Hi Ladies Iam joining this feed as i just purchased the pochette metis in reverse. I have beeb eyeing this bag for a while but never paid much attention to it as people told me its very hard tp get hold of and i hate having to beg for a bag. I just happen to walk into selfridges and ask if they had the pochette metis, and to my suprise she said yes. And then she bought out the pink the black. i liked them but somehow liked the look of the reverse as i feel its a bit different and two toned looks better. So i asked if she had the reverse and she said yes. i really liked it so i purchased it. My only question to you lades is has anyone used this bag for travelling? Do the boarding passes fit inside? I don't tend to travel with much. its usually just my card holder phone and my passport and chapstick but i would like to know if it does well for travels.
Thanks will share a picture below as well

For all you ladies who are purchasing anything in the new empriente PM or anything in the empriente leather especially Rose Poudre to double check every inch! I just took out my PM today and I found that there is glazing issues on the handle. It's already peeling! Luckily this is under 30 days still so I can hopefully get an exchange as I really do enjoy this bag. Just my luck that my RP Montaigne BB and RP PM are both experiencing same issues. IMG_9146.JPG
 
Question for everyone... I finally got my hands one last week (posted my story a few days ago!) and while I don't mind the slight sagging in the middle on the bottom is that normal? It just sags a little bit. Otherwise everything else is fine!!

Do you have the mono and empreinte? Im debating between the two, I fear the empreinte will loose it's structure after years of wear? I don't own any empreinte bags so I don't have any experience... but I'm curious cause I might want the black PM version!
I have the mono & reverse (love the style so much & wanted a version I could wear in all weather!!). I did have the noir empriente but as soon as I saw it in person (ordered online & just relied on pics) it didn't WOW me as much as pictures I had seen. Plus, the embossing south of the flap on one side was barely visible & quite noticeable - as opposed to the other side that was acceptable, & the front/back that was really deep. So even if I had loved it I would've exchanged it for another one with more even embossing. So I returned it that same day. Anyway sorry...all that to say that would've been my first empriente bag so I'm not sure how it wears. But every once in awhile I'm like UGH did I make the right choice bc it looks SO good on everyone!

But what I've seen from other reviews is that since the PM is more structured it'll hold up better structurally than say, a speedy.
