It looks like it released early as in today (in Europe only?). I just saw someone pick it up and it is also online on some of the EU sites according to the EU Chatting and Stalking thread. Ahhhh exciting. Mine is still under "Pending Order Validation". I'm in the US.

I too have the artsy, the graceful, the PM reverse, and the Palm Springs…this loop bag is nothing like them. First for a hobo bag can be worn crossbody and I find it a bit dressier with the gold chain. I doubt I’ll ever wear on the shoulder. I think it’s a great bag and prefer how easy it is to get in and out as the PM is a little tricky. Overall I’m enjoying this bag.
Eeek I very nearly bought it, it’s online here, but longevity concerns are holding me back. I’m going to wait and see how it wears, even if I end up missing out I think!
I’ve just ordered! (Uk). Honestly, been waiting for this for ages. Don’t know if it’s what I really want (especially for the price point) but I love a stylish hobo and LOVE reverse mono so hopefully it’s a keeper. Order is already ‘in preparation‘ from ordering only 4 hours ago.
Yayyy! Please share pics when you get it!
I feel the same way - love a hobo, and it's reverse, and it comes with a pouch. Plus the leather is treated so it sounds pretty carefree!

Ah yes, forgot about the treated leather. Another plus point as I’m not a vachetta fan!
Most people are worried about the canvas cracking. LV canvas isn't meant to bend like that. Over time if the same area keeps bending it'll lead to pressure points and could crack the canvas.
Would you hook the ends of the bag the way Marquita LV Luxury demonstrated in her video to copy the Gucci Attach? I can't decide if it would look silly or awesome that way. I'm also waiting for my pre-order to ship and I'm in the US.
I don't understand why the canvas would crack due to bending. The closure on a Noe bag requires the canvas to fold. A Rivoli MM is designed with pleats. A canvas Speedy arrives flat packed and isn't structured unless an organizer is used. Some canvas Pochette Metis' in the past had cracking in the flap but that occurred at the edge of the bend of the flap, not in the center of the flap. Have you had any canvas bags with cracking at the bend/fold? If so, was the cracking at the edge or center?
I dislike the way the attaché looks when hooked together. I was thinking of that bag if the Loop is a bust.
I have not had cracking on any of my bags. I rotate my bags every few days, so I don't use them that often. If you do a search of cracked canvas it will pull up all the threads for you. The pm, psm, bumbag, etc. all had cracking issues due to bending of the canvas.
I am now having serious doubts since watching some YT videos. It doesn’t look like the slouch is ‘natural’ to the bag and I do think the bend will create damage over time. Oh lord I think I might be buying a PSM again!
For me it’s the longevity of a bag that has such a bend and bending of canvas. I had a beautiful Bergamo that I really minded but it got cracks along the side where it bent in to be buttoned. My sister had an artsy that had awful cracking along the top edge where it bent in against her body. I’m hoping it will be fine with this bag but with the thinner canvas these days I’ll definitely be waiting to see how it pans out!
