The (Pochette) Metis Club

Thank you - this is good to know.

I’ve tried to get this bag about 4 times over the past six months (ordered all online) and each one looked dull, so I know it’s not just a certain batch that looks this way.

Yes, I bought two because I wanted to compare. I’ve not had luck with this purse in terms of defects and the overall look, but I think the right is finally the RIGHT one.

Thank you for your feedback!

I might be embarking on a similar journey, I just bought a PM a few days ago and will return it if it's not to my liking. Of the 4 PMs, did you return them online or in-store? Did they all come without date codes (meaning/assuming they have the microchip) or did some have the old date codes?

The first one I bought in the early Spring had a date code (made in France) but it was dull and I decided to return it. The two I recently bought did not have date codes. I bought both online and returned the one I didn't want online. I'm glad I did that as I was able to compare, and decided on one of them in the end.

P.S. None of the stores where I live had any PMs in empreinte leather so I was forced to but online.

I just posted this in another thread but thought I’d post it here too. I was just about to take my Empreinte Pochette Metis out for its second ever outing, it’s two and a half weeks old. I was really annoyed to see that on one of the clasps there seems to be a rusting thing going on? It’s been out of its dust bag once, to the play centre for about an hour, where it sat on a chair! Is this normal??? Should I bring it back?

I wouldn't say it's rust or a flaw. I'd just take a cloth to it and try to wipe or buff it off. I'm sure it would easily come off.

It definitely doesn’t come off, I tried that. It’s stuck fast. The PM is particularly noticeable. I would love if they would just swap the strap as I like the bag!

I was thinking the same thing. Try wiping it out first.

That was my first move but it’s not budging. I tried to buff it out. I haven’t used an abrasive, as I don’t want them to say I can’t return if it scratches the hardware. Also there are quite a few dots of it on the PM piece.

Take it back. Those marks shouldn’t be there on a brand new (very expensive) purse.

I was in touch and I’m bringing I back, I’m just going to change the strap as I love the embossing on the rest of the bag!

Just make sure the new strap is better then the old one, no other issues that are worse

It could happen!! I’ll have to check it over carefully!

Yes, if you find a tiny fault on a LV item, it can be better to trade it for another one sometimes. The last time I did that on online shopping, I ended up doing it twice but getting other issues with the new ones, regretting that I didnt keep my original bag All 3 bags had some issues. Often you are not switching a faulty bag for a perfect one, maybe just getting another one with new faults. So good luck, hope you will be satisfied

Well I would worry that it was only the start of the degradation of the metal on the strap, so I think I will replace. Hopefully just swapping out the strap will make it an easy exchange.

Ask for a replacement strap, they should be able to order that for you.
