Maybe you know where can I buy it? In lv store or anywhere else?It’s not going to have an effect on the functionality of the back. Unfortunately the bottom of the lock is prone to scratching from opening and then lining up to close while wearing it on your shoulder. The only thing you can do is to purchase a plastic protector kit to cover the metal hardware so it doesn’t get worse.

Yeah.. but I thought you girls like experienced users can recommend me how I can use it more carefully)))
But everything happens!
Thank you
For my favorite I was recommended to purchase a phone screen protector. I cut it to fit and it worked out really nicely! I plan to do the same for the metis
There are places online like handbag haven that make stickers especially for the metis
Hi folks,
I literally joined this forum today and heard about this back yesterday from my wife. She has been eyeing it for a while and finally opened up to me about wanting to buy it. After researching last night I realized that this is definitely a bag to have, and a bag that will be difficult to buy. Call for availability just lead to blunt "This is highly coveted worldwide and we are sold out US/Canada". Resale apps showed little promise as they were selling somewhat damaged versions for the same MSRP.
My wife has never asked me for anything and seeing the sadness in her eyes immediately made this my #1 objective. I'm a Business technologist so I just leveraged my experience and determination and was able to buy one in less then 24 hours of hearing about it.
I'm writing this post because I've seen many of you struggle but I may have some tips.
-Obviously setup automated alerts, through LV but also through Browser plugins ie Shoptgr and such. My alert fired at 6am this morning but it was gone by the time I saw the msg (6:30am). But what it told me was that they are starting to restock. By the activity on some Metis forums I could also tell that they were last seen coming back online around August. Due to holidays around the corner it became obvious to me that they are starting to come back in the market. So it was only a matter of time and reaction speed on my part.
- SA's - Varying results in SA's over the phone, some are straight up rude but there are some diamonds in the rough. Don't give up, find someone willing to work with you and treat them with respect. After multiple SA's just flat turned me down or gave me 0 info, I found someone who went a little deeper and informed me that there are some stores showing a stock of 1 in various states. Get the SA's extension! I decided to call her back once stores opened so we could begin our hunt.
- When I called back other SA's tried to deter me by saying that my SA was misinformed and all these bags are on hold for clients. But with my background I knew that was a neverfull bag load of BS. They barely had enough time to check and come to that conclusion. I persisted and my SA with in 10 mins on the call was able to connect me to a store that had one in stock, was willing to ship complimentary, and I was able to make my purchase and get receipts in a matter of 15-20 mins.
-Also get on all Metis forums and set alerts on threads, many of you are watching these bags like hawks and drop alerts in here which are super helpful for anyone looking to still get theirs.
Voila!
Now I have a wife who literally can't stop smiling from ear to ear and my brownie points are through the roof. I expect to cash them all in tonight lol.
Hope this helps and best of luck to you all. And I'm sorry in-advance but I am not able to share my SA's extension, or the store that I purchased from. I have yet to receive my order and don't want to jeopardize my "pipeline"

Lovely story !!!! Génial voilà !!!
So so gorgeous, that colour is so chic on the lv empriente.
Bicolored is one of the most beautiful version of the Pochette Metis bags.
So excited to add this beauty to my collection
These bicolored light colour pms are so beautiful!!
The Hand Bag Haven sells clear plastic pieces that are pre cut to fit various bags. I replaced the plastic that came on my bags with these.
I purchased for my two Metis and my favorite. Some people love them and some people dislike them.
They’re hardly noticeable unless you look very closely but I prefer to see the plastic then to have the scratches.
For my favorite I was recommended to purchase a phone screen protector. I cut it to fit and it worked out really nicely! I plan to do the same for the metis
There are places online like handbag haven that make stickers especially for the metis
I can’t find handbag heaven online ;(
Maybe it works only in us
will use phone protector! Cool idea
The glazing on my reverse strap was peeling off, some sides it completely came off, the bag is fine. I avoided bringing it in store for a while because I know how difficult the bag is to obtain and feared they would take the whole bag away. They replaced the strap for me, surprisingly quite quickly actually, picked it up yesterday after a 3 week wait. My PM was from the first release though Dec 2016. Take it in see what they say, if they want to take the bag maybe ask if they can source you another one instead of the usual store credit? (I'm in Australia so a bit more scarce, hope that was helpful)
I have one on my Reverse - you can see it up close but not so much far away but I have no scratches on the actual hardware.
