Does anyone NOT like the Mini Pochette?

I like my mini pochette. I use it for extra cards I don't use that often and small things I don't want floating around in my bag like small cosmetics, ear buds, etc. and monthly it becomes a catch all for lady products. (TMI?) My only complaint is that it sometimes takes up too much space in my smaller bags due to the wider bottom. I've actually been thinking about getting a Chanel O-case to replace my mini pochette or cles. I use that for my key fob and main cards but I need something bigger so I don't have cards all over the place in different SLGs. I was going to buy a mini pochette for that but I think one is enough. If the o case had a small chain, it would be perfection!
I did, finally! I was using a free Clinique zip pouch that came with some bonus samples for a while, but eventually I contacted the owner of a lovely shop on Etsy, Lee Coren, and had her make a larger zip pouch, about 6x8 or 7x9 custom for me. Just like this one but larger:

I also had one made in the gorgeous blue color she offers, and both are superb. Amazing quality, handmade by an artisan in Israel, and custom to my exact needs (with room to spare). All told, both special order bags with express shipping from Israel totalled 1/4 what the Mini Pochette did.
I purchased one a few years back, but returned it the next day since it was so small to the point of being impractical for me. To each their own, but for me I know my habits/inventory and it just made more sense to get the full-sized Pochette or cosmetic case instead of carrying around several small pouches at once.
I have one and use it. But honestly, for me, the almost $400 price tag is not worth it. What do I have in there? A pen, a small phone charger, some plackers, an eyeliner, bandaids, and my ear buds. I would have been fine with a pouch from Target, I think.
It is rather refreshing to read some of these responses; it seems going by some You Tubers having this (and a bag full of only LV SLGs for that matter) in your LV is a must. I'd like to maybe add a LV wallet and cosmetic/toiletry case one of these days but so far I only have my NF pouch: everything else (wallets, pouches) is contemporary or actually from Indigo! @lwn I will have to check out that etsy vendor!
Im a bit of a sucker for little cute SLG's LV do, can't help it but I do find uses for them. It takes me ages to fathom out what bag to buy next but im rather impulsive when it comes to SLG's. My mini pochette I use as either a cosmetic case or mini wristlet/wallet, stick a card holder some loose change and cash an I'm good to go. When I think about it if I buy 3 LV SLG's can almost buy a bag with more useful space and function

Me too -- I can't get enough of LV SLGs! I have way more LV SLGs than I do LV bags -- and I don't mind it one bit.
I bought mine years ago specifically to house my cell phone in my handbag.
I was not immediately taken with it.
The chain annoyed me. I needed morale support here at tPF to keep the chain in tact. Learned to love it and now I have three !!
I dont use them everyday but when I do I love it and get so many compliments.

I also have the Tahitienne MP as well as the DE.
I have yet to use the Tahitienne one [emoji85]. I was so excited to have it, but have found I definitely didn't need it. My DE was used in my NF for cell phone charge cords, portable charger, earbuds etc. I ended up taking it (and a couple other items) out to lighten up the weight of the bag. So, now they both sit unused. [emoji53]
I did notice though -- just yesterday that the strap on my Ted Baker clutch (that also doesn't get used ha) is the same pink as on the Tahitienne so I may try wearing it crossbody sometime when I'd like to go hands free.
So, after all that I guess I'm saying I hope to use mine at least sometimes, but likely not on a regular basis.
I think I'll keep them both for my daughters to have - if for nothing else. Especially with the way prices increase.
I hope you are able to find a use for yours as well. [emoji173]️

The Tahitienne was my first mp. Honestly, I was over the moon because I was able to get something from this collection. I'm happy just looking at it. I use it to hold extra cards, band aids, and my lipstick. It replaced the function of my Longchamp coin purse. Will I buy another one? Only if I get the Christmas animation with the penguins. I will use it inside my DE bags...
It's great simply because getting it and being on this board taught me to use little pouches in my bags for organization and easy switching of bags. In hindsight I wouldn't spend that money on these little bags when I can get good matches from Coach, or even less, and put the difference towards an actual bag. [emoji4]
I bought a mini p but ended up selling it. I couldn't stand the chain. I might have enjoyed it more if the chain was completely detachable. I hated the chain getting hung up on stuff in my bag and it added unnecessary weight (though minimal - but weight none the less). I bought a mini o-case and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect size. I do love the Azur T print though. If the price was less, I might try the mini p again but I'd much rather put that money towards a Chanel SLG.
I use mine every day and I love it, but if it doesn't work for you just let it go and get something you would actually use
