Yes I had a reverse pm. It had got chipped glaze on a corner due to the strap hook hitting it when wearing crossbody and a stitch hole had teared due to uneven tension of the stitches that's what the quality inspector said on post mortem of my bag. The tear formed on a stitch that is a vital function for the bag as this is where all the weight is held if using top handle plus when opening and closing the flap. Hence it was unrepairable. That said I did enjoy using her for the 60days I had her. It's very casual and care free. But I wouldn't say it fits a ton either a full wallet would eat up a compartment. You could bulk it with accordian style sides, but this makes the bag look bulky and not very flattering crossbody. The multiple ways of wearing it is a bonus. I didn't like closing the S lock it can be pain faffing around closing it if your in a rush. The back zipper was so very useful for putting rail card and phone where you would need quick access. Overall Im not sure I would recommend this bag because of all the issues. There are definate design flaws. If they redesigned those areas I would highly recommend.

I'm a big believer in this too. That PM gave me so much grief. It just wasnt meant to be. It sounds silly but going through this grief i feel now was worth it. If it meant me getting this one handle bag because I just love it, more than I did with pm which I didn't think was at all possible :smile:

Thanks for all your input. I'm undecided but have some time to think about it. I'm going to Paris and Florence in July and will probably get a bag there due to the price difference. Maybe there will even be something else out by then. The SA told me that the Europe market gets some different bags that we in the US don't get so maybe I'll get lucky with one. If all else fails I'll just get the mono speedy b 25. I have it in ebene and love it. Would rather not get the same bag, but just cannot beat the versatility of that bag. Enjoy your new purchase. It looks elegant on you. Just beautiful!

To me the One Handle really resembles an LV suitcase in shape. It has that vintage, classic look. Saint Michel is more contemporary. I prefer the look of the One Handle infinitely more.

I wasn't able to see the Saint michel close up. But saw it on another customer trying it out. Plus my dd had taken lots of pictures of it to show me a week back when she was at the store, the SA thought I may like it. It's gorgeous in noir. The epi leather contrast gives it a very modern twist. The shape resemble's the one handle bag. I would say the saint michel is very contemporary looking with the hardware and epi leather. The One handle looks more traditional a homeage to vintage design. I like both design. But one handle won out over functionality because I need a top handle as i like to have the choice of been able to wear on the crook of my arm and also the strap is more adjustable it has five hole settings whereas St michel has two I think. The dimensions are similar too. I do think that the saint michel will feel a lot more carefree than the one handle just because one handle does have that dainty delicate feel to it and this would make you want to baby it even though it is very durable and hardwaring. I feel your pain choosing. It's hard.

View attachment 3686448 Does anyone own this bag? It's called the Saint Michel and the flap comes in epic leather in black, red or pink. The strap adjusts and there is a big pocket on the back side of the bag. Wondering what anyone thought of it. I'm thinking of it instead of the pochette metis. Just looking for opinions. THX. I also like the one handle bag, but think this is a bit larger and has that pocket on the back, but it doesn't have the single handle. Trade off.

I like the one handle out of your choices best. The St Michel makes me think of this....

If I remember correctly, it had at least 3 or 4 adjustments on the strap length. Hope that helps. When I tried it on it fit just right and I'm 5'2ish.

Thanks so much for the reply! :). That's very helpful. I'm on the fence about this bag. Can't wait to hear first impressions and reviews of it. Wondering if the leather will become very slouchy and such. I looove empreinte leather and noir :)

Does anyone know if the Jersey tote will be released in cherry or raisin (or something similar)?

PoodleMom, I have the Jersey in the Cream color. It is STUNNING in person. The pics don't do it justice. I love it. It doesn't feel as big as the NF. It's very comfortable on. I don't know about any colors that may be coming.

Would you say that the Jersey holds the same amount as a Neverfull MM or does it have a smaller capacity? I'm very interested in this bag! Any pics you'd be willing to share?

I would say it's similar to NF but a bit smaller. The base is the same length, but NF is longer at the top and wider. I'm 5'4" so I don't feel like the jersey looks big on me. I don't have any comparison pics I'll try to take some later. Getting ready for company LOL!! But I'll post what I have of the Jersey
