I said good bye to my less then one year old Pochette Metis today. It started to peel where the strap rubbed against the flap... I was told I could get store credit and I honestly didn't know what to exchange it for.... I ordered the Croisette in DE but kept thinking it was a tad small. So, I went into the store first thing today and left Very Happy with a new released bag..... The mono Cluny BB it's perfect!! So for anyone in a similar situation, this bag is a great alternative to the PM.View attachment 3457762View attachment 3457764View attachment 3457765

This is beautiful!!! I may consider this one. Can you tell me the price of the bb and is the pink interior a hot pink or more of a fuschia? Also what material is the lining? Thanks and enjoy your beautiful new bag [emoji178]

It's a great bag and holds more than you think... The interior is fuschia in the Cluny BB and the Cluny MM has Blue. The BB price is US$1,870 for the BB.
 
Hello everyone!
I was originally looking into getting the Croisette, but with it being in the damier print and having so much vachetta, I don't know how practical it really is. Surprisingly enough, I hadn't come across the PM before (I am pretty new to the LV brand!), but as soon as I saw it I loved it. It's exactly my style, and I love how I could wear it year round. However, I took a quick glance through this thread and I'm starting to get discouraged. There seem to be several problems with this bag, which is pretty unacceptable imo for a $1700 bag.
Would you recommend getting this bag? I would plan on wearing it fairly regularly, so do you think it's going to start falling apart? Any input would be much appreciated! Especially if you can give me the lowdown on what specific issues are common (like the glaze peeling), and if there are any comparable bags. Thank you so much!!

I dont think it will fall apart. I dont expect my bag to perfect unless im paying an hermes price tag (even hermes bags have imperfections). It will have its normal wear and tear. I get pissed off yes but if i really like something i will learn to live with it. I personally like the Pochette metis, it's convenient, holds a lot but not heavy, and it's just perfect for me. So yes i will still recommend it.

I completely agree with you! I just bought one myself few days ago. I haven't worn it yet but I made sure I took the best one from the store. They had two pieces and one of them had a bit of a crocked corner at the bottom. Honestly I wouldn't even have looked if I didn't find this thread earlier and knew about the "imperfections" they sometime come with. There will always be something "imperfect" if you are looking and comparing. Give it a quick look, see that nothing is majorly wrong with it and enjoy it in good health :-).

+1 took me almost a year to finally purchase this bag...I've been so hesitant bc of all the issues it could potentially have. I've bought and returned it but since I couldn't get it out of my head, I decided to just go for it! I really love it! Although, I do worry about the potential issues it may have, I just enjoy. I don't baby it but I am careful with it.

If you love this bag you need to get it. Mine did have glazing/peeling "where the strap touched the flap" but now that you're aware of the issues happening, you're one step ahead!! The PM is a fab bag and LV will fix or exchange if this happens!! Enjoy!!
 
Pochette Metis. Bought in June. Made in Italy with the upside LVs inside flap and now already a glazing issue.
Completely fed up. Despite how much I enjoy using this bag I do not want to deal with LV's glazing.
Probably will not be buying any more from them.
I will take it to SA and store manager once my Agenda comes back for repair.
Wondering if it's even possible for a refund at this point or too late... sigh

Took my Metis in LV today and insisted a refund as I told them I don't like any of their current collection and they don't have a new Metis to exchange for me. Don't think I want to buy another LV for the time being although the cluny mono bb is quite cute.

I can't blame you, if nothing else catches your eye.. Did you get a refund??
 
Hiya ladies,

I got my replacement PM today (My first one the small plastic bit on the S lock went missing so I couldn't close the bag up properly and the gold hardware was all scratched up where it rubbed against each other). I didn't check the bag properly while I was at the store as my little girl was hungry and desperate to get something to eat. When I came home I had a proper look and I noticed the canvas on the front left corner looks cracked. I'm not sure whether I'm being too paranoid. I did have a good look with a torch and a magnifying glass to make sure whether it is actually a crack rather than stitching. The right corner looks fine and nothing like the left one. What do you guys think? Should I go back and get another exchange? 20160907_175459-1.jpg 20160907_175459-1.jpg 20160907_175459-2.jpg 20160907_175459-1.jpg 20160907_175459-2.jpg

Oh dear...that's really bad. I've given up on this bag although I really love it.
 
Just thought I'd say that I've had my Pochette Metis for a year, and have no problems with it. In a thread full of bags with issues, I think it's important to recognize that this isn't necessarily a doomed item, and that there are perfect ones out there!

This is such a great bag. I love it to bits.
