I definitely will! That's so funny--you're the second person to ask me that lately. Since it might be a little while, my basic thoughts are that I love it, I get compliments on it, but I don't use it as much as other bags because I worry about the vachetta (I never carry it when I'm with my kids, for example) and it doesn't always hold as much as I want to carry. I have a work phone and a personal phone, which is part of the problem. I'll do a more in depth review as soon as I can though!
It’s now 2 years later after your video and this bag is still a hot and hard to find item. I got lucky and my SA had a last one when I went to the boutique yesterday. I knew I had to have it no matter how much it cost. I hope you kept yours!
I had the original one from late 2013 ( it was recalled) with the extra internal pocket and I loved that bag. You’re going to love this bag, please keep it! I miss my PM baby.
Let's Get Luxe Would you want to sell this bag? I recently went to Paris and was in search of this bag and can’t find it anywhere. I am from the Paradise Camp Fire and am looking to replace mine that I lost.
I'm so glad you're loving yours! The reverse Mono is so unique--that's a keeper. I still have my Monogram PM but still haven't used it, even after all this time! I need to do something about the Vachetta leather--either treat it or get a bandeau to wrap around it. Thank you for watching!!
Hi. I just picked up my Pochette Metis reverse monogram. I've been on the fence about this bag but now that I have it I think it's a keeper. Anyway, looking at the RealReal site, I saw that these are selling at a premium.
Bought this preloved & it’s such a beauty! Very functional, stylish & carefree. I absolutely love it & it’s so rewarding to finally acquire it after such a long hunt! Congrats!
Keep it! It sounds like you love it. My experience is I bought the monogram pochette metis a few years back sold it, no issues just was not into small bags plus I did not love the strap. Now I have fallen back in love with it and have 3 in my collection. Empreinte Noir, Empreinte Rose Bruyere and the Reverse Monogram. If I had to sell all my bags and only keep one it would be the Pochette Empreinte in Noir. That is how much I love the bag now. Fits everything I carry on a day to day basis, love the crossbody and the handle easy to get out of the car with the handle. Lays flat against the body and is gorgeous. Really enjoyed your video enjoy your new bag.
Oh my gosh, you are so lucky! I absolutely love all of the PMs you have in your collection. If I were ever lucky enough to get another one, it would either be the Empreinte Noir or the nude color that I included as a snippet in the video. I think the Noir is stunning with the gold hardware contrasted with the black leather. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate the input as I decide what I'm going to do with this beauty.
Literally I had the same experience with this! I didn’t intend to buy it for keeps but then I found it in the store and 😍😍😍 this video makes me feel better!!
I wanted this bag so bad like you said it was hard to get I did get my hands on one I currently have 27 Louis Vuitton bags 2 Chanel lambskin and I tell you what as much as I want this bag I never use it are used a few times I packed it really late and then one day I packed it with a full wallet And other things and for some reason I think it lost its shape as much as I packed it I don’t know if it’s me but it just doesn’t look right in the shape anymore from that one time packing it too much now I really don’t want to use it I actually took it out today and used it and then I said let me look at some videos for wear and tear and then I came across your video even though it’s not where tear it’s probably an old video I’m watching but could you let me know if you come across this how yours is holding up I mean Of course it’s still a beautiful bag I just think I stretched it out that day
As a mom with kids, do you find that this is a practical bag? What are your thoughts on this bag compared to the Speedy B 25 Damier Ebene. I am choosing between the pochette Métis and this speedy b 25 ebene. I have kids and can’t figure out the best bag for me. I have a Neverfull already that I love.
We are the same! I love them both in terms of style. If I’m going out without my kids, the Pochette Métis is a natural choice and I adore how it looks. I think I probably get complimented more on that one. But I never grab the Pochette Métis when I have my kids because I worry about the chaos and the vachetta leather. I use my Damier Ebene Neverfull and Speedy B without worry. If you’re able to see them in store that would help because people have issues with each bag’s opening for different reasons. Specifically, the PM is hard to close if the bag isn’t full and is hard to close one-handed, while the Speedy 25 opening feels too small for some.
Thank you so much! I love them both!! Haha! I will start with the speedy b 25 for everyday use with my kids. I love that it has the top handle option for date nights. PM is definitely on my wish list for a chic outing without kids 🤩
Once a Louis lover always a Louis lover! Congrats on the gorgeous bag! I have been on the (very short) waitlist in Denver and am picking mine up tomorrow!!!!
Definitely keep her! I have her & she is my most carried bag! My neverfull, speedy, & favorite mm ate all jealous of her because she is my most used bag! I beliece she has already become a classic for LV! Congrats on having her in your collection!
Haha! I hadn't heard that the NF, Speedy, and Favorite are the jealous types. I'm so glad you are enjoying your PM! Thanks for letting me know that out of all those beautiful bags you're using the PM the most. That argues in favor of my keeping her for sure. All the bags you mentioned are on my must have list. Have a glorious day!
This is a beautiful bag and I hope to buy one. I just purchased the speedy 25 and I love it . The Pochette Metis will be my next bag. Enjoy your bag and please post again after using it.
I'm so glad you love your speedy 25! I've been looking at the Speedy B 25 in Damier Ebene, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I hope you get your Pochette Metis quickly and easily! I haven't used mine yet, but will definitely do a "what's in my bag" once I get going with it. Thank you so much for watching!!
I was stalking the LV website one day randomly and the Pochette Metis was available in Reverse Mono!! I almost fell over and had to purchase. It came in the mail and it's love at first sight :)
I hope you decided to keep it because it’s a beautiful bag. I use mine on weekends and anytime I’m off (I use a Speedy 35 during the week because I need something bigger for work). I have had no issues with this bag. It’s the latest generation, so I believe they’ve worked out the previous issues. It’s a stunning bag.
I'm so glad you're loving yours! And that's great that you're not having issues with it. It's nice that LV did what it could to address the problems. I did keep it but haven't used it yet.
Thank you so much!! If you are definitely looking and interested in getting one, I might be able to help. I seem to have good luck finding these in store and I'm headed later today to a LV. Let me know! :)
Hurray!! Hope you’re loving your PM! Thanks for such an informative and helpful video. I just wanted to ask you something about the Pochette Metis. I recently managed to purchase one in London UK, when I got it home I noticed that through the lining in the front pocket I could feel the back of lock... the plate part. Is this normal? I just feel that LV should have added an extra layer over the back of the lock or made the lining thicker to prevent thining of the lining with wear, particularly when putting things in and pulling things out of the bag, it will rub on that area. The problem with this this model of bag is it’s so hard to obtain, I never have the chance to compare two in the store (bc they never have two in one go!). If you CAN feel the back of the lock through the lining then I will feel reassured that I know it’s not just mine. Thanks.
I'm a new subscriber 😊 hello from Canada! congratulations on your new purchase!! Love love the Pochette Metis!! I've been stalking it forever!! You made a great choice to keep! Enjoy your bag!!
Welcome!!! I'm thrilled you are part of my RUclips family! Thank you for the congrats and for watching! I have definitely noticed, at least here in the States, that the Pochette Metis is getting into stores (and into customers' hands) a lot faster lately. When I was in LV the other day, someone was picking up her order and had only had to wait 2 weeks to get it. I hope that's the case for you as well! Good luck!!
I also just bought this bag and was lucky to find one. I have seen this bag being sold for more than I paid for it and it is used! That’s why I got it. Because I know that I could turnaround the next day and sell it for more. So you NEED to keep it. When I was watching your video - it reminded me of myself. That’s how I feel every time I see it in my closet. Congrats to you! Btw I’m also new to the luxury world :)
I fell in love with his bag a couple weeks ago and had looked for it when I was in USA but no luck and then happen to call in my local store in Canada and they said they had extremely limited stock so I rushed over and I got the last one :-) the same monogram as this one they were sold out of the reverse… I instantly fell in love with this bag:)
That is AWESOME! Congrats on your good luck! I hope you've been using and loving it. I asked my SA last week if it's still really popular, and she said it definitely is.
My SA was able to get me a reverse one so I exchanged it And I am sooo happy ... it is still sold out all Canada and US ... only way lately is to have an SA txt u and hold it, so crazy this bag is such a hot commodity:) I love the reverse and the bag was literally made 2 weeks ago and I already have it! That’s my crazy PM journey lol - things we do for purses :)
Keep it. I just got mine after waiting for it for months. I sure hope I don't have any glazing issues. But I'm glad LV will take care of it should anything happen. But I have to say that I was a little disappointed that mine was made in USA. I was hoping for made in France. Where is yours made?
Congratulations on your new bag!!! Are you loving it? Mine was also made in the USA. I think my Neverfull was, too. Since I'm so new to this, I hadn't realized that I should look into the pros/cons of buying items made in certain countries. For example, will this impact the resale value? But honestly, as long as the quality is the same, I don't really mind. Especially my Neverfull--I will keep that forever just because of the sentimental value. Enjoy your Pochette Metis!
Let's Get Luxe the country of origin will not impact the resale value at all. But when I think of LV I guess I expect to see made in France lol. I guess that's my little OCD. Nonetheless it's a great bag and even if LV discontinues making it one day it's still a classic looking bag that can be enjoyed for many many years. It will never look out of style. Glad u got it. It's ok to be spontaneous once in a while. 😁
Oh good!! I figured they must have some sort of quality control in place to make sure the bag holds up no matter where it's made. Thank you so much for the words of reassurance!
This cannot be your 2nd video, u sound so professional😃😃😃 congrats on your purchase(s), they're gorgeous! I'm also new to lux purchases, slowly but surely and really really having a hard time stopping myself from it 😂😂😂 also i always "justify" my purchase with celebrating an important milestone so the purchase feels more special. Have a great week ahead!
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words!! They really mean a lot. I am in the same boat as you--I had no idea how addicting the luxe world was going to be. I look forward to special occasions even more now than before! I hope you're having a great weekend!
what was the vintage bag your husband gave you from your Aunt? I have a older speedy mono 35 from 2007 first bag, and now my beautiful neverfull and still awaiting my ups delivery of my Speedy b30 damier ebene. Praying for good weather on Monday I love the Pochette Metis now another to add to my wish list ....
I honestly don't remember what the bag was--it wasn't anything popular or common. I think it must be something that was discontinued. I will cross my fingers for good weather on Monday! Isn't the anticipation delicious, though? I would be so excited if I had an LV coming in the mail. I'd be sitting on the doorstep all day!
I have to work unless the weather is bad but I have my husband home he works second shift so he sleeps late in the morning I told him he needs to answer the door no matter what. LOL
I This one is so pretty! I have it in empreinte noir. But i want monogram one too, love the strap ! Cuz it s so pretty and can be matched with favorite mm!
This is my favorite bag I own! I used Apple guard and it worked perfectly. My S-lock is a little scratched but that’s inevitable. My canvas/glazing is doing fine. I hunted for this bag for months. I bought mine Sept 2018! Congrats on your find!
Congrats on your find, as well! I am SO glad the Apple Guard is working well. I know I said that in my video, but I actually was doubting myself so haven't applied yet. It really helps to know that people are having a good experience with it. THANK YOU for sharing that info!!
Congrats ❤️ I just got my pochette metis last week. I used to like LV in college, then kinda experimenting with other brands for the last 10years. Until I watch Shea Whitney and Jerusha s video last year, my lv frenzy has been unstoppable. Enjoy your beautiful neverfull and metis, dear
I might be able to get it for you from one of the stores I frequent. I've found it for two other subscribers. Have you bought anything from LV in the past 12 months?
You are adorable! Yes, it's ok to have something so beautiful spoil a plan 😂 It is such a beautiful and practical bag. I have it and love it! New subie, keep up the great work, love your vibrant personality and you have gorgeous hair! 💕
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment!! I'm so glad to hear you have the Pochette Metis and love it! I didn't end up selling it, but I still haven't used it because I'm worried about the Vachetta. It's been raining in L.A. a lot. But I'm excited to wear it once the weather gets safe. Thank you for watching, subscribing, and being wonderfully thoughtful!!!
What luck! Definitely keep and enjoy. I’m starting my “collection” of luxury as well and I’m grappling with the same question your friend probably had which is to keep sitting on the money saved for the PM or go ahead and buy something I can enjoy now? Oy!
It's so cute, keep it! I was initially worried about the leather too with my monogram and damier azure bags but the leather patina's so beautifully. Loved your video, you have such a fun personality. Cheers!
I appreciate you letting me know about your experience. I'm so torn about how to handle the Vachetta, but I think I just have to relax about it. If I'm going to be adding LV bags to my collection, I'm going to have to embrace the Vachetta and all that comes with it! Thank you for your kind comment at the end there!!
Thank you so much for subscribing!! I really appreciate it! I actually live in Los Angeles, but pretty much all my LV adventures will take place (and will be filmed) in DC. You are so lucky to live close to that store. What a gem. Thank you SO much for watching!!
Let's Get Luxe oh awesome!!!! I used to live in LA too. Lol. I lived in an apt building on Sunset and Martel. Haha. But I’m so glad you love the DC store. There are so many great stores in that little center. I would go nuts and spend all my money in one day. Hahahahaha. That’s why I try to only go every now and then. Anyway, love your videos Jamie! You’re a cool lady! 😊❤️
Keep it!! That happened to me last summer. I recently got my first LV Neverfull and was purchasing my 6 ring key holder and asked about the PM. I put my name on the long waiting list but also put my cc number on file. Of course, 1 week later-it came in and I was the only one that put a cc on file!! I love it!! Best decision ever!! ❤️👜
That is amazing!! I'm so glad you had such great luck, and that you are happy with how it turned out. It's also pretty funny that we have the exact same three items in mind. I started with my LV NF, ended up with the PM, and tried to get a 6 key holder, but the only one they had in stock was the graphite. You have excellent taste! ;-)
Keep! Love your videos. I just bought my first LV bag and wallet last month right before the price increase! What an experience. I bought the speedy 30 in monogram and the Emily wallet. I plan on getting more pieces later. Love the Pochette Metis bag. Down the line I also want to get a small cross body bag. And no, I don"t think you"re crazy because than I'd be crazy too! Lol!
Love the video. I am also beginning my collection and this is on my list. I wanted an everyday bag. I am debating on purchasing the empreinte noir or continue to wait for the monogram......the waiting list is over 1000...yikes!!!!
Congrats on starting your collection, too! Isn't it so fun? You can't go wrong with either PM. They are both gorgeous! The LV by my house is starting to get more and more PMs. The SA said that people who are ordering them there can pick them up in 2 weeks. I think it varies a lot by store. I hope you enjoy whichever one you decide to buy!
I have this in the empreinte and have been toying with selling. My heart tells me to keep it because it's so unique in terms of style and internal organization. There's nothing like it out there right now!
That's so interesting that your heart tells you to keep it but you're still toying with selling. Have you been reaching for it? Is the color something that you can wear with a lot of different things? I think the empreinte is stunning. Particularly the way the hardware stands out against the darker colored versions. Love, love, love. Thank you for watching!
I've been carrying it exclusively since I got it. It's the empreinte noir, which suits my personal style and goes with everything. There are no other bags out there with the same pocket layout. I think it's just a matter of allowing myself to enjoy a luxury item. I asked my fiance what he thought and he said I should definitely keep it, so that's the plan!
The noir on that bag is my favorite!! I'm so glad you're using it and keeping it! It is absolutely stunning and I hope it brings you happiness for many years to come! If I ever get an empreinte version of the PM, it will be the noir.
I think it was meant to be that you stumbled upon it! I found mine recently in Vegas and 2 days later got a text that the store I had been on the waitlist for had gotten one in and it was on hold for me 🤭.
Congratulations on getting yours!!! Are you loving it? I think they're coming in a lot faster than before, which is great. People won't have to wait so long.
I love it! You mentioned the strap, and it is awesome, I use a Pochette accessoires at work to carry my phones and other necessities when I have no pockets, and out of my 3 LV straps from different bags (I also have a treated leather from my ebene speedy b and a vachette from my turenne) it is the most comfortable and versatile.
That is awesome! That's so funny--I really want the Pochette Accessoires for the same reason. I had been considering it in DE, but they discontinued it in that print. So Monogram is looking like what I'll be getting, and I would be much more likely to use it with the canvas strap.
I love the PM i own one in monogram canvas and I LOVE IT, i also was a neverfull kind of girl, but the PM is everything !! When i use it cost me a lot change my bag, i had a peelling glazing issue but they solve, send it to repair, and the time when it was on repair, i missed my bag so much, is so practical, easy bag !! Congrats for sure is a keep !!
I'm so glad LV fixed the issues you were having with the bag, and that you enjoy yours!! It sounds like we have the same taste, given that you also appreciate the Neverfull. I'm all about easy bags, so I love that you say the PM is easy. Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!
Congrats on your Pochette Metis. I got mine about 2 years ago and it has quickly become my most favorite LV bag. My bag was made after LV made changes to the canvas and I'm so happy I never experienced any of the cons you mentioned. I had the protective blue plastic on the S-lock and it just fell off about 2 months ago and so far, no scratches. Keep it and Enjoy it. I live in the Washington, DC area and I've only seen 1 other person wearing this bag and that was so surprising to me because it is the rave on social media. I think it is well on its way to becoming a classic. I brought my first LV in '88 and absolutely love the fashion house. The other bags you mentioned, speedy and alma will always be around and they are easy to find. Just my two cents. :)
Cherell Vuitton I really do think I’m going to keep it. Everyone who has written me about who owns it says it’s their favorite bag. That speaks volumes. It’s funny what you say about the protective slip on the s lock. I was just asking someone if I could leave it on or if people would be able to tell it was there. Great minds think alike! Thank you again for watching!!
I got the Metis a year ago and don't even used it often but had the glazing issued. I took it to the LV store and the SA gave me a bogus excuse saying that it's normal. I ended selling the bag. I got it when it was only 1700$ and now with the price increased; I don't think it's worth it. Might as well get the leather one so it wouldn't have issue.
Oh no!! I'm so sorry you not only had issues, but also LV didn't take care of it to your satisfaction. I do NOT like hearing about that! At least you got it when it was $1700. Hopefully that helped with recouping during resale.
Let's Get Luxe I sold it back to a friend of a friend for 1500$. I didn’t use the bag much and it was still in excellent condition. But i was able to enjoyed it for a year 😀
Just like you. My wish list didn't included the Metis. It was supposed to be the Speedy 25 Bandouliere. But then I was looking into the Metis for my cousin. Lucking me, after three week, I call the LV customers service. They said Natick MA have 2 of it and if I want to place it on hold. With my love of LV. I said yes to hold both. I fell in love with it, with the first look and wear. My cousin thought it was to small for her body size. I love it, and I think it would be the classic. Keep it. You won't regret it. You could wear it casual and take out the strap and just hand hold it. Either how you wear it. It a great bag.
How wonderful that you discovered a love for the PM like me! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Congratulations on finding TWO in store. That's incredibly lucky.
I am a new subscriber and I think you should definitely keep this beautiful bag!❤️ I just got my Pochette Métis from my husband for Valentine's Day and I l❤️VE her!! I think it's definitely going to be a classic for the fashion house. I see how many people have it and love it, and it stays sold out or there's always a waiting list for this bag at most LV stores across the globe!!😉 I love the design of this beauty and I can fit so much inside.. And just like what you said,I am looking forward to seeing the vachetta turn the gorgeous honey color later on but for now I am trying to keep her light as long as possible so I got a bandeau to tie on her handle and to dress her up or give her a different style!🎀 I think you are going to be so happy that you kept this beauty. I hope you will enjoy your new baby as much as I am loving mine! I really like your videos and I'm glad I found your channel!! 😘
Congratulations on your Pochette Metis!! What a thoughtful husband!! That's so interesting that you bring up the bandeau. I was just thinking about getting one for that exact reason, but then I was wondering if the top handle would darken at a different rate as the other pieces of Vachetta, since the other pieces wouldn't be protected by the bandeau. I can't decide if I care about that or not. Have you had that happen on yours?
Let's Get Luxe I haven't had that happen yet but I just got my bandeau a few days ago. I take the bandeau off when I get home that way all of the vachetta stays exposed to the same elements when she's just sitting out and she's not in her dustbag. I got the Stephen Sprouse leopard bandeau and I watched a lot of RUclips videos on how to tie a bandeau or twilly on a Pochette Métis,just type that in the RUclips search bar and there's tons of videos, I have mine wrapped around the handle all the way across so the vachetta is covered and I left enough slack on each end where it hangs down just enough to see where the bandeau says Louis Vuitton and it covers the vachetta tabs on each side of the bag so the only piece I have to worry about is the tab on the front of the bag but so far so good!😉 I try to just keep it out of sunlight when I am outside but I think as long as I keep the bandeau off inside the house,it should patina at the same rate,at least that's what I am hoping!!😍 I hope this makes sense,sorry to leave such a long reply, I just wanted to try and explain how I am using the bandeau so that I don't end up with uneven patina!🙈Have a great day!❤️
Here we go, as I predicted the other day! Ha! Enjoy, it's great. I am almost 70, never liked the classic speedy, too bulky, but I have 2 Alma bags. I have the PM In Damier Ebene and the BB in Epi a Noir. Just follow your heart, but I would get A Favorite MM in a pattern. I adore mine and the endless versatility.
I fell far fast!!! It's so true. :) I love the Alma. I'm actually thinking about moving that closer to the top of my wish list. I definitely want DE, but not sure about BB or PM. I love how cute the BB is, but I wonder if the PM wouldn't be more practical for me.
Like you I’m new to luxury bags, I just got my long service at work I decided to treat myself. I end up sprinting coz I started November 2018 now I got 4 or 5 LV bags, first I bought was speedyB 30, then Neverfull Gm, then Favourite MM, then pochette Métis reverse that I got last Friday and key pouch. All in monogram. I made a mistake buying the Gucci Ophidia Large tote because at that time the LV gm was unavailable. Now I have to go back to Gucci Brisbane because it’s defective only worn it 3x and already peeling off on 4 corners I hope they give me refund or credit. I know how you feel and I’m excited for you. Enjoy lit as there’s no second chance in life.
Oh wow, you have quite the collection now!! Congrats! Isn't it addicting?? Such a fun (but expensive) habit! I'm sorry to hear about the Gucci Ophidia. Would you mind letting me know how it goes when you return it? I'm curious to know if they stand by their products like LV.
KEEP THE BAG!!! I went nuts trying to get my hands on it last year for Christmas for myself. Saved the money, walked into LV on Fifth avenue only to be told they were sold out. I was crushed. They put me on the waitlist and I kept checking, nothing. One day I went on Fashionphile and saw one in excellent condition. Sat on it for a few days because it was $100 more than LV was selling it for. I finally pulled the trigger and bought her. Best decision I ever made. I was beyond the moon when she finally arrived. I have already worn her twice. Took her to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. Only issue is that the shoulder strap does dig into the shoulder. So be mindful not to overpack her. Otherwise, I am very pleased with her. Enjoy!
I'm so glad you got one!!! Congrats!!! I'm glad that after all that waiting, she is what you'd hoped. About overpacking--I will definitely try not to. I wonder if the strap will relax and get more comfortable over time.
Congrats on your Pochette Metis, this is a very popular and practical bag. Everyone on the planet wants this bag......I think I am one of the few that has passed on it. If you love it, you should definitely keep it!
Thank you so much!! I haven't used it yet, but I haven't sold it either. I'll probably keep it since I really do love the look of it. Thank you so much for watching!!
Please keep! The value will probably go up on this bag. Check out the prices on some of the popular resale sites like fashionphile and you will see that the bag will sometimes sell for more than the LV store price:)
Your timing is amazing! I was wondering today if I should list preloved options in the description box of this video, but when I went to Fashionphile, the bags were so much over retail that I decided against it! I heard that this bag is getting easier to get, so hopefully that's true and more people can get what they want! Thank you for watching!
Let's Get Luxe Yes, finding this preloved from a reputable site at a good price will be hard! Ebay and Tradesy may have a few reasonable prices but I would suggest that the buyer to have it authenticated once they receive it🤗
I look at the Pochette Metis as an investment bag, price is only going up every year. IMO, this is going to be a classic LV piece. Great video, you have a great personality. Advice from one lux lover to another, take your time building your collection. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype and quickly get out of control into hoarding status, lol. I like how you said it will be a marathon, not a sprint, it will be more enjoyable and practical that way. 😊
Great point--the Pochette Metis does keep going up in price and popularity and seems unlikely to lose its value, at least in the near future. I think it's actually kind of lucky that, financially speaking, I have to take my time with this. There's excitement in the anticipation, almost as much as getting the luxury piece itself! Thank you so much for watching and for the advice!
Keep it! Because some LV stores are telling me they are discontinuing it and I am on the hunt for it again, because I had one and returned it due to glazing issues :/
Oh no! I hadn't heard that they were discontinuing it. That would be terrible--it's such a popular bag! Thank you for letting me know. That definitely argues in favor of my keeping it. If I'm not going to have the option of getting it in the future... Good luck in your hunt! I hope you find it again!
Congrats hun! I'm sure you will love the Pochette Metis and get a lot of use out of it! And I say that because this bag (and my Neverfull gm in DE + also my Speedy b35 DE) are my most used bags out of all my bag collection. I bought my PM in summer of 2015 and the quality has shown to be no less than fabulous. I decided to not treat the vachetta and now if it gets some rain drops on the handle they will leave no marks when they dry up. I have no corner wear and I have had no glacing problems. The only tiny wear is on the lock, where there are some light scratches, but that's inevitable to happen, and no one will notice. It doesn't bother me at all :) I think this bag is a LV classic. It's design is based on an old bag that they used to make a long time ago (I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it right now..) and from my research I have found that this style of bag is a typical LV design. Btw if you want to have a look at how my PM looks after 3 yrs of use, please check out my latest photo on IG:) - if you want to of course - I'm @mymomentsintime I want to wish you a lovely weekend, sweetie! Enjoy your bag, I'm sure it will soon become one of your top favorites! Love from Oslo, Norway . Btw I subbed, looking forward to your next video :)
Your comment is so helpful! In fact, I wish I had included in my video the tidbit about the PM being based on an old design. Thank you for letting me know. And I'm thrilled that your bag is wearing well. That definitely bodes well and is just one more reason for me to keep mine. ;-) I just started following you on Instagram and look forward to seeing your PM photos! Thank you for watching, subscribing, and providing such useful info in your comment!!
I'm so glad to hear you found my info useful. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback hun! Oh and thank you for following me on Insta, I really appreciate it! I will make sure to follow you back! Have a lovely week! xx
It was for you !!! I can see your excitement for this cute bag 💼. You are now a collector 😃Lol !! This is how it starts out ☺️. I use Apple 🍎 Brand products as well. Enjoy your new added luxe LV bag to your new collection. 😍
Do you live near a LV store? According to Client Services, you can order one in store from an SA. I was just at the Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills and they said that people who are ordering the Pochette Metis only have to wait two weeks. I was standing next to a woman who was picking up her order.
Keep it! I love my Pochette Metis. Mine is in the Empreinte leather Noir and I added it in December and I just adore carrying it. The Pochette Metis is not easy to find so you should definitely keep it; the Speedy and Alma aren’t going anywhere. They will always be there when you want to purchase. I tend to agree that this will be a classic bag. This is the second version, just like the Neverfull is on the 2nd version and that’s definitely now a classic. Also, LV started with just the Monogram and have since made this bag in Reverse, InfraRouge and now 5 shades of Empreinte leather. When they expand the selection, that’s a sign that the bag is here to stay in my opinion. They even have the Clapton PM which has a very similar silhouette but features the Damier Ebene canvas. As you may have guessed, I’m a LV addict and am obsessed with the fashion house. Congrats on your beautiful new bag 💗
That is such a good point--if they keep adding options (reverse, different colors of Empreinte), that does bode well. I wish I'd made that point in the video, in fact! I would LOVE the PM in Empreinte leather Noir. It's gorgeous, with the gold on black. Definitely on my wish list, though I doubt I'll get it soon, unfortunately. Enjoy your amazing collection!
For your second video, you’re such a natural in front of the camera! Just subscribed. Looking forward to more luxe videos. It’s a blackhole from here on!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and support! I'll definitely be uploading a lot more--I have tons of ideas and am excited about all of them! I hope you enjoy the channel. Happy weekend!!
I have been doing a lot of research into LV lately (and bags in general) because I have been buying my wife new luxury bags. After doing much research, I have discovered this bag seems to be many people's other bag killer. It holds more than a really small bag but small enough that you are not weighed down by a heavy bag. It fits right in the middle size wise. Also is the righr size to also work for a night on the town.
Um, can you always comment on my videos, please? The Pochette Metis as the "other bag killer" is priceless. Yes, a lot of comments I've been getting from people who own these bags is that it becomes their most used bag. I still haven't taken mine out of my closet, but I'm most likely going to keep it. I shall see if it replaces all my others.
Thank you so much!!! It's too hard to resist. I'm 99% sure I'm keeping it at this point. I haven't used it yet, so I still have the option to sell. But each encouraging comment I get, the closer I get to wearing her!
Hi...I also did a YT video on my POCHETTE METIS wimb...and I do have to say ...this bag was not on my radar until I accidentally (lol) saw YT vids about the Louis Vuitton pochette metis. Please don’t return...this bag is wonderful , functional and so practical ...you will regret not keeping it if you were to return. Love your vid and good luck on your luxury start.
I’m going to say keep it dolly. However you could use it for a few days and see how it suits you. If you like it then keep it. It’s very hard to get this bag so I’d keep it. I also say follow what’s In your heart too😍☺️😉. Thanks for sharing dolly.
Thank you so much!! I thought about using it for a few days, but I'm so scared about the Vachetta! I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it though, and just spray the leather with something to protect it. Thank you so much for watching and weighing in!!
New subscriber here 🙋🏻. How lucky were you to find this beauty. Can you please come down to where I live and try your/mine luck 😃. We don't even have a wait list anymore. And yes, keep her. I do think she's going to be a classic, since she's been on the market for a long time and it's so hard to buy one. Looking forward to new videos.
Welcome!! I'm so excited you subscribed! But I'm so sorry you haven't been able to get your hands on one of these. One of the last times I visited my SA, she told me that they had gotten one in stock earlier that day. Someone called her store, found out they had one, and ordered it to be delivered elsewhere in the country. Have you tried calling other stores? They disappear quickly, but you might get lucky!
KEEEEEP IT!!!!! Life is short! That's an amazing bag, hard to find and that seems like it was meant to be! Although I have to ask....and not that it matters but is your friend gonna be super jealous of that or will she be happy for you? 😬😬
I love that you wrote that! It definitely seems meant to be. What were the chances that I would even find it? Thank you so much for watching (and for casting your vote for "keep")!!
Somehow I'm just noticing the second part of your message. Sorry about that! My friend is happy for me but definitely wants to borrow it if I keep it. She actually thinks it might be a good thing because she can use it for a day and see if she would want to buy it for her next luxury purchase.
Keep it. I have it in empreinte noir. It is truly one of my most favorite bags. Enjoy the process of collecting I’ve been buying LV since the early 90’s. You can find me on IG if your interested in seeing my collection.
I love the empreinte noir on the PM! I am definitely enjoying becoming a collector. I just found you on Instagram and look forward to seeing your collection!
Please do an updated review on this bag! Do you still love it?! I’m debating it! It’s beautiful & seems very practical. Love the strap, xx
I definitely will! That's so funny--you're the second person to ask me that lately. Since it might be a little while, my basic thoughts are that I love it, I get compliments on it, but I don't use it as much as other bags because I worry about the vachetta (I never carry it when I'm with my kids, for example) and it doesn't always hold as much as I want to carry. I have a work phone and a personal phone, which is part of the problem. I'll do a more in depth review as soon as I can though!
I found this bag 4 days ago at a LV store in NYC. It was the last one in the city, so glad I scored this amazing bag!🥰
Wow, that is so lucky!! I hope you love it!
I have the New style is amazing I love it
It’s now 2 years later after your video and this bag is still a hot and hard to find item. I got lucky and my SA had a last one when I went to the boutique yesterday. I knew I had to have it no matter how much it cost. I hope you kept yours!
I had the original one from late 2013 ( it was recalled) with the extra internal pocket and I loved that bag. You’re going to love this bag, please keep it! I miss my PM baby.
I am enjoying it, though I don't use it as often as I should! Would you consider replacing yours with another?
Let's Get Luxe i turned it in after the recall and I now have PM Empreinte in Marine Rouge.
Let's Get Luxe Would you want to sell this bag? I recently went to Paris and was in search of this bag and can’t find it anywhere. I am from the Paradise Camp Fire and am looking to replace mine that I lost.
I have the reverse mono version and I absolutely love it!!! KEEP IT!!
I'm so glad you're loving yours! The reverse Mono is so unique--that's a keeper. I still have my Monogram PM but still haven't used it, even after all this time! I need to do something about the Vachetta leather--either treat it or get a bandeau to wrap around it. Thank you for watching!!
Hi. I just picked up my Pochette Metis reverse monogram. I've been on the fence about this bag but now that I have it I think it's a keeper. Anyway, looking at the RealReal site, I saw that these are selling at a premium.
Bought this preloved & it’s such a beauty! Very functional, stylish & carefree. I absolutely love it & it’s so rewarding to finally acquire it after such a long hunt! Congrats!
Keep it! It sounds like you love it. My experience is I bought the monogram pochette metis a few years back sold it, no issues just was not into small bags plus I did not love the strap. Now I have fallen back in love with it and have 3 in my collection. Empreinte Noir, Empreinte Rose Bruyere and the Reverse Monogram. If I had to sell all my bags and only keep one it would be the Pochette Empreinte in Noir. That is how much I love the bag now. Fits everything I carry on a day to day basis, love the crossbody and the handle easy to get out of the car with the handle. Lays flat against the body and is gorgeous. Really enjoyed your video enjoy your new bag.
Oh my gosh, you are so lucky! I absolutely love all of the PMs you have in your collection. If I were ever lucky enough to get another one, it would either be the Empreinte Noir or the nude color that I included as a snippet in the video. I think the Noir is stunning with the gold hardware contrasted with the black leather. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate the input as I decide what I'm going to do with this beauty.
I’m actually about to by the exact model in the empreint leather as my first ever luxury bag 😍 I’m so excited!
I love how happy that bag makes you! Thats when you know you have a good buy. And wow! you really have done your research!
Literally I had the same experience with this! I didn’t intend to buy it for keeps but then I found it in the store and 😍😍😍 this video makes me feel better!!
Haha!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I hope you're enjoying it!!
I wanted this bag so bad like you said it was hard to get I did get my hands on one I currently have 27 Louis Vuitton bags 2 Chanel lambskin and I tell you what as much as I want this bag I never use it are used a few times I packed it really late and then one day I packed it with a full wallet And other things and for some reason I think it lost its shape as much as I packed it I don’t know if it’s me but it just doesn’t look right in the shape anymore from that one time packing it too much now I really don’t want to use it I actually took it out today and used it and then I said let me look at some videos for wear and tear and then I came across your video even though it’s not where tear it’s probably an old video I’m watching but could you let me know if you come across this how yours is holding up I mean Of course it’s still a beautiful bag I just think I stretched it out that day
As a mom with kids, do you find that this is a practical bag? What are your thoughts on this bag compared to the Speedy B 25 Damier Ebene. I am choosing between the pochette Métis and this speedy b 25 ebene. I have kids and can’t figure out the best bag for me. I have a Neverfull already that I love.
We are the same! I love them both in terms of style. If I’m going out without my kids, the Pochette Métis is a natural choice and I adore how it looks. I think I probably get complimented more on that one. But I never grab the Pochette Métis when I have my kids because I worry about the chaos and the vachetta leather. I use my Damier Ebene Neverfull and Speedy B without worry. If you’re able to see them in store that would help because people have issues with each bag’s opening for different reasons. Specifically, the PM is hard to close if the bag isn’t full and is hard to close one-handed, while the Speedy 25 opening feels too small for some.
Thank you so much! I love them both!! Haha! I will start with the speedy b 25 for everyday use with my kids. I love that it has the top handle option for date nights. PM is definitely on my wish list for a chic outing without kids 🤩
I just purchased my first LV bag and I go the Pochette Metis in the Black Epi-leather (?) LOVE LOVE IT!!!
Congratulations!!! How exciting! What a perfect first bag from LV! Enjoy!
Once a Louis lover always a Louis lover! Congrats on the gorgeous bag! I have been on the (very short) waitlist in Denver and am picking mine up tomorrow!!!!
Congrats!! I hope you absolutely love it! I'm so glad the waitlist is short where you are. That's very lucky!
Definitely keep her! I have her & she is my most carried bag! My neverfull, speedy, & favorite mm ate all jealous of her because she is my most used bag! I beliece she has already become a classic for LV! Congrats on having her in your collection!
Haha! I hadn't heard that the NF, Speedy, and Favorite are the jealous types. I'm so glad you are enjoying your PM! Thanks for letting me know that out of all those beautiful bags you're using the PM the most. That argues in favor of my keeping her for sure. All the bags you mentioned are on my must have list. Have a glorious day!
I’m thinking of selling my Favorite in order to fund the PM purchase. What do you think?!
This is a beautiful bag and I hope to buy one. I just purchased the speedy 25 and I love it . The Pochette Metis will be my next bag. Enjoy your bag and please post again after using it.
I'm so glad you love your speedy 25! I've been looking at the Speedy B 25 in Damier Ebene, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I hope you get your Pochette Metis quickly and easily! I haven't used mine yet, but will definitely do a "what's in my bag" once I get going with it. Thank you so much for watching!!
I was stalking the LV website one day randomly and the Pochette Metis was available in Reverse Mono!! I almost fell over and had to purchase. It came in the mail and it's love at first sight :)
I hope you decided to keep it because it’s a beautiful bag. I use mine on weekends and anytime I’m off (I use a Speedy 35 during the week because I need something bigger for work). I have had no issues with this bag. It’s the latest generation, so I believe they’ve worked out the previous issues. It’s a stunning bag.
I'm so glad you're loving yours! And that's great that you're not having issues with it. It's nice that LV did what it could to address the problems. I did keep it but haven't used it yet.
Literally addicted to your channel ❤️
Like I am to yours??
I’d love to see a what’s in my bag! I’m hoping to buy this soon but I just don’t know if it will fit everything I want.
I will definitely do a what's in my bag!! Thank you so much for the suggestion!!
Omg! I got a new idea on how I can get my next bag. Great video.
That's great! I'm so glad it inspired you. ;) Thank you for watching!!
Ahhh I have been trying to get my hands on the Pochette Metis in monogram! I’m glad you kept it! It’s a beautiful bag❤️
Thank you so much!! If you are definitely looking and interested in getting one, I might be able to help. I seem to have good luck finding these in store and I'm headed later today to a LV. Let me know! :)
Hurray!! Hope you’re loving your PM!
Thanks for such an informative and helpful video. I just wanted to ask you something about the Pochette Metis. I recently managed to purchase one in London UK, when I got it home I noticed that through the lining in the front pocket I could feel the back of lock... the plate part. Is this normal? I just feel that LV should have added an extra layer over the back of the lock or made the lining thicker to prevent thining of the lining with wear, particularly when putting things in and pulling things out of the bag, it will rub on that area. The problem with this this model of bag is it’s so hard to obtain, I never have the chance to compare two in the store (bc they never have two in one go!). If you CAN feel the back of the lock through the lining then I will feel reassured that I know it’s not just mine. Thanks.
I'm a new subscriber 😊 hello from Canada! congratulations on your new purchase!! Love love the Pochette Metis!! I've been stalking it forever!! You made a great choice to keep! Enjoy your bag!!
Welcome!!! I'm thrilled you are part of my RUclips family! Thank you for the congrats and for watching! I have definitely noticed, at least here in the States, that the Pochette Metis is getting into stores (and into customers' hands) a lot faster lately. When I was in LV the other day, someone was picking up her order and had only had to wait 2 weeks to get it. I hope that's the case for you as well! Good luck!!
Let's Get Luxe thanks for letting me know. I will keep checking my store as well 😍
Yay!!! You will love it! I’ve had mine for 3 months and I’m in love. I will always be a Neverfull Tote girl, but this is my next favorite. Enjoy!
We have similar taste! That is great! I'm so glad you're loving your bags!
Great story!!!😀👍🥰 I think she’s gorgeous, and you might as well keep her 🧡
I also just bought this bag and was lucky to find one. I have seen this bag being sold for more than I paid for it and it is used! That’s why I got it. Because I know that I could turnaround the next day and sell it for more. So you NEED to keep it. When I was watching your video - it reminded me of myself. That’s how I feel every time I see it in my closet. Congrats to you! Btw I’m also new to the luxury world :)
Congrats on finding the bag!! I hope you are loving it. Isn't this luxury thing fun... and addicting???
Let's Get Luxe very addicting!! I first got the chloe drew, then the Gucci marmont med and then this. I think I need to be done for the year now lol!!
AWESOME!! Good for you!! What a great start to your collection! Congrats!!
I fell in love with his bag a couple weeks ago and had looked for it when I was in USA but no luck and then happen to call in my local store in Canada and they said they had extremely limited stock so I rushed over and I got the last one :-) the same monogram as this one they were sold out of the reverse… I instantly fell in love with this bag:)
That is AWESOME! Congrats on your good luck! I hope you've been using and loving it. I asked my SA last week if it's still really popular, and she said it definitely is.
My SA was able to get me a reverse one so I exchanged it And I am sooo happy ... it is still sold out all Canada and US ... only way lately is to have an SA txt u and hold it, so crazy this bag is such a hot commodity:) I love the reverse and the bag was literally made 2 weeks ago and I already have it! That’s my crazy PM journey lol - things we do for purses :)
Keep it. I just got mine after waiting for it for months. I sure hope I don't have any glazing issues. But I'm glad LV will take care of it should anything happen. But I have to say that I was a little disappointed that mine was made in USA. I was hoping for made in France. Where is yours made?
Congratulations on your new bag!!! Are you loving it? Mine was also made in the USA. I think my Neverfull was, too. Since I'm so new to this, I hadn't realized that I should look into the pros/cons of buying items made in certain countries. For example, will this impact the resale value? But honestly, as long as the quality is the same, I don't really mind. Especially my Neverfull--I will keep that forever just because of the sentimental value. Enjoy your Pochette Metis!
Let's Get Luxe the country of origin will not impact the resale value at all. But when I think of LV I guess I expect to see made in France lol. I guess that's my little OCD. Nonetheless it's a great bag and even if LV discontinues making it one day it's still a classic looking bag that can be enjoyed for many many years. It will never look out of style. Glad u got it. It's ok to be spontaneous once in a while. 😁
Let's Get Luxe mine is made in USA and it is holding up great!
Oh good!! I figured they must have some sort of quality control in place to make sure the bag holds up no matter where it's made. Thank you so much for the words of reassurance!
Keep it, it suits you! And must say, I like the way you talking, happy and positive!!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment! It makes my day!!
I really love my metis pm in mono and reverse...
I use my mini palm spring two small strap to my metis. I am so glad how versatile the mini palm spring strap is
That is amazing!! I love discovering new, versatile ways to utilize luxe pieces. And the Palm Springs is adorable!! Enjoy it!
This cannot be your 2nd video, u sound so professional😃😃😃 congrats on your purchase(s), they're gorgeous! I'm also new to lux purchases, slowly but surely and really really having a hard time stopping myself from it 😂😂😂 also i always "justify" my purchase with celebrating an important milestone so the purchase feels more special.
Have a great week ahead!
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words!! They really mean a lot. I am in the same boat as you--I had no idea how addicting the luxe world was going to be. I look forward to special occasions even more now than before! I hope you're having a great weekend!
Can you post a video wear and tear? Please
That is a great idea. I will add that to the list! Thank you!! ❤️
what was the vintage bag your husband gave you from your Aunt? I have a older speedy mono 35 from 2007 first bag, and now my beautiful neverfull and still awaiting my ups delivery of my Speedy b30 damier ebene. Praying for good weather on Monday I love the Pochette Metis now another to add to my wish list ....
I honestly don't remember what the bag was--it wasn't anything popular or common. I think it must be something that was discontinued. I will cross my fingers for good weather on Monday! Isn't the anticipation delicious, though? I would be so excited if I had an LV coming in the mail. I'd be sitting on the doorstep all day!
I have to work unless the weather is bad but I have my husband home he works second shift so he sleeps late in the morning I told him he needs to answer the door no matter what. LOL
YES! Oh my goodness, he cannot sleep through the LV delivery! Ha!
beautiful bag! :)
great video!!! your enthusiasm for bags is contagious!
Thank you! Does this mean you've caught the luxury bag bug? It is definitely contagious!
Let's Get Luxe 100%! I unfortunately missed the price increase BUT I was able to get my hands on the favourite mm in monogram a week ago ❤️
I
This one is so pretty! I have it in empreinte noir. But i want monogram one too, love the strap ! Cuz it s so pretty and can be matched with favorite mm!
This is my favorite bag I own! I used Apple guard and it worked perfectly. My S-lock is a little scratched but that’s inevitable. My canvas/glazing is doing fine. I hunted for this bag for months. I bought mine Sept 2018! Congrats on your find!
Congrats on your find, as well! I am SO glad the Apple Guard is working well. I know I said that in my video, but I actually was doubting myself so haven't applied yet. It really helps to know that people are having a good experience with it. THANK YOU for sharing that info!!
Congrats ❤️ I just got my pochette metis last week. I used to like LV in college, then kinda experimenting with other brands for the last 10years. Until I watch Shea Whitney and Jerusha s video last year, my lv frenzy has been unstoppable. Enjoy your beautiful neverfull and metis, dear
Congrats to you as well! I hope your Pochette Metis is making you happy as mine is making me.
Your smile is contagious!!❤️
I love this bag and would love to purchase it directly from LV. Do you know which stores may carry it or how I can get my hands on it?
I might be able to get it for you from one of the stores I frequent. I've found it for two other subscribers. Have you bought anything from LV in the past 12 months?
No. Actually this would be my very first LV purchase. You had mentioned the Washington DC store, would it be in this store?
Sometimes it is, but sometimes not--but they might be able to order it for you.
Are you in the DC area?
I'm in NY, but will be visiting DC in the first week of June and was planning to stop by the store. May be I'll be lucky and find one there?
You are adorable! Yes, it's ok to have something so beautiful spoil a plan 😂 It is such a beautiful and practical bag. I have it and love it! New subie, keep up the great work, love your vibrant personality and you have gorgeous hair! 💕
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment!! I'm so glad to hear you have the Pochette Metis and love it! I didn't end up selling it, but I still haven't used it because I'm worried about the Vachetta. It's been raining in L.A. a lot. But I'm excited to wear it once the weather gets safe. Thank you for watching, subscribing, and being wonderfully thoughtful!!!
Congrats! Keep it! It's so gorgeous! Great reveal! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! And thanks for watching. I'm headed over to your channel now to watch another -- your videos are awesome.
What luck! Definitely keep and enjoy. I’m starting my “collection” of luxury as well and I’m grappling with the same question your friend probably had which is to keep sitting on the money saved for the PM or go ahead and buy something I can enjoy now? Oy!
I love your advice, and I am definitely leaning toward taking it!! I hope you have a great day!
It's so cute, keep it! I was initially worried about the leather too with my monogram and damier azure bags but the leather patina's so beautifully. Loved your video, you have such a fun personality. Cheers!
I appreciate you letting me know about your experience. I'm so torn about how to handle the Vachetta, but I think I just have to relax about it. If I'm going to be adding LV bags to my collection, I'm going to have to embrace the Vachetta and all that comes with it! Thank you for your kind comment at the end there!!
Your video makes me very happy to watch
That is so nice!!! Thank you so much!!
Omg I knew it was DC. Hello neighbor. Yayyy! So glad I’m a subscriber to your channel. Loving that you’re local. 😊❤️
Thank you so much for subscribing!! I really appreciate it! I actually live in Los Angeles, but pretty much all my LV adventures will take place (and will be filmed) in DC. You are so lucky to live close to that store. What a gem. Thank you SO much for watching!!
Let's Get Luxe oh awesome!!!! I used to live in LA too. Lol. I lived in an apt building on Sunset and Martel. Haha. But I’m so glad you love the DC store. There are so many great stores in that little center. I would go nuts and spend all my money in one day. Hahahahaha. That’s why I try to only go every now and then. Anyway, love your videos Jamie! You’re a cool lady! 😊❤️
Thank you so much! I'll try to keep you entertained! ;)
In addition, when the time permits $, look at the SLG's, so fabulous and functional. 💼👜🎒👝
I think the next thing I buy will be an SLG. I'm looking at the 6 key holder, in particular. I think I will love it!
Keep it!! That happened to me last summer. I recently got my first LV Neverfull and was purchasing my 6 ring key holder and asked about the PM. I put my name on the long waiting list but also put my cc number on file. Of course, 1 week later-it came in and I was the only one that put a cc on file!! I love it!! Best decision ever!! ❤️👜
That is amazing!! I'm so glad you had such great luck, and that you are happy with how it turned out. It's also pretty funny that we have the exact same three items in mind. I started with my LV NF, ended up with the PM, and tried to get a 6 key holder, but the only one they had in stock was the graphite. You have excellent taste! ;-)
OMG ....I so need that bag in my life...it is unavailable over hear in the UK .😭.xx
I have this bag and love it 😍 you can’t go wrong with this one 👍🏼
Keep! Love your videos. I just bought my first LV bag and wallet last month right before the price increase! What an experience.
I bought the speedy 30 in monogram and the Emily wallet. I plan on getting more pieces later. Love the Pochette Metis bag. Down the line I also want to get a small cross body bag. And no, I don"t think you"re crazy because than I'd be crazy too! Lol!
Congrats on your new pieces!!! I hope you're loving them! And thank you for the kind and supportive words! They mean a lot!!!
Love the video. I am also beginning my collection and this is on my list. I wanted an everyday bag. I am debating on purchasing the empreinte noir or continue to wait for the monogram......the waiting list is over 1000...yikes!!!!
Congrats on starting your collection, too! Isn't it so fun? You can't go wrong with either PM. They are both gorgeous! The LV by my house is starting to get more and more PMs. The SA said that people who are ordering them there can pick them up in 2 weeks. I think it varies a lot by store. I hope you enjoy whichever one you decide to buy!
I have this in the empreinte and have been toying with selling. My heart tells me to keep it because it's so unique in terms of style and internal organization. There's nothing like it out there right now!
That's so interesting that your heart tells you to keep it but you're still toying with selling. Have you been reaching for it? Is the color something that you can wear with a lot of different things? I think the empreinte is stunning. Particularly the way the hardware stands out against the darker colored versions. Love, love, love. Thank you for watching!
I've been carrying it exclusively since I got it. It's the empreinte noir, which suits my personal style and goes with everything. There are no other bags out there with the same pocket layout. I think it's just a matter of allowing myself to enjoy a luxury item. I asked my fiance what he thought and he said I should definitely keep it, so that's the plan!
The noir on that bag is my favorite!! I'm so glad you're using it and keeping it! It is absolutely stunning and I hope it brings you happiness for many years to come! If I ever get an empreinte version of the PM, it will be the noir.
How Mach is this? So Beautiful keep it !
I think it was meant to be that you stumbled upon it! I found mine recently in Vegas and 2 days later got a text that the store I had been on the waitlist for had gotten one in and it was on hold for me 🤭.
Congratulations on getting yours!!! Are you loving it? I think they're coming in a lot faster than before, which is great. People won't have to wait so long.
I love it! You mentioned the strap, and it is awesome, I use a Pochette accessoires at work to carry my phones and other necessities when I have no pockets, and out of my 3 LV straps from different bags (I also have a treated leather from my ebene speedy b and a vachette from my turenne) it is the most comfortable and versatile.
That is awesome! That's so funny--I really want the Pochette Accessoires for the same reason. I had been considering it in DE, but they discontinued it in that print. So Monogram is looking like what I'll be getting, and I would be much more likely to use it with the canvas strap.
I love the PM i own one in monogram canvas and I LOVE IT, i also was a neverfull kind of girl, but the PM is everything !! When i use it cost me a lot change my bag, i had a peelling glazing issue but they solve, send it to repair, and the time when it was on repair, i missed my bag so much, is so practical, easy bag !! Congrats for sure is a keep !!
I'm so glad LV fixed the issues you were having with the bag, and that you enjoy yours!! It sounds like we have the same taste, given that you also appreciate the Neverfull. I'm all about easy bags, so I love that you say the PM is easy. Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!
Congrats on your Pochette Metis. I got mine about 2 years ago and it has quickly become my most favorite LV bag. My bag was made after LV made changes to the canvas and I'm so happy I never experienced any of the cons you mentioned. I had the protective blue plastic on the S-lock and it just fell off about 2 months ago and so far, no scratches. Keep it and Enjoy it. I live in the Washington, DC area and I've only seen 1 other person wearing this bag and that was so surprising to me because it is the rave on social media. I think it is well on its way to becoming a classic. I brought my first LV in '88 and absolutely love the fashion house. The other bags you mentioned, speedy and alma will always be around and they are easy to find. Just my two cents. :)
Cherell Vuitton I really do think I’m going to keep it. Everyone who has written me about who owns it says it’s their favorite bag. That speaks volumes. It’s funny what you say about the protective slip on the s lock. I was just asking someone if I could leave it on or if people would be able to tell it was there. Great minds think alike! Thank you again for watching!!
I got the Metis a year ago and don't even used it often but had the glazing issued. I took it to the LV store and the SA gave me a bogus excuse saying that it's normal. I ended selling the bag. I got it when it was only 1700$ and now with the price increased; I don't think it's worth it. Might as well get the leather one so it wouldn't have issue.
Oh no!! I'm so sorry you not only had issues, but also LV didn't take care of it to your satisfaction. I do NOT like hearing about that! At least you got it when it was $1700. Hopefully that helped with recouping during resale.
Let's Get Luxe I sold it back to a friend of a friend for 1500$. I didn’t use the bag much and it was still in excellent condition. But i was able to enjoyed it for a year 😀
That's great resale! And it really helps that you sold to a friend and didn't have to pay commission to one of the sites. Glad that worked out!
Just like you. My wish list didn't included the Metis. It was supposed to be the Speedy 25 Bandouliere. But then I was looking into the Metis for my cousin. Lucking me, after three week, I call the LV customers service. They said Natick MA have 2 of it and if I want to place it on hold. With my love of LV. I said yes to hold both. I fell in love with it, with the first look and wear. My cousin thought it was to small for her body size. I love it, and I think it would be the classic. Keep it. You won't regret it. You could wear it casual and take out the strap and just hand hold it. Either how you wear it. It a great bag.
How wonderful that you discovered a love for the PM like me! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Congratulations on finding TWO in store. That's incredibly lucky.
I am a new subscriber and I think you should definitely keep this beautiful bag!❤️ I just got my Pochette Métis from my husband for Valentine's Day and I l❤️VE her!! I think it's definitely going to be a classic for the fashion house. I see how many people have it and love it, and it stays sold out or there's always a waiting list for this bag at most LV stores across the globe!!😉 I love the design of this beauty and I can fit so much inside.. And just like what you said,I am looking forward to seeing the vachetta turn the gorgeous honey color later on but for now I am trying to keep her light as long as possible so I got a bandeau to tie on her handle and to dress her up or give her a different style!🎀 I think you are going to be so happy that you kept this beauty. I hope you will enjoy your new baby as much as I am loving mine! I really like your videos and I'm glad I found your channel!! 😘
Congratulations on your Pochette Metis!! What a thoughtful husband!! That's so interesting that you bring up the bandeau. I was just thinking about getting one for that exact reason, but then I was wondering if the top handle would darken at a different rate as the other pieces of Vachetta, since the other pieces wouldn't be protected by the bandeau. I can't decide if I care about that or not. Have you had that happen on yours?
And thank you so much for watching, by the way!!
Let's Get Luxe I haven't had that happen yet but I just got my bandeau a few days ago. I take the bandeau off when I get home that way all of the vachetta stays exposed to the same elements when she's just sitting out and she's not in her dustbag. I got the Stephen Sprouse leopard bandeau and I watched a lot of RUclips videos on how to tie a bandeau or twilly on a Pochette Métis,just type that in the RUclips search bar and there's tons of videos, I have mine wrapped around the handle all the way across so the vachetta is covered and I left enough slack on each end where it hangs down just enough to see where the bandeau says Louis Vuitton and it covers the vachetta tabs on each side of the bag so the only piece I have to worry about is the tab on the front of the bag but so far so good!😉 I try to just keep it out of sunlight when I am outside but I think as long as I keep the bandeau off inside the house,it should patina at the same rate,at least that's what I am hoping!!😍 I hope this makes sense,sorry to leave such a long reply, I just wanted to try and explain how I am using the bandeau so that I don't end up with uneven patina!🙈Have a great day!❤️
Here we go, as I predicted the other day! Ha! Enjoy, it's great. I am almost 70, never liked the classic speedy, too bulky, but I have 2 Alma bags. I have the PM
In Damier Ebene and the BB in Epi a Noir. Just follow your heart, but I would get
A Favorite MM in a pattern. I adore mine and the endless versatility.
I fell far fast!!! It's so true. :) I love the Alma. I'm actually thinking about moving that closer to the top of my wish list. I definitely want DE, but not sure about BB or PM. I love how cute the BB is, but I wonder if the PM wouldn't be more practical for me.
It’s a beautiful bag ..just added it to my wishlist ❤️
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BAG, I HAVE IT ON MY WISHLIST TOO, THANKS FOR SHARING
Thanks, Tracey! I gather you're in the "keep" camp! :-) Thank you for watching!!
Let's Get Luxe ABSOLUTELY ESPECIALLY A BAG THAT BEAUTIFUL, I WILL BE GOING TO ORDER ONE ON SATURDAY, I'M EXCITED
That is awesome!! I hope it brings you as much joy as it's bringing me!
Let's Get Luxe THANK YOU
Like you I’m new to luxury bags, I just got my long service at work I decided to treat myself. I end up sprinting coz I started November 2018 now I got 4 or 5 LV bags, first I bought was speedyB 30, then Neverfull Gm, then Favourite MM, then pochette Métis reverse that I got last Friday and key pouch. All in monogram. I made a mistake buying the Gucci Ophidia Large tote because at that time the LV gm was unavailable. Now I have to go back to Gucci Brisbane because it’s defective only worn it 3x and already peeling off on 4 corners I hope they give me refund or credit. I know how you feel and I’m excited for you. Enjoy lit as there’s no second chance in life.
Oh wow, you have quite the collection now!! Congrats! Isn't it addicting?? Such a fun (but expensive) habit! I'm sorry to hear about the Gucci Ophidia. Would you mind letting me know how it goes when you return it? I'm curious to know if they stand by their products like LV.
I bought the Gucci large ophidia tote, neverfull gm was unavailable that time.
You are so pretty..love your hair. enjoy watching you & your knowledge about LV. Love the Pochette Metis!
Oh my goodness, what a lovely message!! Thank you so much for the compliment! It made my day! And you have great taste in bags! :)
Yes. Keep it!!!!!! I can’t wait to get this bag myself.
Thank you so much!!! I hope you get yours soon! Thank you for watching!
KEEP THE BAG!!! I went nuts trying to get my hands on it last year for Christmas for myself. Saved the money, walked into LV on Fifth avenue only to be told they were sold out. I was crushed. They put me on the waitlist and I kept checking, nothing. One day I went on Fashionphile and saw one in excellent condition. Sat on it for a few days because it was $100 more than LV was selling it for. I finally pulled the trigger and bought her. Best decision I ever made. I was beyond the moon when she finally arrived. I have already worn her twice. Took her to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. Only issue is that the shoulder strap does dig into the shoulder. So be mindful not to overpack her. Otherwise, I am very pleased with her. Enjoy!
I'm so glad you got one!!! Congrats!!! I'm glad that after all that waiting, she is what you'd hoped. About overpacking--I will definitely try not to. I wonder if the strap will relax and get more comfortable over time.
Don't know, but I am ordering the shoulder pad for it.
Good idea.
How many holes does the strap has?
seven
Congrats on your Pochette Metis, this is a very popular and practical bag. Everyone on the planet wants this bag......I think I am one of the few that has passed on it. If you love it, you should definitely keep it!
Thank you so much!! I haven't used it yet, but I haven't sold it either. I'll probably keep it since I really do love the look of it. Thank you so much for watching!!
Please keep! The value will probably go up on this bag. Check out the prices on some of the popular resale sites like fashionphile and you will see that the bag will sometimes sell for more than the LV store price:)
Your timing is amazing! I was wondering today if I should list preloved options in the description box of this video, but when I went to Fashionphile, the bags were so much over retail that I decided against it! I heard that this bag is getting easier to get, so hopefully that's true and more people can get what they want! Thank you for watching!
Let's Get Luxe Yes, finding this preloved from a reputable site at a good price will be hard! Ebay and Tradesy may have a few reasonable prices but I would suggest that the buyer to have it authenticated once they receive it🤗
I agree! You can probably find good deals on those sites, but since I'm new to this I tend to steer toward sites that have fewer issues with fakes.
I look at the Pochette Metis as an investment bag, price is only going up every year. IMO, this is going to be a classic LV piece. Great video, you have a great personality. Advice from one lux lover to another, take your time building your collection. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype and quickly get out of control into hoarding status, lol. I like how you said it will be a marathon, not a sprint, it will be more enjoyable and practical that way. 😊
Great point--the Pochette Metis does keep going up in price and popularity and seems unlikely to lose its value, at least in the near future. I think it's actually kind of lucky that, financially speaking, I have to take my time with this. There's excitement in the anticipation, almost as much as getting the luxury piece itself! Thank you so much for watching and for the advice!
Keep it! Because some LV stores are telling me they are discontinuing it and I am on the hunt for it again, because I had one and returned it due to glazing issues :/
Oh no! I hadn't heard that they were discontinuing it. That would be terrible--it's such a popular bag! Thank you for letting me know. That definitely argues in favor of my keeping it. If I'm not going to have the option of getting it in the future... Good luck in your hunt! I hope you find it again!
Are you still looking for one? Would you be willing to order it from LV by phone? I found one!
But I would need to know ASAP...
Rosalie Rodriguez I have one for sale that I just bought in July if you’re interested!
Congrats hun! I'm sure you will love the Pochette Metis and get a lot of use out of it! And I say that because this bag (and my Neverfull gm in DE + also my Speedy b35 DE) are my most used bags out of all my bag collection.
I bought my PM in summer of 2015 and the quality has shown to be no less than fabulous. I decided to not treat the vachetta and now if it gets some rain drops on the handle they will leave no marks when they dry up. I have no corner wear and I have had no glacing problems. The only tiny wear is on the lock, where there are some light scratches, but that's inevitable to happen, and no one will notice. It doesn't bother me at all :)
I think this bag is a LV classic. It's design is based on an old bag that they used to make a long time ago (I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it right now..) and from my research I have found that this style of bag is a typical LV design.
Btw if you want to have a look at how my PM looks after 3 yrs of use, please check out my latest photo on IG:) - if you want to of course - I'm @mymomentsintime
I want to wish you a lovely weekend, sweetie! Enjoy your bag, I'm sure it will soon become one of your top favorites! Love from Oslo, Norway .
Btw I subbed, looking forward to your next video :)
Your comment is so helpful! In fact, I wish I had included in my video the tidbit about the PM being based on an old design. Thank you for letting me know. And I'm thrilled that your bag is wearing well. That definitely bodes well and is just one more reason for me to keep mine. ;-) I just started following you on Instagram and look forward to seeing your PM photos! Thank you for watching, subscribing, and providing such useful info in your comment!!
I'm so glad to hear you found my info useful. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback hun! Oh and thank you for following me on Insta, I really appreciate it! I will make sure to follow you back! Have a lovely week! xx
It was for you !!! I can see your excitement for this cute bag 💼. You are now a collector 😃Lol !! This is how it starts out ☺️. I use Apple 🍎 Brand products as well. Enjoy your new added luxe LV bag to your new collection. 😍
Yes--this is how it starts. Someone told me this was going to be addictive and she was RIGHT. Have a great week!!
Any advice for me? I’m trying to get one in California
Do you live near a LV store? According to Client Services, you can order one in store from an SA. I was just at the Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills and they said that people who are ordering the Pochette Metis only have to wait two weeks. I was standing next to a woman who was picking up her order.
Yes I do! I can go to about three of them. I’ll check in. Thank you?!
Good luck!!! I hope you get it!
Are you still looking? I found one in store and you could order it over the phone. I would need to know ASAP.
Let's Get Luxe yes I am!! Who do I call?
Keep it! I love my Pochette Metis. Mine is in the Empreinte leather Noir and I added it in December and I just adore carrying it. The Pochette Metis is not easy to find so you should definitely keep it; the Speedy and Alma aren’t going anywhere. They will always be there when you want to purchase. I tend to agree that this will be a classic bag. This is the second version, just like the Neverfull is on the 2nd version and that’s definitely now a classic. Also, LV started with just the Monogram and have since made this bag in Reverse, InfraRouge and now 5 shades of Empreinte leather. When they expand the selection, that’s a sign that the bag is here to stay in my opinion. They even have the Clapton PM which has a very similar silhouette but features the Damier Ebene canvas. As you may have guessed, I’m a LV addict and am obsessed with the fashion house. Congrats on your beautiful new bag 💗
That is such a good point--if they keep adding options (reverse, different colors of Empreinte), that does bode well. I wish I'd made that point in the video, in fact! I would LOVE the PM in Empreinte leather Noir. It's gorgeous, with the gold on black. Definitely on my wish list, though I doubt I'll get it soon, unfortunately. Enjoy your amazing collection!
For your second video, you’re such a natural in front of the camera! Just subscribed. Looking forward to more luxe videos. It’s a blackhole from here on!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and support! I'll definitely be uploading a lot more--I have tons of ideas and am excited about all of them! I hope you enjoy the channel. Happy weekend!!
Welcome to you tube. I have just subbed as I am a
handbag addict and have a channel as well. 😘
That is great, thank you! I just subscribed to your channel, too, and can't wait to watch your videos. :-)
I have been doing a lot of research into LV lately (and bags in general) because I have been buying my wife new luxury bags. After doing much research, I have discovered this bag seems to be many people's other bag killer. It holds more than a really small bag but small enough that you are not weighed down by a heavy bag. It fits right in the middle size wise. Also is the righr size to also work for a night on the town.
Um, can you always comment on my videos, please? The Pochette Metis as the "other bag killer" is priceless. Yes, a lot of comments I've been getting from people who own these bags is that it becomes their most used bag. I still haven't taken mine out of my closet, but I'm most likely going to keep it. I shall see if it replaces all my others.
Let's Get Luxe, I am pretty sure it will take an effort not to just grab this bag as it seems to just work in size. Enjoy your new accidental bag.
Interested to hear what you did - kept or sold?
keep it!,love your channel , enjoy your new bag :)
Thank you so much for weighing in! I think "keep" has gotten all the votes so far. :-)
I have the Metis vintage hand bag!
That is awesome! Do you love it??
Keep it!!!! You’re gonna use them both so much!!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!!! It's too hard to resist. I'm 99% sure I'm keeping it at this point. I haven't used it yet, so I still have the option to sell. But each encouraging comment I get, the closer I get to wearing her!
Hi...I also did a YT video on my POCHETTE METIS wimb...and I do have to say ...this bag was not on my radar until I accidentally (lol) saw YT vids about the Louis Vuitton pochette metis. Please don’t return...this bag is wonderful , functional and so practical ...you will regret not keeping it if you were to return. Love your vid and good luck on your luxury start.
Thank you so much! That is so helpful! I just subscribed to your channel and will be looking for that video!!
Let's Get Luxe aww thank you your so sweet and I also sub to your channel 😊 have a great day
I’m going to say keep it dolly. However you could use it for a few days and see how it suits you. If you like it then keep it. It’s very hard to get this bag so I’d keep it. I also say follow what’s In your heart too😍☺️😉. Thanks for sharing dolly.
Thank you so much!! I thought about using it for a few days, but I'm so scared about the Vachetta! I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it though, and just spray the leather with something to protect it. Thank you so much for watching and weighing in!!
I’m like you I’m new to luxury bag. When I got my long service at work I decided to treat myself for my hard earned money.
That is awesome! Congratulations! Which bag did you decide to get for your first one?
Keep it!! I want that bag so badly!!!
New subscriber here 🙋🏻. How lucky were you to find this beauty. Can you please come down to where I live and try your/mine luck 😃. We don't even have a wait list anymore. And yes, keep her. I do think she's going to be a classic, since she's been on the market for a long time and it's so hard to buy one. Looking forward to new videos.
Welcome!! I'm so excited you subscribed! But I'm so sorry you haven't been able to get your hands on one of these. One of the last times I visited my SA, she told me that they had gotten one in stock earlier that day. Someone called her store, found out they had one, and ordered it to be delivered elsewhere in the country. Have you tried calling other stores? They disappear quickly, but you might get lucky!
I never tried calling the stores. That's such a great idea, instead walking in. Thank you
Good luck!
Thank you 😘. Have a nice weekend
You, too!
Yes, Keep this bag. There is a ridiculous waiting list for this bag. I have one (that I lucked up on) and I love it!
I'm so glad you love yours!
I THINK YOU MADE A GREAT BUY, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY REGRETS
I think you're right. I hope you get yours, too. Twinsies!
From your smile n laugh, I know you love this bag. Just keep it. It fits u very well. nice day.
KEEEEEP IT!!!!! Life is short! That's an amazing bag, hard to find and that seems like it was meant to be! Although I have to ask....and not that it matters but is your friend gonna be super jealous of that or will she be happy for you? 😬😬
I love that you wrote that! It definitely seems meant to be. What were the chances that I would even find it? Thank you so much for watching (and for casting your vote for "keep")!!
Somehow I'm just noticing the second part of your message. Sorry about that! My friend is happy for me but definitely wants to borrow it if I keep it. She actually thinks it might be a good thing because she can use it for a day and see if she would want to buy it for her next luxury purchase.
Keep it. I have it in empreinte noir. It is truly one of my most favorite bags. Enjoy the process of collecting I’ve been buying LV since the early 90’s. You can find me on IG if your interested in seeing my collection.
I love the empreinte noir on the PM! I am definitely enjoying becoming a collector. I just found you on Instagram and look forward to seeing your collection!
Keep. It’s gorgeous. You already have it. It looks great on you. Why return it?
Thank you so much! That's the trick--now that I have it, it would be hard to let it go. Thank you for the compliment!! And for watching!!
keep it. i waited for 1 year to get that bag
I did end up keeping it and I’m so glad I did. It is such a great bag! I hope you love yours, too!
I would keep it if I were u. They’re hard to find. I have this bag too and it is one of my favorite bag purchases
Thank you so much for the advice, especially since you have this bag and speak from experience. And thanks as well for watching!
Keep it! I tried reselling mine too
Keep it! It’s beautiful😍❤️
Thank you so much!!!
Love that bag! Keep it.
Thank you so much!! I still haven't sold it, so I think I'm going to end up with it in the end!
