I have been having SERIOUS "returners remorse"!!! I miss my Infrarouge! So, today I called CS 1-800 and they could only find ONE left in the US and no restocking date (but not technically discontinued)... so they connected me with the SA in the Tampa, FL store and it's on its way to me. Who knows if it will be faulty... who knows how I will feel about the glazing if it's minor now that I know this may be my only chance to get it? Either way, I'm super excited it's on it's way to me!

I'm so happy for you! I went back and out the infrarouge on 12/30. You guys are a big reason why. Your beautiful pictures made me regret not gettting the bag at the beginning of December. So far, my bag still looks amazing. I hope your new one is what's you want! The bag is such a perfect size and holds so much. Good luck!!

@Sonmi999, thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I just love the bag so much, I really hated returning it, I don't want to miss out on this color. But you're right, I did return it for a reason. I have to remember the flaws and be able to use it without worrying. I'll stay in touch with my SA to keep a look out for me and stalk the website

oh wow, this is why I have decided to hold on to my bag. I'm so happy you managed to get another and I hope it doesn't peel or if it does it's very minor. I been lucky since the last spot my bag hasn't peeled anymore. This is really the most fabulous bag, I love everything about it.

Hi - I'm sure I've left some people out of this post, so please forgive me. I wanted to tell all of you that I received my replacement Infrarouge PM from the new shipment/batch today and after my VERY careful inspection, it looks perfect. Additionally, it's not nearly as shiny as the first one I received, which makes me think the coating is different! It's not as matte as my other Monogram pieces, but probably a good 50% or less glossy than the first Infrarouge PM I received originally. Crazy - but I will take it! I'm so hopeful this bag will be ok. [emoji120]

Yay! Congrats! So happy for you. Can you post pics of the new bag please? Wondering what you mean by less glossy..? And really hoping for everyone that those previous flaws have been corrected in new shipment and your piece remains perfect [emoji256]

Hey @SpeedyJC and @Sonmi999 Ugh, I've had a bit of a setback in my recovery from sinus surgery. I've barely been out of the house [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]. Tomorrow I will take her in the sun and inspect her like a hawk and report back! I am so happy to hear yours is still hanging in there SpeedyJC! BTW, my canvas feels exactly the same as the original... I don't think mine was from a new batch that has improved in the quality any or is any less shiny. After tomorrows inspection, we shall see if there are any shenanigans going on with the peeling!
Curious... are you guys interested in the new Empriente (sp?) PM? I love the silhouette so much, I am excited to see them. But I feel it will look a bit like the Twice bag which doesn't do much for me. I live for the contrast the IR has with the Red/Black.

Sorry you are having a set back with your recovery, hope you feel better soon. I am not really interested in the empreiente PM. I have one LV bag with emp leather and honestly that is enough for me. When it comes to LV I much favor canvas bags and when it comes to leather I favor Chanel caviar.I am thinking about adding a epi leather piece one day though.

I hope there are no shenanigans going on with the new bag, keep us posted!

LOL so do I. I was so excited to see it being used, you just do not see that word everyday. I also love the word malarkey which is another one you just dont see much.

Shuuuut uuuuup! I love malarkey! Like the post in Spring Summer 17 of the emp PM that got me all excited, but then it was a replica... that was a bunch of malarkey. We don't have time for that kind of shenanigans and Tom-foolery.
