I am now on the hunt for the Monogram Reverse Pouchette Metis. This bag is the PERFECT size for those trying to downsize to a medium bag plus the versatility with the handle makes it more functional. I was chatting online with an SA on the LV website and she was not helpful. What is the best method to get one of these bags, department store boutique in person or LV boutique? I did the research and I am willing to overpay for a pre-owned one plus I want a new one in case of any issues with bag. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! I am willing to wait.
