I have been eyeing a PM and decided that I would get one in Empreinte leather.
Among the current colours available, I was most attracted to Tourterelle. However, I would still prefer to have one in a more brown (rather than grey) undertones. I would like very much to get it in Papyrus colour, but i believe it's been long sold out already...

Anyone know what are the upcoming new colours release in Empreinte?

My PM in mono I just picked up from the store - after ordering online. So far it seems pretty good! Hoping I don’t run into any issues but glad to hear overall Lv is standing behind their products. Overall pretty happy with it and can’t wait to start using it! It’s made in the USA. Does anyone have one that’s made in the US? Any thoughts on how it’s holding up? I really wanted a made in France but it’s honestly seems like luck of the draw.
Yours looks perfect! Have you had any issues with it?
 
Just received my pochette metis in the rose poudre color and on the front flap part of the bag, I noticed the glazing is not smooth straight. Is this normal or a defect? I’ve attached pictures. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I think the excess glazing will ripple out over time. I had the same look with the glazing on a Prada tote, it just wasn't noticeable because it was black. It came off over time due to usage. It didn't look pretty but it was easy to get off. It is perfect now.
 
Hi all! I recently ordered two PM bags on the LV website. One MIU and the other MIItaly. The made in USA’s vachetta was scratched and it bothered me that it would not stand on its own. The MIItaly is the better one of the two. The difference is that MIItaly is brighter than MIU. They were both made in the 9th week of 2020. I will insert pictures. Let me know what you think. Thanks! 54DE5558-A1B6-4377-8BFB-5E5EB6854F36.jpeg

Interesting that two bags from same season/timeframe have different canvas brightness. I thought all the newer ones were the duller canvas as people have been mentioning, but apparently not! Glad you got a shiny one. Hope my reverse mono comes shiny!!

Yes that is why I posted on here because I have been reading that newer ones are more of a matte finish.
 
After dithering and obsessing for forever, I finally pulled the trigger on my PM after seeing it on someone else and being reminded of how gorgeous it is in person. Just arrived today after ordering online in the US. Made in France, 12th week of this year, brand spanking new ! I wanted a lightweight, easy to use, goes with everything, everyday crossbody that can dress up my simple style. I think this is it ! I thought the Celine box bag would do it but the shoulder strap is so awkward and uncomfortable, and it really doesn't fit much. The PM has the same profile but fits much more and is much more comfortable to wear.
Only two tiniest nitpicks. I do wish the front flowers on the flap were a little higher and didn't have stitching running through them. And i do think I got one with a more matte canvas, it's a bit more dull in real life than in photos. It would have been nice to be brighter but it's a subtle difference and I'm not too worried about either of these nitpicks.
Photo of my collection....all acquired in the last 14 months or so....I'm developing an obsession and need to stop !!
