All this MIF vs MIU is making me chuckle. We sure are passionate about our bags.

I bought my mono PM in Germany. When I finally got the call to pick up my bag, they actually had 2 in the store, one was MIF, one was MII.

I ended up getting the MII. It was perfect. The MIF was slightly misaligned. It also had a minor glazing defect.

But in my heart of heart, I will admit I would've gotten the MII even if the MIF was also perfect. I like that MII bags seem to be more rare.

But anyway, I agree it all comes down to each individual bag. MIF doesn't automatically mean a superior product, unfortunately.

Good post. [emoji106]

I could care less whether they're MIF, MIU, MII or MIS ...just got tired of every LV bag I bought for quite a while having some major issues. So glad this one is good...so far. It just happens to be MIU [emoji6]

It seems like the 3 main issues people have with this bag are alignment, glazing and sagging. My MIU does have some slight alignment issues but I want the bag badly enough that I will accept them. Can people please explain what they mean by glazing and sagging? The black glazing around mine is thick and the bag sags in the middle but I think that's normal right?

Hi ladies. I have been placed on a wait list for the PM in Perth, West Australia. The SA told me I was number 32 and those who do not have a PM have priority over someone buying who has already bought one. He also said they get 1 or 2 a month :sad: Any Aussies had any luck purchasing the PM from this far down the wait list? Anyone from Perth? I was hoping to have it for my birthday in a few weeks and thought maybe I could wait until Christmas but now I'm thinking next birthday if I am lucky.
