Hi, I'm rather new so please accept my apologies for being a newbie to this forum. I personally found this forum too intimidating to join given I could never really afford luxury bags. However, after months of saving up and researching on my first LV bag, I was ecstatic to discover that LV had finally re-release a similar fuschia pink I've been lusting for in pochette metis (PM).

LV Pochette Metis (Canada) - $2,810 CAD
- https://ca.louisvuitton.com/eng-ca/products/pochette-metis-monogram-empreinte-nvprod630173v#M44291

Sadly, after my 4th exchange, I've had the following issues with them:
- stains/dirt --> CUTS (when wiping the stains/dirt with baby wipes, discovered they were actual cuts. If you push down against the leather, you can see the original colour.)
- crooked flap - a common issue that even Shea encountered - http://******/2MyGUhX
- straps also have stain/dirt --> cuts

I've honestly lost hope in this bag and was wondering if this bag was only made in USA. All the of the versions LV has exchanged with me came from USA. I've never had these issues with my SLGs (Victorian and Pochette Felicie) but they were either made in France, Spain or Italy.

I'm going to be returning this bag where I've been thinking of it since March 2018. I got it in May as it was my birthday gift to myself.

Are there any other bags that are similar to PM? I'm looking for an everyday casual cross-body bag. Tote bags do not really match my current life/work style as I take public transit and my neverfull would get frailed around by pushy commuters. ;_;

I love the Chanel urban companion in black caviar w/ silver hw but the price (2x) and unavailability breaks my heart...

Do you prefer leather or canvas?
I think that the Croisette, Clapton PM, MyLockme BB (or MyLockme) are all somewhat similar in style to the PM. The South Bank Besace is another cross body option, just zip top vs flap.

I honestly do not mind canvas, from my experience, it seems to be problem-free vs this empreinte freesia. My mom has the empreinte (in black for a different model) and recommended it to me.

I love the Croisette but it's too small to carry my everyday items. Love the shape of it, very sweet-looking. Wish list for going out.
I actually had the MyLockMe but was not fond of the black suede liner, collected dust and was hard for me to find items. Thanks so much for your recommendation! =D

So sorry this happened to you! Perhaps the Cluny? If you’re interested in something outside of LV, the Chanel Business Affinity is similar in shape, but a bit more in price.

Happy belated birthday!
