Been stalking the LV website for awhile now trying to get a favorite mm in DE and it looks like the price just went up?! $1,020 for MM and $830 for PM. Still out of stock at the moment but I hope this means there are no more crease issues!
Yep, price increases throughout all LV. Don’t think this makes the quality any better!
 
So I added myself to the waitlist at two stores on Tuesday and on Thursday one of the stores called me with the favorite MM available. I had ordered a Pochette Metis on wednesday that was delivered today and have already preordered a graceful mm in DA that’s coming March 30th, so I turned down the favorite. It was the Miami Saks location that was able to get it so quickly. I thought it would take a few months - I would have bought it if it had!

Lucked out on a random visit to my local LV and they received one favorite mm in their shipment today. The SA told me that LV was no longer making this bag but it looks like it was made the third week in 2018 in the US. Happy to join the club. Really wanted DE. Will continue to stalk the website.

Beautiful bag, I’m so happy you got it! I didn’t know that LV is discontinuing this bag. I am aware of the creasing issue but, I have no regrets with this bag and I have been using my bag every weekend since I got it in January :smile:

Off-topic, known glazing issues in the pochette Metis worried me the most. I was debating whether to get Pochette Metis vs Favorite. I ultimately decided not to purchase PM even though it is indeed a beautiful bag as well.

Otherwise there seems to be minor or major issues in many LV bags but it comes down to what we are or aren’t willing to live with,lol.

Another reason is that each of my bags serve a function (ie work bag, date night bag,weekend bag, errands bag) and I am already happily using my Favorite :smile:, Enjoy your beautiful Favorite!!

Does anyone else have this. So I know there's the dreaded creasing on the front that can happen. I have it inside the flap?? I don't mind it, prefer it there than on the front if I had to have creasing. My bag is 2 months old. 2018-03-01 15.55.28.jpg 2018-03-01 15.54.54.jpg
 
May I ask how often do you use it? Yours still look brand new, none would see that crease.
Used about 10 times in the 2 months I've had her. So not heavy user. Still have all the stickers on. The front flap is perfect would not be able to tell it has a crease on the inside. I'm hopeful that it will stay on the inside.

However, in the second photo where I intentionally bend the flap backwards, I can see a crease.
I’m fine with it as long as it doesn’t show on the front. Hope this helps!

You may have to ask yourself whether you can live with it if the crease developed in the front, if you can't then maybe it's best to do something now than later?

Thanks for this :smile: my crease is more pronounced when I bend the flap but also have faint crease line when flat. Is your canvas very soft and pliable? Mine is I actually like it that way.

The only thing I worry about is if it will eventually develop into a crease on the front. Do people who have the dreaded crease on the front have it inside the flap too?

Yes, the canvas of my DE is very soft and pliable, I :heart: it! I think one of the regular posters (‘Fabuleux’) once mentioned that different types of canvas are utilized when making a bag (ie luggage canvas vs wallet for example). :smile:

My SA said the canvas on mine is the reformulated version so seems thinner and softer pliable than previous DE canvas on the favourite. She said that it would address the creasing problems on the front. So in a way if that's true we are guinea pigs. I don't mind the crease in the inside flap better compromise than have it on the outside.

I got the reverse PM yesterday and LOVE it. I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to send it in someday for glazing, but at least they take care of u with that problem unlike the favorite with its creasing issues. It’s so hit or miss with SAs taking care of u if u have creasing. I wonder how many people actually have creasing out of the total amount of people who get it. Same thing with the PM and the glazing issue. My SA said no one had ever told her of a creasing issue with the favorite, but all we hear about on the forum is issue after issue. I’d love to know the % defect rate for both bags so I didn’t feel I was set up for failure so bad. I want the favorite mm too,
But am gonna wait a few months to spread out my spending:)
