Yay, thank you! The pm fits so much more I can use it a bag for everyday, the mini use just for my cell phone and wallet. I have a Sarah and it JUST fits, I normally don't like to change out wallets. Thanks for making me feel better about having both!:p:flowers:

Absolutely! :). The mini is the perfect on-the-go bag with the thin straps or even worn crossbody with one of the thin straps. It's very casual in this way. Perfect little purse. The pm has the much larger straps and is so much bigger, the size of a true backpack. So definitely enjoy both bags because they're so very different- each amazing in their own way :). And I hate switching out wallets as well. I have an empreinte zippy as my main wallet though so to be sure I don't rub the glazing of the wallet on the top of the minis interior I do switch out to my curieuse empreinte wallet instead when using my mini. It's the color noir so it's the perfect size for it and the perfect color. I couldn't be happier with the mini :)

Thank you :). My LV mini backpack and my empreinte items are currently my favorites in my LV collection. Definitely try the mini crossbody. This is the only way I wear it and the thin strap is so comfortable and cute for crossbody. I'm so happy this piece was released in canvas with black trimmings and not vachetta. Such an incredible combination. Only minor complaint about the mini is the useless front pocket. I don't use it at all, but another good thing about the pm size for you is you'll have that additional feature to the bigger of the bags :)

I can understand your concern for wanting a MIF. I was on the wait list for a month and then mine was delivered to me, MIU. It personally doesn't bother me at all because to me it's all the same quality of materials. I'm much more of a stickler for no scratches on the hardware (in this case the zipper pulls) and such. But I would say if you have your heart set on a MIF definitely hunt one down whether you shop for one on eBay or ask your SA to let you know when a MIF becomes available. It's such a cute little bag, perfect in every way, so if a part of the shopping experience is to have your items MIF then definitely wait :). For the price, it would be worth it for you to feel it's absolutely perfect :)

I

I had to wait a little bit to get one and I think they are very hard to get now so I would get the first available. I like having MIF bags too but I have many that have the tag and they are just fine. I think( or hope for you) that when you get the bag, if MIU, that once you see and start to use it you'll forget about about where it's made and rock the bag! It's too cute and fun of a bag to pass up.....I like the backpack so much I have the mini and just bought a preloved pm......love them both!!

Thank you so much for all your kind words! I actually decided to suck it up and get the MIU one. Unfortunately, when I got to the store, I found that the front tabs were all bent/messed up and the print was horribly misaligned. The MIF one that I originally reserved was definitely better, and even if I can overlook the country of origin, the misalignment was an eyesore, so I decided to pass. Here are pictures for those who are curious. Alas, my search continues!

Wow those tabs are terrible. Unacceptable. It looks like it may have been a store display. The first mini I ordered also came with an unaligned pattern and I returned it. The second one, luckily, was perfect. Hope you're able to find a perfect one soon enough, as well.
