I saw it IRL. I really wanted to like it. The concept is good but the execution is a little lacking. The proportions are off. It is taller than it appears in pictures. The vachetta handle is not bad - much like the Portobello handle. The monogram strap is too thin (in width). The canvas is the thinner canvas which LV calls their "elegantly, casual" canvas. The thinner canvas didn't bother me. Again, it is much like the thinner DE canvas of the Portobello. I liked the front pocket, but could be problematic in closing as it needs to have something behind it to press on to snap close. It was comfortable on the shoulder. The side seams are sewn and sealed out - which gives it an odd appearance. Wish they would have done an internal seam - it would have improved the appearance of the bag. As, I said.......I really wanted to like the Metis. But for the price and the looks, will have to pass.
