Pochette Accessoires Mono or DA or Both?

[p3b]

I have had my DA and DE for 4 1/2 years. Both look new except my DA tab has patina of course. I love both. DA for spring/summer (sometimes even sunny days in other seasons) and DE the rest of the time. I had monogram but it didn't get used because I always picked one of the other two so I sold it. I sometimes regret selling now that they are more than twice what I paid for mine. I should have kept as backup.

I have both and love my mono piece more. The DA piece I have used only once because I have another off white bag in my collection that is more worry free (Coach Cassie 19). I was very close to selling the DA PA but decided against it given the current prices. I’ve sold pieces from my collection before, had serious regrets and had to repurchase at the higher price. I don’t want to go through that again.

I have the DA but have only used it 3 times. It’s the most I would spend on a DA piece given risk of color transfer. I even purchased more light colored clothes to encourage purse wear. I would have purchased the monogram but I already own the Felicie in monogram. The PA fits stuff easier

Holy smokes, I randomly checked the LV website just now on a whim while taking a break from work and the mono PA was add to bag and I was able to get it! Now I’ll have both like you all said I should!

Incredible luck!!!

The PA in monogram was a thought but now is fleeting. I just reviewed purchased and saw my prior year purchase of the PA in DA for $600…I don’t think I can buy the PA mono at $1000 with a sound mind

I have and love both. I use my DA for spring/summer, and pull out the one in mono for fall/winter.

This bag is so nice, I bought it twice. I am actually the opposite of you. I really wanted it in Azur, but was first given the opportunity to buy it in Mono. I actually did not like mono at the time and only bought because of the price (and LV bag for only $630, hell yeah) and it was so hard to get (thrill of the chase). After I bought it and wore it a few times, I realized how that 1) I do like mono & 2) I still really needed it in azur. I was able to get the azur 6 months later (it had gone up to
$790 at that time). I love them both and do not baby the azur at all, but I usually only wear it with lighter colors or jeans that I’ve had for years. I did wear it once this summer with navy and has no issues. However, I’ve only had it since June of this year.

I agree with you, it is indeed addictive, and the harder to get it, the more you want it lol. I got myself a PA in DA first, then i realised how much i love the bag and so i got myself another in mono. I use both bags interchangeably, no issues with colour transfer too. I suggest you get both PAs, u wont regret it !

I also have both and use both! Love them! I have an adjustable vachetta strap to make them crossbody and also use a chain occasionally. My only other DA bag is the Girolata, which is sort of big, so the DA PA is a really easy grab and go summer bag.

I have both and love my mono piece more. The DA piece I have used only once because I have another off white bag in my collection that is more worry free (Coach Cassie 19).

For those of you with both…is it normal that the embossing on the tab for the mono looks a lot lighter than on the azur? It’s strange that it looks so different! Is this a factory flaw? Even the glazing is more pronounced on the azur.

These are perfectly fine variances. This is why they say "handmade". Which is not true, but it is still done by a person and by hand, when they hold the tabs to the edge paint machine, when they press down the heat stamps, etc... The stamping copper was not as hot with the Monogram as with the Azur. It's OK. These are not iPhones, can't and shouldn't be 100% identical.

I bought the mono 6 months before the azur. By that time, the mono had already started to patina so I don’t know it it was originally lighter.
