Mine is misaligned too but I decided I still love it!
It wouldn't let me upload the pic again but it is a couple posts up.

I went to pick mine up today and returned it right away. The reverse canvas was misaligned and there was a big black smudge on the flap almost like some misplaced glazing.

I was going to sell my traditional mono metis to fund this one but I'll be keeping her now. It wasn't meant to be I guess [emoji4]

Ya I probably could have lived with the misalignment but there was the big blob of dark glazing on the front flap too. I should have taken a photo. I was torn about selling my traditional mono so when I saw it I just knew it wasn't meant to be. Oh well :) every time I look at the 2017 new releases thread my wishlist grows so I'm sure I'll find something haha
 
Thanks I'm glad ladies don't see it as looking odd. Hubby thinks it looks like curtain tassels and the daughter thinks it looks like something that belongs on the end of a whip!.??. Its a Michael Kors tassel, got for Xmas. Chains was a tad long but was able to wrap it in the clasp to shorten.
Really nice!

Oh, sorry your reverse PM has some flaws. I've been thinking buying the red/black with the green interior pochette metis but always out of stock.
 
Don't you think it's bad that we have to put up with flaws? I know nothing is a 100 % perfect. Why produce a strap where the second loop is slack. It's not fit for purpose. Not good on a bag that is mega money. It's almost like the design is too complicated with so many issues.
exactly, which is why i really don't understand why they continue to keep producing it, and now in various prints and empreinte. fix the design before you keep pumping it out i say. beautiful bag, but it's like buying a car you already know is recalled. lol. i sold off 2, can't handle this bag except to admire the ones posted

I have been away from the forum for a while ! Ban Island ... I'm back because another bag as entered my radar .. I was thinking of purchasing the metis ! What are some of the issues people have been having with this bag ? I need to do my research any help from you would be appreciated !!
 
Anyone? How do you store your PMs?
I store mine stuffed and covered with its dustbag, I used to store it standing up, (which is best) but with my growing collection and lack of space, I stack my other bags on top of it [emoji87], I don't do that for my leather bags. It hasn't lost it's shape and I've been doing this for a year now.

Initially I stored with the strap in the bag just like how I received it from the boutique, but I realised it caused the front piece of canvas to "sink" inwards at the middle of the 'hole' where the strap wraps around. So now I store the strap outside, wrapped separately curled up in a pouch, this will help the 'loose' end of the strap to stay close to the main strap and not curl outwards when in use (I hope you get what I mean. )
As for the bag, I use the original bubble bag for the main compartment and a crushed piece of paper tissue (I asked LV for some) to put at the front compartment to push out the previous indentation.... after a short while it straighten up. I even put some tissue at the back compartment cos as you carry the bag it kinda moulds in according to your body... also to straighten it. Then I put it in the dustbag and tighten the sides to push in the flaps cos as you use, the sides of the flap may curl slightly.
I'm rather particular when it comes to bags I love. I love my bags looking pristine for as long as they live.... the good thing about this bag is it is quite malleable so if you feel the canvas is not too straight after use, just store it with tissue to the perfect shape you want. Hope this makes sense....and that it helps [emoji5]
