Hi PM lovers,
I’ve just noticed a slight peeling on my mono PM strap and it’s barely a year old! I’ve also been quite careful when using it. Is this one of the infamous peeling issues that others have experienced? Please advise. Thanks everyone!

Hi
Pochette Metis newcomer here :wave:

I‘m interested in buying this bag but was wondering whether you could wear it as a backpack?

I‘m thing slinging the long strap around the top handle or attaching a second strap on one hook and have both strap ends attached to the top handle.

Has anyone tried this yet?

TIA :flowers:
 
Hi everyone - help needed if you would be so kind. I'm in love with my 3yr old pochette metis empreinte. Moderately used. However the glazing has recently rubbed off the sides of the top handle, where it passes through the leather loops either side. Has anyone with a PM empreinte of a similar age had similar issues? I will take it to my local store but should I bother if only to be told its normal wear/tear after 3 yrs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mine is just starting to have this. It's not bad yet so I would just wait to have it reglazed. It doesn't bother me, I use my bag daily.

Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing it would classify as wear and tear which they wouldn't fix. Such a shame. I'd expected all my LV bags to last for years and years! I was planning to visit LV tomorrow, but might not bother now. Could you post pics of yours if you have time? xxx

If you're going anyways it doesn't hurt to ask! Let me know what they say! Here are my photos.
