The (Pochette) Metis Club

PM in rose poudre on eBay at the moment. High price but looks immaculate ...

The price + import charges of 350.19 GBP (after converting to USD) = approx...$2879.57 + shipping fee

Hate they retired the color so fast! Wasn't even on my radar, initially. The Empreinte version grew on me, as well as the Reverse

I have the Reverse. Does anyone else have trouble with the loop on the strap staying up? I am trying to decide if I should take the bag in for repair. It drives me crazy. I'm constantly pushing it back up. Thanks!

Have the same problem with my reverse! I don't care!!!

Yes my reverse strap loop has that problem too.
Is the issue just on the reverse?

My reverse has that second loop problem as well among all other issues... from what I heard the monogram has the same "loose" loop issue but not the Empreinte ones! Somehow this is the number one complaint for PM owners!

Ok guys I need some advice. It's my birthday in a few weeks and my present to myself ha ha was going to be the PM mono but I've been on the website all year and it's never available. I really want to treat myself for my birthday so do I get another LV bag (thinking of the GM neverful) or hold out for the PM??!!

Please if anyone sees this on the UK website can you DM me???

I'd say hold out for the PM, but that's just me, never really cared for the Neverfull.

Congrats! I haven't tried the Apple Guard spray, but I watched Shea Whitney's YT video/review on it, a while back. The product seems to be legit. It protects against water, stains, and some reviews claim-it slows down the natural process of the leather darkening over time(patina). Check out her video-she used it on her Mono PM.

Thanks! I sprayed apple guard on all of the vachetta on the bag. It worked great and there was no darkening at all.

Does only one knob on the S lock move? I used my PM for the first time yesterday and I thought I broke the lock already.

Opinions please!! I was able to snag an infrarouge metis, but am wondering if I should exchange for a reverse.
If you could only have one, which would you choose and why?

I would keep the infrarouge for the following reasons:
1)It is not longer in production and is more unique. I believe the reverse monogram is being reproduced.
2)The infrarouge is more versatile in that it can be dressed up or down
3)The infrarouge is black and red...a perfect combo! There have been some reports about color transfer on the reverse mono (not an issue with infrarouge
4)The infrarouge has a unique shine to it and silver hardware. The silver hardware really pops against the black and makes it stand out. While my worries may be unfounded, I am somewhat concerned about the gold hardware peeling in the future.
^^ Just my four cents But, I do appreciate the beauty of all the pochette metis bags! They are all beautiful and practical and while my first love goes to the infrarouage if I could only own one, I am eyeing the reverse, marine rouge or black for a possible second

You're welcome! Glad it worked great!

I read some reviews that said, it slows down the patina process, as well. Keep us updated on how your bag patina. Thanks!

Thanks, for uploading the pic! I like the floral print, it's super pretty. Which one do you like the best, between the Leopard Bandeau and this one?

Ok so I guess the infro-rouge, the pink, and cream PM have now been retired, since they are no longer even listed on the site? They have been missing for sometime now

Yes! The pink one is gone only for few days
IR and cream little longer.
