@Puuna I spoke to my SA and going to preorder too! The vachetta version is 200 cheaper than black leather. And the vachetta is pre-tanned, so not as light as normal. I am leaning towards the black for care-free use, but I do like the full monogram of the vachetta version (the top flap is also mono). But vachetta is such a lifestyle. It snows a lot where i live so probably not a wise choice. The vachetta version looks more casual and classic and the black looks a bit more dressy and luxurious which would probably work better for going to work which I plan to use it for.

which gets your vote - vachetta version or black leather version?

The Vachetta contrast is prettier, black is darker,

I like the detachable charm the best

@Msdanger - If you're planning on using it for work, i would go with the black. Looks more formal (if a backpack can look formal) than the vachetta version. I chose black as well because although it's mostly canvas for the vachetta version, i plan to use mine predominantly for travel and i wanted a worry-free bag.

@ onlyk - I agree about the corners and the trims. I do worry about them and i know LV won't fix the corners for sure. I don't sell my bags when i buy them so those are major concerns for me. But i prefer the look of the newer Montsouris. Anyways, I couldn't decide so preordered it for now and will decide when i get it to see if they are dealbreakers for me.

@Puuna - yeah my thoughts exactly on the black. I am in the same boat. Going to see how I feel about the bag when it comes in and decide from there. I agree the look of the new montsouris is more for me than the vintage one.

@Msdanger - good idea. I feel this will be a popular backpack so better to order now and decide later. Might not be able to get it if you wait.

Does anyone have more pictures of the BB vachetta version?

Looks like the montsouris mono pm and bb got pulled from the EU website. Maybe they were just testing the post. I saved one pic from yesterday. Size wise it’s the same as the mini PS. Detachable straps too. Looks just like the pm from
The front, no bag charm.

Thanks. I’m really interested in this but hope the straps can be shortended a little more than that PSM. I’m only 5ft and the PSM falls too low on my back on the smallest setting.

Montsouris NM (2017 model), bought it in 2018 and I’m still in love with it!

Just got my Montsouris GM back from repair and I am in love with it all over again! Had all the vachetta replaced, which took about 14 weeks. Here’s a photo of the bag, as well as a before and after of the buckle. So happy, like I just got a new bag

I love my Palm Springs MM but needed something a little bigger for my laptop and checked out the Men’s section for the Discovery backpack. I also couldn’t resist adding a luggage tag to make it a little more girly.

Thank you! Only thing is being cautious with new vachetta, especially when there’s so much of it.
