The (Pochette) Metis Club

I bought the Metis last week and just noticed the same thing. I don't own any LV so didn't know until I read up on them, but I believe LV canvas are suppose to be aligned. Here are pics of mine. It's about 1-2mm off. I'm a perfectionist so this slight imperfection bothers me. I've used it twice. I wonder if it can return because it isn't aligned?

Seriously????
 
A little bit of info for those who are trying to get a pochette Metis. I am in Canada and my SA knows that I need a replacement for my canvas pm due to cracked glazing. We saw this as an issue about 4 months ago but because the bag was so hard to get she suggested I just use the bag I have now until the bag is easier to get. I was totally fine with this. I go visit her today and she told me that the Pochette Metis is no longer "orderable". Before you just needed to give a credit card and u could just get one. My sister in law did this about 6 weeks ago and she got one. Now my SA tells me that because stock is so low on it and demand is so high, the only way to get this bag will be to order it online when it's available online. The occasional one will come into the store but she says it's probably not likely. She says that this is the case for this bag, the favourite and Pallas clutch (I can't remember if she said any others). So for those who are looking in Canada just keep trying on the website. It sounds like they are releasing them only to the website for people to order! Good luck!!!

Can u tell me which store. I have been on wait list for 2 months here in US. I checked several stores with no luck.
Hi there, I live in the US too. You just have to "stalk" the website for one to become available unfortunately. Sadly, it doesn't seem many on the wait-list are getting them. I was able to just constantly refresh the website throughout the day at work until it said "place in cart" and snag a reverse! I ended up returning it on Saturday though because the canvas had a dark spot on the light colored flap part (which they were able to get 99% of it out in the store, but I have two more I was able to order online on Friday night before they got the spot out so I returned it anyways lol). Hope that helps and good luck! And if you live on the west coast, I'm in Portland, OR and will be likely returning one (or maybe selling) if the two I get are both in good condition! Good luck :biggrin:
 
Hi guys, check the web site frequently, I was able to order one in the morning, another one was available in 30 min. later...maybe they have more and "releasing" them one after another to maybe prevent "overbooking" problem and canceling orders...IHNI (I have no idea). And maybe not. I just realized that these available items are returns. (UPS does not work during the weekends, right?) Mine was just delivered to the warehouse (based on tracking number), so maybe I ordered the same one, haha! This is truly crazy!
Anyway... later I will share with you a "juicy" story with my returns...I just do not have the energy now to write that all down...but some stores are "picky" with the returns...and I was treated like a trash! Excellent Customer Service! No comments...

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while, but waiting to comment. Love seeing all the successful purchases! My parents are vacationing in Europe (mostly traveling through Spain). I gave them $$ to buy a PM if they came across the marine rouge color way on their travels. Luckily, they were able to find one today, in the LV boutique at the Corte Ingles in Barcelona. My dad texted me pictures of the PM and I ok'd him to purchase. I figure, with the exchange rate between Euro and USD, it was too good to pass up.. and if there are any unbearable imperfections IRL I can go to my local LV and exchange. Will post pictures after I pick up the parentals on Thursday...

My concern is this: I currently use a DA victorine wallet. Do you think the red interior of the PM eventually transfer onto my victorine? I'been carrying my montaigne mm in red (i think cerise?) with red interior, for a couple of weeks and haven't notice any transfer... but I suppose if I "HAVE TO" buy a new SLG... :p

Hi,

Congratulations![emoji322][emoji322] How exciting!

Really can't say...
However, there's always that potential with DA, and light colored items.

Since you saved quite a bit acquiring this bag in Europe, I think you should treat yourself to a new SLG.[emoji3]

oh wow...pls share pic when you get your PM Brouge....by the way if i may ask, which boutique did you waitlisted ?

Will do! I ordered in LV bijenkorf...I was told that it wouldn't be sold in boutiques in NL...so order only, wonder why? But seeing one SA saying one thing, others say another thing about PM reverse as mentioned by @Emsidee then It wouldn't surprise me if the info is somewhat inaccurate....
