Yes, on my black mc pochette a bit of the colour around the corners have faded/rubbed off. I guess it's due to all the friction and rubbing when I carry it under my arm, esp. in the summer with all that heat and sweat. But I've learned to live with it and not care anymore, you can't really see it anyway. The weird thing, though, is that my mc alma has absolutely no colour rubbing off, and I've owned it longer than the pochette (2.5 years)!
