I know this video is old but you have done the best job comparing these two! wow, thank you! And I agree about the bubble in the zipper fabric, I've ordered a few of these new models key pouches and they all have the bubble in the middle of the zipper fabric on the inside.
I've used Brasso in the past. If it's really tarnished, chipping, or if the gold color has even wore off, their is really nothing you can do, unless you get it repaired by LV. And of course they might charge you.
LV reps had me thinking I was nuts. One rep told me the gaps at the bottom are there on purpose so dust doesn’t get stuck on the bottom 🤷🏻♀️ That’s why sticking is visible. There quality is not the same.
hii!! I know I'm late but just came across this vid and I found super helpful! I am debating between the two styles monogram or damier ebene. which one would you say gives off more old money vibes? like timeless and classy
Very good comparison, and it is truth the key pouches are of very poor quality made in the USA, although louis vuitton CS say that the quality is the same regardless of which workshop and country they are made in. I don't know if so many people return them because we deserve a well-made product like the one shown in the sales photos on their website and I don't understand how not to fix that problem. And now with the covid-19, I imagine that they are not importing products from France or the other countries that have more experiences making these products.
Horrible quality for the money.. I have the old one and just bought the new one!! Shame on LV for selling such “cheap” quality at such high prices!! I’m taking it back.. just not worth it! I would like to see LV’s customer base flood them with emails asking what’s up with this shoddy merchandise.. you can get fakes that look like these.
I have both...one made in USA which has rounded bottom corners.... made in Spain has the Square cut which TO ME .... looks more uniform and classy. The newer one also seems to be slightly wider
Hi Evelyn, you should check out the Gucci supreme key case. I think it’s a great alternative to LV’s key pouch. I don’t own one yet but it’s on my wishlist. There are couple of reviews on RUclips. Hope that helps. 😊
Wow, great video. Very detailed, thank you. I do believe the new model Cles has a lot to do with locations of production as well as the individuals level of experience making them item.
Hello i Just Got My Hands On A BRAND NEW Old Version!! However The Zipper Doesn't Have A Mark For Authentication. Is it REAL?? Thanks everything else is identical It Just Doesn't Have That Mark on The Side On The Zipper . Thanks !!!
I have an original, I bought it when it was new, and I just bought one in azur. I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Some people have pointed out that there’s a gap in the seams of the new version if it was made in the US. I will see what happens when mine arrives. Nice video.
Hi Ash, I am glad you pointed out the quality issues on the new made in US key pouches. I do like the new model key pouches but they have to be MIF. They are flared at the bottom than rounded, puffier, and no stitching are exposed. I bought mine from the Facebook group at retail bc LV website only has the US ones. Great review 😊
Thanks! Yeah, after getting another key pouch, I've decided to just return them all. Just so many issues with craftsmanship. I can't buy things from LV unless I see them now.
Hey Ash, I bought my very first LV key pouches in damier ebene, Damier graphite, and monogram during oct - Dec 2019, and they're all made in France. The Damier graphite one has the best stitching, but the canvas is noticeably thinner than the other two. For the other two, I could see crooked stitchings around the edges like yours, and holes on canvas on the stitching around the edges. However, they all do not have holes that you could see through from inside the pouch. I guess MIF pieces doesn't guarantee great craftsmanship, and i believe that's the quality LV moving forward. that's also the reason why I decided to keep them because I know there might be worse ones! 😕 #firstworldproblems
Aww thanks for sharing Kelly. Yes, I've realized that about the quailty of these key pouches too, it's sad. But your right, there are worse ones out there. Mine not too bad, so I've been ok with it and I'm keeping mine.
I exchanged mine four times hoping that I might get a good one but they kept coming to me worse than the one before the zipper won't close right the stitching was cricket around the edges and you could see through the stitching on the bottom I wish so bad that I could have gotten the old model very disappointed with Louis Vuitton
Excellent review - very informative. I'm on the hunt for the original model in excellent/very good condition within a reasonable price. I tried the new model 3 times and all 3 of them looked very unprofessionally made 🙁.
Am returning my new one Damier print tomorrow. Dropping it off at ups am not happy with the zipper Inside having bumps. Zipper inside not flush. It was made USA. It’s my second return from online. I went to the store soon after getting and my SA had six in mono all made in USA and they were all horrible as well.

You are so welcome! Thanks for also acknowledging this issue with the zipper tape, it really is unfortunate.
I just received mines today in DE. I was excited to see that it was made in France but then saw the gaps between the stitching as well... 😒
Sorry to hear that your has gaps too. Did you return it?
Thé hook on mine has become tarnished and doesn’t open what would you recommend
I've used Brasso in the past. If it's really tarnished, chipping, or if the gold color has even wore off, their is really nothing you can do, unless you get it repaired by LV. And of course they might charge you.
What year was the key cles first made?
Not sure but mine is 2012.
did you end up keeping the new old? My SA got me a mono MIF one so waiting for it to come! She didn't mention any gaps so fingers crossed!
LV reps had me thinking I was nuts. One rep told me the gaps at the bottom are there on purpose so dust doesn’t get stuck on the bottom 🤷🏻♀️ That’s why sticking is visible. There quality is not the same.
What the? Never heard that lie before...haha. Thanks for sharing.

The LV Monogram Print.

Your absolutly correct Linda. I've had to return all my new key pouches, which were made in USA.
Ash XL Reviews I have also done so since it is unacceptable to pay the same amount for a poorly made product.

Yes, I perfer the Square shaped one too.
Awesome review, like always. Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️💗
Aww thanks!
Very informative! Thank you!!
Your welcome!
Thank you for the detailed review! Do you have any recommendation for good quality key pouch from other luxury brands?
Thanks Evelyn, I've never tried any other key pouchs from a luxury brand, but hopefully i'll branch out one day.

I think I agree with you too. It's so sad.
If it's not made in France, I don't want it.
Good luck.
@@ashxlreviews Well, I live in Europe. so all my items are made in france. Would never buy anything that's made in the U.S. like ew
@@jannis4608 Ok, that's awesome.

I'm not sure, I don't think that matters anymore. You should be ok. Congrats too!

Thanks. I just got another keypouch in MNG and I decided to just return all the new model keypouches. They quality is so disappointing.

I got one from the LV website this month and it's MIF. No stitching problem. I guess I got lucky.
I love the informative video!

If the bottom stitching shows the light coming through it’s because it’s made in the US and not Paris 🤷♀️
I noticed this too. I have a made in USA and made in France which I just got and the one from France has better craftsmanship.
Such a helpful video. TY🙏💕
Your welcome, gld you enjoyed it!
@@ashxlreviews 🤗💕
Great review 🙏🏽🌸
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
For me I like lv key cles old model more than new model. New model look ugly and flat and see gap between zipper 😔
Yes, I agree! I love the old model more too.
Mines is made in france and it still has see through seam problem.
Wow, thanks for sharing.
Mine as well! And the logo/flower pattern doesn't align symmetrically where the canvases meet.
The reason why the stitches are loose is Bc it’s made in USA and the tight stitches one are usually made in a France
That's what I want to believe too!
I have the key pouche Made in france new model and the stitches also are loose it looks the same. I think the Quality of the old model is better.
Excellent review - very informative. I'm on the hunt for the original model in excellent/very good condition within a reasonable price. I tried the new model 3 times and all 3 of them looked very unprofessionally made 🙁.
Yep...it's sad. Where were they made by the way? Did that matter?
@@ashxlreviews All 3 were made in the USA, which didn't matter at the time. But at this point, I think I would prefer a made in France piece.
Am returning my new one Damier print tomorrow. Dropping it off at ups am not happy with the zipper Inside having bumps. Zipper inside not flush. It was made USA. It’s my second return from online.
