dear pm club members, i got my PM yesterday too after comtemplating for a while reading mix reviews on this bag. I was shown few pieces to check, Made in france, with date code sp4196 and made in italy 3186 datecode which i made a comparison on the two. It seem that the batches are very well made with not much flaws i can find on the bags so i chosen the one made in France. I must say for the price and style, i really love it.
