Just paid mine online around 3 hours ago.. @4am today. Cant wait! Well, in these time wer money is somehow of less value due to the pandemic i just thought why not use it in buying something that can give me self-fulfillment ..
Not sure if you'd be interested, but Handbag Haven makes hardware protector stickers for this bag which I purchased and put on mine before starting to use...they've held up fairly well but is starting to peel off on one edge. I was able to snag mine online. Loving it so far! Congrats!💕
Thank you for sharing! 🥰 i loved the PM when i first venture to louisvuitton but unfortunately it was always out of stock. i couldnt wait for it so i search for other bag and decided to get the Clapton Pm in raisin. almost comparable with the PM minus the top handle of PM and clapton has a leather flap and strap. it's my first luxury bag and a gift from my hubby. ☺️ p.s, stay safe 🙏🏼
I have this as well. It was replaced by LV free of charge last April due to glazing issues. My original was from 2016. The replacement was 2019 and it is so much much better. My original was very stiff especially the strap. I sprayed mine with applegard as well and I have no water marks at all. Thanks for sharing.
I finally got a hold of this last December from Rodeo Drive. I bought the Reverse. I was torn between the mono and reverse. I ended up with the Reverse as I’ve got few monogram collection- but after watching your video.. I wished I got the monogram instead. But my reverse stands out too 😂😱😂 oh my!
Interesting , I have the reverse but I’d defy buy empriente or mono just because it’s an absolutely AMAZING handbag. Always going to be a classic, I use my reverse so much X great video
I finally got mine but there’s like a circular mark on the vachetta and I was unluckily assigned an SA who didn’t know about the glazing issues for previous PMs…. Idk if I should exchange for a new one or just use it… 😞
Very informative video--do you still love it? I'm definitely considering this bag as an everyday bag but can't decide between the leather or mono. It seems like it would be very easy to dress up or down!
Yes if you want to leave the stickers on, that could protect the hardware from scratches but I tend to remove the stickers right away bc I love to see the “naked” polish of the hardware. Also just be careful as stickers that are kept on for too long can cause oxidation of the hardware.
Thanks!! That’s what i was wondering. I remember seeing a video where they said to remove immediately upon purchase but I’ve not heard anyone else mention it so I wanted to be sure. I just bought a new pochette metis in empreinte leather and plan to use it today for the first time 😊
Hello new subscriber here 🥰 I'm binge watching all your videos right now lol. Congrats on getting your PM! I got lucky and was able to order mine online about 3 weeks ago and to my surprise, after inspecting every nook, it was perfect condition! It was made in France March of this year so I do think they upped their quality😊
Hi. That's a nice bag. I'm looking for my first luxury handbag, and I like them all, but would like not a trendy but a classic one, so it won't go off style in couple of years)) But which one would you recommend? You have such a great taste. I'm also a mom of 1st grader, do not go to work, and live not far from you, on Long Island. I'd like a crossbody and a versatile one, preferably with handle as it adds one more point to different styles that I can wear it, that I can carry both casually for a everyday walkings with a kid and also for going to dinners or city when we have a chance to.)) I was thinking about Chanel WOC or this one or LV Croisette or YSL or Chanel Medium (I love it but this one I'm not sure if I can pull this off on a playground))... I'd really appreciate your recommendations! Hope you stay well and healthy!
Hi! For what you describe, I highly recommend the YSL toy loulou!!! It's such a great bag. It's lightweight, has nice compartments and it can be worn crossbody, on the shoulder or even as a clutch. You can fit all your daily essentials for running around with your kiddo, and you can easily dress it up too. Here's a review I did - th-cam.com/video/Ew6yHpgEc00/w-d-xo.html and the wear & tear update video - th-cam.com/video/w8cWBFBiAVc/w-d-xo.html If you prefer something with a top handle, the LV Pochette Metis or the Croisette are great options, but I don't think they dress up quite as easily. They are more casual in my opinion. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!!
@@hellocatwalkcity Hi theeere! Oh, thank you enormously for your reply! You're a lifesaver . Hope I didn't overwhelm you with my multi question. I'll gladly continue watching you wonderful videos! Seriously, thanks for that, in times like this it's important to maintain sanity and we all need a girlie distraction :) Have a good one!
Thanks for the update 😊😊, now I am more confident in the care of the bag! I finally got hold of one and she is coming next week!! So excited 😍😍 Love the patina colour of ur bag. Is there other places apart from Amazon that is selling the Apple Guard?
Beautiful I bought the reverse 1 yr ago... I love it! The only thing is the back zipper hardware the gold is fading a little. LV said they will fix it but I am just going to wait till it get worse.
I just received my PM - online order. I live in Canada. It was sent from the US to me straight from the warehouse. Aaaand my Bag is made in Italy. I feel content with that, did not want one from the US. Wondering what you’ve heard about the LV products made in Italy and how you feel about them? I’ve inspected the bag and it looks great! Now we don’t have Apple guard here in Canada so if you can recommend alternatives would really appreciate it because I will be protecting my bag :). I also think my bag is the micro chip one because I can’t find the date code
Aw yay! Congrats! I don’t own any Made in Italy LV pieces but I would think the quality is good considering Italy is generally known for its craftsmanship. I don’t know of any Apple Garde alternatives but maybe others here can chime in!
I live in Canada and found an alternative to Apple guard the brand is Collonil and it’s called Carbon Pro. Works the exact same watched a few comparison videos. Also already tried it and it’s great! 👌🏽 However you can only purchase it on amazon.
@@chanels1520 thanks for taking the time to respond. Actually I bought this on Amazon too ...did some more research myself and took a chance. Glad to hear it worked for you as well! It’s sitting in my closet and i will be treating my pochette metis this weekend :)
Hi, I am not sure if anybody has said this already but there are hardware protectors for the pochette metis (and other bags). I do not know if they work though.
Hi! Question about the plastic ball on the closure. Is that an extra that you added or does the bag come with it? I have two croisettes and they don’t have it, but would love if they did.
It is available right now in March 2020 online. I believe LV release most of their popular bag once or twice a year and limited stock. Btw, the price increase every year so buy it now before it goes up.
Yes! It is available online right now! Beautiful bag! I have the pochette metis with the red braided handle! All the metis bags are beautiful!!! Love them!!
I'd like to get this for my wife....what is the sticker price of the bag in the boutique? also, what's the going rate on the second hand market? It's a beautiful bag. thank you very much for your help.
Aww that’s sweet. The current price is listed on the LV website - it has gone up since I bought mine. It’s usually more expensive on the resale market so if you can find one in the boutique, you’d be better off. Good luck!
Oh nooo! 🤦🏻♀️ Mine has no odor except the usual canvas scent which is barely detectable. I’ve had LV pieces that had really bad chemical odor which I returned right away. Hopefully it’s not like that! Maybe try airing it out!
Vachetta is so fragile. The first time I wore my pochette Métis, it fell over face down and the leather above the front clasp now has a small scratch. I wanted to cry. No matter how you pamper them disaster strikes.
Just paid mine online around 3 hours ago.. @4am today. Cant wait! Well, in these time wer money is somehow of less value due to the pandemic i just thought why not use it in buying something that can give me self-fulfillment ..
The reverse is back in stock and about to order. Is there a glazing problems you notice? Thanks
I love the concept of a 6=month wear update. Another excellent video....thanks!

Love my Pouchette Métis. I’m going to mimic the way you store yours. It’s my only luxury piece at this time but it’s timeless. I’m so pleased with it.
Kyla Kumagai 👏
You have the most soothing voice!!! You should be in commercials or read to people😍🙂❤️😫
Thanks so much! I am definitely going to store mine like yours now. Without the box!
Thank you for sharing! 🥰 i loved the PM when i first venture to louisvuitton but unfortunately it was always out of stock. i couldnt wait for it so i search for other bag and decided to get the Clapton Pm in raisin. almost comparable with the PM minus the top handle of PM and clapton has a leather flap and strap. it's my first luxury bag and a gift from my hubby. ☺️

The Lemonade Lifestyle TLL Totally agree, it’s an amazing bag!!!
I have the empreinte noir and always keep airpaper inside😁 and take the strape off as well. i want my bags to last many years!!
Hi thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to get my bag this Christmas♥️.. can you please tell me what do you use to clean your bag?
I own the same bag and love it,mine is 2019 no problems thus far.TFS
Do you have a video on how to apply the apple guard spay?
Hi, great review. Quick question: How is the wear and tear now that it’s been 4 years. Any cracking? Thank you.
Still holding up well! 😊
@@hellocatwalkcity Thank you! 😊
I finally got mine but there’s like a circular mark on the vachetta and I was unluckily assigned an SA who didn’t know about the glazing issues for previous PMs…. Idk if I should exchange for a new one or just use it… 😞
I’m curious what is the hardware coating made of, is it gold plated or something else?
Thank you!
Very informative video--do you still love it? I'm definitely considering this bag as an everyday bag but can't decide between the leather or mono. It seems like it would be very easy to dress up or down!
Yes, very much! It’s still one of my favorite bags!
Very interesting info about the flap and more give now!! Always great videos. Thank u for sharing this!!
From Jen with Hope Thanks so much for watching! 😘
Great video! Does it help to keep the plastic sticker on the lock and prevent or minimize scratches?
Yes if you want to leave the stickers on, that could protect the hardware from scratches but I tend to remove the stickers right away bc I love to see the “naked” polish of the hardware. Also just be careful as stickers that are kept on for too long can cause oxidation of the hardware.

Yay!!! Lucky!!! Enjoy your new Pochette Métis! 🎉 Thanks for subscribing! Glad to welcome you to the group! 😉
I just got this bag and I love it! It does have some bunching in the canvas toward the bottom front corners.. is that something you’ve ever heard of?
Mine didn't have it, maybe return it to the store
Is there difference between LV bags made in Italy or made in France?
Beautiful bag . Great review. Very detailed. Thank You so much for sharing darling and have a wonderful weekend ❤️
BE FABULOUS WITH ME_IRENE Thank you dear!! 😘

Nice vid! How long have you had the bag? Because some had their bag for more than a year and their vachetta leather hasn’t darken like yours has.
That Bag Is Amazing🤗
Do both of the knobs for the lock move to release the lock? Or does only one side move?
Thanks for the update 😊😊, now I am more confident in the care of the bag!
I finally got hold of one and she is coming next week!! So excited 😍😍
Love the patina colour of ur bag. Is there other places apart from Amazon that is selling the Apple
Guard?
Yay! I don't know where else they sell the Apple Guard besides Amazon. Maybe at hardware supply stores??
hello catwalk city I managed to get it through another platform 😅😅
Hopefully it will arrive soon
Beautiful I bought the reverse 1 yr ago... I love it! The only thing is the back zipper hardware the gold is fading a little. LV said they will fix it but I am just going to wait till it get worse.
YES...Love the new cream color it’s sooo so pretty! Great vid. Can’t wait to get my PM in!! 😍💕
guru EDIT Yay!! Can’t wait for you to get yours too!! 😁

Is it true that u spray Scotchgard on the handle to protect it from water stains
I spray all my vachetta with Apple Garde!

It comes that way on the Pochette Métis! Thanks for watching!
hello catwalk city Thanks! Surprised it still scratches.
Also, I wanted to mention that your voice is like silk!
Did you buy in store? So hard to get hold of 🤷♀️ Thank you for sharing x
ELAINE KAY Yes, I bought it in the flagship store here in NYC! Waited a long time for it! 😊
It is available right now in March 2020 online. I believe LV release most of their popular bag once or twice a year and limited stock. Btw, the price increase every year so buy it now before it goes up.
Yes! It is available online right now! Beautiful bag! I have the pochette metis with the red braided handle! All the metis bags are beautiful!!! Love them!!
Will vachetta leather still patina with stain guard? I still would like it to patina. Just want to protect it from water stains. Thanks!
Yes!
@@hellocatwalkcity Yay! Thanks so much! I appreciate the reply ❤️
Did you apple guard the vachetta on the sides of the PM where the scrap attaches?
Monica Christine Yup! 😉
Just wondering how you would think a gold chain shoulder strap would look on that purse?
I'd like to get this for my wife....what is the sticker price of the bag in the boutique? also, what's the going rate on the second hand market? It's a beautiful bag. thank you very much for your help.
Aww that’s sweet. The current price is listed on the LV website - it has gone up since I bought mine. It’s usually more expensive on the resale market so if you can find one in the boutique, you’d be better off. Good luck!
@@hellocatwalkcity thank you so much for your help and the tips....stay well and healthy
Thanks
My metis has a really bad odour and i use it occasionally. Do u have the same problem? I bought it last year.
Oh nooo! 🤦🏻♀️ Mine has no odor except the usual canvas scent which is barely detectable. I’ve had LV pieces that had really bad chemical odor which I returned right away. Hopefully it’s not like that! Maybe try airing it out!
10:17 you accidentally called your mini pochette a pochette metis and I was like ... thats so me!! 😂
Oh whoops! 🤦🏻♀️ Too many “pochettes” 😂
Wow so nice... I love to have one but...... Stay con
Vachetta is so fragile. The first time I wore my pochette Métis, it fell over face down and the leather above the front clasp now has a small scratch. I wanted to cry. No matter how you pamper them disaster strikes.
I wish so much I never sold mine!!!
From Jen with Hope You sold yours?😯 Why?
hello catwalk city I know I know!!! WAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
From Jen with Hope 😭
Omg your voice! You sound a lot like Christina Aguilera!
Wow thank you!
Beautiful hands😊
Thank you! ☺️
