I can't decide on which PM color to get and need help and opinions! It's between the mono, reverse mono and the new tourerelle color. I bought the new taupe color but have since spent days reconsidering. Help!

Hi,
I understand you. I have always wanted the PM reverse and already saved up to buy the black leather version although I really wanted only the reverse. When I surprisingly got the opportunity to buy a monogram PM I jumped at it and I did not regret it one second and I don't wanna miss it! Its great- even if it was never on my wishlist in that print... But.... there is always a but
I still want the reverse and I am going to buy it as soon as I get the chance... 
what I want to say: if you still look at the canvas version although you are having an empreinte PM - go for it! If you can afford both, than use yours and wait until you find a canvas one. If not, return and get what you really want! 
There might be a chance I eventually get the empreinte , too..
Haha. That's a lot of PM's. One day I like the tourerelle color and one day I'm not sure! I'm still in the return window that's why I wanted to see what others thoughts were about that color. There's lots of other styles out there, so I'd probably only get one of them. But who knows maybe I'll splurge for 2. Thanks for responding!Hi,

Which one do you want the most?
I would get the one you want the most and don’t settle for another option . I waited as I really wanted the reverse. It took a very long time but I got it in December and Im so glad that I waited for the right print . By the sounds of it you don’t sound convince on the one you purchased IMO. Good luck deciding x
Yes, you're right. I'm not totally convinced about the one I bought. I have a bunch of monogram bags so I thought I should get something different.
i also bought online for my PM. Im hoping to have it soon. I placed an order january 2 and till now its not here yet. Aw poor thing. Im from toronto.
My favorite colors for PM is monogram and empreinte in creme. I am waiting until spring in hopes they will bring back creme. I don’t like taupe and reverse. I purchased reversed twice and returned them because this color doesn’t look great with my outfits. I only have regular mono and maybe will add empreinte in creme later. If you don’t like yours I would return it. You should be happy when you wear it.
I’m kind of in the same boat. I bought the Reverse online and when it came it was in perfect condition (I’ve had to return a few from online when they arrived due to issues with the glazing or such) but then that Tourterelle color came out and I was torn, however I will tell you I think I decided to keep my Reverse and get the taupe colored Coach Cassie that is coming out next month. I’m hoping it’s a very similar shade. Good luck deciding.
I’m assuming because they know it’s an acknowledged design flaw and wouldn’t be worth the effort to reglaze the entire bag. I think the way the glazing was coming up and that particular spot on the flap is the kiss of death. If you go back a few pages in this thread you’ll see the pictures I posted of the glazing separating on the curve part of the flap. My bag was an Aug 2018 date code and in excellent condition otherwise with minimal wear.
Incidentally, my friend had the same issue start with her PM...it’s a 2017 date code..the threads were all starting to come up on the flap around the glazing. She took it to one boutique who offered her an exchange on the spot...she didn’t take it as she was on her lunch break and said she’d come back. A few days later she went to another boutique to exchange and they declined it saying it can be repaired. She showed them my picture and tried to argue that glazing separating was the next step but that boutique manager said that in my case, the canvas was starting to crack and that cannot be repaired in anyway.
IDK...I’m just glad to have gotten another bag. I love the PM but the hassles and fear weren’t worth it. The Coach Cassie is basically the same bag with much less worries.

And 7 times cheaper! I wish they have more colors available.
Ouch.
When did you get your bag? Sorry, I have no idea if LV would do anything about this.
I won't buy Pochette Metis from online again. They really seem to lack quality control. It came from warehouse in Ontario, CA and the orange box was too small for the bag so the flap has issues. I am returning it and hoping to find one in store some day. Sigh......
