It is, but I think I would like to be able to use it other than just carry on too so I didn’t want anything crazy huge, but I also don’t want something too small that won’t fit my iPad, makeup case, phone, wallet and chargers.
If it's the only carryon you're taking, might as well go for mm
 
I have the PM size and carry it as my daily bag. I love it. There is a video on you tube that compares the Iena MM with the Neverfull MM and they hold about the same amount of stuff.

I cannot decide which one to get, I loved the size of my “Kate Spade-Watson Lane small Maya tote” I have compared the measurements a bunch with the PM and they seem to be similar. I just get nervous to pull the trigger because everyone says it’s small and the MM is better. I just don’t carry much stuff. I’m 5’4 1/2 (lol) and about 175 so I don’t want it to look to small (the PM). Fashionphile is were I will be getting it from and their strap measurements vary, does it fit comfortably on shoulders? With coat? Thank you!
 
Hi,
I had the mm for two days (never took it out) and returned it because it had flaws and I've read a lot about the issues with the corner wear.
BUT I was surprised how small the mm really was. I wanted to use it as alternative to my neverfull when travelling and going to the city (security of the zipper). I think it has just the right size for that and even when carrying less it is great- it really is not too big.
I am still debating if I should give it another shot and buy it again (flawless this time of course) and hope that I will be lucky when it comes to wear and tear... still unsure.
Let us know how you decide !

I definitely will!! Thank you for your input! Did the bag come from the LV website? I ordered a monogram mini pochette from them and sent it back because the piping was wavy at the bottom, now I’m nervous about the random quality. That’s why I am ordering from Fashionphile, that way you know EXACTLY the bag you are getting.
 
I don’t carry big bags, I’m 5’1”, 115, big bags swallow me up. I have a Neverfull MM that I only use cinched because I feel like it looks too big on me open. That being said, I think the pm is perfect if you don’t carry a lot. Everyday I carry my Iena PM, I have my zippy coin purse, key cles, zippy round coin, mini pouchette, plus 2 other small card holders and my sunglasses. With all of that inside, there is still lots of room.

Yes it came from the website. First time that happened to me though... all other things I bought online were just fine.
I wrote about the flaws in the iena clubhouse a few weeks ago.

Thinking of getting the iena mm too. Mostly for travelling and a little
But for daily wear. Any inputs from iena mm users would be appreciated.
I have both the Iena MM & PM both in DE. I absolutely love love love these bags! Very pleased. I purchased the MM first and I highly recommend also buying an organizer for it. I ordered the Samorga one to match the inside and am pleased. I ended up getting the PM 2 months later just because sometimes I want a smaller bag for running around. I am 5'2" and i have no issues with the MM or PM. I compared the MM to the never full mm size in the store and the Iena is for certain smaller (which made me happy). It doesn't seem as if you are carrying a tote around but rather just a larger handbag. No issues with mine but with all my handbags regardless of cost I don't just toss them nor am I rough with them. I think the DE looks fabulous on this bag also. Let us know what you decide!

I feel that the purse organisers take up space from the bag interior. Do you feel this also? Would it be too sloppy without an organiser? Or too slouchy?
