I just got it. Was stalking the website last Monday night. I don’t like it. The monogram canvas is so dull and faded, I can barely see the print on it. But the worst part is there is misalignment above the lock in the front. Trying to decide if I can keep it like that or return. It looks like a fake bag to me.

I am in the same boat! I got mine Friday. The canvas is much grainier and the monogram print is so dull you can hardly see it. I am so disappointed. Apparently there are two versions out this year, the newer one being more dull. I am attaching a photo of mine and another one I found online with them side by side. I am taking mine back in tomorrow to see if I can return and wait for another one with brighter canvas. Breaks my heart, I have waited for this bag for so long.

Totally understand you!!! My regular monogram canvas is very dull and faded and it feels papery? Your alignment looks great though, mine is off. I was hunting for this bag for so long and almost all of them comes with defects. I am so disappointed. I don’t know if I can still stalk that website so I am now considering keep in it. I don’t know what to do. On other side I want to return it, be done with LV and get Ysl Lou Lou. Totally worry free bag that goes with everything and is beautiful!

Oh I see. I prefer the more distinct print also.

My new Pochette Metis in Cherry Berry. When my SA brought out all 3 colors, this was the last color he pulled from the dust bags and my sister and I both gasped. The color is stunning in person!! Pics do not do it justice.

Funny story: the PM was never really on my radar because of the glazing issues it had for years. My husband does not understand my love of LV, or handbags for that matter. When I buy a new bag he usually says "Really, you need another bag?". Well, we were in Costco recently and we split up to search for something. I looked down an aisle and I saw him rounding the corner with the huge Costco cart at a speed that this guy normally never moves. He sees me as he's rounding the corner and motions for me to quickly follow him. Turns out he was chasing a lady carrying a PM and he wanted me to see it because he loved the bag. :biggrin: And it's definitely all LOVE for this bag!View attachment 4587540 View attachment 4587541 View attachment 4587542

Which PM color the lady was wearing at Costco? Did you saw the black in person as well? and still picked up the cherry berry? or do you have other black bags already?

Well the third reverse came today.
I don’t know if I’m being very picky on it or not. Slight misalignment on the front. The bottom is perfect. Slight scratches on the handle. The protective plastic was not on the clasp so assuming it was used.. I don’t know I feel like I have absolutely no luck with this bag. What does everyone else think? It was made 41st week.

I feel so lucky! I have been stalking the reverse PM Metis (also the monogram one) several times a day for two months now from the EU website and never seen them place in cart. Yesterday I took my two vintage bags to repair at our only local store in Finland (the second time I ever visited the store). I normally prefer ordering on-line, no store near my home. I thought that I'd try on the black Metis in empreinte while I am there just in case I never get the reverse one. Never thought they'd have the reverse monogram in store. But they did! The SA said it is very rare that they have that there. Made in France last week of August and it is perfect! The SA said that since nowadays there are no waiting lists for anybody at our local store, it means that if you visit the store on the right day, you might be lucky! This bag is soo beautiful and practical. I still can't believe this happened! View attachment 4549215View attachment 4549216

Have anyone had issues with the PM empreinte?

I’m having issues with mine right now. The clasp of the strap is rubbing against the leather and left a mark on both sides. It now has a dull patch :sad:. I’m also experiencing cracking on my glazing and I’m only being offered a repair to reglaze it at my expense so I’m just holding off for now.
