Amazing the difference between seeing something online and actually seeing it and holding it. In New York for work this week, and soon as I was checked into the hotel I walked the half mile to the BV Madison Ave store. I'd wanted The Pouch, not the smaller Pouch 20. Then I saw and held them, and stood in front of the mirror holding them. Pouch 20 is such a better choice for me. And she had a blue metallic Pouch 20, which I don't see on the website. The metallic nappa leather felt nicer than I expected and looked like the online photos; didn't have one in the butter calf leather for me to feel. So I've now updated my TPF Wishlist from Pouch to Pouch 20.
While getting on the plane I saw a lady with a BV purse. Not sure which one, but it had the distinctive intreccio weave.

Are you still happy with your purchase? Obviously The Pouch cannot be used as an everyday, run your errands kind of a bag, but are you comfortable with carrying it around? I just purchased the large pouch in the Camello color but am on the wait list for a Nero Intrecciato - can't decide if I should keep it...
thanks!
I finally got the Pouch in a color I wanted, the bordeaux.
I am the first to admit to being caught up in a trend but I have to say I liked this bag the moment I saw it and had not imagined it would have become so popular, it being a pouch. I waited this long because to me this is more a Winter bag. I also loved the Celine one this seems to be derivative of, but that only sold one season and was in very short supply so never got my hands on one.
I love clutches and wear them all the time (also tend to wear bags with straps as clutches), so this is right up my alley. I have to say I find it extremely comfortable to wear but also such a pleasure to hold. It is roomy and practical and very beautiful. I think when the fad goes it will remain a classic and wearable bag but who knows. I have had friends who have no clue about Instagram trends and have never heard of this bag compliment it and praise its beauty. It is a brilliant reworking on a very classic and traditional bag shape. Very happy with it.

I am so glad that you are happy with your buy! The pouch truly is beautiful!
I have a question for you, any every one else that has bought it, or even just tried it on,
how on earth do you hold it in your hand without getting nail-marks in the leather?
I tried one in store a while ago, and don't you need to have extremely strong hands/fingers to hold it with your fingers straight without bending them inwards to grab the bag properly?
I was afraid that I would leave marks on the bag in store, and I don't even have long nails.
This is one of my two biggest hesitations about this bag (the other one being that it doesn't have a attachable strap) and I am so surprised that no one (that I have seen) have brought up this problem, so maybe it's just me?
This is how I needed to grab it, to not drop it after 30 seconds.
This is how I see models holding it in pictures? For how long can one hold a bag that heavy in this position without bending the fingers for a better grip?
Or do you all just tuck it under your arm?

I wear my nails very short, so don't have this problem.
I did notice the leather can dent very easily. The cord of the label left a mark in the leather that covers the metal tube piece. That said the leather is tensed there so more prone to marking.

Hi! I don't own this clutch, but I did try it on. For what it's worth, my own instinct was to pick it up and cradle it in my hand from underneath. I hold all my clutches this way, regardless of size or shape. Maybe that's just me. I'd be too afraid of dropping my clutch if I had to hold it clothespin-style, especially when it's weighed down by whatever I have inside it.
I did not see the modeling photos ahead of time, so I didn't have any particular suggestion on how it "should" be held when I tried it on. Those pouches in the modeling photos are probably empty, and the models aren't carrying them while walking or doing anything, so I take those photos with a grain of salt.
The pouch looks good on you!
Congrats on getting the bordeaux pouch! I love this color and would have gotten this one if I didn't already have a bordeaux purse in my collection already (the Céline box <-- #oldceline).
I also find this style extremely comfortable to wear, and like you, I've been wearing many of my bags that have straps like clutches so getting The Pouch and using it was pretty easy. Also, I find original size (the maxi, I think it's called) to perfectly hold my daily essentials (sunglass+case, glasses+case, wallet, keys, phone, small cosmetic pouch).

I don't have long nails either and don't seem to be scratching the bag at all when gripping it from my finger tips. I switch between holding the bag like this and holding it under my arm; it all depends on what I am doing (dropping kids off with their bags or going to the office) and what I am carrying with me at the moment. My daily routine is that I carry a heavy tote bag over my shoulders to work and I carry my kids' backpacks over my shoulders to their schools so as of late I've been carrying all my bags w/straps like a clutch or gripping in my hands.
I bought the pouch 20 in gold a couple of months ago in London and can’t believe the price has gone up here already by over 15%! Feel lucky to have literally stumbled upon it without too much trouble!
That’s great that you got one before a price increase! I just ordered two yesterday and cannot wait to try and see what fits inside. They are so cute! The gold is amazing!
