Help! lol I just received my mini Pochette in DE in the mail and I think they put it in a box that was too small, causing the Pochette to bend in a way it shouldn’t. If I stuff it well enough, do you think the zipper and everything will straighten out as it should? There’s also dents and bumps in the canvas because of it being squished in there. Didn’t come with a ribbon either and everything seemed kind of thrown into the box. Debating on whether it’s worth the trouble to drive to my nearest store for a return or exchange, especially since they are hard to come by as is.

They aren’t using ribbons right now to eliminate one more thing someone would have touch because of the virus. :smile:

That’s ridiculous! SMH
 
Hi all. Normally wear DE.. my only mono piece is this pochette. I've had it for about a week and have noticed that the leather surrounding the slit on the loop end of the strap has creased. How should I store it? Strap on or strap off? Will keeping it on and looped make the creases worse or will attaching the strap (and sliding the hook through the whole) each time I wear it make it worse? Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
 
Thank you! I love using them to go out to dinner or something just with their little straps, or cross body or just long down my shoulder with a long leather strap.
I have only had my first one for a few weeks and I'm looking forward to buying another! They are very versatile pieces. Yours are in such good condition. How old are they?

Thank you! I have had the multicolors and cherries ones since probably 2005-2007ish. I bought the classic pochette more recently, from Poshmark, maybe within the last 5 years. I store them in their dust bags when I don’t use them which I think helps their conditions. My only complaints are the straps on the 2 brown ones - the straps peel and split into 2, almost entirely on one of them. I think it’s one reason why LV updated their straps in the newer pochettes. You can see the peeling in the pic especially on the cherry one.
 
hey guys! just received my mono PA recently and I'm thinking about getting a gold chain strap (same length as the vachetta strap) Does anyone have a pic of their PA mono in gold chain? I'd appreciate it a lot!! do u guys prefer the vachetta strap more?

I no longer have mono PA. I have DA and DE. I initially bought a gold chain (kcraft on eBay), but never used it. I use mine with the vachetta and ebene leather straps (mcraftleather on Etsy) and love them this way!

You should be able to search this thread with the search function to find mono with a gold chain or vachetta strap.

Here is me with a chain strap. I also have a vachetta one from Etsy and prefer it because the chain digs into my shoulder. I actually experience digging with all chain straps without a shoulder pad.

My 5 pochettes! My mini is always in my work bag and my most used is the white MC (you can prob tell) though I’ve been going easier on it lately and opting for the black or just the regular pochette. Cherries hasn’t been used in a while, I should change that. :smile: View attachment 4801718

I love your pochette collection! I'm debating to buy a pochette and mini pochette, or just buy the multi pochette. Kind of made at myself for not buying it awhile back. I checked the price and it increased by $200 from what I last checked :(
