The (Pochette) Metis Club

[TangerineKandy]

I’m considering a PM as my next bag, but I can’t decide what color. I want something that can be worn casually, as I’d want to be able to use it for everyday errands and taking to work (I wear scrubs). Would you recommend black, monogram or reverse monogram? My other LV bags are all DE.

I use my empreinte noir everyday and I dress super casually for work in jeans and a tee with sneakers.

I own all three and would definitely recommend the empreinte in noir. The PM is a great bag, it’s my favorite. The black goes with anything and because it’s more understated I reach for it pretty much all the time. The leather is also very durable. It can handle any type of weather and does not scratch. I’ve owned mine since 2019, used it a loooot and it still looks like new.

My first instinct is to tell you to buy what lures your heart in the most. But I thought I’d share my experience with something I didn’t expect. I have both canvas versions (mono and reverse) and the black empreinte. It’s my favourite bag of all time (at first for aesthetics, then purely for function), so, yes, three. I was in love with the reverse, that was IT for me and I kind of didn’t expect much from the other two. But. The monogram one is the most versatile and practical for me, it just goes with everything. I get the most compliments for the black one and it’s the one I choose when I feel like flying under the radar a bit. But the mono is by far the winner, all these years. It just looks so good, the perfect everyday bag. I spray with Collonil Carbon Pro, have been caught in the rain time and time again, and I have zero water spots and an even patina.

I also own the mono and black empreinte PM's and I couldn't agree more!

I asked this in another thread, but since this is on my PM, let me check in with fellow PM owners.
Is this normal for the glazing on the flap?

IMO cracking in this area is expected given it is a natural stress point for a flap style bag. My PM has not cracked yet, but all of my coach cassies (same style) are cracked there. Unfortunately thats how it goes I have used E6000 to touch up my coach cassie flap cracks

I feel like the S lock is slightly crooked. My last one I received the glazing was cracked. What does everyone think? The glazing on this one is perfect

I like your attitude! Enjoy your new bag!

Perhaps it just looks slightly crooked bc of what is or isn't inside your bag? The empriente isn't as stiff as canvas, so the flap may not sit straight at all the times. That's my thought anyway.

I just don’t want to keep sending it back lol 💕

 

[Purselover86]

This is just another question I have for you PM owners. Do you feel like a hard plastic here or something stiff? It might just be to keep the pocket structure but I don’t recall it on my previous bag.

I have two Pochette Metis, a reverse monogram and an Empreinte, both purchased around 2019. I don't notice anything that feels like plastic in those areas on either bag. The Empreinte feels like a stiff canvas and the reverse has a soft velvety interior which is firm, but not like plastic. Hope that helps.
