my replacement is on its way!! had a choice between the mono and the reverse. i ended up choosing the reverse. although i love the mono in the old model, i'm really liking the reverse in the new model and how the zipper isn't super strinking against the canvas. will be here next week, can't wait!!!
 
Help me decide! I only want to keep one but I like both equally for different reasons.

When I put them side by side I can see than the Reverse is more structured making the zipper glides like butter. The Reverse is just perfect! But monogram is classic and goes with everything.

Please look at the other 4 bags I bought recently and tell me if I should add classic monogram or reverse?

Thank you!

Help me decide! I only want to keep one but I like both equally for different reasons.

When I put them side by side I can see than the Reverse is more structured making the zipper glides like butter. The Reverse is just perfect! But monogram is classic and goes with everything.

Please look at the other 4 bags I bought recently and tell me if I should add classic monogram or reverse?

Thank you!
I ordered both too and kept the mono because it goes better with my wardrobe. The reverse was too much for my liking and I couldn’t unsee the peanut butter effect of the reverse. I also have so many LV straps that compliment the mono better than the reverse. I have never used the straps that came with the backpack.

As always you made some great points! Ok what strap are you using with this? As you can see I’m vertically challenged so the straps are too long. I took off the shorter ends and kind of created a hack job to make the straps shorter. I recently bought the monogram strap 16mm to wear with the Favorite MM Monogram which looks and feel way better than the non-adjustable strap that came with the Favorite. I think I can use that if I wear the PSM as a crossbody. But not sure what to use for straps as a Backpack?

tbh the reverse actually goes with a lot more than you think. i used to have the old model reverse before i traded it in the for the mono. i would agree with you, the reverse piece you have is better constructed compared to the mono. it all comes down to what makes your heart sing when you look at it.

In most bags I prefer classic mono but for some reason in this little bag I love & prefer the reverse. For me it’s going to be a casual bag, carried mostly slung over my shoulder & I think it will be fine with whatever I’m wearing. I’m short so I criss crossed my straps at the top & it brought the bag up another inch or 2 if I wear it as an actual backpack. They both look great on you! Good luck with your decision. I dont think you can go wrong either way.

Here’s a video on how to shorten the straps.

I cris cross mine too and it is perfect for a backpack and shoulder bag (lining them up together) I don't loop them through the d-ring

I’m bias since I have it in reverse! I feel like the monogram is seen everywhere and the reverse gives it a little edge and IMO goes with everything still. I recently bought mine I’m wondering if I can exchange for the new model one
 
I went in to return the Reverse and I took the Mono in to ask about the sticky zipper and they just got one in today so they exchanged it for me. This one is thicker or less mushy, better alignments, smooth zipper and MIF. So I’m satisfied! Thank you for all your help!

Oh while I was waiting for my SA I saw another lady with her PSM and I complimented her on her bag. That was when she showed me half of the zipper on the top half had ripped off the bag!! It was the older model. She said she had it for 8 months. Yikes!
