Hi I purchased a pochette metis reverse on eBay it new condition although new with tags were mentioned probably due to the tags and dust bag and everything included. I received the authenticators response and that was that the bag is authentic but it’s structure is lightly loose and there’s light debris in the bag? Here are the pictures. What should I do. I feel like it’s really still looks nice.
I personally think the bag looks good. Being the reverse coloring it had the darker lining whereas the brown has brown lining. The bag looks well structured on the outside. It could be the bag when used was pretty full therefore causing it to be wider almost at the sides. These bags can withstand a lot. I got rid of my monogram metis as I was unhappy with the tan leather tab. If I were to purchase another it woul be a different model with the black tab and handle. I've realised roo I prefer bigger bags.

There is an authentication thread to post in

The photo shows that the lining is sewn with creases. This is marriage. An uneven lining during wear will disrupt the mechanics, wear will be uneven and the overall appearance of the product may suffer.
Such a lining in any product is recognized as a marriage, to say nothing of a luxury item!

I have a Metis Monogram since 2016 but I hardly wear it. Maybe a handfull times in all these years. I just got it out of my closet to wear the bag, and see how I feel about it or if I should let it go.

I also think that I don’t like the strap it comes with? I feel that it’s to thin and stiff and the hardware is to much. I’m thinking about getting another strap to go with the bag?

I really like to wear a bag with thisstrap in the summer.
And in winter I wear it with my own strap.
I've been wearing this bag for 2.5 years. I love this bag!

Hi All. Just looking for some advice. So a piece of my leather on my top handle of my Pochette Metis peeled off ever so slightly. I’ve attached photos. I am pretty sure I was man handling my bag and that happened. So it’s kind of bothering me, and am wondering should I go in and get it repaired now or just wear the heck out of the bag and then get it repaired. I just purchased this bag last month and I wanted to wear it as my spring/rainy day and summer bag. So my thought is to wait until end of summer/fall to bring it in? I just hope my constant staring at the handle won’t get the best of me. ‍♀️
