Oh hello fellow UK crazy bag lady (I assume you are one too ). Only slightly pochette related, do you know any trusted UK based pre-loved selling sites? I’m thinking of selling my PM that has been sat unused in my closet for two years, but don’t know where to start x
Designer Exchange are fantastic and reliable but the good service comes at a premium. :heart:

Hi, I am wondering about the gold loopholes on the Pochette Accessoires.. Do all styles/versions have both of the loopholes that the strap are attached to or do some (vintage pieces) only have one and the d ring on the end of the strap hooks onto the zipper pull?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this answer is what you’re looking for but both of my PAs have d-rings on both sides. Both have the ring where zipper ends on one side. One is made end of 2017, the other 2018...

I'm wondering if any of you worry about the wear and tear of the zipper part that sticks out on the side? I wear my PA cross body and the other day I noticed that the fabric on the zipper appear a bit stretched out. The zipper did look normal after not wearing the bag for a little bit. I'm concerned that in the long run the fabric will fray, stretch and possibly fall apart. Does anyone wear theirs cross body and know the wear and tear?

Are you over stuffing? I had this bag years ago and just obtained again. But the wear was great. This little bag is not to be overstuffed not made for that so yes the sipper will warp and get out of shape. It is meant to carry only the basics.

I think the really older versions of the PA only have the D ring on the end of the zipper. At least that was what I found when shopping around on eBay. I don't know the exact year it changed, maybe someone else knows though.
 
Hi, is anybody here from Europe can still get the DE PA? I ordered one from my SA few days after it was gone from the website, I was surprised she can still order it. It’s been almost a month, she doesn’t cancel it and said there are currently 4 ppl on the list. I am a bit unsure now, I don’t expect much but just wondering have I been given a false hope

Not over stuffing it. I only had my emilie wallet and iPhone. I can see how zippers would warp from over stuffing, but I'm more concerned about the part where the zipper dangles off to the side. Since that part of the zipper extends outside the length of the top, it's exposed to being twisted, pulled and rubbed against things.
 
:yahoo::yahoo:OMG!!! I just ordered a monogram pochette off the US website. Ive been stalking for months, checking all day and night, when it came up, Place in Cart, I about fell out of my chair! And this morning I purchased a DE pochette on fleabay with a date code of MB 4117. Today is my lucky day, I should have bought lottery tickets while I was out.

Yayyyy congrats!!! I’ve been stalking the DA everyday too and I hope to be as lucky as you soon [emoji38] at least this gives me some hope that’ll be available one day.

It will wear fine in that case.
