Hey everyone! I'm so conflicted.
I ordered the DE PA due to all the discontinuing rumours. It was on a my wishlist but now that I have it I'm not sure if I'll use it. Today is my last day for a refund... I don't want to regret returning it. So what would you do ? How handy is the PA for you ? How often do you use it?
I have a mini Pochette that I usually carry or put in another purse. I have the speedy 30 and Bloomsbury pm. And I will be getting the metis hobo in a few weeks.

I have both mini PA and OM PA. I use mini as a wristlet for night out or catchall in the work bag. OM PA(although I wish I had NM) I use it mostly cross body with gold chain for day out with friends or even for night out when I don't want to carry too much for going dancing etc. Usually I can carry my phone, two lipsticks, hand lotion, buss pass, cles and house key just fine. I think some people also use it inside their speedy/speedy b for carrying makeups with no handles.

I think monogram is good year around and versatile for night or day, and DE that you have makes it especially fanciful for a night out, I want DA for summer. I think you should keep it. I find PA really versatile, especially such diverse strap options.

I took the pochette away this weekend with me and really loved it. I am a NF girl (have 3) and a speedy 30. This was lightweight and easy. I even put the mini pochette in it to keep items more discrete.

Keep it, you can order a long chain or strap from sellers on eBay. I got a leather long strap from Mautto for a different look and crossbody wear and love it! It's a bit bigger than the Eva so I find it perfect for weekend wear [emoji4]

I went in to a holt Renfrew location yesterday and they told me I had to go to the maison location for a refund since it was an online purchase. So I went there and the SA mustve thought I was a nut job because my receipt was dated may 5th LOL so my deadline was the 19th not the 29th. So now my options would be a store credit and buy something else or just keep it. I should be receiving some chains from Mautto soon so I'll give them a try! Thanks for the help.

It is one of my most versatile pieces. I use it as a wristlet, inside a Speedy as a larger pouch...even fits in a Speedy 25, and as a crossbody and shoulder bag. I wore it out the other day and got two compliments. It is a bag you can fit a large phone in, plus a few cosmetics and keys in and run errands and look classy and put together...or it will take you into the evening with a gold chain. I love mine. Just love it...[emoji7]

Haha perhaps the purse gods have spoken lol. Jk. But seriously, this bag is terrific! When I got my DE pochette I didn't know if I'd use it or if it would just sit in my closet. I found myself favoring my speedys and not grabbing for the pochette but then when I started using the pochette I was hesitant to go back to my speedys haha. The pochette, even if you carry it with the strap it comes with, is amazingly comfortable. You forget you're carrying it. Turn it into a crossbody bag and it's adorable, comfortable and perfect for running errands and such. An all around great bag. Unfortunate they're discontinuing it. Definitely keep it. It's a fantastic piece :). I use my DE and epi pochette more than any of my bigger bags now- even more than my chanel bags haha. Nothing else is as comfortable.

I have the Mini Pochette in Mono & the Pochette NM in Mono. Since cell phones keep getting larger, I find myself rarely reaching for my Mini Pochette anymore. I personally think the Pochette NM is so much more versatile. I love that you can use it as a pouch in totes or as a clutch or shoulder bag. I also purchased a Mono Crossbody strap and have been wearing it on the weekends regardless of the weather. I love being hands free and not having to worry about the vachetta. Best of luck in whatever you decide!

Ahhh I cannot contain my excitement you guys!! My early birthday present came today, a PA in monogram. Considering the rumours that they're being discontinued, I wasn't even sure I'd be able to get one. So when it got delivered today I almost hugged the UPS guy haha. [emoji23] She is even more beautiful in real life! I will be using it mostly as a clutch for date nights or cross body, I bought some beautiful chains a while ago to dress it up.
So pleased I took the plunge and bought one, totally worth it can't wait to take her out with me on Friday [emoji7]
