I have never liked it. And i thought i was the only one lol. It is like a smaller brief case, and the structure is too formal for it to be made of monogram. May be an epi leather PM would look okay, if i require a serious office bag that is, but with monograms all over it, it looks so mismatched because for me monogram = casual, and the shape of this bag isn't very casual looking in my eyes.
That's really interesting! Epi in this style might make me like this bag but I agree as it is, I have never understood the hype. It's always reminded me of an older lady's bag from the 70s (not sure why).
 
I see it around a lot, not as much as NF, but slowly it’s getting there. I never actually tried it till yesterday. I can see the attraction, very different in terms of organization compared to NF, it is small so fits the small purse trend without being tiny. I passed on it, I have a Celine Box with similar space. The CA was like this is a hard to get item and I’m lucky to see it in the store. I don’t hate it but do get why it is popular.
 
I semi-liked it for a split second, but don’t like the boxiness of it. Quite frankly, I have never thought that it looked good on anyone, at least not enough for me to do a double take or “stare” at it- sorry!

Yes I hated it! I had it in the reverse. It’s a beautiful bag but it just didn’t work for me. I hated opening the flap each time to get my crap. It didn’t really fit much for me. Luckily I was able to return it
 
I have the PM in canvas mono since 2019 and have noticed that every time I use it, my neck and shoulder where the strap laid on starts turning red and itchy. I haven’t used it in over a year due to Rona, so when I went for a short doctor’s visit, I decided to use it. And by the afternoon, same thing happened. Red and itchy skin. I told my DH that this purse hates me. Lol. I guess I can use other straps, but if it keeps giving me these purse “side effects” if I want to use the original strap, it makes me want to rehome it.

I have the Pochette Metis in Reverse and love how it looks but I realized that I like bigger bags and I am not really a crossbody person, I prefer totes and shoulder bags. The PM is just big enough, but I prefer to not have to worry about choosing what I want to bring when I go out. It is gorgeous though. I just got the OntheGo MM in monogram and love it, it is perfect for me (although flashier). But I still wear both and would not sell it.
