I have wanted the Pochette Metis since it first came out but never bought one, the strap just wasn’t long enough for cross body. (I have a speedy B Empreinte so strap issues can be solved) I haven’t seen one in person for a few years but still from time to time look on here at photos, online etc.

A pre loved 2019 made in France came up on a pre loved site I know well and I bought it quickly as I knew it would get snapped up. It’s never been used it’s been kept in perfect condition still with the protective tape on the lock, box, dust bag, original receipt etc.

I’m torn it’s in such good condition and I paid a good price for it, but I’m still not sure I love it, I really like it but as someone who over the last few years carries less and less I would be using it for keys, lip balm, small wallet and my phone.

I don’t know if I should keep it or send it back. Such a first world problem to have!

Post some pictures.

After I purchased my PM in monogram (after years of wanting one), I put it away for literally a whole year before I started wearing it regularly. It took some getting used to believe it or not. I don't know why, I never had this issue with other bags!

I felt the same when I got mine. I don't carry much with me either. But I love the bag. I think it's a good in-between size. I have a lot of bags that hold a lot or they hold just my absolute essentials. It's a good option if I need to carry a little more with me but I don't want to use a larger bag.

Can I ask what is a good price for a preloved PM Empreinte? I have the mono version and wondering if I should also get a Empreinte version. I think it's classic so you will always be able to use it, but if you're not in love with it now, not sure you should hold onto it if there are other bags that would work better for you!

I feel your first world problem!! And I agree about the strap, I'm too tall to comfortably wear one crossbody so I need a strap change. I, too, purchased my first metis (pre-loved) in excellent condition from fashionphile. I loved this one when it came out but never saw it in real life. I keep going back and forth on whether I should keep it. I think it's so pretty, and it's nearly new, but I wonder how this pattern wears with time since it features embroidery. I also wonder if it will retain its value since most of the time, Leather bags don't. Decisions decisions...
