Hi all. I received my PM in Rose Poudre yesterday. (Online order from France) There’s something bugging me though; part of the pattern on the left hand side looks worn whereas on the right, it’s more pronounced. I have a few other Monogram Empreinte pieces and this isn’t an issues, even on the Lumineuse which is 9 years old and has been around the world with me!
Should I return this for exchange or has anyone else experienced this on their PM?


Thanks!

It's hard to tell in your pics due to the lighting on the left side.. but I hear this is a fairly common issue. I'm not one to fuss over small details but if the imprint is already worn out or is uneven, I would 100% exchange.

Got my hands on a reverse pochette Métis!!! Super excited but noticed a dent on the side flap. Is this a defect and do I need to return it now? :sad: or is this normal?

Hello! I don't know if this would bother me as long as is straightens out when I put things in. It's tough with the PM bags due to the history of issues so we are all on alert. Luckily my new mono PM didn't have any noticeable issues. Did you keep your mono PM as well?

What a great set of PMs! Love the matching card holders as well. Do you find that you use one over the other more? I was concerned about matching the reverse PM so went with mono. But obviously there is room for 2 PMs!!

hi, thank you. My style is casual-chic and PM compliments my outfits so good. It’s a great bag.
I use the mono for my brown, beige, white outfits. Well, i have to admit my heart belongs to reverse.
The idea of the card holder is to placed it in the back pocket as i don’t like carrying wallet.
I often swapped straps too.

This post is so helpful! I purchased a preloved PM and saw that the hardware was darker than the current PMs in the store and I was second guessing myself and if I should return it. This photo comparison helped me see that there was a difference in hardware.
