I got a Marignan too! In sesame. I wasn’t interested in it at all, but it’s gorgeous in person. In their pics I found the lock to be gawdy but it’s definitely not. I co-sign the strap (which is green on the backside which I LOVE) being too small. I actually tried it on with a thicker strap that I plan to get, but the small is fine for now since it’s sweater/coat weather.

That being said it does hold more than a pochette metis but I would NOT put more than what would fit in a PM because of the strap situation. Unless the excess was bulky but light, like a scarf and/or gloves. Neither the strap nor the top handle feel like they should bear substantial weight. My iPad Pro fit beautifully inside but made it too heavy. I don’t see this as a huge con because I don’t mind that I can’t overpack it. I do wish the inside were darker.

I had been debating my next LV bag for a while and wanted a crossbody bag, but was stuck between a speedy bandouliere 25 or pochette metis. While on vacation in Japan this Christmas/New Year, I didn't see either on display in any of the LV stores I visited (mostly window-shopped). I didn't really think much of it because neither was a "must-have" that I needed right away; I had just wanted to see them in person.

But on one of my last days in Japan, I wandered into another LV store (seriously there are so many in Tokyo alone!) and decided to ask one of the SAs if they had either one. At first she said that she wasn't sure if they had any in the store, but then promised to check for me. A few minutes later, she came back to show me the PM in Marine Rouge and I kind of just had to have it. XD (not pictured, but my mom also decided to spontaneously buy the Lorette for herself and a Pallas clutch in cherry for my grandma, haha).

I honestly did not understand the appeal of a PM until I held one in my hands and tried it on. It is so comfortable and I love the way it lays against your body. Plus it carries so much and the empreinte leather is just the right amount of subtle. The marine rouge was definitely my first choice in color when it came down to it... I guess it was just meant to be! The embossing on this one is perfect too. :smile:

I made sure to ask if she could do it with the holiday packaging because it is gorgeous. *___*

I cannot believe how gorgeous this is! The colors are amazing!! Congratulations:) I only have mono items so is the leather really firm or soft and buttery? Thanks! I would love a black one .

Went to my local LV to get the 6 key empreinte in Noir and asked if there was a Sienna MM available as I wanted to gage the size for future purchase. Ended up leaving with both the 6 key AND the Sienna. Thank goodness they didn't have the Victorine in DE available. :)
 
Picked up the card case from the Volez, Voguez, Voyagez and a few days latter grabbed the 6 Key Holder. Using the card case to hold my earphones and another cable and works out pretty well since I don't need a card holder. LOVE the 6 key holder! Fits my home, school, and and car keys perfectly, plus my student ID. I was worried my Mini Cooper key wouldn't fit inside but it fits perfectly. Pictured on top of some yarn I bought myself for my birthday from Madelinetosh. If anyone is on Ravelry, the pattern is called Tegna and it's a super fun knit. I had such a hard time getting gauge though but I'm slowly making progress :sad: Okay, enough knitting talk, onto the LV!

WOW Marignan is BEAUTIFUL!!! But why isn't the handle on the noir one black!!!!!!!!??????? That will make the bag super. I would buy it in a heartbeat if the handle is black! Now because its vachetta I have to think about it... It just doesn't look right.

I knoooooooow!!!! It’s why it didn’t pique my interest when I saw it online. When they pulled it out at the store I said NOPE so fast. lol. I was there to drop a bag off for repair so I wasn’t even pressed about it. Then I spotted the sesame up on a high shelf and was like “bring her to me!” and the rest is history.
