Beautiful! How did you get it? I´m based in Stockholm and it is so hard to get a canvas pochette metis from that store! Did you get lucky?View attachment 4465991 Joining the club today with my new Pochette Metis in Monogram. Bought in Stockholm
I think it really comes down to the design of the bag. For glazing to crack where the flap opens seems inevitable in the long term. When I was looking for a replacement, a lot of the flap bags were folded leather or canvas flaps not glazed. For those with canvas cracking by the accodian sides, in the past, it was always trimmed with leather. I am thinking a lot more about stuff like this going forward when looking at bags. I just really love the mono PM and keep it on my wishlist...maybe one day I will rejoin the club.
I would think from your essentials, the metis would be a perfect fit for you. The leather strap would be extremely comfy and u would have an option to carry it top handle should you want to. Or even as a clutch. That tat bit more space can come in handy IMO
I agree. I have had issues with two of my LV bags, one was replaced and one I got store credit. Now whenever I buy an LV bag, i use it as often as i can incase any issue surfaces, I know I can return it.
I have been lucky with LV service. In addition to my PM getting store credit after 2 years, they gave me credit for my ikat NF and replaced a Clemence wallet twice before giving store credit for another wallet. Initially the store told me wear and tear with the PM only for repairs to determine it was defective. I have had a wallet reglazed after a year at no cost and my 6 ring keyholder reglazed after a few months at no cost. My local store seems to have become more wear and tear focused recently. Years ago, they were more inclined to simply replace a piece.
Can anyone help me out and explain how you know if your Empreinte Noir PM is affected by the “recall” or “defect” or whatever it’s called? I love all of my PMs and would definitely like to know so I can replace that one with the same if necessary. I only see minor marks on the handle, but it doesn’t look like melted glaze looked on my Empreinte speedy when defective. When I called the general number (US) the person I got said they had no clue what I was talking about. Mine is from 2017, right when they came out in Empreinte.

People have received calls from customer service. My noir was from early 2017 and I was told it was not part of the recall. I had sent it in for repairs and was told it was defective and could not be repaired. Your SA should be able to check your purchases to see if they are part of the recall.
Oh, ok. What was wrong with yours that you sent it in? I just see minor dents on the top handle. My speedy actually melted to a shirt I was wearing and had fuzz and fabric imprints lol.
Sadly, my SA left and I’m having awful luck in the past year with ones at the same store.
My bag had developed some minor cracking in the glazing where the flap flexes when you open the bag. I also had a popped stitch on the back zipper pocket. I am not sure why it was deemed defective - my guess is it may have been too labor intensive to fix the stitch. My ikat NF melted. My PM was not melting like my NF. That was a disaster like your speedy.
Hi all, is the PM in Empriente Noir heavy? Everyone says the canvas bags are lighter but I'm also reading the the empriente straps are more comfortable. Thoughts? TIA!
