I have my eyes set on the Monogram PM for almost two years already - tried several times at my local store in the Philippines where one CA bluntly told me it was hopeless to get one.:shocked: Two weeks ago, I travelled to Hong Kong, lo and behold, 4 of the 6 stores we visited (total of 8 in HK) had MULTIPLE stocks of the monogram canvas. I immediately snagged one the day we arrived and bought a bandeau to protect the top handle.

Just a day before we left, I went back to The Peninsula (where I got my Mono from) to check again with the lovely CA who assisted me if there's any chance he can get the Reverse PM for me. He said he'll double check as it's been a long time since they had one. The following morning, I was surprised to receive an email from him and told me he just got one Reverse in stock. We immediately packed our bags and rushed to The Peninsula just a few hours before our flight back home. TBH, Reverse wasn't my first choice and after much convincing from the boyfriend, I exchanged my Monogram PM for the Reverse and just paid for the price difference. I know the Mono will haunt me sooner or later, but for now, I am so in love with my Reverse PM.:loveeyes::heart: :drool:
yes reverse is very nice than mono ( for me ) but sadly I have to return mine due to noticed some damage in the corner..So hopefully next week when i receive it, it will come perfect...

After refreshing it, it was letting me check out! Got an email confirmation. So hope all goes well. Then I can compare it with the mono and if I decide I like the reverse more then I’ll sell my mono!
Curious to know which one you prefer.
I had the same plan lol
Have a perfect Mono PM here and just received the Reverse PM after stalking it last week. Unfortunately, the bottom is a bit wonky due to a sticking/piping issue that created a big “dimple”.
Trying to decide if I should send her back. I’ve never returned anything from LV - is it better to mail it back or return it to the store?

If you have an LV store near you then I would return in stores. I think I returned once by mail, everything went smooth. But I always fear of packages getting lost that’s why I always go to store to return. Will you keep posted on what I decide when the reverse mono comes!

Would love some input as to which one is preferable: the Mono or Reverse. I had the Empreinte Noir but sold it and would like one canvas PM
Which one would you choose?

Hmmm...this is a tough one, honey. I love both actually and if I had extra money, I would be getting both no doubt. I guess it really depends on your preference? I ended up getting the Reverse since I wanted something 'different'.

Monogram: The vachetta worries me a lot. I'm quite OC so I will suggest that you get a bandeau or twilly to protect the top handle.

Reverse: I always wear dark jeans so the back part is prone to color transfer (that's what I've read so far). I will be the one adjusting to the bag, haha, so no jeans whenever I use that bag.:biggrin:
 
There you go! I do not carry any wallet, but I use the card holder from Felicie. I pay by CC only, so no coins, I carry only few bills in the back compartment of Felicie holder. It is a perfect fit for the PM's back inside pocket. The sunglasses case is optional, you can use LV canvas style, which is more compact. 2 sets of keys, blush, concealer, 2 lipsticks, pen, comb, lipbalm, nail & cuticle treatment (purple pen), floss, USB thumb, napkins, 2 throat candies (just in case), key pouch with car key and I am good to do. The bag is not overpacked, I do not use or recommend any extra dividers or bag organizers.
Looks great! I do exactly the same with my Felicie insert. Love that thing.

Same, I ordered mine last night and it's still pending. It's making me nervous.
Nevermind, the status JUST changed to "Order in Preparation."

Can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow. I'm also picking up my mono today so I'm really hoping that these have no defects and that they aren't returns that LV is trying to sell. I'm soooo hoping that theory isn't true. lol

Yay mine just changed to order in prep too. Ok good. Now I need to figure what’s up with my PS mini in reverse.
