The (Pochette) Metis Club

[LVBAGS53]

Hello all!
I purchased a reverse PM. The bag is good overall, alignment, glazing and the lock, but the bottom right corner is slightly off. Debating if I should return or keep. This is my third purchase, the last 2 I had to return. What do you think? Thank you!

It looks very good to me. I don't see what is wrong.

Finally wearing the bandeau on my mono metis! Today I was in store and they had the mono metis on display, it is not hard to get anymore I guess!

They all look really lovely ! What are the biggest differences between the leather and the canvass version ? Any pros and cons ?
To the lady who bought the reverse monogram bag - it’s beautiful ! Is there another LV you would rather have ? If not , this is a beautiful piece.

I'm new to TPF. I received my online order of monogram PM yesterday. The package was crushed and there is no box either. The bag came in a dust bag inside a crumpled shopping bag. It was rather disappointing 1st online purchase experience. The bag itself seems ok from outside. It was made in USA - 27th week of 2020. The only issue I have is the inside the flap bulges/bubbles and does not lie flat. When the flap is closed, the bulge pushes the bag inward. You can also see it from the side of the bag. Is this normal or should I return or exchange?

Mine was very much the same way when I got it. I was also debating a return, but I decided to just keep it and use it, because the alignment and glazing was so nice...I had previously returned one with poor alignment and sold one that had some other issues. I will tell you that once I started putting my items in my bag and using it, that bulge started to flatten out and I don't even notice it anymore. But if it bothers you, then return it. There seem to be plenty of them to buy online right now. I don't think you are going to get a box any time soon, though...apparently they are experiencing a world wide packaging shortage right now and nobody seems to be getting a box lately.

Hi everyone,
Any suggestions on how to clean the vachetta on my pochette Métis? I’m not sure what it is. My sister mentioned trying a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Mine was exactly like that. It looks like the same bag I returned. It bothered me a lot.

Welcome to tPF Personally, that would bother me. I own 2 PM and neither of mine seem to do it that much. Pictured below is my Reverse. If you’re unhappy, I would exchange.

my reverse does that too and i am also so torn on whether or not to exchange/return. i've wanted this bag so much and from hearing all of the other issues this bag tends to have, this is literally the only 'issue' that i have with it. everywhere else it's perfect. i've also heard from other ppl that their bags also do this and they have kept them/is normal. what do you think you might do?

Hello,

I purchased the pochette metis in monogram a couple of weeks ago, it is my first LV bag! I was a bit disappointed when I received it in a shopping bag instead of a box thinking it was returned but I read in a different forum there is a box shortage. Based on the date code it was made in France in July 2020. I inspected the bag and thought there were a couple of very minor issues but wanted to ask the experienced LV bag owners if these are actually “issues”.
Thank you in advance View attachment 4819505View attachment 4819506View attachment 4819506does the pattern on the sides/bottom usually align? View attachment 4819509View attachment 4819510Glazing on this side is a little rough (small piece sticking out)View attachment 4819513corner not fully round

The glazing would probably annoy me, but I am questioning that wrinkling of the leather on the underside of the handle. For brand new it shouldn't have that should it? What did you decide to do?

 

[Camelia_blooms]

Thank you for your inputs. I think I will return it. The bulge does bother me since it pushes the flap forward when closed. I'm thinking of either get another monogram or empreinte instead. I'm looking at Noir or Marine Rouge. I wonder how much heavier the leather is vs canvas.

Hi all,

Finally after so many years, I managed to have my hands on a Reverse PM.. im so excited over this new bag. Really a love-hate relationship with this bag .. love it for her beauty and functionality, hated her for its known issues for so many years

Let's hope the newer range of PM holds up well like what LV had promised that they have resolved the common glazing and cracking issues

The alignment looks good on my piece.. can't wait to start wearing her soon
