I tried on several pochette metis’ in the store. Like 3 empreinte and 3-4 canvas and they all tilted forward. Some more than others. The one I ended up getting slightly tilts forwards but stands. It was ordered online. I think it’s totally normal. I haven’t had mine for long so I don’t know if it softens and stands on it’s own? Others might be able to chime in?Hey guys! I just bought this PM in reverse last week, and it’s a beaut! The alignment is not super perfect, maybe like 1mm off, but I guess being handmade, I shouldn’t fuss so much about it
HOWEVER, is it normal for the bag to tilt forward? Especially when it’s empty, sometimes it falls forward unless I adjust it in a way so it doesn’t fall. When I fill it up, it’s better, but I have to fill up the middle slot with heavier stuff, in order for it to stand well. If I fill the last slot, it might tilt to the front. (Attached pictures) Are yours the same? And is it normal to see some stitching (picture 5)?
I don’t know whether it’s the forum making me extra picky or what lol. But I also don’t wanna go over to the store and complain about minor things about the bag, even though the bag costs a bomb ugh. And the glazing of the bag seems good in my opinion, I don’t wanna risk getting another bag that’s worse! Lol. Really appreciate your input, thanks!

Congrats on your new beauty! Yes, tilting is normal cuz the back panel is the tallest in height compared to 2 front sections. When you have the bag full it balance out and sit nicely centred. Enjoy

Thank you so much LVoelies!
Makes me feel a whole lot better about my bag tilting and even falling forward sometimes lol. Guess mine is a little different than @MyBelongs to Louis as my middle panel is the tallest in height as the back and front panels are shorter than the main compartment (I hope it’s normal lol), so I guess I gotta rearrange my stuff carefully so it doesn’t fall forward haha.

Hey guys, I was just inspecting my bag further.. and I found this stitching on one side of the bag. Is it normal for the stitch hole to look like this? Will it tear and give issues in the future? The other side doesn’t look as bad. Attached some photos of both sides
I really want to start enjoying the bag, but all these little imperfections are making me super stressed, especially since it costs a lot of money!
And if I do go over to complain about this, I’m scared the replacement will be even worse, ugh!

I thought someone else would reply but I will chime in. I do not have the canvas Pochette Metis but want to say it doesn't look bad to me BUT if you are at all upset by the quality just take her back to the store. Maybe get a different bag you won't worry about as much? Or you could just use the bag carefree and if anything comes up then exchange her for something different or just get it repaired (depending on what the issue might be)? I've been happy with LV's repair service when I needed it on one of my bags.Hey guys, I was just inspecting my bag further.. and I found this stitching on one side of the bag.

My reverse mono PM looks the same at the stitches. It’s about 2 years old (bought in December 2018) and despite fair amount of use it hasn’t gotten worse. Hope this helps
Ahhh love all your pics everyone!!!
I just purchased the PM in emprinte noir!!! I’m waiting for it to arrive at my local store to go pick her up
Always wanted a black LV bag and never thought it would happen lol
