I need some advise. PM empriente vs Reverse? Any comments? I have a neoneo in empriente. Also do you think I should buy the reverse on ebay? The seller is selling a brand new one with receipt for a slightly higher price that LV stores. My concern is given its prone for issues, will LV dishonour to fix it etc? Havent purchased a pre-owned luxury bag before so I am still abit worried.
The receipt is dated Aug2020 with a retail price of $ 3050.

I'd order from LV directly for whichever you choose. You can't go wrong. The empreinte is gorgeous!

2 years ago, I asked for help here about the issues I had for a “new” PM in Mono that I bought thru SA in Vegas. People here helped me decide to return it. A month after that, I saw an Empreinte PM in Scarlet. I didn’t buy it coz I was still hoping to get a mono PM. Last month, I was shocked to see “place in cart” for the PM in Mono. But I dunno why I couldn’t justify buying it. Maybe too many issues? Then I saw again Scarlet PM but out of stock online. Find in store says available to a store 3hrs away from me. 1866 LV and text help said not available. I was going to that mall anyway, so I went. Waited in line for 45mins, got in and they have both Monogram & Scarlet. Both looked great, no issues. But my heart “smiles” with Scarlet PM and decided to bring her home. I officially joined the club. Date stamp said around Mar 2020, it’s not new new but it’s more special since it’s my birth month. And of course, the website said out of stock on that store that night after my purchase.
Love it!!! It looks darker red at night.

Amazing but I think Australia is very slow is restocking. I will probably go for empriente noir ...

I think that would mean yours is made in 2040! :confused1:
The one I just got is BA3240. But maybe they’re in the process of changing the format of the date codes, and instead of second and fourth numbers representing the year it will be third and forth from now on?! But I don’t know!
Did you purchase from the LV store or site? If so I’d call them and ask!:heart:

Omg I’m so dumb it is SD3240 I think I stretched out the back pocket trying to see it clearly lol

Sorry I have so many questions. I went to the store again today and I finally made up my mind. I will get the PM in empriente but I am would like to know whether if I get the Tourterelle colour, will my jeans transfer colour to it? Also do you think it will last longer as compared to noir in terms of wear? My neoneo is in noir empriente so I thought it will be good to get another colour. Thoughts?

Hi, I purchased preloved Pochette Metis in empreinte leather (creme) from Fashionphile. It is in excellent condition and I love it. That being said I wouldn’t buy Reverse PM from a preloved market because of the known issues with glazing and cracking of canvas. I have Mono too and I have cracking canvas. I have 2 issues with my 2 bags and even though I purchased them from the boutique they still tried to tell me it is normal wear and tear or trying to make me pay for a repair. I don’t trust them enough to know they would honor that if I don’t have a proof I purchased that from the boutique and I they have it in their system.

Hello everyone!! Finally after a long time, decided to get the PMR. It’s a beauty! So beautiful in person. I’m so excited because it’s also made in France. I expected it to be a little bigger but i was able to fit my daily essentials. I would have more room if I downgrade to a smaller wallet. Right now I’m using the mono Clemence wallet. Here are some pictures. I know that this purse has had some glazing issues and the SA Has informed me that LV has taken care of that issue, but I have attached some pictures of the glazing asking you ladies for another set of eyes to look at it. I’m assuming it’s the way it should be but what do you guys think? Is this how the glazing should look like? Just a little paranoid due to the history of the bag. 03794281-A87F-41B1-9F62-91432EBB7049.jpegDF902D19-10BA-48D9-A01E-915FB62AB281.jpeg27326D45-58AE-43F1-ADBD-3056124A2533.jpeg9DE3744D-F8F4-4D55-931C-56E87DEF8A8B.jpeg99C15878-E168-4330-84B6-94B910675D1C.jpeg0628107E-FF67-4BB8-9A96-AEEDA57BF63C.jpeg48AC2354-BA24-44B0-AAB5-AA14427915D0.jpeg549017E1-153F-4F2B-A3AD-8DF07B7834EB.png6FF69154-8F37-4A02-8207-7CD35F9B2971.pngThank you!!!

I cant decide whether to get empriente leather or the monogram. I am worried about the glazing on the monogram. Also the other concern I have, does the lock get scratched easily, given one will constantly open and close the bag?

You can get replacement hardware protectors from Handbag Haven if you want to avoid scratching the lock. They are just like the protective plastic stickers on new PMs.
