    I sent in a bag to get repaired. I had new handles and lining put on it because they were pretty worn. Getting the bag returned to me was a process. I had to keep trying to contact the company and they ended up eventually overnighting it to me because I waited for months to get it back and had no contact from them until I initiated it. I was informed it would be $300 for the repairs which was fine.

    When I got the bag back it had a big slit in the leather that wasn't there when I dropped it off and it was such a hassle to talk to Louis Vuitton to try to get any information out of them and then once I did they kept saying that the slit was already in the leather and I said if that was the case why didn't they inform me of that before they continued with the repairs and he said they should have but they are refusing to do anything for me so after already spending over $1,000 on a bag and then another $300 for repairs they just kind of told me oh well and tried to make it sound like the slit was already in the bag when I dropped it off which it wasn't...

    For being a high-end luxury brand you would think they'd have better customer service but I have had better customer service dealing with Walmart Target anywhere like that when you have an issue than dealing with this overpriced brand. They have terrible customer service and they basically ruin your bag and then tell you that it was there when you dropped it off.

    On June 11th 2017, My husband purchased the Artsy MM MNG at your Chicago Store located at 919 Michigan Ave. Chicago, IL 60611. He paid $1960 plus tax. I was excited to own my 1st Louis Vuitton handbag. Most women who have a love for handbags wants to at least have a Louis Vuitton in their collection. Instead of starting with your least expensive Speedy 25, My husband wanted to get me the purse I really wanted which was the Artsy MM MNG. Unfortunately, the product hasn’t held up very well. I’ve only carried this handbag approx. 3-4 times a year on special occasions. I wanted my purse to be preserved and last for years is the reason I decided not to carry it so often.

    One day approximately 1 1/2 years ago I decided I wanted to carry my purse. I noticed some white ash looking spots in 2 areas of the purse where the letters (LV) were erased. I was dismayed by what I noticed. I called the store where it was purchased and they told me to bring the handbag in to see if it could be repaired. The store repair manager “Will” informed us that our purchase was out of the 1-2 year window and it was nothing they could do. This was very disappointing news. Not only was I angry from the news but how “Will” spoke to us was very insulting. We own handbags from Gucci, MCM, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Coach and others and they are older than this Louis Vuitton purchase. Some over 12+ years and they are in excellent condition. Never had a problem with peeling or even letters fading off the purse.

    After further research, I found several other customers nationwide who purchased the same Artsy MM MNG handbag and had very similar experiences. This seems to be a nationwide problem with this particular purse or batch that was manufactured. To resolve this problem, I’m asking that your company please make this right so that I can continue to be a lifelong customer. I’m embarrassed to carry the handbag with missing letters. I would appreciate if your company would do something to make this right. I have several family members who have owned your handbags and they have NEVER experienced anything like this. Enclosed you will see photos of my handbag and the original receipt. Also, please view posts from Google concerning this same model of purse. I look forward to your reply to my issue.

    I purchased a purse, wallet, luggage, shoes and scarf last year 2021. The first issue I had was with purse. It broke from inside the material which cause handle to break. Took it to store, they had to ship it off. I was told to see if it could be repaired and it would take 6 weeks due to covid. They end up calling me 3 weeks later stating they have to replace with a new bag and I can come pick it up at store. Then my slides, my right shoe came apart as I was walking. Took it to store. They immediately said it couldn't be fixed and couldn't be replaced. I asked to speak to manager, she took pictures and said she would call me.

    She called me a week later stating it can't be replaced or fixed because it's not a known issue. She said it was a accidental cause. I said, "What does that mean?" She said she didn't know. I asked for number to corporate because I paid too much money for the slides. It's rubber underneath and leather on top. She gave me the 800# number and said, "Call them." I called them, they told me they repair shoes and those shoes couldn't be repaired because they are third party. I asked for number for corporate once again. I was transferred and that person said there was no number to corporate, just an email. I emailed corporate. They sent me an email back saying shoe can't be replaced or repaired.

    I found an article were fake products was being sold so now it has me questioning their products. I received a call from Louis Vuitton asking me to text her pictures of shoe and they will look at them and call me. She called a week later stating shoes can't be repaired or replaced. I was already told that so I don't why she called in the first place. I purchased shoes from Gucci,Versace, Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Red bottoms, etc, never had a problem with shoe, sandal, glasses etc. This has been the worst experience. I can no longer spend my money with Louis Vuitton. They don't care about the consumer.

    I bought the bag for my wife about 6 months ago. One of the straps is already cracked. She is more careful with that d**n bag than she is with our kids. I'm being sarcastic but she cares for it very well. We have talked to LV twice and they have been terrible. One option is to send it in and let them look at it (even though we sent pictures and tried to video chat as suggested on the website). They are telling us it would take 6 months to repair and cost us $350.00. I paid over $2500.00 for the bag, and it is pretty ridiculous to hear that this "luxury item" will cost us another $350 to repair, 6 months after purchasing it.

    One customer care rep actually told me, "6 months is a long time to have a luxury bag." Um... no. We have diaper bags from Target that cost $40.00 that haven't broken down after 10 years of use. My old gym bag from college has held up better and it is 15 years old. And they actually take a beating. So no, 6 months isn't a long time to have a "luxury" bag. Neverfull? Never again. Same goes for any other LV product. Garbage product and garbage customer service.

    I have been trying to order a hot stamped wallet for my son’s graduation. This was a time sensitive order. The first wallet was defective with the stamp misaligned and along the seam (photos were sent). I was recharged to have another wallet sent and upon opening the SEALED box, there was no wallet in the dust cover. After spending 45 min & 90 min on respective calls to customer service, I still have no wallet. I am being told to reorder the wallet at my expense & I will now have to wait 14 days for an investigation and my $1208 to be refunded. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced especially from a so-called high-end retailer. I have been a loyal LV customer for years (I own 6 bags). I will never shop from your company again. This whole transaction of defective products and empty sealed boxes is your mistake, not the customer’s mistake. Please do better.

    I purchased an Artsy bag a few years ago (3) at a Louis Vuitton store in Aruba. At the time of the purchase the consultant told me it was an investment piece that would last a lifetime so you can imagine my surprise after spending nearly 3K on a purse that it would start to wear at the corners. I have had purses I have paid much less for that I have owned for years that have never shown wear. Since the clerk at the LV store told me that LV stands behind their products I reached out to them through the app, I sent the requested pictures and scheduled a call and to my surprise I get an email back saying there is nothing they can do for me. After paying nearly 3k and hearing from the sales rep about the quality I figured it would hold up. I still can’t believe the corners are showing wear (lots of wear). LV will not stand behind their product. I have a colleague who also had the same experience with 2 of her bags and LV would not stand behind those either.

    I purchased 2 items in store, in Las Vegas, they didn’t have stock so I placed the order to be shipped. My sales rep confirmed my orders were shipped, received and signed for which is not valid. UPS was showing both items were signed for by CV **. There is no CV ** at the address. After I submitted the claim, UPS showed up at my parent’s door saying they failed to get a signature and asked my mom to sign off on the packaged. She confirmed the items were never received and didn’t sign. Trying to dispute with my credit card has been a disaster. LV has lied about me purchasing the product and receiving product at time of purchase to now saying product was received and signed for. Simply not true.

    I ordered a handbag online. When I wasn’t home to sign for the delivery, I was told that they would try again the following day. The first rep that I spoke to was fine, he told me to create an account with them and then they would have the ability to deliver to my local UPS store. So, when I called back to change the delivery option, the operator was absolutely horrendous. She outright refused to accommodate me and refused to connect me with a supervisor. She was rude, dismissive and arrogant. Buyer beware if you order anything online.

    I purchased this eyebrow product recommended by Byrdie only to discover the gel was dried up and therefore useless. I contacted Benefit Cosmetics and LVMH/Louis Vuitton. Benefit Cosmetics responded, basically disinterested with no offer of assistance and claimed this was very unusual. LVMH/Louis Vuitton never responded. After some online research, I discovered that this is a fairly common problem with this product. I would not recommend this product.

    Placed an order for a purse on November 17 which was supposed to be delivered on November 18. On November 19 I contacted Louis Vuitton to see where the package was. They advised me that it had been delivered, I never received anything from Louis Vuitton! They have been extremely unwilling to work with me and have told me it could take three weeks for UPS and Louis Vuitton to come to a conclusion as to whether or not they will mail another purse or refund my card. This point one week into it. I have no purse and a large charge on my credit card. The absolute worst customer service.

    The worst customer service. I never thought that a company of this level can have such a terrible customer service department. I placed an order online and UPS attempted delivery on Wednesday at noon. Delivery required signature, nobody was home so they need to reschedule. I tried to reach out to UPS to see if I can pick it up from their store or schedule afternoon delivery. They said no and LV doesn't allow pick up in person.

    I called LV twice and I talked to the supervisor. They said I can't pick up in person with ID because of safety reasons. I asked them to drop it to my neighbors across the street, they said no. I asked them for any other option to get my package besides taking the day off from work and they said no. I asked for weekend delivery, they said no. I was told the only way to get my package is to be home and sign for it. I don't know why they don't put on their website that you need to be unemployed or to work from home to receive their packages. It would've saved me a lot of time and stress. I wasted 2 hours today with no result. My package is gonna be returned to them.

    I am only sharing this because I feel like consumers need to know what they are potentially dealing with when they return purchased items back to this fashion house. I purchased three small SL goods, one from the boutique in SLC and the other two were purchased online. After receiving the items, I had a change of heart and decided to return them. Louis Vuitton's return policy requires you to return the items within 30 days of the purchase date. I held to these items until the 30th day because I was still pondering whether I was going to add them to my collection but ultimately decided to return the items back to the boutique.

    I took all three items back to the store to return. My items were examined by the SA and the SA’s manager. I was informed that the store can issue a refund for the item purchased at the boutique but they will have to ship the items bought online back to the warehouse because they were purchased through PayPal (Which I am glad I used but will explain later). I explained to the SA and manager that I only had one return shipping label with me for the two items they were shipping back to the warehouse. I was told that they are able to retrieve and download the additional shipping label from the LV online account.

    This said I was issued a refund for the one item bought at the store and the remaining two items were left at the store to be shipped back to the warehouse. I was informed that the person who handles returns was gone for today but will call me tomorrow with information about the return. Additionally, I was provided with this person’s business card.

    By mid-day the following day I called the person who is over returns and shipments at the store inquiring about the receipt and shipment of my return. By the end of the day, I receive an email from the store noting that BOTH items were shipped back to the warehouse using the ONE shipping label I brought to the store. For those who shop with LV you know their return shipping label is unique to that specific purchase and to use as a buyer. The issue I faced was having the warehouse account for only the item identified by that shipping label and not the second item the store had put in the box. Furthermore, the store had reassured me that they would retrieve the second label and send the items separately. I called the LV 1-800 immediately noting this and they stated they notes this on my account.

    Fast forward a week later, I received an email from Louis Vuitton and PayPal noting a refund was initiated for one of the SL items sent but not the other. I was issued a refund for $589 for one item but the $890 for the other item send back to them. After two days of calling to try to locate the second item, I asked to speak to the manager which is their escalation team.

    The following day (Day 3 of them receiving the items) I was told that they did receive the second SL item but was not in “pristine” condition and was being sent back to me. I asked the associate on the escalation team to provide clarification about the item not being in pristine condition because it had not been used. Equally important, if it was not in pristine condition, it meant they had sent me an item that was not in pristine condition. Lastly, I asked for them to provide me the tracking number noting the item was being returned back to me (this Wednesday of that week). Each day thereafter I would call inquiring about the tracking number. Each time I was told that they (the warehouse) have not uploaded that information.

    By Monday of the next week, I called again inquiring about my $890 small leather good that was sent back to them and the tracking number noting that they have sent it back to me. The team member I spoke to stated that they are going to escalate my request higher than the escalation team. Fed up, I contacted PayPal explained this long-drawn-out process, and initiated my buyer protection with them with a dispute. In the dispute, I specifically requested either a tracking number noting the item was shipped back to me or a refund for the item sent back which was $890. Two days later I received notification from PayPal noting that they had decided in my favor and was issued a refund of $890. Shortly thereafter, I received an email from Louis Vuitton noting that they had received my SL (the item she noted the previous week was sent back to me) and were issuing me a refund.

    All this said I am unsure if I would have received a refund if I had not filed a dispute with PayPal. More concerning, I am unsure if I would have received my purchased item back. I was told 5 days prior that my item was shipped back to me. For all those who have purchased from LV notes their communication is very clean and efficient when you purchase from them online. You receive an email noting the tracking information and estimated date of delivery. This information is also populated to your LV account. Likewise, for all of my LV purchases bought online I had to sign for the delivery. I have to question why was this communication not as clean and efficient for a return? My overall recommendation to anyone purchasing online from LV is to use PayPal to purchase so you will have some form of protection as a buyer if there is a need to return your item.

    I bought a pair of shoes at the end of 2019 and it has hardly been worn. It has a clasp for the shoestring and the clasp was defective. I went back to the store to try to get it repaired. They told me that it was bought too long ago and they would not repair it. I paid almost $2000 for the shoes. Repair policy should be based on amount of use and not when the purchase date is. I have spent over $20,000 at this store. That is awful customer service for a luxury brand. I will never purchase anything from them again. Have a close look at the shoe and you can see that it is virtually new. Very disappointing.

I explained over and over again that, "I never wore them. I want to exchange them for a smaller size." Well... By the end of it I feel so small... I asked what solution would be. She basically told me to leave. I'm in shock. Doesn't matter if you first time experiencing LV or return client, nobody should ever feel like that...

It’s a little better but not even fully fixed.

There is a little stain on the leather which was not there prior. Both times I had to pick up my purses I was not brought into the store. The bag was not personally shown to me so we could go over it. I was standing outside the door and tossed a bag basically hears your prayers goodbye.

    While LV stands behind its products, getting a repair done is a whole new terrible experience!!! When you purchase you get great customer service, a smile, a bag with a bow of LV ribbon. With repair, it is a cold send off an email for estimate, send in your bag and then wait and wait and wait! I sent in two bags, identical mind you. One is black and one is plum. Same model, size and year. I really love this bag and the Epi leather. :-) Both are estimated the same for repair (two new handles and a clasp) and both have the same estimate for repair. The black bag came back in 7 weeks and was sent adult signature required to my home. No chance to change the address to my work so, a vacation day was spent waiting for my bag. But, it was back home. :-)

    I am now on week 18 for the plum bag and after calling every two weeks, received the same line, it is being repaired and these things take time. We have the parts (back in June) and that is the delay (now mid Aug). Um...no! The other bag took 7 weeks with obtaining parts and repair. What is going on? I'm told I can't have my bag back. There is no estimate for completion and I can try and ask for someone else but they will tell me the same thing, the rep says. Wow! This sucks and I have no choice because my bag is being held hostage! Care services says they are aware of my item and will investigate. Blah, Blah, Blah.

    This company has crap communication! Guess what I was just told, "the repair is in progress and I will receive an update soon."! More hot air. That was the same message two weeks ago. The bag that was repaired looks great but beware, you may be out a lot of money when your repair enters the Louis Vuitton "Bermuda" Repair Triangle!

    I got the tote for my 65th birthday, I was so excited to get this bag. It came with the clutch and after a week the metal pull came off. Lucky I had it and was about to take it to be fixed, put back on. My daughter who bought the bag said they do repair and all you have to do is contact them. Well I did. They asked me to take detailed pictures of the clutch which I did and I was so happy I did. They approved the clutch to be fixed and sent me the return label which then sent it in.

    Got the clutch back and I saw damage on the clutch it self, and determined this was not mine, it also smelled inside. I sent pictures of the returned clutch with the pictures of the one I sent in and after 4 days or so no response so I decided to call. After one hour they said they needed to look at the pictures and get back to me. After a few days they emailed me stating that they determined that the damaged clutch did not happen during at repair and I could purchase another for $240, WHAT? This bag is $2,000. I should pay for their damage and not even my clutch? I now am MAD, I then called and spoke to another person on hold again for at least an hour sending pictures back and forth then on hold again going back and forth. Finally said they would replace it but I would need to take off the strap located on it, what? Okay well at least I got it replaced. Then I got confirmation with receipt to sign and a label to send the clutch back and they would replace it.

    WELL I see that the receipt says LInda **, who is that? SO I called back again another hour on hold for them to fix this AGAIN. She said I would have a new receipt by the end of the day, well it's the end of the day and nothing has been sent.

When I came into the store to see if they could repair or exchange (after 30 days due to pandemic and my comfortability) the manager at the Short Hills Mall store accused me of spilling hand sanitizer on it. She stated that since I bought online she doesn't know if it's authentic (even though I had the receipt and proof of purchase).

    The brand refused to repair or fix it. What makes me feel even more injustice is that I am a women of color and there was a customer repair before me in which a ** women attempted to have her bag that was purchased 7 years ago fixed in which the handles were chipped and aged and she had no receipt as she stated that she purchased it out of the country. They granted her repair. I will never buy their product ever again or contribute again.

Are there employees theft which Louis Vuitton is not working hard to resolve? It is frustrated for not getting what you want and have to take time to deal with it. I think I am no longer want to purchase from this Luxury Brand.

    Buyer beware. Purchasing from a luxury brand like Louis Vuitton doesn’t mean their customer service or quality assurance will be any better than any other company. I stalked the website for 6 weeks for the elusive Felicie Pochette in Monogram Canvas before I was finally able to snag one off the website on April 24, 2021. I received my order on May 1, 2021 with the intention of giving it as a gift on May 8, 2021. The recipient of the gift was with me on the day I received my shipment so I was not able to open the package and verify the contents. On May 2, 2021, I opened the package to verify the contents. It was at this time that I became aware that the gold strap/chain was missing from my order. I was baffled that it would be able to leave the fulfillment center like this. When you’re spending $1200+ on a small clutch, you would expect there to be a decent level of quality assurance and it would come with all the required components.

    I incorrectly assumed this would be an easy fix. I contacted Louis Vuitton client services on May 2, 2021 and was told by the CA that the department that would be able to handle this for me was not in the office in the moment, but she would follow up with me later that day or at the very latest, the next day. May 3, 2021 came and went and I received no call back. On May 4, 2021, I called Louis Vuitton client services again for an update on my issue. This time the CA advised me that the department responsible had opened a ticket and I would be receiving a replacement overnighted to me. I should expect the tracking number to be emailed to me in less than 24 hours. 24 hours later on May 5, 2021, I had not received a tracking number and no update on my issue.

    On May 5, 2021, I contacted Louis Vuitton client services again. This time the CA advised me that everything I had been told previously was incorrect. They would not be able to ship me a replacement immediately. My options were 1. To return the item for a full refund, or 2. Wait 4-6 weeks for a replacement strap/chain to be mailed to me. Neither of these options seemed acceptable to me. The Felicie Pochette is available in different colors/materials for purchase on the site right now. How can they continue selling this item with an identical strap/chain without first fulfilling their orders that have already been shipped and received and make their current customers whole? I’m also not going to return this item and risk never being able to order it again as it is a very popular and hard to find item.

    I advised the CA that neither option was acceptable and I wanted to speak to a manager. After being placed on hold for 15 minutes, the CA advised me that his manager was occupied and would call me back in less than an hour. Here we are, 12 hours later and I have not received a call back. I’m completely baffled at the lack of quality assurance and customer service from a luxury brand. Shipping an item without the required components is bad enough, but then telling a customer who has already paid for an item that they have to wait 4-6 weeks to be made whole is unacceptable.

Took it back to the store, they told me sometimes the magnets don’t line up. It was not overfull at all they agreed.

    They have a automatic system that process their orders. If you have a different billing and shipping address, the system automatically cancels your order! You have to either drive to a store to pick the items up. Which there is not many locations or go without the items. Forget that! I will continue keeping my money in my pocket.

    The worst online purchase experience ever!!! Never buy from Louis Vuitton online, it is very frustrating and unbelievably dumb. I waited for 2 months for a wallet that I purchased as a gift for my bf. In the end, I am convinced that my package is lost and never coming. Despite my multiple attempts trying to be patient and work with LV and UPS to try and locate my package, they continue to try and pass off my problem and both keep telling me to contact the other party and that there's nothing more they can do. So in the end, I took matters into my own hands and called my bank to refute my purchase.

    Number of things LV did wrong:

    1. Begin with sending the wrong tracking info with my shipped email. Had to call them a week later to get the right tracking number.

    2. I bought the product on their Canadian site and paid all the appropriate taxes but package was shipped from US.

    3. The new tracking # showed from the beginning that it was "missing important documents" and that might delay delivery.

    4. My package end up sitting in custom clearance over 2 weeks.

    5. Called LV on the progress of my shipment and possible missing documentation and I was told "why would there be any problem with the paperwork" and refused to look into the concern.

    6. Called LV to try and start a claim with UPS on what's going on with my package and next time I called the claim was closed and nothing recorded or any information/update on my package.

    7. Kept calling between LV and UPS on where my package is and no one is able to give me any clear answer or offer any solution to my problem.

    8. Even after my expected delivery date, I called LV to help me track my package. One associate simply said well the tracking shows the package "in transit" and in her "experience" it means it's in custom and there's nothing they can do and it can just be months. Even though on the UPS tracking shows it's just been sitting in an Canadian warehouse for weeks and nothing about in Clearance.

    9. I had to take matters in my own hands and started a claim myself with UPS and was given 8 business days to resolve this issue and was told to contact my shipper about the result.

    10. After waiting another 2.5 weeks I called LV for the result of the UPS claim but was told that because I didn't open claim through them they will not be able to receive any report from UPS. EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD SPECIFICALLY BY UPS THAT THE RESULT WILL BE ONLY SENT AND DISCLOSED TO THE SHIPPER.

    11. In the end UPS refuse to directly tell me the result of my claim and keep telling me that I have to contact the shipper. And LV keeps telling me that there's nothing more they can do for me because they didn't open the claim and that I will have to contact UPS directly moving forward with my claim and they won't be able to open another claim.

    12. Thanks a lot for nothing LV! What a joke of a company with all these incredibly incompetent associates.

They only want to repair it in the same exact fashion. This same thing will happen again and then what? I am stuck, it has been over a year, too late. Apparently, I am already too late.

    Returned my wallet which was less than 12 months old. Part of the leather was bubbling. Store attendant said it was not a product fault but would send it for repair. I requested a new wallet, but they didn't do that for me. I then was advised it would take 4-6 weeks to be repaired. It has been 5 weeks since no contact so I called LV- HQ. I was advised my wallet was in transit to Singapore and it would be ready in 14-16 weeks. I am so upset I was lied to by the store attendant, as I will now have no wallet for all my holidays. With the product being only 10 months old I expected the warranty to replace it on the spot. You would think purchasing from such an expensive brand you would not have to wait for a wallet to be repaired especially if it wasn't my fault.

    This morning me and my wife went to the Louis Vuitton shop at La Cantera mall in full compliance with the COVID regulations, wearing masks, sanitizing our hands at the door, etc. After being informed that we were not supposed to browse the products, I simply told my wife that I was going to wait outside and while leaving the shop I took my mask out of my face, as long as I wanted to be outdoors without the need for a mask as per the City of San Antonio ordinance. The shop was empty as we were the only two customers inside the place. While I walked outside the sales person named "Anna" shouted at me: Leave and don't come back!

    Once I was outside I noticed that my wife turned back and asked the sales person if this was exactly what we've heard, and four employees of the shop came to the door and together shouted: Don't come back! They hold the door shut and said that they would call security. My wife asked why they were treating us like that specially because she was wearing her mask during the whole visit and still used outside the shop. Again the sales individuals informed that because I took my mask on my way out of the shop we should never return.

    Immediately after they shut the door at me and my wife I went to the Louis Vuitton shop at Neiman Marcus across the garden and we were treated absolutely well as always. It's absolutely sad to see how can a brand like Louis Vuitton allow this type of treatment to its customers... Disgraceful... I sincerely do not recommend this shop. If you wanna be treated well, go to the Neiman Marcus Louis Vuitton shop, at least they don't shout at you or kick you out like a dog... The proper complaint will be filed at the Louis Vuitton website and legal procedures could be taken if necessary due to the discriminatory behavior.

    UPDATED 4/11/2021: I purchased a Capucine handbag from Louis Vuitton at the Mellinia Mall in Florida about three years now. However just over two years the handle popped. After two months of back and forth, with LV I was able to send the bag back to them for repairs. They sent me the broken bag back stating that they were unable to repair it. I found this quite incredulous as they were the manufacturer of this extremely costly bag. They were unwilling to even respond to my request to receive a call back from someone, anyone regarding me having to toss the bag, the wallet and the shoe that I had purchased as a set.

    No one called, but I received an email expressing their regret and their invite for me to contact the same LV client service who returned the broken bag. I will never spend another penny with LV and I certainly would not recommend them to anyone. This experience was so ridiculous, as I have since repaired the handle by a simple leather repair shop. The bag now looks as if it was never damaged. Shame on LV.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW: In 2018 I purchased a handbag costing approximately $6400.00 from Louis Vuitton Orlando Millenia Mall. Within two months the emblem popped out. They actually replaced it. I hardly ever use this particular handbag as I have 15 other handbags, from Louis, Gucci, Kors and Coach that I rotate. I can honestly say that I have utilized this bag maybe a total of 3 months if I was to add up the days that I use it. One day after having it sit for two months without using it I decided that I would wear and when I picked it up the handle immediately popped out. In horror I took pictures and sent to my Specialist at the store. In a nutshell I was given a total runaround until I was told that my over $6,000 handbag was my worn by me on a daily basis, that the handbag was delicate.

    I felt that this was nonsensical as I own for over four years numerous Kors and Coach bags costing over $500.00 that are still intact. Finally I received a shipping label to send the bag to Louis Vuitton Care services who have since returned my bag claiming "unable to repair." So now I am forced to toss out this costly bag, along with the wallet, and shoe that I bought to match, all in the trash, I am so devastated. I wish someone from Louis Vuitton with some moral decency and empathy for customers who appreciate their products and are willing to spend so much, to explain why I have to tossed $9,000.00 worth of products.

After 10 days of no response, I called their customer service line - which also has long wait times. After finally getting through, she looked up my email and contacted them directly to send a response. They responded offering an assessment and repair estimate pending in person review of the item; however, I had to respond to provide more info and request a shipping label to send it back. I responded.

    Another 10 days went by with no reply. I had to call the number again; they had to intervene again. Then I receive an email stating that after further assessment they CANNOT repair the item. After calling customer service again, they stood by their answer and could not explain why I was given differing opinions. On top of that, I went through this long and arduous process for over a month before being told there was nothing they could do - during which time I could have made other arrangements. We have been loyal LV customers for decades, and to receive this type of response is a terrible way to be treated. I understand delays due to the pandemic etc, but the 7 day response time incorporated those delays and there is no reason for the confusing communication regarding the item. LV has work to do in their service and after-care procedures if they intend to build and retain customer relationships going forward.

I reached out to client services, messenger and Twitter and they’re only apologetic and nothing else. They will email you privately so no one can see they do to help their customers or fix the cheap material they use and sell for $1800. I’ve had bags for $100 that lasted many years and not 1 crack. I put the bag away and not even 3 months later it became worst. I’m convinced Louis Vuitton continues to do this just so they can profit only. There is no way it’s genuine leather. I feel cheated and embarrassed to walk around with that purse.

    I will never make another purchase from Louis Vuitton ever again. I don't recommend anyone spend their hard earned money with Louis Vuitton.

    I purchased a Neverfull GM back in 2014. I do not have a high salary working in the performing arts, but saved up to buy a good bag. The stitching on the handle started to tear so I took it into the Collins Street store in Melbourne on 6th May to be sent to Singapore for repair. I was in the store for about 15 minutes going through everything with the bag including coating tear. It was all agreed that the coating could not be fixed (which I was not worried about) but that the stitching on the handle could either be restitched or the handle would be replaced completely so I could continue to use the bag.

    I received an email a week ago 16th June, saying my bag was ready for collection. I tracked the bag online and there was a note saying it could not be repaired and to call for further details. I had just had surgery on my feet the week prior so I wanted to call to see A. what couldn't be repaired and why. B. my partner would need to pick up the bag so I wanted to know what they needed for ID for him to collect. The girl who answered the call said she had no information. She didn't know why it couldn't be repaired and wasn't sure what the protocol was for someone else picking up the bag. So I asked that someone from the Collins St store call so I could get information. She said someone would call within 24-48 hours (mind you, you cannot call a store direct.... you can only call the general LV number and then they direct you from there).

    Well a week later today (23rd June) and no call. So I call back again and the girl says she'd try to make it a priority for someone to call. She said someone tried to call yesterday, but that A. is not the 24-48 hours I was promised and more importantly.... completely untrue. As since I have had surgery, I am unable to get off the couch so my phone is with me 24/7 and I have no missed calls or voicemail or text.

    Finally the Collins St store called today and said again that it just couldn't be repaired. Frustrated at this point, I asked for more information on why. She said it was the cracked plastic. I explained that we had already addressed that and that I was not concerned about it. I just needed the handle stitching to be repaired. She said maybe they were afraid the plastic would crack more and they didn't want to damage the purse more in case it made it worse. Hello.... isn't that MY call to make?!

    I can't use the bag anyway because the stitching is nearly off from the one handle.... so even if the plastic cracked a bit more, I don't understand why they couldn't restitch or take the handle off and replace it with a new one. Again... why wasn't I asked? Why wasn't it my decision to make? Now I have to just throw it away? I didn't say this to the girl on the phone, but I did express my frustration as to why the Singapore repairs couldn't give her information as to really why the stitching wasn't repaired or why I wasn't given the option that it might crack the plastic a bit more if that was the reason. Her response "Ummmm well can you just come pick up the bag?". UNREAL!

    I feel used by LV knowing how much money I spent on that bag and yes it has been well worn, but to go through that entire process of understanding about a restitch or new handle and then to not be given any answers or choices, they are basically forcing me into the position of throwing the bag out and buying a new one (that I cannot afford right now due to being out of work since all theatres are closed). Not to mention the worse part being the lack of customer service and lies and rudeness. I was planning to buy a different bag down the road when I had an income again as I used to love the bag... however after this awful experience, I'll be taking my hard earned pay check to another company. What a disappointment LV has turned out to be.

    1. Upon delivery, this was left in the building lobby. The UPS driver did not deliver this to the door & get the required signature. This was very unsettling. Had my retired father not been specifically watching out for this delivery, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN STOLEN. 2. Upon opening the box, the bag was stuffed into a really smaller box causing the bag to bend in numerous places right in the middle of the bag. I let the bag sit outside on the table to get the creases out & after that didn't work I contacted LV with the information in my receipt package for an exchange.

    3. Once I contacted the 1-800 number, they initiated the exchange & gave me an new O# **. He also sent me an email with the UPS return label. 4. I contacted UPS who advised that they are not able to accept a digital return label & I should have this return label in my box. I didn't receive any labels in my package. Just a paper outlining Exchanges and Returns & advising me to contact the 1-800 number which I did. Nowhere did this paper state I needed to print off any documents.

    5. UPS advised that I needed to print off the label in order to get this picked up or I can leave my house during quarantine and go to the local UPS store and have it printed & returned that way. Or contact LV and get them to revise the return to an RS1 or RS3 type return so that they can come with the label & pick up from my door.

    6. I then called back the 1-800 LV number who I then spoke to a ZARA, who was veryyyy unprofessional. She advised that LV is a luxury brand "obviously" and that there is no other way to return my purchase and didn't want to listen to any of the information I had received from UPS. I would have much preferred to wait until the store reopened but she also advised that I only have 30 days regardless & it would not be honored if I waited until the stores reopened. I asked to speak with a manager & then was left on hold for 15 minutes with no return from her updating where I am in the queue.

    I hung up & called back & spoke to Christina who was very pleasant and listened attentively & apologized & checked into it for me. She then advised that unfortunately I would need to go to UPS & get the label printed & returned, She also did say that it would take 3-4 business days after the product was confirmed received that they would be shipping out my new bag. I then went to UPS against my better judgement and against the orders of the lockdown to return this. At UPS, they charged me $3.50 to print the return label.

    7. Today is now the 4th business day & I decided to call and get an update on my return & reshipment. I am being very diligent as I want to be on the lookout for when the delivery will come so that it is not left in the lobby again. So now today I am being told that it will take 14 days to have my new bag sent to me??? What kind of nonsense and conflicting information is going on here????

    8. This was a gift, It was also delivered to another address as he didn't want me to know that it was coming BECAUSE AGAIN IT WAS A GIFT. I received a gift receipt but yet still every time I call, They are asking for the purchaser. What was the point of a gift receipt if I cannot speak on this purchase.

That is absolutely insane when this was a gift, I don't understand why the purchaser was emailed & notified of the return. What if I didn't want him to know I was dissatisfied with the gift??? Again purchased many things before, never from here and never had this happen. If someone has a gift receipt, you don't need to have the purchaser information or correspond with the purchaser. So here we are now, waiting for my exchange but needing to go through the purchaser who will get all the correspondence via email. VERY DISPLEASING.

    At the end of November in 2019 I bought the Louis Vuitton onthego gm tote. I wore it three times. Before a week I noticed some white big stains over my bag. I was wondering what is this? I didn’t left the house. Did someone painted the walls? I was trying to clean it with a towel and some Water and it doesn’t seem to

    Get off. Then I was starting to thing that it’s definitely a canvas damage, but I couldn’t find what cause it.. Then I remember that I used a hand sanitizer in spray into my room, but I said noooo, that can’t happen from Hand sanitizer. In a such an expensive bag.

    I call the Louis Vuitton and I told them about my experience and they asked me to send them pictures of the damage as the stores are closed due to the pandemic. I send them pictures and after 3 days they get back to me and they said that the sanitizer changed the colour of the canvas and it’s nothing that they can do. And the bag can’t repair. I close the phone and I was in shock. That’s not possible.. You paid 3.600 for a bag because you think that you will have it for life time and with the slightest it destroyed.

    I looked in the site at the product care and it didn’t say anything about to careful with alcohol or hand sanitizer. Not this specific bag. Some others Bags they had it as a note. So I call them Back and I said, "Why you don’t wrote at the product care that we have to careful with the alcohol or hand sanitizer. You made a bag with a material who is very sensitive to alcohol and you didn't strictly advice not to use it Close to the bag. It’s your rensponsibility."

    After they looked it they said, "You are right in this specific bag. It doesn’t say anything about alcohol or hand sanitizer but it says to never use solvents to clean the bag...." Anyway. Fortunately no bird peed on the bag at any Of the the three times that I took it out because maybe it could melt on the street. My sisters have others luxury bags for so many years and they look like new. And nothing have happened to them even and if obstacles have occurred. The worst quality ever!!! I am wondering how they survive for so many years. Forgive me if my English doesn’t make sense easily. It’s not my first language.

    So after ordering 2 hand bags, a purse and a belt I’ve been waiting for my delivery. They were sent out separate. I just checked my tracking on UPS and wow I signed for it 3 days ago. I wonder if I’m also going to sign for the other 3 items or is the delivery driver treating his wife to some nice goodies on my behalf. What an absolute joke. I hope he received my signature ok from wherever he delivered to or maybe he's going to say he chucked it over the fence.

    My husband ordered Speedy 30 bag for me as a birthday gift to be shipped to our house. Since we’re under quarantine stores are closed. when it arrived it was an empty box no bag, no shipping label nothing, but the UPS box was sealed, which tells me Louis Vuitton never put the bag in there to begin with. Called Louis Vuitton immediately to let them know, they said investigation will take 14 business days, they asked for pictures which we sent, in less than 14 business days Louis Vuitton said they’ve concluded their investigations and that the bag was shipped, we called UPS. They said it’s not their fault. Problem was not on their end.

    We are left out of pocket for almost $2000 and no bag, we’ve reported it to our bank and they say 30 days to investigate. Bottom line do not order anything from Louis Vuitton online. It’s a scam. If you must have an LV item only go to the store. Their online is a scam and the customer service is absolutely horrible!!!

Each person has had a different wording of the same excuse, “Oh I’m so sorry, I don’t know why you’re having so many problems. I’m sure we can take care of it.” Really, truly that was why I called/emailed/hit the chat with representative link and I still don’t have an actual order placed.

    I left my Keepall-55 with the LV store in Atlanta for zipper repair due to defects. The bag in pristine condition was left with the store and I was advised about 4-6 weeks for repairs. I gave explicit instructions to have the repair department call me in advance of any repairs to discuss exactly what they plan to do to my bag, as I was going to cancel the repairs if seemed too extreme. NO RESPONSE.

    I called the 866 number at least 10x to get status updates, etc. Most of the time, no one knows what is going on, finally found out my bag was sent from GA to California for repair. Promised bag would be ready on 2/18, called to get update, person on the phone had NO IDEA what the status was but someone would call me from the store. NO WORD YET! This is so unacceptable on many levels. They flood the store with sales reps, but to get something repaired due to defects is a nightmare!

    I bought a bag online and realized my personalized monogram did not update on checkout and was wrong. I immediately called the 866 number and was told it was too late to make changes or cancel the order and it had already been processed. In this day and age I am shocked that a simple change cannot be made by updating the instructions or sending a email a few minutes after the orde button has been pressed. It’s not like the monogram has already been stamped on the goods. I am stuck with this error now since personalized goods cannot be returned. The only reason I gave it a 2 star vs 1 is because the quality of the products is quite good regardless of this error but there is definitely a problem with this company internally and the culture seems to be one of entitlement and I don’t care or don’t want to do much more work then I have to attitude.

    With 7.4 billion people on earth I guess they feel that there is enough customers to replace the ones that are unsatisfied. I was debating between a YSL bag and a LV one and it looks like I made a poor choice with my 3k. This will definitely play a role in my decision on my next purchase. I guess it’s buyer beware but you don’t think that you will have a issue when you spend this kind of money on a bag.

I can say I am a very satisfied customer and have not experienced the rudeness and disrespect that many have when dealing with LV purchases. My husband has purchased all but one of my LV handbags from the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Fl and 2 pieces from the Tampa location. I do keep my handbags very well but do not pamper them. I just wipe them off and store in dust bag when not in use. I must add, we don't go in looking like bums but we are not like we stepped off the red carpet when we go in.

    I Purchased a Louis Vuitton Speedy 2 years ago from 1 East 57th street in NYC. I recently noticed that the bag had "CRACKS" around the zipper.. I emailed client services with pictures of the bag and told them what had happened. After 1 day of not hearing back I called them to follow up. I was told that they received my email without pictures. I told them I would re-send the pictures. 2 days later I received an email that I was copied on and I don't think they meant to send to me. It was addressed to Amber ** (client services) from ** (client services). "Good Morning Amber, Please advise if bag is DEFECTIVE or normal wear and tear. Client bough it from a Louis Vuitton Store 5th ave two years ago. The bag has crack around the zipper."

    A few days later I received an email stating that I need to bring the bag to a store where trained repair specialists (LOL) Would advise if this could be repaired. I was not able to get to the store until yesterday. I drove over an hour to the West Farms Mall (CT) Louis Vuitton store. I walked in with the bag and a gentleman asked if he could help. I explained everything to him. He said the bag is in beautiful condition. "You take very good care of it. Unfortunately we can not repair this." I was shocked! I said, "I take excellent care of this bag. Please explain how this could have happened." He said perfume, cream or hand sanitizer!!!! Really??!!! "Oh yes" he said. "IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!" I don't even touch my bag with wet hands! I don't believe this at all!

    With that being said I would never buy OR recommend another Louis Vuitton. If you use Hand Sanitizer, Hand Cream or Perfume chances are your bag will CRACK underneath the zipper.

How is this right? I'm filing complaints with all the agencies who can help, not only out of principle but because this metis was one of the gifts I received when I turned a certain age (not 25).

After almost 8 weeks, I was contacted and advised the handle was actually replaced and the bag looked brand new. The bag arrived and yes the handle is brand new, however, I am totally dissatisfied as the bottom of the bag’s leather is aged and the new handle looks ridiculous. Based on the fact there was a quality issue with the handle, LV should have replaced all the leather on the bag. I have much less expensive handbags of greater quality.

    On April 18 my husband placed an online order for a handbag for my birthday, 7 days later. He received in a timely manner and hid the box until the morning of my birthday. Upon opening the box, we realized that LV had sent the wrong bag! Not even close, it was a Michael backpack. Very disappointed considering my husband was so excited to surprise me with a beautiful bag I had wanted for a while.

    I called customer service and advised them of the mix up, to which they didn’t seem all that concerned. They said I can exchange for what I really want but first I need to send the backpack back, and “upon receipt and inspection which can take up to 14 days” I would then be sent out the replacement. Because my husband wanted it to be a BIRTHDAY gift, on my BIRTHDAY... Not sometime in 2023 when the exchange is processed (at this rate) we decided to just place a second order for the right bag, and do a full return on the original but wrong order.

    First bag was sent back and received/signed for May 1. On May 8, I called to follow up. And if you think the first part of this review is bad - hold tight 'cause this is where it goes from bad to horrible customer service. I explained the situation, and provided my order number. The rep said she had no record of that order but “they should have received it by now”. What?? I asked if there was a return label issued, how is there no record, and what about the refund for the original purchase... The rep ended up finding the order but said it had been cancelled. How was it cancelled, if we were charged, and received a package (although wrong) and were issued a return label... Unreal. It’s like they just say anything on the phone with no solution to the problem.

    After much back and forth, the rep sounded like she was just saying whatever to get off the phone and could care less. She advised that “oh yes, we did receive it and issued a refund but it’s your credit card's fault that it’s not showing up”. I got off the phone completely dumbfounded and still have not received a refund. This month alone we’ve spent $4000 at LV and half of that has just vanished into thin air it seems. We are ready to open a chargeback on our card if this isn’t refunded. I have never dealt with such pathetic customer service and am embarrassed for the company if these people are their frontlines.

Was advised I would get at my work in two days. When I didn't get a confirmation the next day about the reroute, I called. Was advised that they couldn't verify my work, so I would not get it delivered to my work. (But I guess if I hadn't called no one would have advised me) When I asked how did you try to verify, no one could tell me the answer. So I spoke with a manager Ezekial, he adv he could have it sent to my local UPS store and gave me the address.

    Received a text the next morning that it was sent to a DIFFERENT UPS location in a nearby city. Called and spoke with Nicky (de-escalation team). She was NO help. Just basically said, "Not sure why Ezekial told you that, it had to go to the other UPS location." I told her I'm not driving an hour to get this when they advised me wrong. You would think they would offer to overnight me a bag to rectify, but I think the writing is on the wall. LV customer service is pitiful. Guess they make too much money to care about me or my order. Then they wanted me to go get the bag to return. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I wasted 2 hours on phone calls, got hung up on and all they can say is sorry. I will be wring the BBB and social media and higher ups. Even if nothing happens, I at least will tell my story.... SHOP another brand!

    My husband and I was shopping in this store. I was looking for a new purse and he wanted a pair of dress shoes. Elein was helping my husband as soon as we walked in. He asked if they had what he wanted. She said no. He walks back to the shoes and they were in the display when he asked for his size. She was very rude. Gave us dirty looks as if we could not afford to be in the store and I was asked repeatedly if it was my first LV product which I stated numerous times it was not. My husband still went ahead with both purchases and the woman followed us out of the store. If this is the way you treat your customers I will never be back again and neither will my husband. It was disgusting.

    I purchased a pair of sneaker socks on February 10th. I received them on the 13th. I call the company who sent me a shopping return label. I shipped them the same day. I was told that I would not receive my shoes until they receive the returned product. Well they received their shoes back and now the item is unavailable. Spoke to several representatives and received several different explanations as to why. I'm in disbelief. I am requesting a refund and will no longer do business with them.

    I purchased the Louis Vuitton Neo Noe a little over a month ago. I am noticing wear on the drawstring. Keep in mind I only used it a few times. Customer service is awful. I purchased this online. They wanted me to bring it into my nearest Louis Vuitton store. Which is 4 hours away. It needs to be repaired. I have been bothering them since last week. I have sent in photos. The only thing that they can do for me is to contact the store to send me a label for repair. I refuse to pay them any more money. Not impressed. No help. Had to keep calling them. Buyer beware.

    My husband surprised me with a beautiful bag for Christmas, however, it wasn’t practical for me to use every day so I went to exchange within the 30 day period. I chose a more expensive bag but the manager, Edwin **, was so rude and refused to exchange my bag. He pointed out how my bag was used, which I told them before I used once. In a condescending tone he stated he could not do anything for me and could not help me at all. He was pointing, with his pinky finger, at “used” areas of the bag which my husband and I did not see what he was talking about. According to Edwin, “we chose not to see them.” For such a high end retail store, the customer service is lacking professionalism and is a disgrace. I'm hoping the email to the store manager from corporate will rectify this situation.

    5 years ago, I purchased a Speedy 35 Damier. Carried it for 6 months when my husband bought me a Neverfull for Valentine's Day. I put the Speedy up. Carried my new bag. Months later I went to carry my Speedy. The edge of bag was cracking along the stitches. I took bag back and was given a new bag. I purchased a wallet to match the Neverfull. Two years later the Neverfull LV signs are rubbing off, there's a crack on each side of the bag. I don't carry heavy things in my bag.

    Around April 2018, I emailed LV headquarters and they blew smoke in my face. Telling me to take it back to the store. I called the store and they said, they don't fix cracks. I asked what am I to do. I believe it's the quality of material LV is using. I bought my 1st LV in 1986, a Speedy and that canvas is a better quality and I have all the signatures on it and no cracks. I realized that LV doesn't stand by their quality, so I resorted to seeing if I can purchase 2 to 4 patches to cover up the 2 cracks, so I won't be embarrassed. And they wouldn't sell me the patches. My next purchase will be the Gucci bag. I have given LV money for a Speedy, Neverfull, a safari scarf, expensive sunglasses, and belt. And they can't stand behind their overprice stuff.

    Do not buy any LV handbags from the Louis Vuitton Nordstrom in Seattle, Washington. You will be sorry if you need to exchange or return handbag. Unprofessional and poor customer service. Complaint & returned of a $1,500 LV Monogram Neonoe handbag at the Louis Vuitton Nordstrom store in Seattle, WA. They are refusing to credit my acct. The manager at the LV Nordstrom store in Seattle, WA are rude, unprofessional. If you have a problem with a purchase and need to return their merchandise for an exchange or request a credit back to your Nordstrom account, they will use any excuse to refuse your return, such as, the merchandise was damaged when mailed back to us. Also, there are numerous online complaints from other customers about their horrible experiences at this Louis Vuitton Nordstrom store in Seattle, Washington.

    I purchased a LV Monogram Neonoe handbag on October 26, 2018, by phone from Louis Vuitton Nordstrom. Within a week, I decided the handbag was too big and wanted to exchange for a smaller LV handbag. I called the LV store and spoke with a sales person and explained I would like to return the handbag and was then told to make sure the return is within thirty days, which I did. I had to call several times to request a shipping label. While at the post office, I called the LV store to request a printed label with a tracking number and was told by a rude sales person they do not email print labels with tracking numbers. I then proceeded with the shipping without a tracking number.

    On December 3rd, I received a call from a salesperson at the LV Nordstrom store in Seattle, WA that was very rude and stated he was refusing my return. I ask why, he stated the handbag was not resalable and stated it had a scratch at the bottom. I stated "no way" and that I returned the handbag in new condition with no damages and no scratch at the bottom as he claimed. I also stated to the salesperson how is it possible for a handbag that cost $1,500 be that easy to damage or scratched. I also stated it had to be damaged in the handling of your stock room. He then ask what do I want to do with the handbag. I stated I would like an exchange for a smaller LV handbag or a return credit in the amount of $1,500 back to my Nordstrom account. He stated very rudely "that's not going to happen." I then hung up because I was upset.

    On December 4th, I forward an email to Nordstrom Manager Adrienne ** at the Seattle WA store. She later responded by email "it's up to the discretion of the manager at the LV store to exchange or credit my Nordstrom account. I emailed back and stated my account is with Nordstrom, not Louis Vuitton and I emailed you in hopes that you would resolved this problem. I then sent an email and complained to the Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom Corporate offices about my return of the LV handbag and that it was in new condition when I returned it with no damages and had no scratch at the bottom as the salesperson claimed.

    The Nordstrom Corporate Manager Debbi ** called on December 19, 2018 and stated she was sorry and will not be able to credit my account for the return of the handbag because it has to be with the Louis Vuitton store manager and their policy differ from Nordstrom. I stated, my monthly bill is with Nordstrom, not Louis Vuitton which is leasing inside your store to gain Nordstrom customers and is advertised online on your Nordstrom website. I expressed how disappointed I was and stated, "You still expect me to sign for and accept back the return handbag by UPS that the salesperson claims has a scratch and continue with monthly payments on a $1,500 handbag."

    "Before I hung up," I stated, "I will file another complaint, seek legal advice and there's no way a customer should be treated like that and expect to pay for a handbag they claim is scratched." As of today, December 20, 2018 the handbag has not been returned and I have not had the pleasure of enjoying the expensive handbag I purchased. I truly hope this compliant finds its way to the owners of all Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom stores in regards to my horrible experiences I've had in returning the handbag to the Louis Vuitton Nordstrom in Seattle Washington.

    I purchased a Louis Vuitton Black Epi Neverfull bag this year which was my one big splurge. I loved everything about this bag until I noticed several scratches on the leather after the first time I used the bag. When I took it back to the store, the associate took pictures and sent to the team in California to review. Several weeks went by and I was told the abrasions were considered normal wear and tear. After one use! LV offered up no solutions and basically I am stuck using a bag that easily gets scratched. If you love the look of LV Epi bags... Buyer beware. Buy it knowing that it will have a million little abrasions. Highly Disappointed!

    I just got home from NYC and I was pretty upset with flagship store of LV in 5th Ave. and 57th street. I’m so excited to get my 2nd LV product and after much deliberation about which one to get between Cluny BB or MM, I decided to get the Cluny BB. When it’s time to pay I was surprised that the SA is bringing the display for me! I said “you’re not giving me a display!” I will not pay a full price for a display! She said that it was just put in the display the day before! Like I believe it! She should have told me that that’s the only one left before I wasted my time and her time! I went to Bloomingdales and the SA explained to me that they only keep one or 2 of the same kind of bag so usually it doesn’t stay for a long time in the display.

    I told him it’s not right because a lot of people touched the bags already! I’m not sure if this is only customary in the US because if I remember it right, when my friend bought her LV in Italy, the SA wears white cotton gloves and they gave her a brand new one from the backroom. I also noticed in LV store here in NYC that their bags was just stored in a drawer without any protection! I don’t understand how they carelessly store the bags like that and they expect us the consumer, to pay a lot of money for it and to think they tell you how to take care of it and even provide a dust bag but they never practice what they preach!

    Reading from the complains here, I’m not surprised why such problem occurs! My first LV purchase (Macy’s) was nothing like it! They gave me a brand new bag! I wonder if it’s only certain store and people they do that? I mean if they think that you desperately wants a bag they will offer you a display instead of offering you a new one! I know LV doesn’t go on sale but please give us our money’s worth! We worked hard for it! Not buying anything from LV anymore!

    Louis Vuitton products are very expensive, but I experienced the cheapest customer service. They are only nice for the sales, but not nice when a customer needs help for the problems. My Victorine wallet in pink patent leather had a stain issue which wasn’t created by me. It had been used only a couple months, then set on my closet shelf for another couple months. I noticed darkish little dots were created on the back of the wallet. I believe the leather wasn’t finished in a proper way. I visited the Louis Vuitton store in Westfarms mall, and asked to send to the company for an inspection. The manager and another sales associate didn’t want to do anything at first, and keep saying that I did something to make those stains. I kept asking to do something, then they took pictures to send the company. They said they will contact me when they hear back from the company, which will take about 48 hours.

    However, They never contacted me. I sent an email to the Louis Vuitton company, their response wasn’t good either. They said I should try a different Louise Vuitton retail store. They cannot help anything directly. I was shocked how poorly Louis Vuitton treats their customers. Of course, I would never buy their products again, also I want people to know not having a bad experience like me. Usually, the customer cares from the other luxury stores are very professional, that’s why we trust and purchase for such a high price.

    I’m beyond upset with Louis Vuitton. My husband and I visited the KOP location September 1 2018. We purchased a Surene MM. Absolutely beautiful purse. This was a extremely special gift that my husband bought me and shortly after our purchase I’m devastated about the outcome. After a couple days using the purse I realized this purse was not good for me. There is a area of the strap where the two pieces of leather meet the chain and actually pull at my hair and rip it out of my scalp. I called LV client services and they stated it was no problem and I could exchange the purse for another style. At this point I had my purse for less than 2 weeks. I then drove 45 minutes to King of Prussia LV and they refused the exchange.

    They stated due to the fact of using the purse it was unexchangeable. I showed the Manager my hair that was still attached to the purse and explained that it was painful every time I had to try to get my hair out of the purse. The manager said that she was sorry that’s happening but she will not do anything for me. I used the purse for three days and it was in the same condition that I bought it. At this point I was in such disbelief that someone could actually think it was ok for that to happen that I called Client Services while I was in the store. They suddenly have no record of my call but instead they have a call on the same day about a purchase over the phone for another bag! What!? Client Services stated that the store had the decision to accept my exchange.

    This store has refused to do a exchange on a very expensive purse that is pulling my hair out of my scalp. This is not fair! It has now been a complete nightmare since dealing with this company! I was working with a rep at Client Services that said the store will try to do a repair. I sent the bag to LV in KOP and they were suppose to call once they received it. Of course they didn’t. Instead, they shipped it back to me after having it for 5 days! A gentleman from the KOP location left me a voicemail stating they were unable to refund my money. A refund is not what I wanted. They were suppose to do a repair! I’ve called Client Services over a dozen times asking to speak to this supervisor who will not call me back.

    I’ve spoke to several people who say they want to help but have no results! I spend numerous hours of wasted time running in circles with these people. I spent a lot of money for a purse to use not to sit in a closet. All I wanted was a repair or exchange for different bag. Is this too much? Extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and Customer care. The level of customer service is completely different when you’re purchasing to when you need help with a bag that possibly has a bad design for you. I’ve never given a bad review online!

    Updated review: Sept. 6, 2018

    Based on my BBB status, I show complaint was sent to Louis Vuitton on yesterday. Not sure if my formal complaint or other online reviews made a difference, but I received a call from Louis Vuitton today explaining there was a miscommunication between client services and the department responsible for receiving returns. I was told everything has been cleared up and another overnight label was being sent to me. I was told the rep working my case was checking the status and then became aware of the mixup. I will initiate another return and trust the issue will be resolved. Finally.

    Original Review: Sept. 3, 2018

    On 11 July, I spoke over the phone with an LV customer service rep on two requests: To confirm availability of a specific Neverfull bag for purchase. To inquire about replacement for my Speedy that has significant cracking. This was my second conversation to discuss both. As I am a resident of Pike Road, AL, the Saks location in Birmingham, AL is my closest LV store. My original conversation also discussed Neverfull availability and Speedy cracking with hopes to resolve in store. During the 11 July conversation I was made aware that the Neverfull I desired was not in stock at the Birmingham location but could be shipped to a location in NYC to coincide with my family vacation.

    During the 11 July conversation I also stayed on the phone with the customer service rep who diligently searched store inventories to locate one that also contained adequate number of Speedy models to match my current; As due to cracking experienced, my bag would be replaced in store. This is the second confirmation I received of replacement. The initial rep also indicated since bag was less than 5 years old, it would be replaced. Due to numerous forums and blog posts I’ve read regarding cracking and issues, I asked if there would be any issues completing in store. During the 11 July conversation I was assured there would be no issue and there would be no problems with replacement. Upon notification of arrival at the NYC store (Saks 611 Fifth Avenue, 1st Floor), I arrived to complete both transactions: 1. Retrieve ordered bag 2. Replace Speedy.

    I’m very disappointed at the overall service experience after my family and I (after traveling all day from Alabama) spent our first evening traveling to the store from a Queens hotel and waiting to be helped. I personally counted 4-5 reps with at times 3 standing at the counter. After waiting to receive my bag, I then proceeded to discuss the replacement. After explaining, the reps pulled and prodded my bag with facial expressions that did not demonstrate the customer service I would expect from LV. After continuous conversation with reps and the store manager about the cracking and “protocol” (which was not shared during either conversation with phone customer service), I was then asked about storage and climate. The manager indicated they were not familiar with any cracking of the Speedy bag.

    After another customer mentioned his experience with cracking as well, I was pulled to the side by the manager and told she owns many monogram canvas bags and none have cracked. I could go on but believe I’ve done enough to express my displeasure with the customer service received. Overall, this entire experience and interaction were very disappointing. I shared with my brother in law who is a VP for Coach. He shared what proper customer service protocol should have been and also expressed his disappointment. More importantly, he pointed out proper service for two major concerns I described. Bag examination should have been done in a discreet manner and not one that made me as the customer feel uncomfortable and ashamed as if my bag was being examined in front of other customers to determine authenticity.

    I was never asked for profile info or the sales information. Secondly, the manager showed the complete opposite of empathy by explaining her bags never experienced cracking. She explained protocol again but this is completely contrary to what was shared initially over the phone. Traveling with a family of 5 is already difficult with luggage space. With proper protocol information before leaving home, I could have preserved luggage space for my traveling family which includes 3 small children. After back and forth with terrible customer service at a store, I sent in pictures of my Speedy and received a voucher for return after customer relations indicated a defect and indicated they would honor replacement.

    After waiting on Status and phoning customer service with no return, they sent my handbag back to the WRONG ADDRESS. A shame a $20 handbag outlasts these. Disappointing. After being a committed customer with 4 purchases, I WILL NOT be patronizing LV. Do not waste your money on a subpar product with horrible customer service backing. $1000 spent and LV didn’t even have the decency to reach out to me as a customer. Simply sent the bag back.

    In May 2018 I purchased this shoe for my Birthday, paid $842.00 at LV online. Wore the shoes occasionally... A month later I began to notice the sole on the heel part extremely worn down... Mind you I have less expensive shoes that I wear more regular and had for years that has not presented this problem. I called customer service to explain my concern. The representative took my name and number and told me a manager would call me back. This never happened. I called back a month later. Sent pictures, went over the same story again... Rep said he would call me back. That never happened.

    I am furious at this point and called back a third time requesting a Manager. She apologized profusely, I sent the pics again to her, repeated my story again, she took information and told me she will call her quality department and get back to me. She returned my call within 10 minutes to say that there is nothing that they can do for me because it is normal wear and tear... What??? The cheapest no name shoe I have ever bought in my life has never had the sole wore down within a month. I am talking all the way down!!! This is not what I expect for $842.00.

    Over the past 6 years I have had my bag exchanged 3 times at the LV store in Towson Mall... They exchanged it each time for acknowledged defects. Something is not right with the quality of LV products being sold in the USA. I even asked them if their products were real... For almost $2000... I should not have to take my bag back 3 different times within a 6 year period for manufacturer defects! They need to be investigated! I question the legitimacy of their products. I am sure I am not the only one with these issues.

    I think the reason for such a low rating is because most people who have a bad experience leave reviews more often whereas people with good experiences don't. The reason for my review is that my most recent purchase, I had incorrectly put in my billing address so I contacted LV through chat and the associate helping me was so sweet. Her name was Charmaine and she answered every single one of my questions timely and efficiently. When I told her the issue, she asked if it would be okay if she called me. I said yes and she called me right away and kindly fixed the order for me and even provided complimentary overnight shipping on MY mistake after I mentioned I had a trip coming up.

It cannot be repaired and the leather binding can be repaired for 240 dollars. I spend a lot of money on a purse, hardly used it, canvas fell apart and it’s wear and tear. Bad product pictures attached. Bad customer service too, very quick to smile when they are taking your money and quick to treat you bad when products go south.

    I'm so upset! I spent a lot of money on my white LV bag and haven't used it a lot because I was afraid that it might get dirty. Every time I used it, I always cleaned and put it in the included bag that they gave me. Recently I took out the bag and found out that it turns yellow and sticky. I brought it to the store and later found out that it's not consider a quality issue because the bag is about 13 years old! I paid thousand dollars for a bag that cannot last more than 10 year!? Big disappointment for a LV product. I paid 300 for a Coach bag that lasts me for more than 10 years and still in good condition. NO MORE LV PRODUCTS!!!

    To start off, this review is my honest horrible experience with AMANDA and the entire staff at Louis Vuitton Garden City, Roosevelt Field Macy's location. LIZ also added to my unpleasant experience. After owning my Pochette Metis for a short 2 months, with gentle use mostly on weekends, the wax on the edge of the shoulder strap started to peel off. I was shocked and upset since I'm gentle with my items, especially high end "luxury" ones. I went in to LV and explained to AMANDA the issue and she said it's no problems & that this style bag has been having these problems and she will put in a complimentary replacement strap order free of charge. I asked for a confirmation receipt or paper, and she guaranteed I did not need one, just my name/last name. I asked one last time and she said not to worry. I took her word for it.

    She mentioned 6-8 weeks, and honestly, I wasn't in such a rush that I did not call or bug anyone, thinking I would get an update eventually. (That was Nov 2017) Months pass & having not heard from them, I stopped by confident that they just forgot to call me since it was already March 2018. I asked the first available associate and she said she can't locate any order in the system with my name. As she way saying this, I saw AMANDA walk out. When I explained to her, she also looked like a deer in headlights. She could not explain to me why the order "she placed" was not coming up. Now that I think about it, I wish I didn't stay so calm and act so kind. Others would have caused a scene. I calmly waited for her to place me another complimentary order. This time I demanded a receipt. No sorry, nothing.

    Weeks later I decided to call and see what the update was... and this is when everything hit the fan. I looked at the receipt she gave me and it showed $210.00 charge that was NEVER mentioned to me. I wanted to speak with her to clear this up since it was complimentary. I have screenshots (proof) that I tried to get in contact with AMANDA 24 times. Every time I called the store, different employees told me AMANDA will call me right back, I called from morning to evening, spoke to a minimum of 5 different people (one name I can remember is George). HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU GET 24 CALLS TO A STORE AND CAN'T CALL BACK??? I ended up in disbelief calling a customer service line that got in contact with (a manager?) named ROSA who guaranteed AMANDA would call me. N E V E R H A P P E N E D. Weeks went by and some other employee called to say my strap is finally ready.

    I went in, and had the displeasure of meeting LIZ. She brings the strap and tells me my total is $210.00 (HAHA) I told her I'm not paying a penny and tried to quickly explain my situation... instead of her saying, "Sorry for your experience"... ANYTHING they teach people working sales, ESPECIALLY high end luxury companies. If someone is paying $$$$ for handbags, we expect and deserve to have a pleasant experience and top of the line customer service, especially with simple requests such as these. In the end, I hope people like AMANDA and the rest of the staff gets contacted from someone higher up and is given a lesson in basic customer service and general common sense. I would expect this type of service from cheap stores "fast fashion" but not LV.

    On 4/14/2018 I went to the LV store in Sarasota, FL that just opened because my purse strap started to rip. Mind you the purse was purchased in January 2018 so only 3 month old, walked in everyone was nice. I showed the gentleman my problem. He said well I have to take pictures and send it to someone who can look at it and decide if they will fix it or I will have to pay for it. LOL I was like ummm look I just purchased this purse and I'm not paying to get this fixed. So either the 17th or 18th I called LV and spoke to someone who told me the same thing that I would probably have to pay for it then connected me to the store in Sarasota. Fine whatever, spoke to the same gentleman. He said he hasn't heard anything when he does he will call me.

    We are going on 2 weeks my strap is broken off now and still no answer. (I stopped using the 2 small handle straps and have to use the one that attaches to the outer part of the purse.) Called LV again on 4/23/18 explained everything, he said he would have to connect me to the store. I said I already tried to call the store and I got you. So he tried connecting me to the store 2 times without any success. Today 4/24/18 I emailed client services, the lady emailed me back saying she was sorry but rest assured that when they hear from the repair center they will get back to me. It was my choice to purchase the purse I know but stand behind your work. I run a business and if I told my customers that I was sorry but "we will get back to you," pretty sure I wouldn't have any left. I feel as if I am getting the runaround and am extremely disappointed in the quality of this purse.

    I took my Limited Edition 2009 Kalahari PM (the Madonna bag) in because the handle has beads and one bead had broken off & the center part of the buckle (the long clasp, that fits through the hole on a belt) had come off and was lost but I still had the remaining buckle parts. I took it into the Lenox Mall LV store. The repair specialist asked where it was purchased, I told him it was a gift, he inspected the issues and told me he would return shortly. He took the bag to the back, stayed about 15 min, came back and said he couldn’t find the store sku # for the bag because it was a limited edition showpiece from 2009 and it's no longer carried in stores or made. He took all my info and told me he’ll send off to repair shop in California, and within 2 weeks I’ll have an idea of cost price if any, and assessed time for repairs.

    I received an email this a.m. from LV store saying my purse is ready for pickup, and it couldn’t be repaired because it’s “non- authentic.“ Are they crazy! If the bag was not authentic why would it even be able to be sent off for repairs? The well trained SA would have spotted it as non authentic when I initially brought it in for repair. All of the markings, serial numbers, date codes, hardware, materials, are authentic LV so what are they talking about? Has anyone else had such issues??? I will update as to what happens when I go to pick up. But I definitely need feedback and suggestions as what to do. If you know this bag you will see it’s not something easily replicated because of the odd materials.

    I purchased a Neverfull in San Antonio Texas where the clerk did not wear gloves when handling a purse. I was not sure if out of the two which one I would want since this was a major purchase I had been saving up for. The clerk that helped me was very nice and told me if I decided to exchange I could within 30 days of my purchase at a store nearest to me. I was there for a conference and had to fly back to my home. I was able to put my LV box in my suitcase and knew it would be best not to leave the purse in the check back. So I took the purse out the box and put on my carry on bag on the plane, what most woman would do after spending 1400 dollars. Within a week of me debating on the purse I decided that I wanted the initial Neverfull. Since the nearest store was 4 hours away, I had to arrange a trip to the store.

    It was the second week of owning the purse. I had bought a liner to put in the purse to try out what I carry in my purse at home. So yes the purse was not as it was originally packaged. I took the 4 hour drive for the Charlotte NC. The store clerk took the purse to the back room and came out and pointed to a piece of lint on the inside of the purse and said it was used and not resalable. I was in disbelief of spending that kind of money and being talked to in that way. I called the customer service outside of the store and told her what just happened, she asked me to send her pictures which I did and spent two hours waiting to hear back from her to say what the clerk said they have to go with, even though the customer service representative Micah agreed she could not see anything wrong with the purse in the pictures.

    As I have stated to everyone, if I would have walked in that store looking like a million dollars that clerk would have bent over backwards to accommodate me. My daughter in law and myself were judged the moment we walked in. I took the purse to other purse stores and the clerks said there was nothing wrong with the purse and they would exchange it. So MK and Kate Spade kudos to you for not thinking you are better than everyone else and I support your brands 100%. If you are a working class person don't waste your money or time going to the Charlotte NC store. You are not worthy of their purses. They walk around with gloves like they are handling artwork. If the purse is used why are the handles still falling in and the bottom still forms to the fold. This will be the only money this company will get from me.

    This was my email to the manager at LV Scottsdale. They responded again saying that they would not warranty it. Clearly the face of Europe has changed a lot and “made in France” or “made in Italy” just doesn’t hold the same water anymore. These are not the same artisans that were mentored by generations of skilled workers...

    "I’m emailing you to follow up on the conversation we had earlier today in-store regarding the belt I brought in for return. Initially someone at the store deemed the visible damage on the belt to be “wear and tear”. As discussed and later shown on my second visit when I brought in the second identical belt, one that had been bought prior to the damaged one in question, there appears to be significant variations in quality. The first belt I purchased I am quite happy with, however it is clear by the wear on the buckle itself, the newest belt purchased actually has been worn far less, yet the leather face and holes have not held up to the standard of the first. Additionally I would add, the belt has not held up to the expectations any LV consumer would have with respect to the quality of a top 3 luxury brand.

    "I think it’s fair to imply that myself, as well as any of your clientele, would be highly frustrated by the fact that you have sales staff in place that speak to the construction and quality of the products, yet do not have the ability or perhaps the discretion to discern differences in quality on two identical products. One being well made and the other being defective with a limited time span for wear. A belt is worn on such a unique part to anyone’s body, making a case for the item being defective when both items are present is simple, as they are clearly not of the same kin when put side by side and worn the same way, on average, day to day.

    "This is the latest frustration I have with the brand although there have been several in the past. First I had a Taiga leather wallet purchased to match my luggage, it had been stitched improperly. Inner card pockets detached from the outer shell of the wallet as the needle and thread only hit 50% of the area, the balance of the pocket the needle did touch barely linked to anything substantial it could bite into. Basically an $800 wallet fell apart and the misconstruction was there for all to see, yet again, LV deemed it wear and tear. I threw it away and don’t feel comfortable purchasing another to match my luggage as there is no responsibility taken from LV should this happen again!

    "I purchased two identical LV canvas tubular style bracelets, both detached at the clasp. $200 each, so not the hill to die on, yet frustrating. So my question is this, what exactly should I expect from the brand and why does it seem to be the mandate of the customer service or warranty reps to dismiss their client's claims? I find dealing with the brand circuitous when doing anything other than swiping a credit card. I’ve spent a lot of money at the store and I can assure you that my various girlfriends over the years have swiped my cards there a lot too. I need some direction as to how you plan of rectifying the issue at hand as well as why I should stay loyal to the brand. Having to write and email about a defective belt seems a bit much, however I’m tired of my issues being dismissed.

    "James, I appreciate your time and I would also appreciate if this email was sent to whomever is reviewing the photos you submitted. I’d like to know who this individual is, or who the department contact is should this issue not be resolved quickly in my favor. You’ve stated that this would be addressed next week at some point. Please contact me back here via email when you have anything to report back. Please restore my faith in the brand."

    So, I have been buying many LV products online the last couple of years because my income has changed. The last two items I bought, however, did not meet my expectations. The first was the Neo Eye-Trunk for iPhone X. The product list price was $1250 but the product itself was poorly designed. The clasp that was designed to keep the phone on the case, yes, on the case, not inside, kept loosening up. My phone fell out many times. Also, the gold pieces on the edges of the phone scratched easily. I had to return it. It was within 14 days. I got my money back into my PayPal account two days after they received the phone back.

    I then bought the mini Palm Springs backpack. The price was 2K. The bag was poorly made in that the zipper would get stuck in the middle of opening it if the bag was not full. Also, the color of the bag was mustard and it was just ugly in real life vs. in the picture. It was very dull looking bag. Anyhow, I did not like it. I hung on to it close to 30 days to see if I would change my mind and I didn't. I just could not get myself to love it. I called LV on the 29th day and sent it out on the 31st day. My return was within 30 days. I got my money in my PP account the day after they received the bag back. I feel that LV products are subpar compare to Gucci. However, LV is more popular for some reason. I still like LV. I like them even more that they were able to refund my money in full x 2. I truly was not happy with those two items. I am happy with the other products I bought in the past.

Unfortunately the “customer service” is there for appearances and not for any help at all. Absolutely disgusted with the way I was spoken to on the phone when I called to check the status on my repair. The agent was rude and used verbatim out of context and then proceeded to give me a lesson on English vocabulary since I seemed to be intimidated by the words she was using.

    At the end I still have no idea where my purse is, she could NOT disclose this information and the actual store is way too busy for anyone to look. While at the store everyone pretends to be so helpful and polite and once you spend your money it’s too bad you made the mistake of giving it to the wrong company.

    I have been purchasing LVs since 2005/2006. I believe one of those years. I recall my first purchase was a Denim Pleaty purchased in Dallas Fort Worth. Loved the bag and was excited to finally have one! As the years passed I seemed to be getting an LV about 2 per year. Again never an issue. (Also love the fact that they put your name in their system to show all your purchases no matter what LV store it was purchased at, you can also walk in to an LV store and with proper identification request an entire print out of all purchases since your first to your last.) LOVE THAT! I also appreciate the fact that if requested in the store (since I like my bags crease free, they will take it to the back and stuff it with a clear air pillow) and place it in a larger box and bow as opposed to the flat boxes.

    I must say the ONLY time I had an issue was with the glazing on the handles of the Damier Ebene, within a few weeks it was coming apart, I contacted the SA at the store. He told me to bring it in. (Which I reside 140 miles away, but regardless I did.) I asked to speak with the manager and he then took photos of the handles. He stated that he didn't believe there was anything that could be done about since I probably did something to the bag. Of course after YEARS AND YEARS of purchases why would I do anything to my bag???

    So I told him I was going to contact corporate. (Daniel was his name at Corporate.) We emailed back and forth in reference to the incident and the issue with the handles. He did contact me back via phone as well as email and told me he apologized and they would take care of the bag (which in fact they did) I like many of their bags and these bags do not depreciate, hence the reason why I do baby my bags. Not sure why I didn't have any terrible issues but I do hope you all get yours rectified.

    We have purchased over $30,000 worth of handbags from Louis Vuitton. Most of the handbags are used on rare occasion. Recently I took out a white model that had only been used 1 time. The front pocket was visibly discolored. After checking on the internet I found that this is a known defect due to adhesive that was used to attached the liner in the pocket. I contacted the store and brought the handbag in. The store people took pictures of the bag and 3 days later quickly denied this is a manufacture defect. I pointed to all of the similar claims on the internet and the representative immediately denied that this is a pervasive problem and claimed no responsibility. Clearly this company and product are not up to the price they charge and should be avoided in favor of companies that stand by their quality.

    I purchased a handbag yesterday at a store in Massachusetts and thought the in-store experience was wonderful, but my calls to client services prior were astronomically terrible. I had to call FOUR times to receive answers to simple questions and instead of getting the answers I needed, I had to piece together store policy based on each conversation. One woman even lied to me… Here’s a breakdown of what I was told on each call. 1) “You cannot order over the phone but you can call the store to make sure they have the bag in stock… they seem to have a bunch of your bag in stock.”

    2) “Who told you could call the store?” and “You can only make a phone order if you have shopped with us before.” I pass the phone to my mother who has shopped at LV. “Ma’am, your last purchase was in 2014.” She never said that the person had to have shopped within the year. I am sorry we did not meet your “clientele” because we have been shopping so much at Gucci and forgot. 3) “We cannot look at inventory at stores due to Valentine’s Day coming up.” Me: “The rep I spoke to 10 minutes ago did so.” Her: “All of a sudden my computer just crashed! Let me take down your number.” Obviously, no callback. 4) Nice male rep: “Of course I can look at the inventory! That store has 2 in stock and the other store has 4.” Fourth call was a charm.

    So why did it take 4 calls to get a simple answer of whether I could order over the phone and where I could find inventory for a product? Plausible answers are that you are not properly training sales reps OR want to make it incredibly hard for people to make purchase. I almost purchased a Gucci bag out of spite. Please do better.

    Jan. 11 I ordered the Neverfull MM in Monogram with Cherry interior by mistake (had two items in cart and deleted the wrong item). As soon as it arrived I contacted Client Services and they informed so I was able to do the exchange my local LV store in Saint Louis. Upon arrival, I found the correct bag- Neverfull Damier Ebene MM in Rose Ballerine. There were a total of four bags left in their inventory. I went through each bag and they were damaged! Pen marks, heavy glitter, dirt, and heavy use. I found one that by first look seemed good. Did the exchange and SA insisted on Hot Stamp. I agreed. She boxed it up after stamping and I was on my way.

    When opening the box, the handles were damaged (heavy wrinkling only seen in bags over 2 years old) and hot stamp was crooked! I ended up speaking with Julian in Client Services Escalation and he informed me the store will exchange due to the damage. The store refused to work with me after numerous trips and manager stating, "The handles are dyed and wrinkling is caused right away. The hot stamp isn't crooked." Thought I was losing my mind and posted the damage on LV forums. People agreed, it was BAD for a bag that wasn't used and purchased just 24 hours prior.

    Needless to say, I fought with the store many times in attempt to get it worked out and Julian (shining star!!) tried to get a resolution. Even the Escalation Dept acknowledged the damage was too severe. Eventually, Corporate got involved and forced the store to do either a return or exchange. I ended up exchanging for the GM Azur in Rose Ballerine. While I could have demanded compensation for the two weeks wasted and $82.98 in gas wasted, I will just cut my ties with LV and move to Gucci. Why 3 stars? Julian and Jason from Springfield Client Services. These two made it possible to get the situation resolved! Would I go back to Frontenac (Saint Louis)? Never again in this lifetime!

    I took a LV bag to the LV store in Tucson, AZ at the LaEncantada Mall. I wanted it refurbished, new strap, inside re-done, piping, etc. I had this bag re-done in the same manner when I left it with the NYC LV store on 5th Avenue in 2008. They did an excellent job, refurbishing with the same color leather, etc. NOT SO, at the Tucson LV store!! They charged an exuberant amount, but I really liked the little bag so decided to go with the repair cost. OMG!! I got it back and it looked like a KNOCK OFF!!! They put the yellowish color leather on it and this lame clasp with a magnet and every time you bumped it; it would come open. I complained and complained and was told, 'oh that is the leather we use on all bags, blah, blah, and that it would change color over time!! I told them I would die of old age before the leather changed color.

    I pointed out to them several bags on their website which had the darker, tan-ish color leather on them and they said no that was not the case. Well, I am not sure who is color blind!! I am pretty sure it is not me!! My bag had the tan-ish color handle, etc. when I purchased it and when the NYC store restored it. I sent it back to have the lame clasp replaced. I was told they had NOT replaced the clasp when they re-did the bag but they would replace it as a courtesy!!! NOT ONLY ARE THEY COLOR BLIND, THEY ARE BLIND AS WELL!!! I used that bag solely since 2008!! The closure was all scratched of course from trying to put the clasp in the circular hole to close the bag over time. And, it went deep into the circular closure and snapped.

    When the bag came back to me, the clasp was all SHINY and had a blue piece of saran wrap over it. And they insulted my intelligence by trying to tell me that clasp was on my bag when they received it!!! It cost me 19.50 to send it FedEx back to them to replace the clasp. I asked they credit my card for that amount and of course no response to my many requests. It is so pathetic looking, I used a pair of large scissors, cut it in half and threw it in the dumpster with my trash. I would never own a LV bag again!!!

Spoke to their customer service (very un-intelligent, unprofessional, disgraceful staff that shouldn't even work at McDonald's), who after much effort was able to mumble that there no mistakes on their website and therefore they must have sent me wrong item. Returned the item asked for exchange assuming it was wrong item. Spoke again to their customer service (different person, same thing probably no high school diploma) and they tried to explain that somehow "ummmm maybe you supposed to like wrap the tape measure around the bag". Hung up disgusted, sent an e-mail to customer service noting I'll hold them responsible for false advertising.

    Following my e-mail, I got a call from a Hillary ** from customer service, allegedly to do things over the phone and not in writing, I wonder why... She much apologized for the misleading info on their web, after which stated that the bag it's supposed to be measured from bottom, then the air in between, that up to the end of the handles... To which I said, "Ok so do you see anything wrong with that, like if I add a 30 ft rope to my 20 ft boat should I advertise and sell my boat as a 50 ft one?" She thought that was very funny. Anyway, I told her I don't want any replacement bags, I want my money back. She said fine, she'd take care of that.

    Two (2) days after the above conversation, I get an e-mail stating, "Hey, your replacement bag is on your way to you..." again after we agreed that there would be no replacement but my money back. Called my credit card yesterday and disputed the charge, as apparently cannot get anything ever accomplished.

He said things that made us feel uncomfortable and made Louis Vuitton company look very cheap. I mean we, consumers, change our mind all the time, especially during the holiday season, and the company and/or its associate has no business to tell consumers to "make sure next time you spent enough time to find what you really like so you don't have come back and return." This speaks lowly of a big company like Louis Vuitton. I'm very disappointed at its customer service and will not return to this store. It can't compare to any other stores out there. What a shame!

    I am a UK citizen and my wife and I were taking a holiday in the South of France, back in October 2017. My wife purchased a man's jacket (circa EUR 3,000) from the Louis Vuitton store in Cannes. At the time we asked the Sales Assistant and she confirmed each time that we were at Liberty to refund the jacket within 30 days of purchase. To cut a long story short, it is now 27th December 2017 and we have yet to receive our refund. Initially, we had to take the Jacket to their Flagship store in Central London, where the jacket was despatched internally back to the Cannes Store. I have been in touch many times each week with their UK Client Services who have been extremely polite, and they have made the right noises. However they have still been unsuccessful in arranging a simple IBAN Funds Transfer.

    Be extra cautious with this company as Terms and Conditions vary between different countries. The UK standards are not the same as the standards in France. This could well be the same for the US too. It appears to me that they are stalling with this payment more than ten weeks later!! My wife and I are most distressed by this tardy behaviour and wanted to publicise this experience to others to shame them.

    Tried to buy my wife an overpriced bag for Christmas, depending on the minute depends of I can add it to my cart or not. Then I talk to someone on the hotline and they tell me it is not available and I can't but it buy it from a store over the phone either because I haven't bought a bag in store in the last 12 months. They find a store that might sell it to me, and they never call me. So I call again and I get hung up on.

    Then I have to tell my wife I can't manage to get the bag, but then she logs into her LV account and viola, she can order the bag, that I was just told it's not available. Not only is it overpriced they are completely rude when you call them. I can see no reason it is worth what you pay beside society had put a highly inflated price on these status symbols. This is what is wrong with this country corporations want to take your money for little in return. Thanks for wrecking my surprise for my wife and putting me through a day of stress trying to find this overpriced piece of cowhide. I still have a hard time justifying what makes these bags so valuable besides status. Exactly what I expected from the world's most valuable luxury brand.

    After looking everywhere for months and watching online I finally found one favorite pm available and bought it. I waited and waited and no email confirmation, called them back and they said they had none available. She said she didn’t know why they processed purchase because there are none available so she cancelled the transaction.

    I kept checking the stores and online and finally one online became available, it was sent to me and completely defective, it’s almost like Louis is making their own cheap knock offs of their own brand. The tag on the inside was square not oblong like the pic on the LV website and the clasp on the front was off centered all the way to the side. I took it to the local store and they said it was embarrassing. They offered to send it back for an exchange and informed me that I could not be put on the waitlist for next available because it’s the holidays. It’s obvious that Louis Vuitton does not inspect their bags before shipping, this was so obvious. Their customer service and products seem to be decreasing, it’s sad because I’ve always loved their stuff, this is my 4th bag but 6th Louis product I’ve bought but this is my last.

    My husband ordered a Pochette Mini for me at the end of October, the associate at the 1-800 number said we would have it in a week. A week goes by we call back. They said oh they don't have anymore. I said, "How could that be? They had 9 in Las Vegas last week when we called". So I called again. Someone promised to call me back and didn't. So I called back and asked to speak with a manager. None available so a young lady put me through to the Plano, Texas store and what do you know they had both, the Mini Pochette and the Pochette Metis. So she sent me both which was very nice.

    Then I called back to see if they had any of the regular Pochettes and I spoke to 2 men who really didnt give a rip about customer service and who not so delicately explained to me that during the holiday season certain customers will get preferential over me. They had 21 Pochettes but he would not call and get one for me because they have the right to hold them for "good customers." I couldn't believe he had the nerve to actually say it. Yes I realize the SAs hold things back for their "good clients" but to have them actually say it. Then I ask who I can write to. He actually laughed like it wouldn't make a difference. They are hiring young twits that really do not care about the customer. I will never walk in another Louis Vuitton again or order from them again due to very nasty treatment.

    They don't even offer UPS pick up service! I need to correct for THEIR MISTAKE, by taking the bag to a local UPS center??! If they shipped me one size up they must be worried to death!

    I purchased a Sully MM bag in April of 2014 ($1800). The buckles started fading within months (less than a year). I called the LV store in Nashville and was told that it was normal wear and tear. Then ten months in, I notice tearing on the corners of the bottom of the purse... Sent pictures at first then decided to return it to the store before the "year warranty" was up. I was told they do not replace anything with tears on the canvas and that it was normal wear and tear. I explained that I don't carry the bag everyday to have this type of normal wear and tear. The salesperson was like, "Oh well..." A friend told me to try another store in which I did, (New Orleans) but after jumping hoops I am still stuck with an expensive bag that I am embarrassed to carry. Dooney and Bourke is a FAR better purse. Quality is amazing and they stand by their more affordable products.

    LV can kick rocks...and bricks. And funny when I see other people with this style, they have the same issue and was told the same thing. You would think there would be a recall, better help offered to resolving the issues or even a class action lawsuit. I am so disappointed even after years has passed. I even asked if leather patches could be sewn on to fix the problem and was told no.

    I live nowhere near a LV store. I have called them to attempt to order a Neverfull, and boy was I surprised how rude the woman was. I'm discussing dropping 2 grand on a handbag and she just was rude and condescending. I gave up and called a second time- they are not helpful, they will not problem solve, they just act like you are bothering them. I am shocked that so many people had similar experiences. I will not be buying a LV bag ever after reading all of this. My cousin had a LV bag from the store- brand new, and when I was inspecting it, the trim color on the leather, looked like my daughter painted it. I would have sworn it was a fake. It is evidently common knowledge that LV customer service is the worst. I swear, I will be buying a replica if I ever see a LV bag I love.

    Wow, speechless at the negative reviews, remember LV is a luxury brand. As such, once you have placed ALL your credit cards in a wallet and decide it is just too big for you and try to return, yes it is considered used. If you were the next buyer, would you buy that item that you tried to return? Hell no! And just like any other items, if you spill anything in the bag, chances are you will not get the stain or smell out. So why would you expect that LV can fix that for you? I have to say that I do have 10 LVs, I take care of all my bags and love them. I use a liner or organizer inside, I keep my spillables in makeup cases, etc. If I damage the bag, I did it so tough ** for me. But I would not insist that LV fix it. Customer service has been excellent each time. I think you reap what you sow, if you are rude to them, why would you expect them to be nice to you (even though you may think they should)?

    I received my Iena MM with a rift on the sides of the box. I was a little disappointed because I was hoping to get a perfect package. I then open the box and was not satisfied with the indentation of the bag. I called Louis Vuitton right away and demanded an exchange. They emailed me an authorization # for the exchange. On the next day however, I decided I will just return the item because I worry that they might send another one with indentation creases. I called Louis Vuitton client services and the guy that answered the call told me that he doesn't have the authorization to issue a return label. He then added that I have to wait 2 days to call back and wait for a full refund authorization instead. I trusted the guy, but after 2 days I called again asking as to why I have to wait to get a return label for a full refund. He then put me on hold and he (Eryn) told me that he changed it to a refund instead of an exchange and it should be all good.

    I ship the item back with the return authorization #. I was able to tracked that they received the package on September 1st. I called back today September 14 asking if they have any update on the refund. The guy who answered the phone treated me like a dirt and won't help with my concern. I never use the bag. I hope and pray that they won't pull any type of scam suggesting that the purse was used. Their customer service doesn't represent a high-end product as this people doesn't even care.

Before I made the long trip to an LV store I searched online and found this thread which made me concerned about returning the bag. I emailed the SA in Hong Kong and had a reply that cracks cannot be fixed, however, as part of the international policy I can bring in to a local LV store in my country (Philippines). They examined the bag and initially was asked to wait for 8 weeks for repair. The SA showed the bag to the repair expert and on the spot offered to replace the bag. I opted to upgrade to a Montaigne and had the cles stamped. They provided me drinks while I was busy looking through other options. Overall, the experience was pleasant and not at all intimidating.

    Don't know where to start. So I've been looking for this limited bag that they made so much of and won't be making it again, so I called client services to see if any stores still had it. So she told me yes, there was 2 in stock. The only thing was I would have to fly to that island to get it. Sorry I live in Hawaii so there's several islands here. So I called to check if I could do a phone order. So this time I was talking to another person. So he asked did you purchase something with us in the past 6-12 months and I said "no my last purchase was in 2015." So he said "no we can't do a phone order". I was like "What." This is my 6 purse I'm purchasing and I can't do phone order because I didn't buy anything within the last year. OMG. I find that so absurd and prejudice. Um really? Yes if you have a lot of money you can afford to buy from Louis all the time.

    I'm just an average working human being who saved up to buy this bag only to tell me the only way I could get it was to fly up there and buy it. No ifs ands or buts. Yes they have that attitude will like "Oh well too bad for you." So my question to them was "So if I happen to have bought it online they would have to ship it to me?" That's the same darn thing but they had no answer for me. Then they said I could purchase it over the phone but still needed to fly up there to pick it up. They just didn't make no sense to me at all. Bottom line I guess shipping was a problem for them. Don't get it. I just won't deal with them anymore. Invest in another brand.

    I've read many reviews and agree with many who have had a bad experience. I stopped buying LV's for about 5 years. Recently my sister asked her to help her purchase a purse and I called and nothing has changed. Customer service talk like they are indifferent and don't care if you buy the product. For a luxury brand among many, LV has the worst customer service. Sales people act that they can care less if you purchase the product. If issues or problems arise with a purchase they automatically assume it's the customer fault without really listening to the customer. I have taken my money somewhere and will continue to do so. Good luck LV and I hope you stay in business. I want people to realize that you have options and why buy anything from a company that does not put their clients first.

    I honestly don't know where to start with this review. As someone who does a lot of online shopping I thought the customer service I would receive from Louis Vuitton would be far superior than any other store I've ever shopped at but Boy was I in for a surprise. While I was in New York in May 2017 I was determined to buy a pochette Metis. But with so many Louis Vuitton stores in such a big city I thought it would be wise to call beforehand and have someone check their stock. I am glad I did because both bags I wanted were nowhere in New York so I asked if it was possible to order one over the phone. The girl I spoke with found a Marine rouge pochette metis for me and a week or so later it was delivered to my door. I still couldn't shrug the other purse I had wanted (the pochette metis in monogram) so I kept checking online to see if it would come back in stock. And lucky for me it did a week or so after getting my other one.

    After getting the 2nd pochette metis I was really torn on what to do. I liked them both but wasn't sure if I needed to have 2 of the same bag, after some contemplating I decided to keep the 2nd one (monogram print), I did love the marine rouge but the leather was a bit duller than I was expecting and it didn't match as many of my things. Long story short I followed the instructions written to initiate a return. I received via email a UPS label. Packaged my box and sent it back. Louis Vuitton received my bag June 22, 2017 and per their policy can take up to 14 business to process the return which frankly is a long time but whatever. After the 14 days was up I still didn't see the refund reflected on my credit card so I called client services to see what the hold up was. Was told they would look into it and call me back.

    The next day came and I still hadn't heard back so I called again and was given the exact same answer. At this point I was starting to get PO'd. It had been close to a month since I mailed off my return and was paying interest on a $3,000 purchase and no one was giving me answers or returning my calls. My 3rd attempt at contacting Louis Vuitton was via email. And finally the next day I had someone call me but of course missed their call so had to call back, explain what was going on and finally be connected with someone who wasn't from client services. She told me it appeared that the person who initiated the return used the order # from the other less expensive bag I had ordered. And they were trying to get this sorted out. I was told my bag should be refunded within a couple days. 9 more days went by and still no refund.

    At this point I am feeling beyond upset and frustrated. Not understanding why this is taking so long and why no one is doing anything to help me. I kept calling, emailing etc and I felt like at this point people were purposely avoiding me. The girl that was suppose to sort this out for me 9 days before gave me her direct line but she too was not answering or returning my calls. I felt completely helpless at this point so contacted my credit card company to see what they could do and filed a complaint with BBB. Still waiting to see what happens but we are now August 9 2017 and my bag was returned and received at Louis Vuitton June 22, 2017 and I am still out $3,000.

    Painful returns and bad customer service seem to be a reoccurring theme at Louis Vuitton. So incredibly pissed and frustrated. Michael Burke CEO and Chairman of Louis Vuitton should be ashamed. Also incredibly disappointed as I had my eye on many other Louis Vuitton goodies I wanted to purchase but with this most recent experience there is no way I will ever buy or step foot in a Louis Vuitton store again. I am so disgusted by this experience I am thinking of selling all my Louis Vuitton things so I wash my hands of them for life.

    Saint-Germain PM Bag - With being a Florida State University student, when I saw the colors of this purse (a garnet and gold color) I fell in love. With the added rose braided detail, it completes the fun, modern look. The workers at the store I visited in The Mall at Millenia were very helpful and the process of getting the purse was simple and quick. I have had this purse for a month now, and I don't have any true complaints so far.

    It was definitely expensive for the price, but the quality and feel of it almost makes up for it. There are enough pockets and compartments inside for any necessities I might need too, which is convenient. I also really like the secure lock closing system; some of my previous purses have had those as well but never worked to this extent. The sliding chain also really helps change up the look to for me; making it versatile for several of my outfits. I've gotten several compliments on the purse so far and I've been quite happy with my purchase, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's willing to splurge for a really cute, good quality purse!

    On the 7 January 2017 I was in Rome Italy and purchased two iPhone 7+ covers from the Louis Vuitton outlet in Piazza San Lorenzo. After just five months the rubber around the edge of one of the covers started to come off. In the beginning of July '17 I wrote to their customer service section asking if I could send them photos so they may assess the defect and I was informed that this was not possible and that I had to take the cover to one of their outlets. Whilst this is understandable I wrote back to them informing them that this was not possible because I live in Malta and there are no Louis Vuitton outlets on the island and it was not possible or my intention to travel anywhere outside Malta in the near future.

    I asked if there could be any alternative arrangement made, such as sending over the cover for their assessment. Up until till yesterday I had received no reply despite my various reminders. Disappointingly the reply I received was again that I had to take the cover personally to a Louis Vuitton outlet! Meaning that they completely ignored my telling them that there are NO Louis Vuitton outlets in Malta!!! In the evening I gave it one last shot by sending them an message on their Facebook page, this morning I received the same identical reply.

    For the life of me I cannot understand how such a brand can have such a disastrous after sales service, apart from the fact that the quality of the product leaves much to be desired!

I called Customer Service and sent them photos of what the bag looks like. I was told that I was responsible for the damage and that I must have rubbed the bag up against an abrasive surface. When asked what they consider an abrasive surface she had no idea.

    I then replied that if they consider your body and I then replied that if they consider your body an abrasive surface, that their bags are poorly made or cheap because they should be able to endure being worn on your shoulder as that is their purpose. Continue to assure me that it had to be my fault and that there was nothing wrong with their bag. This of course was to remove blame from themselves and put it on me. It seems like their customer service is more concerned with protecting their bottom line than making customers happy and turning them into repeat customers. I have never had a bag wear like this bag did and I'm comparing that to bags that I've had for 5+ years. This was truly a disappointing experience.

I then called Louis Vuitton to explain what happened and they offered me the option of having my bag placed at a UPS pick up location, and that I would be notified within 24 hours of the pickup location. I received no such notice. Instead, an UPS delivery man showed up at my door with the package, however I was not home, and on the phone he said he would leave he package for me at a nearby location. To my surprise, when I came home, there was a slip but no pickup location was indicated.

    When I called Louis Vuitton, they didn't know where the package was either, and an extremely rude representative insisted I was interrupting him when I was only trying to explain the UPS won't attempt a third delivery because they already dropped off my bag at an unknown location, and refused to help me. He said that my previous call to Louis Vuitton was never documented and blamed me for telling the UPS delivery guy to drop off my bag at a pickup location. He then proceeded to hang up on me mid call. I have never in my life experienced such unprofessional customer service. It has completely soured my excitement in purchasing my first Louis Vuitton bag.

    I purchased a sunglass case from Louis Vuitton in March of this year with the purpose of using it for the summer. Two months later, the case starts peeling. For a high end product, this was very unexpected so I brought it to Edina Galleria where there is a Louis Vuitton store to have it looked at. They decided that the sunglass case needs reglazing and they will have to take it for 6 weeks! The main reason that I got this case is so I have somewhere to keep my sunglasses especially during the summer months and surrendering it to them for six weeks defeats the purpose of the purchase. They keep repeating to me that the service will be free, like I should kneel and thank the heavens that they are willing to do me this favor.

    The sunglass case was never abused, barely used. It just sits in my bag keeping my sunglasses safe from scratches. For the price, it should not fall apart within two months of purchase. I have a better luck getting replacements from Amazon for products that do not perform as expected even after three months of purchase. The way that the SA would talk to me that they are doing this for free and they don't care if I decide to stop buying their products is very condescending. I have loved Louis Vuitton products for the history of the brand but the way the SAs behave as if you are the one groveling at them just to get ahold of their product is very annoying, and that is putting it mildly.

    I have many Louis Vuitton pieces but at this point, that sunglass case is definitely the last purchase that I will make from the brand. They don't stand behind their products. If you're one of the unfortunate ones where your item falls apart after purchase, apparently you will just have to suck it up, since this brand thinks that they are doing you a favor by selling their items to you. It's just the height of condescension and I am not motivated to support a brand that don't value their customers.

    I used to love the brand so much and tried to buy an item in my every trip (since there's no official dealer in Iran) bad I had few bad experiences which disappointed me made switch to other brands. First it was in Dubai in Emirates Mall. They closed the door and said you have to wait in the line because of lack of staff but they were so rude. Then when finally let us in I bought a pair of shoe. They said they don't have box. They put in a shopping bag and close with a tape. When I opened the bag the shoes were without a dust bag. I returned to store asked for the dust bag they said we don't have them. I complained that it’s a necessary item for product care and you had to tell me before selling it. They respond very badly and in an angry tone and the funny thing was that the guy was manager of the store.

    I went to Dubai Mall explained the condition. They apologize and gave me the dust bag. But it was such a bad feeling to be treated like that. Like they are doing you a favor to sell you something. And about two weeks ago I was in Barcelona. I went to one of branches. There was not enough staff to help you and the funny thing is when they are busy with another client the won’t even look at you and if you asked them something they answer you very badly. Seriously they treat you like they are higher than you or something. Or you are taking their time. Only one of the staff was good. You are paying a lot of money but don't get customer service and value.

    I went to Burberry after that. They were amazing they offered me drinks. They showed me everything. They guided me for right choice. I really felt pampered there. The worse was in Champs-Elysees. We stood 45 min no one gave us service. No one didn't even look at us. As I said excuse me one of them snapped at me that I’m busy and you have to find someone for yourself to help you. I sent them an email then apologized and stuff like that but what different does it make when you don't see any change in the system. And their staff, I don't know what’s up to them. They really stick their nose up in the air every time I go there. I feel low and like they are doing me a favor. And as other said the quality of the bags are not the same anymore. Some part of my Neverfull MM are peeling off. Same happened to all my friend that have Neverfull.

    I tried calling in several times in attempts to order two products that are not available to purchase online. A message pops up instead of "add to cart" that reads "call for availability". You first call the number listed and they check to see what store it is in. Then you are transferred to the store's phone ordering system but they are not actually a part of the store. They arrange a phone call or leave a message for the store you are trying to contact. In my experience; I attempted to contact three stores, left 7 messages over two days, and did not receive a single phone call back.

    So I continue to call... After I finally get through to a store after an endless runaround knowing that they are one hour from closing. I am told my account, created online, is not enough to place an order by phone. I need to have at least one purchase within the last year. I knew this after speaking with the phone middleman system, so I ordered a product earlier I was also planning to order at the store that was available online. It split up the order and incurred additional shipping fees but when you're spending north of $2k per item, an extra $35 on shipping doesn't seem too bad. However; that apparently didn't qualify despite the information that the customer service representative had previously provided me.

    What I needed to do was go into a store and create an account in person and then make a purchase. But that's not it, I have to let it mature 3 months so that I can be eligible to pay for a product over the phone. But; if I let it expire (12 months) then I have to restart the process. Okay, okay... What if I use my wife's account. She has purchased something in the store recently. I'm only attempting to order this as a gift anyways so if it's on her account I don't mind. Well; her account doesn't qualify either because when she purchased in the store they didn't update her address. So that doesn't work either.

    So; the advice of the customer service rep at the store recommended I go to a physical store and purchase something and then in 3 months try again. Or I might be lucky enough to have the customer service rep at the physical store place the order for me at the store, although that might not work because it's not their usual policy. Yikes. Good job Louis. Worst customer service and policies I've ever experienced.

    Over the years we have made plenty of purchases from Louis Vuitton. Stemming from my wife's purses, wallets, keychains, including my wallets, belts and regretfully my money clip. One of my purchases were made at Yorkdale's Louis Vuitton, it was a men's money clip. I purchased the clip for $395 plus tax a couple of years ago. Yes some may say it was a while ago, in my option, when you think you purchase a money clip at that cost, you would be purchasing a quality piece for more than two years.

    Last fall, I went to the store to see a sales associate, the money clip appeared to have a split in the stem. The sales person, looked at it and replied, "It's normal and how much money to you out in the clip?" My response was, "It's never forced opened and a money clip should hold money, correct?" I felt that I was being a bother at the time and wasn't given any recommendation of what I should do, so I left the store! A short while later the money clip split in half. At that point I was annoyed and went back to the store to speak to a manager, her name was Melissa. At that time she looked at the piece and quickly responded, "Sorry there's nothing we can do, it's a clip and this could happen."

    Sorry that wasn't a good enough answer for me! At that point I proceeded to say, "Are you not going to offer any solution to my problem?" She said, "Sorry there's nothing I can do". The manager saw that I was upset with her response and proceeded to take a photo and said she would send it to quality control. Two months went by and I heard nothing. I thought I would call to voice my option about the service and quality of the product I received. To make a long story short -- I had to call three times to finally speak to a customer service manager. This took approximately 3 weeks. Everytime I called, I was always promised a callback and never did.

    Finally I spoke to a manager by the name of Mike from the U.S, I explained the full detail of my experience with Louis Vuitton and their sales associates and products. At this point I wasn't so interested in the money clip -- I was more aggravated with how I was treated and the POOR customer service I received. When speaking to Mike I was put on hold for 25 minutes until he came back to say, "Sorry there's nothing we can do!" For me, it was the end of the road. Through my conversation with Mike, I expressed my disappointment, frustration and time I spend trying to get a solution to a problem I had with their product. I suggested that it would of been ideal to provide even a slight discount toward my next purchase, just to keep me satisfied as a client of Louis Vuitton. His answer to me was, "Sorry sir, Louis Vuitton doesn't discount their products, we stand behind the quality and service of the brand."

    Well in my opinion -- you need to do a check because the last experience with this company was horrible! I'm guessing they make enough money in sales they do not care about quality and client services. It is very disappointing to know in today's world where brick and mortar stores are closing due to online sales. You would think a large and profitable company would be more attentive to their customers and their needs. It was more disappointing to receive the poor customer service from Loius Vuitton personal. The experience left me bitter towards the company and their personnel. Hopefully this will maybe make a difference in how they approach their future customers, they definitely needs help with their client experience -- maybe a course or two!!!

    My husband purchased the KEEPALL BANDOULIÈRE bag for me and had the tag hot stamped with my initials. I went back to the store within two weeks (I don't live near the store) because the handles and bag had small spots of silver on it. They brought the bag in the back and brought it back to me 15 minutes later. I examined the bag and the spots were still there, they said they did the best they can do and I would have to talk to the manager. The manager didn't get back to me so I called the 800 number and she connected me to the manager. The manager told me that her employees said it was impossible to get the hot stamp silver on the purse and she could not replace the bag but they could send in the bag to change the handles with no charge to me. No charge to me, of course no charge, the bag was never used and I want a new one now or I want to return it.

    She said because I had the removable tag hot stamped even though the employee got it on the handles and purse, I couldn't return it. I was not happy with her answer so I called and wrote to LV and I was told it's up to the manager and there's nothing they can do. I went back to the store to show the manager how it was possible the hot stamp was on the handle and the purse. She told me it didn't matter anymore how or what was on the purse, she couldn't exchange it and for absolutely no charge to me, she would send the bag in to change out the handles (which would take a month or more). I explained to her 3 more times, it's not my problem and she came out with the same answer, "for no charge I will replace your handles!!!" I left the purse with her and I contacted American Express to remove the charge.

However with her assurances I felt that I had time to wait at least one month which is exactly what I did. Now the item that I wanted for over two years is gone forever and discontinued. I hope you can understand my deep level of disappointment, especially when I could've purchased the item only a month ago. She should not have given assurances if she had no way of knowing they would be upheld. Now I will never have the item that I wanted, I feel robbed by her incompetence.

    I am a big LV fan and so is my entire family. I have always enjoyed their handbags until one day, I got a defective bag! I assumed, given the price of $1700, that the customer service would be great. I was so wrong. I never knew how bad their return/exchange policy was until I started inquiring about my damaged handbag. I bought a Coach years ago (about $350 purse). It was wearing out so poorly that after 2 years, I walked into their store. They looked at it and offered to mail it in for $20 shipping cost. I got a callback a week later. They gave full refund (including the taxes). So, I am shocked that a luxury brand falls so short to other retailers. I just never knew. So, please keep in mind before you spend $1000s. If you find it's broken after 14 days, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN! My bag: Girolata Damier Azur Canvas. The straps randomly unbuckles, dumping all the purse contents.

    First and for most, I would first like to indicate that I've always purchased Louis Vuitton products and have always come to notice the immediate turn around in customer service when you buy a purse and return a purse. My recent experience was one that I will never forget and always remember before I ever purchase from this worthless and scamful brand, LV. I entered a Louis Vuitton store this past Mother's Day and purchased a brand that receives so much praise. Unfortunately my mother wasn't pleased with my decision making and asked me to exchange the purse for a different style.

    Nine days later I entered the same exact store and requested to exchange the purse to an employee I found on the floor. Her immediate action was to take the purse and get the purse examined for damages I assumed. Unfortunately, the lady came back with a fierce attitude and told me that the purse had damage because it had been worn and wasn't in pristine condition. I thought to myself for a second and said, "I just purchased a bag for $2700 US dollars and it's already tearing apart?" I instantly requested to speak to the manager and was told that there was nothing he can do for me. Headquarters also backs up their store managers instantly, regardless of the situation or circumstances. Thankfully I purchased my bag on my credit card and indicated to my credit card services that I was just scammed. Don't be the next scammed victim! Gucci and Goyard have very nice things.

    April 23 - ordered a Rosalie coin purse online. Order confirmed and shipped on April 25. Their website tracking link goes directly to a FedEx website, which shows the tracking number as invalid. I called Louis Vuitton customer service (1) and they advised they only ship with UPS. They advised that I check the tracking the next day to see progress. I keep tracking the package and last scan was April 26. Then no activities afterwards. By May 1st, still no activity on UPS website. I called UPS and they said they are not sure where the package is located and I have to call sender to open investigation. I called Louis Vuitton customer service (2) and reported the issue. They advised that they will open a file and investigate with UPS and it can take up to 14 days.

    I asked them if I should order a replacement as the color I wanted was "discontinued" (what I was told by a rep there in January of 2017, so I purchased a different colour and then found it available for purchase in April 2017???). I don't want to not be able to get this coin purse. The rep said it's up to me. So I place a second order. Order confirmed and delivered the following week. When I inspected it, I noticed the lighter colour stitching bled over to the canvas side so I called them (3) to let them know the issue with this product. They advised me that the product is discontinued and I will only be able to return it for a refund, they are not able to do an exchange for me. I was frustrated, so I wanted to think about it.

    The next week, 14 days after the original lost order file was opened, I did not hear from them, so I called the customer service (4) to follow up on the lost package. The rep advised that it takes up to 14 business days - it would have been nice to be informed about that when the rep opened the file for me. Then I asked about the stock and confirm that this product is discontinued. The rep advised that I am still able to do an exchange. She said they have stock in the system. Very frustrated at this point that I am given different information from different reps. She created an exchange order for me and sent me the label to return the product. I didn't trust anyone from that office by now so that night as I was browsing, I checked and the colour shows "sold out." I'm glad that I checked before sending the one I have back for an exchange.

    I wait till the 14 business day mark and called customer service (5) again since they did not get in contact with me. I spoke to a rep who advised me that the 14 business days there should be a result, but it can take another 2 - 3 days for someone to take action. I do not know why they don't tell people the right information. They claim that UPS has not sent them any paperwork, but on the UPS tracking, the last update was "claim issued." Not pleased I called UPS to see if I can get some info. They advised that they sent Louis Vuitton all the paperwork two days prior to my call and the claim is closed. I called Louis Vuitton (6) again and advised them what I've learned.

    I spoke to Cleveland this time and he wanted to brush me off initially and I told him that UPS has closed the file and resent all the paperwork they need to send them to close the claim. He put me on hold to verify with the department that handles claims and came back advising me that she spoke to the claims department and that they will issue the refund that day (May 18th). I asked if I will get a email notification. He said no. I asked if someone will call me. He said he will request for the claims department to call me once the refund is issued (by end of day). End of day, no call from them. May 19th morning, I called them (7) to follow up. Vanessa advised that it's the end of the 14 business day today and that someone will be in contact with me in the next few days with the result of the claim. I told her the story about the previous day's conversation/activity on this order and she said there are no notes and no refund showing for this order.

    No results to the claim! I was furious at this time and asked to speak to Cleveland. She asked me for his extension. I have no idea what his extension is. I told her that she should look in the directory for his extension. She advised that there are over 100 reps working at the office. This does not makes sense! No one is accountable! She put me on hold and tried to locate Cleveland. She came back and said she will send a note to Cleveland to call me and hung up on me. That is completely unacceptable customer service. I am very certain that Cleveland will not call me back and I will have to call them again this afternoon about this. It has been nearly three weeks since this package is lost and they are giving me the runaround instead of doing what's right - giving me the refund! I will contact my credit card company today if they are not able to resolve the issue for me. Completely incompetent customer service reps!

The purse is 5 years old, but my favorite! I called customer service to see if they could give me a ballpark figure on replacing the whole lining and I was told no, I would have to bring it in or mail it, they wouldn't quote me a price over the phone. I explained that the store was quite a drive away and if the lining is $1000 I probably would just get it repaired locally, not authentic, but if it was under $500 I would make the drive.

    Well, Katrina got extremely rude to me and it sounded like she was reading off a script and kept repeating herself and wouldn't let me get a word in. Then when I asked to speak with a manager or someone above her she told me I could put a request in and someone would get back to me within 72 hrs.

I brought it up to the closest store and showed them the wallet.

    At first he told me I couldn't return it because my initials were on it. I kept telling him its defective. Finally, he conferred with someone else who agreed it was defective and agreed to exchange it. Then he tried to tell me I owed more money because the taxes were less in Hawaii than in CA and I had to pay the difference! What?? I need to pay because you sold me a defective wallet? Haven't I already given up enough of my time to deal with this! I refused to pay the difference on principal and finally he told me he figured it out so I wouldn't have to!

    It is unfortunate that so many of you had a bad experience at LV. Customer service is a true driving factor for me that sometimes even the best product cannot overcome. I work hard for my money and won't spend it where that is not acknowledged and appreciated. This past Friday, I purchased a Sperone Damier backpack that I'd had my eye on for a few months. I did research and actually (briefly) considered purchasing a knock off. But I came to my senses and realized if you're going to get such a great piece, you should take the plunge and indulge yourself.

    I went to the LV store in The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and was immediately greeted by friendly Julia. While she went to get me some water, I was greeted by two other associates. When Julia returned, she was nothing but kind and friendly, and when she tried to sell me some additional items and I declined, she remained friendly and professional. The store was not exceptionally busy, but at no time did I observe anyone being rude or unprofessional in any way. Maybe those people were just rude, or they don't have a manager that demands quality customer service, but I had no issues with either my product or my store.

At checkout time, we were told the option for hot stamping, at that time, would take about 45 minutes so we decided to come back to get this done at a later time. We were told to come back anytime, and that it would only take 10 minutes to do. On 2/19 morning, we drove back to your store to get the hot stamping done. To our surprise, we were told we had to leave the bag and the person who could hot stamp was not working on weekends, and that I should call next time before I come.

    On 2/25 at noon, I called Santa Monica 3rd St Promenade Store, and spoke to someone who was very unprofessional, put me on hold right away before asking me what I needed which resulted her in putting me on hold 3 more times after that, a total conversation of 30 minutes. I specifically called to make sure someone was there today to do the hot stamping. She then proceeded to tell me I would have to leave my bag in the store for about 3 days, yet again I'm being told something different. Then she put me on hold again to check on the hot stamp specialist and was told the person would be there Friday 2/25 until 7 PM. I was asked what time I would come and I responded between 6:30-7:00 PM. I had to leave work early, arrived at Louis Vuitton at 6:15 PM this evening, all this to be told the hot stamp person was only there in the morning that day and they had nobody who could do it.

    This is absolutely ridiculous customer service. Now I think back about my experience when I first walked in, where this guy barely greeted us, showed us the 3 bags I requested to see and walked away and never came back to check up on us. The reps who work at that location (with the exception of Erika) make it very uncomfortable to go to this specific store. Do yourself a favor and go to another store. Or better yet, purchase your bag in Europe where it is much cheaper (at least right now). I ended up returning the bag on my third attempt at getting the hot stamping done, as it was my third time in the store and you could not assist me for the third time in 10 days.

    I received a beautiful, dark brown Mahina Hobo handbag as a gift from a friend a few months ago. The bag is gorgeous, in excellent condition; however, after a few wears and (when I'm not wearing it the bag is stored in my closet in a duster bag) the handles on the bag started to change color as if the leather was breaking down. Another girlfriend of mine indicated that she had a similar issue with her Bottega and Louis Vuitton handbags she had received as a gift and both stores exchanged the bag for her without issue. With that in mind, I went to the Louis Vuitton store at the Town Center in Boca Raton to see if my issue could be resolved. I was greeted by a gentleman. I explained my issue and showed him the bag. He stated that damage occurred because the bag was exposed to humidity, which was not the case with my bag since I had only wore it several times and had stored it in the duster bag when I wasn't wearing it.

    I asked him how they would be able to resolve my issue. He indicated that I would need the purchaser's information or receipt in order to replace the bag. I told him that I don't know where the purchased was purchased since it was given to me as a gift several months ago. He indicated without that information they would be unable to assist me and suggested that I could pay to have the handles replaced. I then explained to him about my girlfriend who had the same issue several months ago (with two bags one Louis Vuitton and one Bottega) and that both stores had exchanged the bags without that information and asked why had the policy changed with my same issue. I have another Louis Vuitton bag at home and a wallet, and the reason myself, as well as other Louis Vuitton customers, spend money on this brand is supposed to be because of its "excellent" quality.

    Now when I have an issue I'm being asked to pay to repair damage to the bag that had nothing to do with or the natural wear and tear of the bag. The gentleman then walked to back because he didn't even know the name of the handbag (which is disappointing because as an employee he should be familiar with all of the merchandise). When he returned he changed his statement further stating that even with the purchase information they would only be able to replace the handles; although he had initially stated that they would replace the bag. Furthermore, when I provided him the name of the bag, he had the nerve to tell me that I was wrong, when I know exactly what bag I had because I had been wanting this particular bag for a while before my girlfriend gave it to me.

    After leaving the store I contacted the customer service to file a complaint about the inconsistency in store policy and to complain about the employee's lack of knowledge of the merchandise and they were also; unfortunately, extremely unhelpful and even more difficult. The customer service representative that took my complaint asked me again for the original purchaser's name which I obviously didn't have since it was given to me as a gift and since I had no way of knowing where she got the bag from and I thought that it would be rude to ask, I told her that I could provide her my girlfriend's name but I don't know where she purchased the bag and asked again why I was being asked all of this information when my girlfriend did not have to go through this interrogation.

    She further stated that after speaking with the store manager the same option that the associate had given me and further indicated that once they received "the purchaser's information" the bag would have to be sent to have a quality check performed (God knows how long that would take) or that I could simply get the handles replaced since it was in excellent condition. I again asked her why I was being asked all of these questions, and why was I being treated differently than my friend had been with the exact same issue. I am also disgusted at the employees suggestion that the bag had been exposed to humidity, when I know that was not the case since I had rarely worn the bag and had taken extra care to make sure that it remained in excellent condition.

    I am extremely disappointed at the quality of customer service I received from both the store, the customer service line, and the store manager; the inconsistencies in store policy from person to person, and the refusal of the store to appropriately resolve my issue with the bag's degradation. The bag is supposed to be an investment. I did my part by taking proper care of the bag and am appalled at the lack of care that the Louis Vuitton staff had when I came to them with my issue. I will NEVER be purchasing another Louis Vuitton bag and will definitely tell all of my friends and family about this disappointing experience and highly recommend that they spend their money on other designer labels.

    I Recently walked into a Louis Vuitton in Bloomingdale's on the corner of 59th and 3rd. I was coming in for some solutions for a had bag that I purchased my wife 3 months ago that dye had spilled on that morning. Not only did I not get any solutions the manager was speaking down to me in a condescending manner. We invest so much money in this product of luxury and it is amazing how nothing can be done for you. I was told "sorry but we cannot do anything for this bag" and when I asked for a solution I was told "buy another bag and throw that one out". The manager said we cannot fix or replace this bag, it's too expensive to take apart and reattach a new component. I'm like what??

    Whether it's expensive or not is for the customer to decided. There should be a in warranty service and a out of warranty service for bags especially on new bag that are still being sold. not only am I disgusted with the service I don't think I will be referring any friends and family to this company. I will miss your products but it's not worth the disappointment or heartache.

Complained about that and she still kept talking over me and when I pointed this out she then decided when I was able to speak. Because of her poor attitude I will not be buying from LV again.

Most of the LV bags you should not allow it to have direct contact with your underarm deodorant while carrying it on your shoulder. Make certain to have on short or long sleeves. NOT sleeveless... This causes rips on the top of the bag from your deodorant. Hope this is helpful.

    Today Louis Vuitton is no longer a brand for elites and select. Of course demand is one of the best thing a brand can desire but satisfying this demand at what cost?

I have made a canvas brief purchased and tried to return back due to a defect but naturally I was informed (after three days) that all sales are final. Well I was expected to be nervous but instead I have exchanged it to a high-end Epi brief (Made in France). Not all items are made under excellent supervision of head atelier and that can not practically possible.

    I purchased a 6 ring key holder from LV back in August 2015. In March 2016, I noticed that the piping on this item was peeling off where there is a compartment right behind the key rings. I took it at the LV store on Fifth Ave in NY and a SA contacted her manager which was extremely nice about it and gave me a brand new one free of charge. The only down side (which is why I don't give it 5 stars) was the fact that she told the reason the piping was coming off was because I stored my driver's license in that compartment. She told me don't put anything in there. What's the point of that card slot then if it's best to not store anything in it?

    On another occasion, I purchased an Alma BB in Damier Ebene as well as the Josephine Wallet. I was not happy with the items when I got home and decided I would go exchange them when I had the chance. I went to the LV store at the Westchester Mall in White Plains, NY after 10 days to exchange those items for something else. The SA that helped me inspected all items in front of me and had no issue whatsoever helping me with the exchange! I exchanged them for an Eva Clutch and a compact zippy wallet and was also given a refund for the rest of the money since these last items purchased were less expensive than the other two originally purchased.

    On February 3, 2016 I purchased the above handbag at the Louis Vuitton Store in the Aventura Mall, in Aventura Florida. On July 21, 2016, I brought the bag back into the store, as the canvas had a hole in it, and the red lining was showing through the canvas. At the perimeter of the rim, there also appeared a darker brown rim. The hole was on the direct line of where straps were provided to make the bag narrower for a different look. When I returned the bag, the staff in the store, were very negative and nasty and told me that it looked like I burned the bag. The only helpful was their repair specialist. He felt bad for my experience and said that he would try to get the hole repaired. In regard to the rest of the staff I was appalled by their lack of concern and customer care. I also want to note that I have several of their bags and the canvas is thicker on all of them and is more sturdy.

    In addition, I am not a smoker and I am never near smokers or fire of any kind. The store sent it to California to be repaired as the inside of the bag was also coming apart. They did fix that, but could not, or would not repair the hole or replace the bag. Their customer service could care less about satisfying their clients who spend a fortune of money for a thin canvas bag. Granted, I bought the bag, so that was my mistake. However when you pay $1,260 plus tax for a bag, one would certainly expect more responsible action on the part of the Louis Vuitton employees to back up a damaged produce. Knowing the lack of quality, endurance, and lack of customer support, in retrospect, I should have bought a copy for one-half the price. I feel duped, and taken advantage of and would very much like others to know "Buyer Beware".

    I was burned very early on in my Louis Vuitton boutique shopping experience — as a brand-new customer with a lust for the iconic speedy 25. My ordeal happened years ago, but it might as well have happened yesterday because the memory is still that vivid. In reading the complaints here, I see nothing has changed. However, I do count myself lucky because each time I found a defect with the bag I had purchased, the boutique took it back without accusing me of using it (which I had not). I guess it could have been a lot worse: they could have accused me of causing the issues that forced me to return/exchange my purchase.

    I exchanged four speedy 25 bags, in all, because there were defects in the leather. I worked in a leather goods repair and sales shop in college and so I examined everything very carefully. But after inspecting the bags in the store only to find issues upon returning home, I'm fairly certain I was getting something else entirely pulled from inventory in the back and boxed up. The ordeal of repeatedly going to/from the boutique, which wasn't exactly close to my home, continued for nearly two weeks until the manager stated that their products were not up to MY standards. Ha! Now that's priceless.

    I would caution any customer not to let the bag you wish to purchase out of your sight while shopping their boutique. I would also caution any customer who honestly did not use a bag and is rejected for return to just dispute it straight out with your credit card and file a Better Business Bureau complaint (it's important to do both). I would add, to those who say they would be happy to join a class action lawsuit that no "lawyer" is going to file a class action suit without plaintiffs.

    That means that someone here reading this will have to consult an attorney — and if you can afford these bags you should be able to afford legal representation, regardless. Depending on where you live, you may also have the option to take matters to small claims court or to file a complaint with your state consumer affairs bureau. In other words, don't merely post a complaint online. Sour grapes are not going to change anything because people don't visit sites like this until AFTER they have been jilted by a bad experience.

    There's a lot of mystic surrounding the Louis Vuitton brand. Louis Vuitton is no doubt an icon but, unfortunately, they've become indifferent to the demands of 21st Century customers and are still making their goods by hand like it's 1869. While "handmade" is generally a good thing, it's NOT going to guarantee that you will always get a product that is of superior quality. Louis Vuitton is nonetheless a mass produced luxury brand and therefore not all of their items will be perfectly stitched, resist all stains or cracks in the leather, nor can you expect the price tag to correspond to 30+ years of actual use. "Handmade" means that no two exactly alike and there will be outright flaws on a certain percentage of their products.

    This is the human element of making all things "handmade". Having said that, Louis Vuitton could, at minimum, respond more proactively to common customer complaints (assuming they've heard of a concept called "Best Practices"!). Could they treat their light-colored canvas bags with something to repel dye transfer from magazine covers, denim or the like? You bet. But that would require 21st Century chemistry! Could they line their handbag pockets with a material that can stand up to heat and humidity without disintegrating into a mess so disgusting even a two-year-old won't touch it? Absolutely! (Louis Vuitton, there ARE other types of materials you could use to line those pesky pockets. Your massive market in Japan, alone, deserves as much — do they not make you enough money to at least *consider* it?)

    Louis Vuitton canvas wallets are also known to fail in some very predictable ways. If you own one, take a closer look. If you don't own a Louis Vuitton wallet, go on eBay and look at the wallets sold by Japanese sellers (which are almost always authentic). Note, that they're not double stitched along the areas where the wallet will flex. Because they can't be bothered to use a few more inches of thread, Louis Vuitton wallets will eventually develop loose stitching and the edges will typically separate. (If you think this is "normal" for a wallet, you haven't been to Walmart lately to appreciate that any $15 Chinese no-name wallet will outlast a Louis Vuitton wallet. Yes, you read that right: outlast.)

    One look at the way Louis Vuitton products "hold up", as evidenced in the secondhand goods market, will inform even the most casual Louis Vuitton patron that their legendary quality is, in fact, fraught with design flaws. A home economics student could point out that it just *might* help to double stitch the wallets in the areas where they flex. But bear in mind: Louis Vuitton makes money, also, by convincing customers that only their authorized repair centers should ever touch their merchandise. And so, by all appearances, they have to build into their product lines a repeated series of flaws so as to ensure their repair facilities to actually have something TO repair.

    I will not go so far as to say "Don't buy LV". What I am saying is that customers who have burned in the way many described here have should no longer buy *new* LV. There are thousands of Louis Vuitton products on the secondhand market in just about any condition one wishes to find (or pay for). In this way, consumers can enjoy the look of LV without resorting to A) lining Louis Vuitton's "sticky pockets" at boutique cash-wraps, or B) resorting to replicas.

    Consumers should at appreciate, at minimum, that you don't buy a Louis Vuitton because it's "better than". It's simply not. The company is using materials and methods largely unchanged for 100 years. If their methods and/or materials are not in the 21st Century, neither will their production consistency. If Louis Vuitton can't be bothered to fix longstanding product problems like their faulty canvas wallets or delicate pocket linings, than neither should we, as consumers, be "bothered" to buy new Louis Vuitton merchandise (insofar as it suffers the same flaws as the old merchandise).

    Years ago, my first-ever Louis Vuitton buying purchase ended in sadness when I had to return not one but several identical bags, only to end up empty handed in the end. After joining the enthusiast website TPF, watching sales on an online website for a couple of years and doing a lot of homework on how to tell the genuine article from a fake, I took the plunge and bought a new speedy 25, unused, on the secondhand market. Unlike my boutique purchases, that speedy was everything I had hoped — as flawless as I had once expected ALL Louis Vuitton merchandise ought to be. If nothing more, my experience proves that you don't have to put up with snooty service, over-priced product pricing (relative to quality) and a questionable return policy to enjoy Louis Vuitton for the flawed, iconic brand that it is.

    I bought a Damier Azur Neverfull MM for Mother's Day and loved it until yesterday. I went into the store to purchase the same bag in the Damier Ebene, Ballerine Lining and asked to have it Hot Stamped like the one I have been carrying for almost 3 months and the SA informed me that the Hot Stamping was done on the wrong side of my bag. I was furious! I called the corporate # and the client services rep was a waste of time!!! She couldn't even understand English, nor get the story straight after telling her over and over again?? I asked for her boss and she said all she could do was send an email. They called my SA and she told me the Manager of the store would agree to hot stamping my bag on both sides so at least it would be done right on one of the sides and it would be "special" because LV never does that for anyone?! I want the bag replaced as they did it wrong!! Do NOT shop at the LV in Fashion Square in Scottsdale, Arizona!!!

    I purchase a Louis Vuitton Delightful GM from Birmingham Saks 3 years ago. As the 1st year of having the bag I contacted the store, showed how it was peeling, and looks like it would tear. I was advised they it happens often and just the material the bag is made from. I do not carry the bag anymore because it has now torn and continues to get similar tears and peeling around the top of the bag. I was very disappointed in the quality of a $1300 bag. I went to them again in December and again in June of this year with no success. I have purchased two Tory Burch bag and Dooney Bourke bag since the Louis Vuitton and they are all in much better shape. I didn't want my money back just a replacement bag.

    So I'm reading these negative reviews of what a crap product LV is and all I can say is that I cannot believe it at all! The crap product these people received has to be counterfeit products! Do not buy online unless from actual LV site or go into store! Anyway I cannot say enough praise of what a high quality product you will get from LV! My husband took me to the Louis Vuitton store at the Galleria in Dallas and we were greeted by staff and he showed me numerous bags and gave us champagne while we shopped! I chose the Berri MM and cannot say enough of how much I love it nor the excellent quality! Worth every penny as this bag will give me numerous years of use! What a fabulous experience!

    My son's purchased a wallet for me for my birthday several years ago. $500.00. At the same time, my husband purchased a large handbag for me. $800.00. I am vegan and don't wear leather. Unfortunately, my handbag sits up in my attic. It has the typical LV leather straps. I did use it for a while, but just don't feel right accessorizing with leather. My wallet I have been using. It literally is falling apart. It never snapped correctly, so it always opens up in my bag, and the stitching has been coming out, slowly, for years. I have vegan bags, and accessories that have held up much better!!! LV should be ashamed to be charging such astronomical prices for crap that falls apart. Maybe that's why I see more MK bags out there than ever before. Shame on you Louis Vuitton!!!
