Hi there,
I have been crushing over this PSM bag since its debut in 2016. But the issue previously such as the zipper (which has been changed now), and constant peeling of the canvas stopped me from purchasing the bag eventhough I was offered
I was even warned by a friend not to buy this bag since hers was repaired, & replaced twice. And she said its not worth the hype.
I would love it if any PSM owners (preferably owns more than a year) could share your honest opinion. Would you recommend buying the bag now?
thanks
p/s: i’ve owned a monogram pochette metis, which is also known for its problems. 2 years in, still good as new
hence i love to hear feedbacks about this PSM bag too

I bought this bag new from the boutique about a year ago. I have had no negative issues with it. It’s a great little piece and very different from anything else I own. Would def recommend!
I have the original PSM and would recommend it. Although I think they removed the extra fabric over the zipper so I think it’s easier to open and close. I would get it, I wear it crossbody. Maybe the new design will reduce the cracking ?
I just started looking Jan 28th. I was able to get one shipped to me from Saks today!
Ive had the Pochette Métis in reverse mono and it cracked twice. First time after just 6 months and Lv repaired my flap. Second time again after I think 1,5 years I went again to Lv showed my almost fully cracked bag and they gave me a new one. I’ve ended up selling it for a fair price for the buyer.
My Palm Springs Mini is still in fab condition and it’s now a littler over a year old. I must say I usually also only wear it in summer!

Yes, get the PSM. It's one of the best bags and so versatile. I love mine and have no problems with it.
Yay! Congratulations!!! Did you just call around to see who had availability or did a SA help you?
Thank you @OCMomof3 @beautycase @brnicutie, any recommendation what should i look out for in finding a good psm? Aside of the alignment of lv Monograms
PSM is the hardest bag for LV to get right due to the shape of the bag. Make sure the flowers are aligned at the top of the pocket, the black tab is centered and embossing deep, the handle on the top is straight, that one side of the bag is not cut bigger than the other side, etc. I'm not sure if you care where the bag is made, but mine is perfect and MIU. Here's a thread on the PSM.

Has anyone in California been able to find/purchase one from any boutique’s??

Aside from the alignment issue, I would look for the smoothness of the zipper. My PSM’s zipper is so smooth I can unzip and zip with one hand, which is super convenient.
my speedy 25 on the other hand has a stiff zipper that catches. I always have to use both hands.

I’m not a super picky buyer, but if the alignment was off on the front of this particular bag, I would notice. First one I looked at had no issue with this, so I bought it.
