Eh maybe right now there's more, but there are always a ton of Mono circulating there all the time. I think a lot has to with the demand and once people finally get there hands on it, they find they don't like it as much as they thought or it doesn't fit their lifestyle etc. I do agree that I wouldn't use Fashionphile and think I was going to make a profit, but because the prices are so high, you probably come out pretty well and you don't have to do anything yourself.
 
I really like the look and size of this bag but I feel like I might get odd looks carrying it as a guy. I'm torn between the Metis and a Goyard Belvedere at the moment.

Oh, come on! No way! I think it will look great on you! I have seen many guys caring this bag and hobo version as well and sometimes the fit is even better than with girls. Get it, share with us some modeling pics and we will gladly vote!

Are you getting a reverse or mono? If so they may not be available in store for you to buy or try it out . Occasionally mono or reverse pop up online but you gotta be stalking the website daily or even hourly lol . Its just all matter of luck at the right time . Empreinte is available online right now. Good luck !
 
May I ask, how is everyone who has the emp liking it so far? How's the wear and tear. Any cons? Does the strap rub the side glazing on the flap more when carried crossbody or on shoulder.
Hi! Are you thinking about getting one? I have one in marine rouge and have been carrying it for almost 3 months straight (exclusively crossbody). There is no peeling on the glazing, but I have noticed some color transfer from my jeans on one side. No big deal, though! I love this bag.

Just the mono. I'd like to pay in cash if possible, was kind of hoping I could put myself on the wait list and just drive over to the boutique to pay when they get to me.

Oh i see . If you put yourself on the waiting list for the mono, it may be a while before you can get it . Although I heard that they don't put anymore people on the wait list but I could be wrong .

Hi yes, I was thinking of getting one in emp in noir. I have been hesitant all this time because I heard about all the glazing issues and cracked canvas and then emp came out...the glazing I know can be repaired but I figure I can escape the cracking since it's leather. I know LV won't want to deal with cracked canvas even if tiny and I just don't want to deal with that or have to fight about it. Thxs for ur response i'm happy to hear u love ur bag still. It looks like when it's carried crossbody the hardware doesn't rub as much on the sides like shoulder carry does. What do u think? I haven't tried this bag yet but watched a bunch of vids on it.

I have it in Noir too and had been carrying her a lot. No glazing issues :smile: I love her. She replaced my speedyb 25 as my most used bag because she is easier to match being 1 solid colour. I love that I can transition from wearing runners to slightly smart casual outfits without changing bag. It can fit my wallet and essentials with room to spare. It is slightly heavier than my spedy b 25 DE though but still not too bad.
It looks like when it's carried crossbody the hardware doesn't rub as much on the sides like shoulder carry does. Yes, but because I'm only a shorty and medium size by not much really.

There is still room in the middle compartment for my iPhone 6S plus in a mophie case. Or it will fit in the front compartment. Because it is thinner on the bottom you can put small things beneath it.
