Hi ladies.. just wanted to give you an update. I brought in the Favourite to the store, SA took a look and offered me a replacement/ credit. She did mention that if i were to get another Favourite in mono canvas, she can't guarantee that i will face the same issue. So i got the credit and topped up for a pochette metis. I was very lucky that 2 just came into the store this morning. I had the metis before but had glazing issues and was exchanged for a delightful. I took it as a sign today that i was meant to have the metis again in my collection. So fingers crossed.
