The Easy Pouch is really small. I couldn’t believe how small it was when I saw it in person.

A monogram PA, for reference, according to the website is:
9.3 x 5.3 x 1.6 inches (length x height x width)
Easy Pouch on Strap:
7.5 x 4.5 x 1.2 inches (length x height x width)

I do like the empreinte MPA. If I wasn’t super full up on smaller bags I would be adding it to my list.

What about Empreinte do you not like? Just the look? Or is there something else I should be mindful of?

I loved the original Empreinte, but the revised version doesn't feel luxurious to me. Plasticky. I know that Épi is a stiff leather, but there is a major difference between being stiff and being more coating than leather. I know that there are many fans, I don't want to ruin the magic for them, but for me Empreinte is the symbol of the mismanagement at Vuitton. They hike the prices to get closer to Hermès, but in leather quality their choices are getting closer and closer to Michael Kors.
We had a long discussion about this topic in this thread, if you are interested:

Thanks for linking the thread which I’ve read. Since I’m not going for luxurious (I have that in my other handbags) empreinte may actually work out on my favor. I will see the bag in person on Friday, so until then I do really appreciate all this input!

I already have larger designer handbags which are more dressy/evening.
I’m looking for something more everyday for running errands. Something light and simple that I won’t have to baby. These two seem to fit the bill. I’d appreciate your input!

I love the idea and the look of the Easy Pouch! I actually got it in pink, but it barely held anything besides my phone and maybe a slim card case. I didn’t end up keeping it.
I was lusting after the black multi pochette in the empreinte, but actually got the Felicie in black empreinte. You can add a leather strap, or short chunky chain to it, or even double its chain in lots of fun ways. I find it holds quite a bit too:)
I hope you love whatever you end up getting!

Thanks for all your help. I actually went into the store today to see them both in person. I was really expecting to buy the MPA. It was very nicely made and extremely versatile. But, while looking at myself in the mirror wearing the MPA I realized it’s just not my style. I wouldn’t wear it as it is intended (as a set) or how the influencers are wearing it. Since I really wanted it just for the larger pochette to wear as a crossbody (the smaller pochette and chain would just be a bonus bag I’d probably just use for business- casual events) I couldn’t justify the insane price tag attached. So now I’m back to square one with my quest for an everyday errands crossbody.

Are you open to vintage? I have purchased a few preloved Epi Trocadero crossbody bags for great prices on Tradesey or eBay. You could get a size 25 in black Epi and it would be less than half the price of the easy pouch. I didn’t like the thin strap so removed it and use a guitar strap with it. Some of them have the sticky pockets but they are easy enough to clean with acetone or line with sticky felt.

Can anyone give any insight on the easy Pouch? I haven’t seen many forums on it. Would you choose the Alma bb epi or the easy pouch for everyday use? I live in a city and both of the options would have the be in the black color.

I have the Alma bb epi and love it. I ended up purchasing a second in DE. I don’t own the Easy Pouch but I wouldn’t purchase the bag based on its smaller dimensions.
