My husband gave me the black Clemence for my birthday and I had the same issue with the zipper. Plus the print inside wasn’t super clear either. I believe it’s because of the pebble stone leather which I’m not fond of either. My daughter bought it at an LV store for him. I wanted the monogram canvas but they both said the black looks much classier and everyone has the monogram canvas. For $785 we should expect perfection, right?
Yes, we should! I think they changed the zipper itself. My older one is still so smooth, as compared to this. I later on returned this Clemence and got another piece from the boutique. It was smoother but not as smooth. So will you be keeping the black Clemence since it's a b'day gift?
@@YasminTenebroso_yasminloves I read reviews on the monogram Clemence wallet and after 7 mos of use, one stated that the edges started peeling. I think I’ll stick with the black leather Clemence but need to exchange it bec there’s a minor strange residue of glue I think, around the edges. Why do they even sell items like this? I notice everything!
Hi Yasmin. I too just got the exact Clemence wallet (monogram canvas with rose ballerine) through online shopping. Made In France piece made in March 2020 and i have the exact same issues as you (faded prints and difficult zip - inside though). Doing an exchange now. Wondering if we got the same batch.
Hi Joanne, sorry to hear about your wallet too! I forgot to check the datecode but mine was made in Spain, and probably earlier in the year as I bought it in early Mar. Good that you got it exchanged. I exchanged it for a made in USA piece and it's perfect :)
I disagree about the comparison comment-- the fact that you're comparing means you know what it's SUPPOSED to feel like, and the one you got isn't it!! I would return it but i'm also really picky!
Yeah the difference in the canvas texture was sooo obvious, but I also told myself maybe it's cause it's new. I returned it eventually, and at the store when she showed me another piece, it looked so much better than this piece. So I'm happy I got to exchange it but uurgh the hassle! P.S.: I'm picky too when it comes to luxury items; I mean we pay so much for them, we'd expect better quality. Thanks for watching :)
Oh no 😣 the zipper would really bother me too 😭exchange it girl lol you know.. it really seems like LV’s older items have been better quality. It’s sad but true at least for what i have seen
It bothered me a lot. I took about a week to see if I could accept it but I couldn't. I managed to go to the boutique just before lockdown and thankfully they had another piece. Will do another video on it soon! BTW, I hope you are well there. Please keep safe and update your socmed often so I know you're doing well!
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Did you have the same issues as I did? The zipper and all? Keep on returning until you get a perfect piece. I know, their workmanship has been disappointing but somehow we still continue to buy :(
The replaced item that they gave me has an issue on the interior the card slots seems to have wave and its’s not really acceptable because both sides had the issue! I don’t like to have it anymore hopefully they will accept my side regarding the issue on the replaces model. I will just change to other items i think not the clemence anymore😌
Oh no!!! Yes definitely return it. The new one looks dull and that zipper 🙄nope not acceptable! Zippers should be smooth!!! Great video dear. Be safe out there💕
Thanks dear, I hope you're doing safe too. I did eventually return it. I'm not sure if it's different canvases from different years or the old one looks gleaming because I've been using it and holding it for some time. But I don't recall the canvas was dull when I got the 1st one like 5 years ago. And that zipper was even smoother than now. Thanks for watching!
Oh gosh, I didn't see the dent till you pointed it out! #eagleeyed I did return it eventually after contemplating over a week. The zipper was just stuck.
I think so too. I did read about the different canvas quality but this new one was way too cheap feeling. Update - I managed to exchange it for a better one and the canvas was lovely! :)
You’d think they would have standardised the monogram canvas so it’s looks the same across all items regardless of age of item SMH that was my biggest issue with it!
ikr? They always said it depends on the "batch" of the canvas. But IMO, if our wallets' canvases are dull, wouldn't you think their QC would have pulled them off the shelves?
That’s so strange but I had a lousy experience with the same wallet. I ordered it as a gift and I felt the zip was stiff but the canvas was so dull. I compared it to my old zippy and the difference in the monogram print brightness was ridiculously obvious. The Clemence was awful and looked like a cheap fake. I’ve put in for an exchange. I hope that one is better. I got the fuschia and the LV stamp looked awful. I was so disappointed ☹️
Exactly! It looked like a cheap fake, compared to my existing Clemence, which by the way is many years old. I hope you'll get a better piece, and they should not put that returned, defective piece back on the store shelves! Thankfully the new one I managed to exchange to is so much better! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@YasminTenebroso_yasminloves this gives me hope. I ordered it online and sent pictures to client services complaining with photos of the canvas compared to my monogram zippy. Let’s see. I think the quality is atrocious!
@@YasminTenebroso_yasminloves PS the canvas of the one I received looks exactly like yours!!! I was looking for info and thankfully I found your video and it confirmed that I wasn’t being too picky and in fact the quality was rubbish!
@@sheena9090 Yes the quality is bad. Even when I showed it to a friend, she said it looked so dull. And when I brought it into the LV store and showed the SA the issues, she just shrugged and took another piece for me, which was so much better!
@@sheena9090 I'm glad my video helped! And no, you are not being picky, and even if you were you had the right to be. They increased the price for this wallet so the quality should be better, if not on par.
Hello! I receivedmy emilie wallet today , and when i unboxed it ,it doesn't look like this. There was no ribbon just a simple box. I was gonna do and unboxing video coz it was my first purchased. I wonder if some people experience the same. 😔
Angelene RH hi there! Oh no so they didn't tie the ribbon? I think they are inconsistent with their packaging. Once when I bought my Neverfull from the boutique they didn't tie the ribbon too. And because it was my first purchase, I didn't realize I could have asked for the ribbon 😥 Anyway, the Emilie wallet is gorgeous, I have one too. Only thing was that the grazing started to peel after 1.5 years. But you should still do the unboxing! I'd love to watch it ☺️
@@YasminTenebroso_yasminloves thank you for your reply i will subscribe to your channel.... there was no ribbon just the box and the receipt...and i can't return it coz i did a hot stamp. i was to excited to open it and yes i love the wallet. When you firsg receive your emilie wallet was it stiff or soft? coz mine is soft and they look dull
Angelene RH aww thanks for subscribing! Good that you love your wallet. May I ask what canvas you got it in? Mine was the Damier Azur and it was soft and nice. But it wasn't a perfect wallet as the checkboard pattern was a bit lopsided. I got a friend to buy it from France so I wasn't able to return/exchange it. The glazing is really bad now, I was contemplating sending it for repair.
@@YasminTenebroso_yasminloves i get the damier ebene i love it, i have to love it coz its my first 😁 i dont want to have regrets buying it coz its not cheap its a hard earn money .
Looked as if the SA bought a counterfeit LV wallet from a website and put it in a real dust bag and box, and then shipped it to you! The quality of this wallet is unbelievably bad!!!!
Funny you should say that! But yeah, everything was just off about this wallet. And when I returned it, the SA didn't even apologise let alone acknowledge the defects. Thankful I could exchange it and got a good piece! Thanks for watching :)
Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈 darling. It is beautiful piece. I love it. I have 2 in my collection. Thank You so much for sharing darling and take care. Stay safe darling ❤️
Beautiful wallet. It is frustrating when it comes like this....has happened to me. I did get my piece exchanged. Thanks for sharing. New friend & hope for your return of love 💕
