I’m slightly annoyed because she was happy with her purchase until your comment. I think the change in canvas has been discussed for this piece.
I agree. The dull canvas is just a different batch. Not a defect. Mine is dull, I'm fine with it and never considered it a problem. Just be happy you were able to snag a PM!
 
Hi all! I recently got my hands on the Pochette Metis after stalking the website for days. However after receiving I see a couple flaws but what most bothers me is the vachetta on the lock does not look evenly aligned on top of each other. Should I return it?
Sorry...I really can’t see it. It looks good, slight misalignment doesn’t bother me, but it’s just me! If you don’t like it, exchange it.
 
WARNING - LOOOOONG POST! Following last several pages on this board...yesterday I received a Mono PM NV from the 7th week of 2020, MIU. Ordered online from LV (try looking at 10pm CT, have found both mono and reverse readily available for like 5-10 min at that time over the last two weeks - just took me awhile to pull the trigger). This my third one - first one from summer 2017 when canvas was thicker but strap was painfully stiff, 2nd from early 2019 when canvas was super thin and squishy and thought it looked/felt cheap when not 100% stuffed - and now this one which people are deeming matte and faded. The sides are well formed and the flap has a nice roundness to it. The strap is so nice and comfy. The mono print is def lighter in color then my early 2019 Mono Neonoe and 4 yo 6 ring key holder, but I love it regardless. And yes, the top flap underneath extends well into the flat, back pocket. I think that has been done to increase stability along the back flap to decrease glazing issues when opened/closed. I started to second guess my purchase after reading this forum, but then realized I'm really, really happy with it - so I'm keeping it and going to love it for a very, very, very long time. No regrets because this bag - with all its functionality and versatility - is a game changer and a must have...thank you @Winter'sJoy and @TangerineKandy for your comments above!

I think the second pic shows the variance in the saturation of the mono print a bit better. nothing terrible but def a more muted yellow on the mono logos.
