So red neverfull finally got here last night (UPS got here at 8pm). I adore the colors and feel like it’s definitely a better fit for me than the onthego this time around. I’ll take pics later today. I swoon!
I am still undecided as to how I feel about the neverfull having a lining that separates from the bag. Part of me thinks it will make for easier spot cleaning. Part of me is like because my other Neverfulls are not like this.
 
The pastel NF arrived today- shipped overnight from NJ distribution center and was left at the door. I did not request overnight delivery but it was a welcome surprise- not thrilled about it being left at the door but I live in a safe 'hood so no harm, no foul. It could have been a return- not sure.

Now for my first blush impression: the coloration is absolutely gorgeous. It is so unlike me to gravitate to powder pink but the gradient of pastels is stunning. The bag was MIU- little surprised because all the reveals I have seen are MIS. Not necessarily a deal-breaker. In terms of quality- it is excellent- the canvas feels substantial, the stitching is uniform, the glazing is intact and pretty thickly applied, the pattern is symmetrical. The lining is nice but I prefer the classic application. But I can live with it. The pouch is really nice and the zipper opens and closes smoothly and it closes all the way to the end securely- it is totally unlike the MP that have been noted here- no gaps.

So I will likely keep this beautiful bag- and I do recommend it if you can get your hands on one.
Yay! Glad you like it. I know the coloring is just gorgeous isn’t it. This year particularly those colors just provide a lovely pastel pop of smile :smile:
 
My pastel mini pochette has arrived :smile:

Initial thoughts:
- I do understand why people feel this canvas is "plasticky". To me, canvas is canvas, so it's not necessarily plasticky to me but it's....smoother?
- Like most others' mini pochettes, mine also has a gap at the end of the zipper. I would have never noticed this if I hadn't read about it here, so it doesn't bother me.
- The lining bunching is another "issue" I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read about it here, so it also doesn't bother me. I actually think my lining is sewn and fits decently.
- My pastel pochette is not any bigger than my mono mini pochette from 2007. In fact, my mono mini pochette fits more because of the lack of free moving lining

- I love this next to the Epi Seaside colour and tried using the strap with the mini pochette. It won't fit my phone with a Popsocket Otterbox case, so I will unlikely wear it this way but if I want to carry just my wallet and a lipstick, this would be pretty cute. (Yes it is 2 PM and I am STILL in my PJ's working from home LOL)

@lovecouture

You asked if I think it’s worth the markup. IMO to me mini Pochettes already aren’t worth $405. I got mine when they were $215 but that was 13 years ago. So you’ll have to decide if the markup on top of a pricey accessory is worth it to you.
Am I happy to own it? Yes.
Am I considering returning? Possibly, because I am questioning whether I really have use for 2 mini Pochette.
Could I have spent my $655 elsewhere? Most definitely!
