Hi guys! I recently got a DE pochette and noticed 2 things and was wondering if this would bother any of you? Or if this is just how the NM are? In the photos I have the Old Model DA pochette as a comparison point.
So, I noticed that 1. theres a Larger gap between the zipper end and the end of the pochette. I'm not so worried about the gap size but more of the zipper fabric that may frey a lot over time?
2. The other end where the 2 corners of canvas meet at the zipper fabric seems to be uneven.

Sorry if this has been addressed before, I tried to flip through this forum and could not find anything. I think I may be over thinking it, but wanted to see if any of you have experienced this? I wish I saw this at the time, but got so excited it was MIF, I got distracted... :doh::facepalm:View attachment 3506142 View attachment 3506143

So I've been using mine almost every day since Feb. no fraying. Also I think mine might also be "off" just a teeny tiny little bit but I am wondering if that's to reinforce the way the zipper stops when you open it. A zipper is grabbing those little hooks as it runs along the track. It never stops evenly. That's what keeps it in place. MYbe that's why the reinforced stitching matches a bit with how a zipper unzips unevenly. Not sure. Just a guess.
 
Hi ! I used to have the old model pochette. I sold it after 13 years and I'm thinking on getting a new one. Is the pochette NM bigger than the old one ? I found the old model to be a tad small.
Thanks for your help.

I have the NM and I believe it is just a little bigger than the OM. There are several youtube videos comparing the 2. BTW, the NM has an interior pocket.

Hi! I also had the old model pochette for about 10+ years and sold it in May; then bought a new pochette NM in July. I think the size is about the same, but the new one has a longer strap and a pocket inside. The interior of the new one is fabric; I can't remember exactly now but wasn't the old pochette's interior leather?
 
These are my pochettes: the first photo is the new Pochette NM and the second photo is the old model Pochette circa 2004 or so (sold in May).
If you count the squares, the size appears to be the same.
