Not even 6 months since having mine, but the right corner where the flap bends started cracking and splitting. My store asked me to send pictures and after reviewing the photos, the repair manager was very apologetic, told me to bring it in for replacement or store credit. He had warned though that there's no guarantee it won't happen again with the new replacement so I opted for a store credit instead. Still debating whether I should get the same purse since I love it so much or whether I should consider other styles. How are the corners of your metis east west holding up?

that is very normal for any flap bag after using for a period of time, if that bother you then a non flap bag might work better

Also posted this pic on the June purchases thread - the empreinte version has a little bit more give than the monogram... so it fits a bit more than the mono version. Especially in the back slip pocket; my packed key cles fits comfortably in the empreinte version, but it was a little bit tight on the canvas versions.

This is good to know. How about the inside? Are you able to fit a bit more too?

Has anyone seen any glazing issues with the empriente?

Oh I was referring to the back slip pocket that's on the inside of the back - not the zip pocket. Sorry for the confusion!
Overall it does fit a little bit more than the canvas version... in addition to being able to fit a chunky key cles in the back, I can fit in an extra flat notepad (~0.5cm thick) compared to the canvas... hope that helps!

I also came home with this new black beauty :love: The leather is so light and supple! Totally in love.

Between these 3 I would say the leather is definitely the most supple. Followed by the Canvas and the Monoglam is very stiff and heavier. Either way I love all three of them!

Since you didn’t see any glazing issues yet. Can I ask how often do you use your mono one?

I just got the mono one and now deciding if I should return it for the future glazing issues. I use my bags seldomly. So the glazing issue might appear say 2-3 years from now and by then I’m not sure if they will blame it on wear and tear. :/

Btw ur collection makes me want to get another! (Both black and cream empriente actually )

I don't use any of my bags regularly, I work from home mostly so I only use my bags on the weekend and I rotate much so I think I haven't used the mono more then 10 times since I got it last year October :D honestly I'm not really worried about the glazing issue, if it happens it will happen and will see by then what I will do about it. Until then I will just enjoy my bag :love:

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!

Im considering getting this purse. If you guys own it, what color did u get? I already have so many black purses and don’t really want another monogram, but im afraid of lighter colored stuff lol. Anyone have the cream? Or any of the bicolor ones (noir/beige or dove/cream)? What did u guys think?
