Plus the Pochette Metis seems to have been plagued with design issues. Which may have been worked out already. But I think the Cluny is super sophisticated.

Wow, great pictures! I'll just pop by for a cup of coffee!
Thanks! You'd be very welcome!
Kind regards,

The Cluny is beautiful. Simple shapes are elegant in a pattern.
EB Cluny is a great bag too! I have never tried Porchette metis myself. I thought it looked good but not sure if the buckle itself is easy to use.
The Pochette Metis does not (to me) look dressy. If the closure is the kind where two "buttons" are pressed toward the center, that reminds me of a briefcase closure.
Now is it is nice bag? Yes. For work it might be perfect. Or travel.

I was unaware of the Cluny until I saw it at Neimans and fell in love with it. I think it will be very easy to use. And I wanted to get a fun strap and the pink one actually came with the bag.
I like it so much more than the Pochette Metis because it has a real handle, too. The reason why Pochette Metis is sold out in the US with a 800-900 person waitlist is because it's the darling of some fashion bloggers.
I like to follow my own tune fashion wise. I loathe this season's big wide sleeves because they are so impractical. The will get dirty and get hooked on things. Definitely not for me.

OK, I just googled Pochette Metis and I agree with @eagle1002us that it looks like a work bag to me. Not very dressy like Cluny can be dressed up (and down of course).
@etoupebirkin You definitely made the right choice! Who knew Pochette Metis has 800-900 person's wait-list!
Next "Birkin" perhaps?

When I went into the Vuitton store in Tysons, they told looked it up and told me that in the canvas, it's sold out. She was trying to sell me the leather version.OK, I just googled Pochette Metis and I agree with @eagle1002us that it looks like a work bag to me.

Of course she was!
Speaking of wide sleeves, I was just browsing some new collection of some on-line stores and saw a lot of those on offer. Nope, not a fan.
I love dramatic sleeves. And they are utterly impractical IRL. Look magnificent in photos, though.
The whole "more is more" trend seems clearly to be a function of Instagram "look at me" culture. Who other than street style stars and fashion bloggers have time to dress, every morning, in multiple, asymmetrical layers? What lifestyle permits one to be immobilized in head-to-toe jacquard and five-inch stilettos on a daily basis? Or never to wear a coat unless it's a "statement" coat, not intended for warmth or water resistance? And other than being photographed, attending fashion shows (and being photographed while attending fashion shows), what actual real-world activities can be conducted in voluminous sleeves and/or coats draped precariously on the shoulders with sleeves dangling?
There is a huge divide right now between Fashion-with-a-capital-F and reality. It will be interesting to see if the monetization of "influencers" will be lucrative enough to support such extreme discontinuity between what we're supposed to want and what we can actually use.

Standing in 5 inch stilettos while standing in the middle of traffic on a cobble stone street in Soho.
Lolol! Loading the dishwasher? Making spaghetti sauce?
Nope. I could hide a lot of Twizzlers in there though.
That's me!
