Does anyone have both the mono and reverse mono PM? Is it silly to have both?

Hey,
I have both. I got the original mono in September, I was very lucky I went into the store as they was putting the only one they got sent up lol so I nabbed it straight away. Then I see the new reverse came out and spoke to my S/A at head office and they said they are hard to get and a massive wait list and only available for 4 months [emoji86] she called me back the next day saying she found one and would I want it? So I thought I would rather have it then want it and can't get one. The pochette Metis is my fav Louis Vuitton bag so why not! lol

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]
