Yes. Repair was done last fall. So happy with how she turned out. Gifted to my 12-year-old after 20 years. Pretty certain it will last another 2 decades

That looks amazing! I have a preloved one but it's one of the older models with the shorter shoulder strap and I've been contemplating replacing all the vachetta on it. Too bad I think the strap alone now is like $120.View attachment 4970411View attachment 4970412

I think maybe wait until spring and they will be more available? It's not better, even though there's a price increase.I've been having such a hard time finding a DA one. Nearly impossible!
What's everyone's opinion on prices for the vintage version? I found one in great condition for $465. But is the NM that much better for $790? I know that people were able to get it for $200ish years ago and now I see them for $500-700 and DA is rarely available.
I've always wanted a PA but it's really hard to buy from boutique. So I purchased brand new one from an online seller last week!
The invoice from sender has product name ‘PO.ACC.NV NMG’. On Ebay and other consignment stores, I saw several other PAs that have product name ‘PO.ACC.NM NMG’.
Now I’m worried mine is a fake. Does anyone know if there are 'NV' product name is genuine??![]()
Maybe it means new in French “nouveau”?I ordered directly from the website and on the invoice it also says "PO.ACC.NV MNG." I tried looking up what NV means but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what this means?
Why not call CS and ask?I ordered directly from the website and on the invoice it also says "PO.ACC.NV MNG." I tried looking up what NV means but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what this means?
I was just going to ask the same thing. You can find older models in good condition for a decent price but is it better to just buy the new model.I've been having such a hard time finding a DA one. Nearly impossible!

I’ve had the PA (mono) for many years. It is the old model. I’ve always used it as a pouch inside bags and very occasionally as a wallet/clutch to run a quick errand or go out for a meal when i don’t feel like getting a handbag out. I don’t think it is a bag at all but that’s just me.I was just going to ask the same thing. You can find older models in good condition for a decent price but is it better to just buy the new model.
Yeah LV recently recategorized it as a handbag. When I first decided I wanted one of it at the beginning of 2020 it was in the SLG section of the website. By the end of the year it had been moved to the handbag section. So it is now officially a bag.I’ve had the PA (mono) for many years. It is the old model.

I think what’s happened is that the PA got so popular with so many people using it more as a clutch than for accessories that LV figured out adding a lining, an inner pocket and a long strap they could put the price up by a higher percentage compared to the added cost of production because people would categorise it as a bag and justify the extra expense this way.
If you find an old one in great condition for a good price my recommendation is to get it if you’re happy buying pre-loved.
I was planning to use mine inside of bigger bags. If I can find one in decent shape and a good price I will go pre-loved.I’ve had the PA (mono) for many years. It is the old model.

Happy hunting! The PA is a great piece. I use pretty much all the time.I was planning to use mine inside of bigger bags. If I can find one in decent shape and a good price I will go pre-loved.
