Count me in to the club! I’ve been a longtime admirer of the PM and have tried it on many times, but sadly it is just too big and boxy for my frame. I’d always hoped for a smaller version, so when the E/W was released I was giddy…EXCEPT I don’t do monogram. Then came Empriente, but only in black (which I have too much of as it is) and cream (which I didn’t think I would like) *sigh* When I saw the release of the full size PM in the wine color empriente I figured I’d give it another try and reached out to my SA, who had one in stock. Nope! Still too big and boxy and I was disappointed in the wine color. It reads more of a muddy brown in certain lights IMO. Just not to my liking. Since I was there, on a whim I asked if she had the PM E/W in cream empriente in stock, and she did…just one. It was love at first sight! Perfect size for me, dresses up or down, holds quite a bit, and the cream color fills a hole in my collection without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, the one in stock had a black mark (possibly glazing) on the inside edge. My SA ordered a new one and it was delivered today. It is perfection!
