WOW! Looks great! I was thinking of buying a vintage bag and doing this. $780 for everything is a good price. I would love to see pics of your PM too.
Thanks! It will be totally worth it, especially if you can find a preloved one for a good price and the total overall price after repair is still good. I like the look of the new Montsouris backpacks but I just love these old ones even more. Here are some pictures of my GM and MM, both of which I got repaired over the summer. Let me know if you have any other questions! :heart:

WOW WOW!! They look amaaaaaazing! I definitely prefer the old style to the new version. I love my GM, and thankfully the vachetta looks nice without any staining. I am on the hunt for the MM and most to do not look good. I think the straps get wet from arm pits and they have weird uneven patina. :lol: Thank you for sharing!
 
Bought the hot spring backpack for a trip in early 2020. But then...well we all know what happened. Even though I am still not able to travel with her yet, I enjoyed this backpack a lot and got a decent use of it despite the lockdown. It goes well with causal because it is a backpack. But it’s also in shiny patent and very structured, which makes it work with semi-dressy outfits too. And a backpack is super handy when I am out with my dog. The only downside is the patent leather is stiff, which makes closing the bag difficult. It softens a bit overtime, but just a bit.

I bought the montsouris yesterday and the Vachetta is darker than usual. I asked to see two just in case. They were both about the same. Here is a picture View attachment 4918889

It’s definitely a beauty! How is the button hardware, did it have any scratches? I received mines yesterday and it’s looks great except for the button is scratch. Just curious...
