her preloved on Poshmark. I have no doubt of her authenticity and I think the seller kept her in excellent condition. The canvas and inside is spotless except for minor scratches on the logo, which I excepted.
When it arrived, I was ecstatic. However, after first wear, I noticed a faint horizontal indent on the front flap. It's not visible if you look directly at the bag, but at an angle, you can see an indent in the canvas where the inner-lining is placed. After doing research, I realized that this is a VERY common defect that has been reported by many owners. I couldn't believe I didn't know about this before I had purchased. I don't think it's necessarily caused by the seller because the bag was well kept. However, I've read many mix reviews on why this crease happens and it could be caused by improper storage, or just because the magnet pull is too strong on the front, causing the leather to indent. No matter what, it's still considered LV's flaw/defect.
I really love this bag to the point where I think I can ignore this. Plus, I don't think my crease(s) is as bad as some of the ones I've seen online. However, because of this reason, I've started to think that maybe I might've overpaid for her? With tax, I paid $1,625.20. Yes, it's definitely over the boutique price (Present me hates past me for skipping out on this bag every chance I got) but I've seen some go for over $2k in fair condition, which I think is ridiculous. It's too late for a return, but honestly speaking, I am still happy to have her. I am curious as to how much this bag usually goes for resale and whether or not I overpaid...? What do you think? Thanks!
