Would love some input! Trying to decide between a Favorite MM and a Pochette Félicie as my next purchase? I’m wanting a small bag for evening and also when I just need to run out of the house with keys/phone/CCs. Pros/cons of both? I’m 5’10” and size 16 US, for reference.

I’m not usually into mono, but I like it on both of these bags! I have mostly DE pieces. I also like the Félicie in empreinte noir.
 
I had the Favorite MM mono twice and both times my purse developed a crease in the flap (there’s s thread on it). My bags were both deemed defective so I exchanged it for the Felicie empreinte. I absolutely love my Felicie. I don’t know if the creasing issue has stopped but I know I was very happy to get rid of my Favorite. I take very good care of my bags and both times with minimal use the bags developed the crease. LV was wonderful in making things right.
Pros of Felicie- detachable chain strap, can be worn multiple ways (thread on that), 2 bonus inserts that can be used in other bags, will carry a fair amount of stuff for evening wear, especially if you don’t use the inserts (I never use mine), well made beautiful bag in empreinte, snap closure. Comes in canvas or leather.
Cons may be too small for some people, smaller than Favorite. I HEAR the canvas flap doesn’t lie flat when packed with ur items and sometimes after much use the flap just doesn’t stay flat. I don’t have that issue with the empreinte and I use her lots! Crossbody chain may be too long or short for some.
Pros Favorite MM- holds a lot, bigger than Felicie Comes with shoulder strap and leather crossbody strap. Cute bag.
Cons- flap crease (unless LV rectified it) non detachable gold strap, magnetic closure, non adjustable vachetta crossbody strap. Front plate scratches easily.
HTH.
 
There is a thread that shows how to use the Felicie strap 10 different ways! (I was sold after seeing it) I am fan of convertible purses - its a crossbody, shoulder bag, and a clutch!

I too read about the flap issue; however, it is a result of popping the snap closure repeatedly. Someone advised in a thread to leave the flap unbuttoned when not in use. I have been leaving the bag unbutton in its dust bag and so far, so good.

I love my Felicie.
 
For your purposes here, the Felicie seems best. And you can use it inside a larger bag as a wallet and just slip in your phone and a lipstick to pull it out and use for dinner
 
I think pochette felicie is such a good deal for its price. You get 2 inserts plus a detachable gold chain that can be use to other bags. I am also considering to get the felicie but i kinda like the favorite but i hate that it creases overtime. Anyhow, Voting for felicie. GLD
 
I had the Favorite MM and sold it after about 6 months. I regretted the purchase. Mine was not well made and I didn't like that the long strap didn't have a clasp on both sides, making it difficult to make into a clutch. I have a Chanel WOC, so I've never considered the Felicie and can't give any advice on it.

Favorite MM would hold twice the among Felicie holds and wears better. Also on the look of the bags, I like Favorite better (pm or mm), felicie is just too stiff looking to me.
 
I had the same dilemma because all the LV stores that I went to in London was sold out of the favorite mm. I really wanted to make use of my VAT refund while I am here for vacation so I was going to get a bag no matter what. I think both bags are great. I just wanted a bag to hold my card case, car keys and phone while doing errands around town. As mentioned by onlyk the Felicie is very structured and there isn’t much give if want to carry more. I was lucky enough to finally score my favorite mm here and I went with the favorite. It is really roomy without being too big. It is big enough to hold everything and even insert a bag organizer. I just purchased one on Etsy from joomoni. I am hoping it will arrive before I get back from my vacation in about two weeks. What you can do is try to score a favorite and compare to two side by side. Felicie is available in a lot of LV store right now so you can wait for that option.(comparing side by side) TBH, you can’t make the wrong choice because they are both really cute bags.❤️
 
I recently just got the felicie and I love it! I love the 2 inserts it comes with that I can pop in other bags. I carry the card insert, my key fob with 2 keys, and my airpods. If I take out the airpods I can fit my iphone 8 plus with a little pop socket. It's good to dress up and dress down. I'm 5'5 and the bag hits crossbody perfectly on me but I think it might hit a little high on you. I am also considering the mono strap which might be a little longer.
