Pochette Metis alternatives

[maryg1]

Hello!
I’ve been considering the pochette metis for casual outings, but I’m afraid it will look outdated in some years.
What are good alternatives?
Will a Speedy 25 be similar if worn crossbody?
I’m also open to vintage and discontinued styles.
No Epi leather considered.

Strictly my opinion, but the Pochette Metis is a bag I would never consider to become "outdated". It is a classic piece, and so popular it may become iconic in it's own right. I have loved LV since I was a teen and it's one of the reasons I consider the brand to be timeless. I received my 1st, a mono Noe when I graduated at 19 and I still have bags like the Multicolores, or Papillon that some may think of as outdated, but I still carry.

Cluny BB is a good alternative. A bit more structured but a classic shape and it fits a lot.

It’s just a square bag with a flap, how can it look dated? That said, the speedy is LV’s classic bag.

Maybe a saint placide or saint Germain? The general shape and buckle area looks similar.

I think the PM was released in 2018, is still highly coveted, despite its flaws. I don’t think this will ever look outdated.

The Pochette Metis was introduced in 2012. It probably won't be around forever, but the style is pretty classic. It's a great bag, aside from the annoying dividers. The Speedy 25 bandouliere is also great, but its flaw is the narrow zippered opening relative to the vacuous cavern inside.

Sorry, I meant 2012

Maybe Cluny or Bond Street? Both have a handy magnetic closure but neither have adjustable straps. I love my bond street pm size. Sorry, there is no substitute for the Pochette Métis- it is a brilliant bag.

Thanks for your replies!
I will try the bag next time I go to LV, so I can better understand if it is suitable for my needs.

Agreed. In no way will the Pochette Metis become "outdated."

Nobody mention the Croisette? It’s also pretty similar..

It’s a classic satchel style so unlikely to ever look out of date. If you wanted to ‘try out’ a cheaper version, you could get a Coach Cassie before splashing out on LV. They are virtually the same style but about quarter the cost.

I think it's a pretty classic style. You mentioned the Speedy B. I LOOOOOOVE mine! I have many bags and if I was ever made to choose only one for the rest of my life, I would choose my Speedy B. Don't tell my Birkin LOL.
