I've had my pm for about 4 months now and use it regularly, meaning at least twice a week. I love it. It's so practical and fits everything I need it to. The vachetta handle unfortunately got some rain drops on it one of the 3 days it rained this year, but it's also patina'd and isn't noticeable unless up close. I think the top handle actually had some fingernail scratches on it when I first got it, but I just ignored it and let myself enjoy it. Some people expect an absolute perfect bag, which I understand, given the cost, but sometimes I think searching for perfection and trying to keep it perfect ruins actually enjoying the bag. I used to be like that, but now I like my things to actually be used... Means it was an item well loved and lived in! And not like my pm looks bad, it's in excellent shape!
