Yes, definitely! I use my Bandouliere strap with my PM Noir all the time. I think they go great together. And you can mix your SLGs and still be matchy matchy, if that’s what you’re into. Here are some photos. Hope it helps!

It looks very nice, thank you for the pictures. I am thinking to buy a different strap with a small round pouch. They come in 3 colour Black, Pink ( Macadamia) and Khaki, I also was looking originally to buy PM in pink colour, but it is not available in the UK, I went on a waiting list for a pink PM, and still no luck. So I decided to buy it in black, before new price increase for PM in empraint leather. Now I am waiting for the shops to reopen to try it with BANDOULIÈRE strap. I also was thinking to purchase PM in Dove colour, but changed my mind.

Ahh I see. I’ve seen others use the Multi-Pochette strap (which is similar to this) with the PM, but I don’t have this strap, so I haven’t done it myself. Hope others can share photos for you.

I have both and use my noir more. I think it’s just because I tend to match my bags with what I’m wearing, and it’s easier to just pickup a black bag to match with my outfits. The turtledove is a beautiful color that changes depending on the light, and I will use it when the right outfit calls for it. No color transfer issues with the turtledove so far, but I’ve only had it for a year, and it’s a pandemic year where bags are being used less in general so it’s hard to evaluate. It’s hard to choose between the two—I couldn’t obviously—but I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a black bag.

Thank you. I think you‘re right about the one in noir. It’s so classic, and would match everything.

MB -- I posted this in another thread but maybe I could get your opinion? U have some beautiful empreinte PMs. I got my turtledove in late October/early November. I'm working from home, not going too many places, switching my bags out frequently since it's winter and we have snow and rain here. Yesterday I noticed my glazing looks like it's cracking. I'm so bummed cuz I love love love this bag. This shouldn't happen this soon, correct? I'm so careful! I have the protective stickers on the hardware and I really watch where I put my bags, stuff them lightly and store them in the dust bags when I'm not using them. View attachment 5008154

UPDATE: the LV store just called and said they received a response to their email and they are deeming the bag defective so I can come in and exchange it. They don't have the color in stock, so they're going to order it. I will then make the 2 hour trip once they have the bag so I can look it over and turn in my defective bag. I have to say, it's been great service. They didn't say much when I brought it in, but what matters is that they're going to take care of the issue.

That’s great news! Glad they’re taking care of you. That’s always been my experience with LV as well.

Hi all! I have a question if anyone can help and I think this is the right place to ask! Could there be differences in the number of rows on the canvas on the inside of the flap? I’ve seen some photos where the stitching between the canvas and interior lining starts higher at the same level with the compartment top and others where canvas goes deeper into the back compartment - hope that made sense!

Final update! I made the trip to the store yesterday to look over my pochette metis. I actually think the embossing is deeper and more even than on the one I had to turn in. Date code is 10th week of 2021, which is now. Made in France. 20210313_081800.jpg I'm thrilled to have this bag back in my collection!

That’s fantastic news! Thanks for letting us know. I’m excited for your replacement :)

> You could have the store send you pics of the new bag, then do a phone charge (it’ll save you the extra drive back)

When I went in the first time, they didn't keep the bag. They took pictures and sent it home with me. I thought about having them send pictures, but I had to bring the bag back and also I wanted to make sure I didn't get someone's return. I wanted to see if the stickers were on the hardware, etc. Plus I was very EXCITED! As soon as she texted me, I was in the car in 15 minutes ready to make the trip! :biggrin:
