I am still thinking what to respond to your question, so I check for an inspiration Fashionphile website and I found !18! PM in Reverse, 11 in Infrarouge and !0! in Mono. That might speak for itself... Reverse is definitely unique, but it might become only a fashionable item for season or two...Mono is on the market for more than 4 years and the demand is still high (wait list, permanently sold out, etc.) ...it is interesting that these limited editions (Reverse and Infrarouge) have tendency to last less (in buyers closets) even though they are unique and special...I do not know whether I answered your question or helped with your dilemma, but this is something worth to think about. I would personally sell Reverse. It is harder to combine with the outfit, Mono to me is a classic item, great for summer when we carry less than normal. What do you think?
Great answer ☺️ Has really made me think now xxx
 
For people in the UK, I finally managed to purchase a Pochette Metis online. I just happened to be on the website on Saturday night, and I was able to add it to cart and pay, however once I had completed my order, the bag was back to being "call for availability" so I think I just happened to be at the first place at the right time.

My order is currently in preparation so fingers crossed everything will go smoothly. I'm really nervous about it being a return, and having loads of issues, so we'll see!

I may write a list of things I need to inspect when it arrives, such as glazing, symmetry of the canvas, wonky locks, and scratches, how sad is that! As the two Chanel bags I own were both faulty, I don't have very much luck with bags.
Wow who'd have thought purchasing a luxury bag has to be such an ordeal.

I'll keep you guys updated and post some pics when the bag arrives as I may need your opinions and advice. Xo
 
Guys, I was able to order one Reverse right now..."Call for availability" again...so they had only one, probably a return... Grrr. But it is in my orders, I received the confirmation email, so we will see...Was looking at the web during the whole weekend, sigh...
 
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.

I think the emp noir is so pretty. I had the mono and reverse on in the store months ago, but just didn't love it. There is something special about this bag in empreinte though. I need a new bag for fall/winter and having a tough time deciding. I agree with you about this bag being able to transition with multiple outfits and styles!

The more I see this bag... the more I want it.

That's how it was for me. Now the more I use it, the more I love it. I even had to buy it a new wallet! Now I am debating if it needs a bandeau. When I was buying the wallet yesterday, the SA showed me a beautiful bandeau. I declined for now (I am on Ban Island after the wallet). So I put a "Warriors in Pink" scarf on it until I decide I want one and can afford it. I need to work on the ending knot.

Which bandeau was it, if you do not mind sharing with us. Thank you!
 
What an idea! I am totally sold! So, I started to play with my bags...(today is a lazy day after weeks, yay!) I have to try reverse version as well. I honestly think this way the bag is more feminine, it is cute, I really like it! What do you think?
Glad I could inspire you. I ended up sending all 3 I ordered back. I'm taking a break for now. All the issues with it make me nervous and I don't live near a store so when there is an issue it's a pain. Ordered a Tuileries Hobo from fashionphile instead...fingers crossed on that since I also sold my triangle softy (hobo) because I found the design on strap hardware annoying.

I know, I don't have "Now, what bag should I use?" :lol: I just change clothes then go.
But I'm still waiting for someone to post modified strap version. :lol: So I can borrow their idea and copy :smile:
I chunky gold chain would be nice :)
