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