When did you bought it? I’m so sad!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. 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.
I picked up the reverse and here’s pics with my mono one. Anything you guys notice that I should worry about?

How is it? Are you happy with it? Mine is supposed to be delivered today, but, unfortunately, nobody would be home to sign for it.
I think it has good symmetry and it is more structured than some pochette metis i’ve seen...i decided to keep it for these reasons and the fact that it is really hard to get your hands on one these days.
Let me know where the bag you get was made!
I think yours, look great! Alignment is perfect, lock is not crooked, no issues with glazing!!! She should be a keeper. I actually made a list of things to check every time am getting PM. (Glazing, cracking canvas,straight lock, protective stickers in place, inside pockets should be straight, indentation in the leather tabs, check glazing in the strap)
I think I will return mine PM reverse. I already have monogram that I love and I am too scared to wear it in Chicago weather. I think I will go for PM empreinte in creme or YSL loulou. I really need worry free bag.
Oh wow! Mine has the protective stickers, but haven’t checked all the things you mentioned in the list, checked most of them though.
how about the twist bag for a worry free bag? I wanted a noir PM empreinte but heard about these issues and was thinking about the twist. It may be good for Chicago weather as well.
I double checked and yes, the receipt and sticker has that model number.
My monogram has the other number but was purchased this last June.
Mine was made in the US too. Its stamp is SD 4119. But I love it. I think it's perfect!
Cool! I actuslly have read that the wuality if bags made in the US is just as good or even better than the ones made in france, what do you think about this?
I will chime in. I don’t have tons of bags but for example my PM mono is made in USA, while the side stitching of the little leather that holds the hook for the strap looks like a new employee made it, lol, it doesn’t affect the bag or it’s sturdiness. I love the rest of the bag.
Recently I found a PM in store made in Italy. Strap smelled awful it was sent to replace. The rest of the bag smelled a bit but comparing w all my other bags I never smelled that before. It looked like someone used it and they cleaned it? Ewww back it went.
My recent PM reverse is made in USA. I’m scared because of all the dullness/cracking issues it so far it looks good.
I do have two neverfulls made in USA both good but the pochette of the ebene was sent to reglaze. Also a boite chapeau souple made in France which looks perfect. Onthego made in France looks perfect. (It was exchanged from a made in USA that had an issue inside, the red lining was pinched)
Delightful mm and other bags made in USA good as well no issues so far.
zippy coin purse vivienne balloon Christmas... made in France and has one of the sides wavy! I’m waiting to see if they receive another to exchange it. But for now is in the box without being used
