I love mine as well. It is the perfect bag, for me. I’ve gone into LV several times to buy the PM but was discouraged for a number of reasons. When I saw this it was a no-brainer. This is now my everyday bag and I’m fighting the urge to buy a second one.
I was waiting for your review. I know how much you love your LV PM, so when the pre-orders for this came up, I jumped at the chance. I'm so glad I did. It's a very practical bag and easy to use. I would die for the buttercream color! I'm so in love with that color ever since you dropped your collab for it.
The black is gorgeous. Now I'm thinking of ordering it, but I want to receive the gray with silver hardware 1st. I ordered and I'm so excited. It said it be 12 weeks but I hope it comes before then. I love everything about yours. I don't have it in LV but I do want one when I can afford it. Thanks for sharing.
Ty for the review. I have always wanted the PM but never wanted to spend the money for one.I just love the style bag. When the gray comes back in stock to order I am going to purchase!
I always like the PM design, but never liked the monogram look, but the empreiette leather was so expensive. Now there is an alternative in the black in leather, love it. Thanks for the comparison
I have been debating on purchasing the Paris 15, it is on pre-order right now so I might look into it. It is so classy looking! I would also add an LV twilly to the top handle to make it even more luxurious. Thanks for this review you have me convinced! xoxo
LV did put a protectulive cover on the lock pin to stop it scratching the plate on later models. I have the monceau which i much prefer to the PM, but i do have the coach cassie in taupe, ixblood and black.
Ah, good to know! I had no idea LV added that. Also, a lot of people wish the Coach Cassie original would be brought back. I think this DUYP version will offer a more affordable option for many.
So excited to see this ‘inspired’ version with togo leather! I must say I prefer this to the lv pochette metis 😊 However I noticed a pretty significant ‘line’ on top of lock once you open the front bag at 2:28 is it normal to have this visible line on the bag? Does the pochette metis have this too?
I just checked my bag and I don’t see any line in person but I do see what you mean in the video. I have bright sunlight coming through the camera so sometimes things look more stark (like dust particles, lines, indents etc). It’s just the back of the lock that’s on the interior of the bag that’s probably showing through as a line, but like I said, I can’t see it in person.
Thanks so much for checking!! I appreciate your reply 😊 now I can’t wait to try on this bag, never tried any togo leather before I’m so excited to get my hands on them 🎉
I’m waiting for the camel version to be available for preorder again. I plan to buy it when it is, but would also love an East-west in a different color. Nude pink or warm taupe with gold hardware would be 😍😍😍
Love this bag (contemplating a purchase) and if Melodie makes this in a small, east west version, like the new LV style, I would buy it in a heartbeat! Esp if it came with a chain ❤
I think DUYP receives many requests and she only creates her own version if she can improve upon it. Love that about her products. Glad you see it too!
TFS! I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on this beauty soon. I'm trying to limit my spending this year and follow a bit of a one in one out rule or really one in 2 out at this point LOL. That being said, I just ordered the Coach quilted Tabby 33 so I'll need to hold off until at least April I'm thinking. I have the Pochette Metis and use to own the Coach Cassie, I sold the Cassie because I wasn't using it much but I really like the leather of this DUYP Paris 15. I do wish the leather strap was a bit wider as I prefer wider straps. I love that this one doesn't have glazing, Coach back in the day did mostly folded leather on the ends instead of glazing which was beautiful.
Thanks for the review ! I ordered mine in buttercream! Hope she'll release the East West in blue tiffany with silver hardware (or am I the only one ?). Regards from Paris.
Finally 😍 thank you for the review ❤ I pre ordered the black Paris15 earlier this month with your code and can’t wait for it to arrive, i’m so tempted to get it in graphite or camel when preorders for those colours open again.
I just saw that. I'm pretty new to your channel. Discovered you a while back and then took a TH-cam break. I'll be sure to use it for future purchases :)
She really does such beautiful work. The PM has always looked a little too boxy for my taste so I haven’t purchased this one, but if she does an east/west style I will be all over it…hint hint😄
Hi, do you know if more colour options are planned? I would this love bag in a blue denim or navy version. I have too many black bags already and dark blues go much better with jeans and causal dressing…..
lol at times small business is better… just like with anything else. These bags are really no comparison the leather on the bag looks very inexpensive.
I just watched your video reviewing the DeMellier. I think for 1/2 the price this Paris15 would serve the same purpose as the Vancouver. I wonder why the Paris 15 does not smell like leather? A little concerning. Feedback anyone?
Mine has been 7 days already and it hasn't go away yet. I tried to use it and the smell transferred to my slgs. I did contacted DUYP and she confirmed that it's from the glue used and is non-toxic. And with time and uses it will fade away. Just want to mention that Hanna's review is bang on, both positive and negative.
Mine still smells, probably bc I kept it in the dust bag so now I’m airing it out properly. I can tell that the more I wear it outside, the faster the smell will dissipate. Hope that helps!
Oh I did a video like that with the LV versions a while back and the DUYP versions are nearly identical in size so it may be helpful to watch it - here you go - th-cam.com/video/tFS4JktvLoQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Qht-KCcbLAKLtqY2
This bag looks nice and a great dupe for the LVbag but... Why are the options to pay only venmo and paypal? I find it odd.. If I place an order ...is it going to ship from China or somewbere and take 7-14 weeks to ship? I saw one of the language options is malay... Is that where they ship from? Malaysia ? I wanna purchase but but am hesitant😓
The second Melodie releases this in cream, I'm buying it. Also a cranberry color would be beautiful and trendy. And a color like LV's turtledove would also be one I would buy in a heartbeat. Please Melodie, PLEASE!!!! @hello catwalk city Thanks for the great review as usual! 💕
@@fatmaal9099 Hi there! Well, I didn't have a TH-cam video until today when I posted the video on my Buttercream Paris 15 per your request. I hope you watch and enjoy. Also, if you haven't yet ordered your Paris 15 in the buttercream, Melodie said today that she will offer it again in a week or so. Happy Shopping!
Yes, so far, I see caramel brown and dark grey but I believe they are sold out and will be restocked later. I heard there may be other colors coming soon based on popular demand.
I’m really interested in buying this bag, but where is it made? The website specifies it’s handmade but doesn’t clarify where. I know you alluded to Asia in the video, but specifics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
As far as I can tell, there is zero infringement on copyright or anything like that, and there are other brands that make bags like this. LV came out with their Pochette Metis AFTER the Coach Cassie became so popular, so in essence, LV copied Coach. 😂 Truth is, designers are inspired by each other all the time and put their own twist on styles.
😮That inside textured looking flap is going to get stained fast. Wish there was a surprise pop of color for the inside flap instead of boring dirty grey color, hopefully just my screen projecting that full gray color.
Oh, I talked about this in the video! It has a factory smell that is dissipating each day. I’m actually surprised bc the other DUYP pieces I’ve received did not have this smell but perhaps bc it was packaged so tightly when it arrived.
Yes for sure. I think a lot of people want Coach to bring back their original Cassie. Too bad it was discontinued but hopefully this DUYP version will offer another great option!
Just another reason why designer bag quality is in the toilet now... the piping around the DUYP version is next level. LV cheaped out on that with glazing, clearly.
@@hellocatwalkcity I noticed the newer colors like camel, buttercream and grey seem to have the pebbled leather piping rather than the Vachetta leather.... not sure how that will compare or hold up.
I love mine as well. It is the perfect bag, for me. I’ve gone into LV several times to buy the PM but was discouraged for a number of reasons. When I saw this it was a no-brainer. This is now my everyday bag and I’m fighting the urge to buy a second one.

This in the buttercream would be gorgeous, I agree!
Beautiful bag! I hope she comes out with an east west version of this!! 🤞🤞🤞
She’ll probably see the comments here! 😉
Yes please! East west version!
Pls ask melodie to make the east west version ! That would be perfect for me !❤
Just messaged her! 😂 😉
I agree! I would buy that in a heartbeat!

Thanks for the comparison! Adding the bag to my shopping list! I hope she will create a dark olive one 😆
Dark Olive seems to be really trending at the moment too! I’m seeing so many brands come out with the color.
LV did put a protectulive cover on the lock pin to stop it scratching the plate on later models.
I have the monceau which i much prefer to the PM, but i do have the coach cassie in taupe, ixblood and black.

Just preordered the micro version! Got an email about it this morning!
The micro is so cute!!

I second this!😂❤🎉
As previously mentioned, I may have sourced this bag. I had considered the Pochette Métis in black leather, but then DUYP made this bag. I love it.
Thanks for the comparison! The bag is beautiful! Any idea if she’ll make the east west version?
Not sure, but it seems many people are waiting for the east west version so hopefully she’ll make it!! 🤞
Love this bag (contemplating a purchase) and if Melodie makes this in a small, east west version, like the new LV style, I would buy it in a heartbeat! Esp if it came with a chain ❤
I just said the same thing!
That would be perfect 😍 id order one in a heartbeat too
I believe she did say she was making a mini version.
It feels like DUYP is doing homework for LV, correcting all the shortcomings and annoying moments. I call it REAL customer care.
I think DUYP receives many requests and she only creates her own version if she can improve upon it. Love that about her products. Glad you see it too!

I hope she makes an east west size. I would order it in multiple colors😆
I received mine a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful purse 😍.
So glad you’re happy with yours!
I need them to do an east west version!
I ordered this, and I am so excited!
Thanks for the review ! I ordered mine in buttercream! Hope she'll release the East West in blue tiffany with silver hardware (or am I the only one ?). Regards from Paris.

I wish DUYP will come up with the east west version too ❤
I just preordered as well with your code, thank you so much!!
You can also lightly lubricant zippers so they zip much more smoothly
I can't believe I ordered before I saw your code!!
Oh no!! I always share a code 😱
I just saw that. I'm pretty new to your channel. Discovered you a while back and then took a TH-cam break. I'll be sure to use it for future purchases :)
So excited!!! Also thanks for the mini review. Still anxiously awaiting my package 🤞
Hope you love yours when it arrives!
Do you think you will ever do a jewelry review video? I love all of your bags and your jewelry has always caught my eye. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I’ve done jewelry videos in the past! Perhaps I can do an updated one soon!
Thanks for the thorough walk through!
I love the bag. I only wish it wasn’t a pre-order in which you had to wait 12 weeks for.
I understand. I had to be patient for mine too but it’s a small business and they only produce in small batches to reduce waste.
Just ordered mine in graphite. It’s perfect for me
She really does such beautiful work. The PM has always looked a little too boxy for my taste so I haven’t purchased this one, but if she does an east/west style I will be all over it…hint hint😄
Yes, it seems many people are hoping for the east west version of this! Hopefully soon!
Where is the DUYP purse produced/by whom?
I got my Paris 15 and I looooove it so much. 🥰 should I invest in Pochette Métis?🤔
Oh enjoy yours!!!
Such a nice bag. Great comparison between PMetis. ❤
I really like this bag and I’m thinking about buying it.
lovely video comparison - almost enough to convince me to try it - but the Cassie didn't work for me so that is the only thing holding me back.
If the Cassie wasn’t for you, I’d say pass on this one too. They’re very similar in silhouette and style.
Hi, do you know if more colour options are planned? I would this love bag in a blue denim or navy version. I have too many black bags already and dark blues go much better with jeans and causal dressing…..
I believe more colors will come out in the future but not sure which colors they are.
@@hellocatwalkcity Hoping for khaki!!! I like that color in that totes she has available :)
Ok I know this is besides the point but Where did you get your boots? I love them!
No brainer. Why would anyone buy LV when small businesses do it way better? Great video. Bravo!
lol at times small business is better… just like with anything else. These bags are really no comparison the leather on the bag looks very inexpensive.

I would just like to clarify the smell of the bag when you receive it. Does that smell go away if you leave it outdoors for awhile or after time?
The smell on mine went away pretty quickly. I use it almost everyday
Thanks that’s all I needed to hear that was stopping me!
Mine has been 7 days already and it hasn't go away yet. I tried to use it and the smell transferred to my slgs. I did contacted DUYP and she confirmed that it's from the glue used and is non-toxic.

That’s great!!
Can you share the link for your bracelet?
The gold with diamonds? It’s a custom design by our personal jeweler. The black wrap one is Hermes. 😊
Whoops!! Wrong bracelets I was talking about! 😅 I thought I was wearing something else. I see I’m wearing my EMILI bracelet from Tokyo.
Can you do a comparison what fits of the DUYP Togo medium kirigami vs. mini pochette
Oh I did a video like that with the LV versions a while back and the DUYP versions are nearly identical in size so it may be helpful to watch it - here you go - th-cam.com/video/tFS4JktvLoQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Qht-KCcbLAKLtqY2

do you know how long the pre-order will last?
Can't wait to get mine!
Are the clips on the straps strong?
Wonder why it does not smell like leather if it is Togo leather?
Hi how can i buy this in UK?❤
Wow! I love this bag💘💖💞
Is there other colors available?
Yes, so far, I see caramel brown and dark grey but I believe they are sold out and will be restocked later. I heard there may be other colors coming soon based on popular demand.
I am sooo much in for this!
I hope they release otger colors
I purchased the Coach Cassie version and it’s my go to bag for work when I go into the office.
This style of bag with its size and compartments make it super practical for everyday! 👍
Will this bag be coming back in stock? I really need it. Already have LV Pochette Métis and vachetta leather is so impractical.
If you preordered it, it should be ready in a few weeks based on the announcement I saw from DUYP on Instagram recently.
wow that is such a beautiful dupe! also for the price?? sign me uppp
I know, the price is just too good.
DUYP please make Hermes shaped bags like evelyne and kelly
Where are the bags actually made?
I’m really interested in buying this bag, but where is it made? The website specifies it’s handmade but doesn’t clarify where.
I know you alluded to Asia in the video, but specifics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'm wondering... won't DUYP get in trouble for always copying LV? It's not just "inspired" it's making the almost exact thing.
As far as I can tell, there is zero infringement on copyright or anything like that, and there are other brands that make bags like this. LV came out with their Pochette Metis AFTER the Coach Cassie became so popular, so in essence, LV copied Coach. 😂 Truth is, designers are inspired by each other all the time and put their own twist on styles.
No it won’t, as long as they don’t put LV logo on their bags
This is the coach cassie
Apparently, LV copied Coach and now we come full circle with another affordable option.
😮That inside textured looking flap is going to get stained fast. Wish there was a surprise pop of color for the inside flap instead of boring dirty grey color, hopefully just my screen projecting that full gray color.
Great observation - a pop of color would be amazing!
Does the bag have any weird smell? I was gifted a dupe Picotin and it makes me so dizzy 😅
Oh, I talked about this in the video! It has a factory smell that is dissipating each day. I’m actually surprised bc the other DUYP pieces I’ve received did not have this smell but perhaps bc it was packaged so tightly when it arrived.
@@hellocatwalkcity ah I must have missed it. Thank you for sharing! Hope the smell goes away soon xoxo
Do You know where or which country the bag is made in? Thanks!
She said Asia but didn’t mention the country (she may not know)
I love mine!
If the hardware was silver I would prob buy one .. just wish someone would make a good dupe for the Bottega Andiano
Agree. I just can’t do gold. Silver or black hardware would be amazing.
There's a silver option available now
@@lmcdowell5616 yes! I actually just bought the all black version.
Do they deliver internationally?
Yes, I know they ship to Europe and Asia too, but please check their website for specifics.
@@hellocatwalkcity ❤️ thank you
Just run some wax paper across the zipper it'll be smooth as butter
I’m in LOOOOVE ❤
I’m waiting for the restock of the mini pochette
If DUYP makes this in the east-west version, I hope the back pocket fits a phone. Anyone know if the pocket in the LV version does?
Its giving Coach cassie bag
Yes for sure. I think a lot of people want Coach to bring back their original Cassie. Too bad it was discontinued but hopefully this DUYP version will offer another great option!
Too bad it is currently out of stock😢
Just another reason why designer bag quality is in the toilet now... the piping around the DUYP version is next level. LV cheaped out on that with glazing, clearly.
Seriously, the leather piping all around the bag vs resorting to glazing - so good!
@@hellocatwalkcity I noticed the newer colors like camel, buttercream and grey seem to have the pebbled leather piping rather than the Vachetta leather.... not sure how that will compare or hold up.
wow, looked great until saw all the dividers! Just hate divided bags, like extra weight & cuts out capactiy.
I HAVE😀
