I have fallen in love with the PM. I recently purchase it in black empriente and am considering another. Can’t decide between the reverse monogram or cream empriente. I know color transfer is a concern with the cream but I think it is beautiful. But I’m drawn to the reverse also. Would love to hear your thoughts on either or both bags.
Which Pochette Métis?

Sorry I can’t help as I do not own a PM. I am considering the Empreinte in Noir. Sounds like you love it. Do you find it heavy?
I will add that I am also drawn to the reverse. Cream would make me nervous. I already struggle with using my DA piece.

I have the reverse and mono and love them both. My vote is for the reverse PM, I could be so concerned carrying a creme bag.
I have reverse and love it. I had the cream and sold it. I was too worried about color transfer. Bags should be fun, not stressful!!
I have the empreinte in noir and the reverse. I love them both, but really love the reverse. I think it's style preference. I think my reverse is a bit more casual and my empreinte is more dressy and formal. I also heard they were discontinuing the reverse so I wanted to get it new while I still could. I am not sure if those rumors are true, but I didn't want to get it pre-owned.
I don’t feel that the bag is heavy. I love it
I suggest the tourterelle. Beautiful color, no color transfer.
I'm not a fan of reverse mono + the bag had quality issues (I don't know if it's better now)

I have sold the Reverse and have bought the Empreinte noir. The Reverse was too "loud" for me and not easy to combine. The two tone Monogramm is a "restless" (?) pattern for me.
I would prefer an Empreinte PM in a different color. But that's just me, I like more classic styles on bags. I have had the PM in marine-rouge and in tourterelle too, but unfortunately I have sold them a few years ago.

I don't think you can go wrong. The noir and reverse will definitely be more carefree. If you are wanting a cream bag, I would recommend getting one you shoulder carry, that way there is less concern of color transfer, especially if you wear dark jeans.
I have 3 PM and I wouldn't hesitate to get another. Hands down it's my most favorite bag ever! I generally use the reverse in the fall or spring, noir fall/winter and mono spring/summer. I've never felt it was too heavy and all of the straps are comfortable.

I have the reverse and it’s the most practical bag ever! If you wear a lot of fall colours and earthy tones it goes really well. Imo the shape of the PM isn’t super formal anyway, it reads more day bag / dinner with friends than black tie; so for me the reverse is essentially indispensable (I wear it all the time).
I am not a fan of the PM in cream, personally, I feel like the shape doesn’t work with the colour somehow. If you don’t want the reverse I’d go for the tourterelle.

I have the noir empreinte PM and would love another one in cream. If you like it, then get it, you can always spray it so you won’t get a colour transfer. I think PM looks better in leather.
I owned the monogram for a few months and it just doesn't work for me. I think it would look better in your closet
