My SA told me in February that the PA is going to be discontinued.. She told me that it originally was a small bag within another bag, and that an actress/model (can't remember the name) stated using it separately as a small bag. It became so popular, so LV started to make it as a separate bag.

I just ordered a preloved PA NM in Rose Angelique vernis, and I'm thinking about getting it in mono as well before it is too late :smile:

Interesting! Thanks for sharing :). The rose vernis is stunning!! Congrats!!! And yes get the mono too. The PA is such a practical bag, especially crossbody. Great price point too :)

Sorry to post another "help me decide" question :lol:
For small xbody bags, I have: mono Eva, DE Favorite MM, and ordered a Mono original model Pochette.
Considering putting a pre-loved Epi pochette in Noir on my wishlist - I have a strap to wear it cross body...just trying to decide between it and the DE.
Any thoughts? :heart:

I have the Pochette in both epi n canvas, just a heads up, the epi is stiffer and will hold slightly less than the canvas. It does not stretch like the canvas ones.

Hi, I wanted your opinions on whether I should keep 2 PAs (monogram & DE). It was a phone order and I ordered both because I couldn't make up my mind. Now I hear it's being discontinued & I feel like I HAVE to keep both. I was thinking of returning DE - I usually like DE purses but with SLGs, I tend to fall for monogram. DE PA's strap felt a little stiff and awkward. Btw, I have DE eva & monogram mini pochette.

Since you have the mini pochette and Eva in DE, you could return the PA in that print, especially if you don't love it but if you think you might regret doing that I'd hang onto it

Thanks for prompt reply! I actually have an old model mono PA, and I know mono PAs will get a very good use. I don't love DE and thus I'd normally return it, but the fact that it'll be discontinued is scaring me to think that I might regret the decision forever! LV really needs to keep these small pieces! I think they're bad business decisions.

Yes, this annoys me. Back in 2005-ish I went into LV to buy the Pochette original model and made some sort of comment about the bag's function or feature, to which the SA replied that I shouldn't be concerned with it because the PA is not a bag, it's meant as an accessory pouch for inside your bag. I knew this, I realize LV wasn't granting us a $300 bag (price back then), but allll the ladies were still using this as a bag/clutch.

Then LV updates the PA to be larger, includes a pocket inside, aannndd makes the strap longer, all so we can now use it like a proper bag!! I felt smug.

Just called customer service and there's a wait list for these pochettes about a 4-6 weeks wait. Pretty bummed about that ☹️

That's what they told me over a month ago and that they would call me when they would get more. They still have not call. But i was lucky enough to purchased one online . They don't know that because it's under my boyfriend's name. Just imagine the waiting list for the pochette accessoires. Hope you get it. =)
