I hate it no offense to anyone it’s just so basic. It’s not unique enough the bag I bought was really sparkly maybe it just goes in my personality I’m unique like that. 🤦♀️😂 I’m a channel or Dior gal but don’t own one.
I have this same bag and the 2 screws on each side of the lock - they are always loose and I have to constantly tighten them. Well, one fell out and I cant find it. Im so ill. Is this a common issue - will they replace it at no charge?
Awww the Pochette Métis is one of my all-time faves! I bought a Made in France one new in boutique in 2019 and zero issues, thankfully. With that being said, I waited over a year to ride out the quality issues. This is a bag I wouldn’t recommend buying preloved as many on the preloved market have issues, unfortunately. Also, I looove the back pocket for my phone. I’m surprised to hear you say you can’t fit your phone. 😳 I spray all my vachetta with Apple Garde right away to prevent water marks and stains, and it patinas nice and evenly. Finally, I’m obsessed with the micro suede interior. Mine hasn’t picked up any stains or dirt and still looks clean. Love love love this bag! 💕
Agree with you. It is a good bag and the back pocket is roomy enough to put phone etc. she is complaining an old preloved bag... and of course it is dirty. The previous owner didn’t use it carefully.
@@MarieKhris8 I got 2 that was made in France and I also got 1 made in Italy and another one made in USA which is the worst of all 4 PM that I received. I had to go through 4 PM to find the perfect one. Luckily the perfect one was made in France. They were all online purchase through the website.
This was really interesting. I have the leather version and love it so much I now have two. All of the problems you are having with the canvas version haven’t happened to me with the leather ones. The locks are perfect and are only difficult to close when they are empty. As soon as I put anything in them they close perfectly every time. The canvas lining is still clean despite having had very heavy usage for several years. The glazing is fine as the leather is soft and bends with it. The back pocket holds my iPhone 11 in its hard case easily because the leather stretches. Not by a big amount but enough to be useful. The top handle is such a good feature. I agree that it was never meant to be carried that way but it is very handy for picking the bag up in awkward places, such as in the car. If I pick it up by the strap it bangs around and could get scratched. I also feel that the canvas version is very limited in terms of usage. It’s strictly casual. Whereas the leather ones can be worn with everything from casual through daytime dressy into non formal evenings. I find it to be easily my favourite and most worn high end designer bag.
I have this bag for almost 3 years now and it’s a wonderful bag especially for traveling. The back pocket fits my passport with the LV passport case. So it is definitely useful. During pandemic, I can easily put back my face mask. About the lock, yes it is troublesome only if I carry more than I should. Other than that, this is a great investment. Casual or formal, I can go with Metis Pochette
I’ve had this bag for four years and have used it daily. Favorite bag I’ve ever had. It perfect size, great organization, back pocket fits my iPhone. I think it’s a gem ❤
I have this bag in reverse mono and I don’t have the vacetta problem. I bought it about 1.5 years. I love it, even though, I don’t use it as much as I should. I believe the inside is kind of suede material, so it attracts a lot of dust. I was lucky to find it in the store. Agreed with you for the price now and quality, I don’t think I want to purchase it again. Thank you for the video 💖💖💖
At first I hated this bag. Then it grew on me, so I purchased it. I liked it for a while but it started to feel heavy when I was wearing it out. When the tip of my lock started tarnishing, that was it! I decided to get rid of it and replaced it with a gorgeous pre-love Chanel mini flap bag which I love!
No issues with mine! My phone and card case go in the back pocket. Trick is not to overstuff the bag. I saw a woman with a Pochette Métis bursting at the seams and that is so wrong. Sorry you are so unhappy with it but understand due to the amount paid.
Love mine- no issues at all- need to use a small pouch as a catch all for makeup or little items. Had zero issues with keeping the inside clean. The latch can be a little difficult if nothing is in the front pocket.
I absolutely love this bag I have it about 5 years now and it's my most used bag. In fact I just got another one this year in another pattern that's how much I loved it.
My lock is crooked too and I have the same issue with closing it. I have never used the back pocket. I bought mine new from the LV boutique and still adore my bag. I’m happy to put up with the lock, I can’t be bothered having it looked at.
This bag was not designed to be carried on your wrist It’s a mini messenger bag style, hence the long cross body strap The top handle fits this type of design and it’s meant to be carried just as is. Each LV design has its own purpose
I know this is a very popular and well loved bag even with its faults but it’s never done anything for me. I know it’s very functional but it’s just the look of it that does nothing for me. That being said, LV is still one of my favourite brands but I just wish they’d put a freeze on their prices for a few years.😥
Lol I just purchased the Monogram Reverse one. Everything is fine and it's pretty easy to open and close. I don't care if the top handle is not for carrying the bag around. I just use it for grabbing the Pochette. It's really crazy that it is still so expensive on the pre sale market cause it is available without any waiting list. Maybe because of covid and people still don't know about this? I don't know. My SA had it withing 1 day. I always wanted one but I had no interest in waiting lists and waiting for months. So happy that I could resist and did not buy a pre loved one. Saved me money and got a brand new one :-D
I have this bag and the only issue that I have is the glazing, I’ve had 3 pochette Métis in 2 years but other than that I love that this bag goes with everything, and I use the back pocket to put my phone into and it definitely fits no problem. Also I find that it’s super easy to get in and out of
I recently got the PM as my first designer bag and I can't complain. I have sprayed the Vachetta and it looks really nice. The back pocket I sometimes use for my phone (the zipper on the back pocket is not the smoothest but it doesn't bother me). I absolutely love this bag 😍
@@HelloSoniaOrtiz I used Collonil Carbon Pro, ordered it from Amazon. As far as I know, Apple Guard is really popular in the US, but it was more difficult to order here in Europe. Therefore I went with Collonil because I saw it on a german youtuber (Lesley Adina). Congratulations on your new bag! 😍
@@elmam2033 I’m in rainy Europe and I have a few new LV’s and an Mulberry Alexa I don’t wear because of the weather. I want to try collonil, does it work? I really want to wear them so badly.
@@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218 Hi, I'm in Europe too. I used Colonil and it works perfect. I have no watermarks so far, even though I have been caught in the rain sometimes. Try it :) xoxo
@@elmam2033 You are a Star 🌟 I usually just use my older LV’s that are quite dark but I’m dating and my newer bags are in heavy rotation. I’ll get some today. Thank you so much Beautiful 😘
Just bought the Pochette Metis and was lucky enough to get a perfect one, it was a used one that wasn't exchanged by someone else, so I know there was nothing wrong with the stitching or glazing or anything and it was made only 3 months ago :) soooo happy!!
I had the PM in the reverse monogram, and I just sold it today. I wear a lot of black and dark colors, and since the reverse mono is on the back (with the regular mono on the front), it was susceptible to color transfer. I've seen people say that their PM reverse bags have gotten ruined by jeans, so it just wasn't something that I reached for a lot. Then, when it comes to lighter colors -- like summer floral dresses -- the monogram logo seemed to clash, or it seemed to casual to go with solid color, prettier dresses. So after wearing the bag only once over the 18 months, I sold it. I think it would be a smart choice for someone who wears a lot of lighter colored, solid fabrics, but I don't regret selling it. Plus, in Los Angeles, monogram is starting to look...dare I say...cheap and overplayed...unless it's in the newest, hard-to-find bag (like the multipohcette accessoires...for now). Thanks for your honest video!!!
You used "contemplating" perfectly. In the "crook of your arm." Your English is amazing/no accent. I would never have guessed it's not your first language.
I agree, I’ve noticed you’re insecure with your English but I only realized you speak a different language because you mentioned translating from German. You sound perfect though!
Wow this video really surprised me! I love my Pochette Metis. I bought a pre- loved 2019 bag for under retail, it has no glazing issues, the lock is straight and I have no problem closing it, the back pocket fits my phone perfectly with no bulging and the interior is pristine although I’ve used it loads! I also tie a bandeau round the handle so it only has a very light patina and I usually wear it crossbody or hand held - not usually a crook of the arm person so don’t mind that. I’m in the UK and have a made in France one so I don’t know if that makes a difference. It sounds like you have been unlucky with yours - maybe the overall quality is not up there like it should be 😢😢😢😘😘😘
I ended up buying this bag about a year ago and returning it because the stitching on the side was already coming out and I haven't even worn the bag and it was "brand new" from LV

I LOVE mine! I really don’t have any issues. The only thing is the interior back pocket is almost flat, so I put like tissues or receipts in it. I use the back pocket to store my phone and that’s it.
I bought it in the empriente leather in black and I love it. I saw another you tubers review and those reasons were why I got the leather. I don’t have any of those issues. My bag is from 2018. I wonder if the softness of the leather makes it easier to close and I use the back pocket. Also the leather material is not suede so that helps but I have samorga inserts. I love the monogram but I’m glad I didn’t get it.
How is your empreinte bag holding up? I was thinking about getting the black one, but then an influencer on Instagram said that hers was aging terribly, so she wanted to sell it before it was too late.
@@MarniMedia Depending how one wears it/ how overstuffed the bag is daily. Leather can stretch but mine is fine. I do see a lot of sagging on the front flap on the pre-loved bags due to leather softness. Canvas is stiffer.
I bought this bag, and only wore it once, and ended up returning it because I discovered that the canvas was buckled (not flat) in the back. It was just before COVID, which was annoying because I had to hold on to it for several weeks. I was going to exchange for a new one, but I ended up falling out of love with it mostly because I realized it was a little too big for me and I thought I wouldn’t end up using it very often. It’s also pricey bag for just canvas, so I wanted to make sure I loved it if I was to keep it. I have no regrets. After watching your video I’m even more glad I returned it. Thanks!
Yes,,,,, your right,,, I went to LV store yesterday I almost get one, but my concerning is first it’s to soft the bag not stand up , second the dock is going to be broken in future the price is $2575.00 yesterday and I decided not to get it I got some new bag I pay $3200.00 and I love it Thank you for sharing good advice 👍👏
I have the updated 2020 model and they have addressed and corrected all of the issues with the old models.....the back pocket is great and very roomy.... it fits my iPhone Pro Max as well as my coin purse with no noticeable bulk.... it locks very easily. You may want to upgrade to the new model... I LOVE my bag and it is great for travel.... it’s my go to when traveling through airports 🥰
@@Maria-xg9ob the inside patch will indicate where it’s made..... my bag is made in France ...... I ordered it from LV Fashion Valley ........ if you are looking to make future purchases ask for Michaella
I bought the monogram last fall from NY Macy’s and mine is perfect without any imperfections! 😍😍You might have a defected one. I would’ve exchanged it if I were you.
I first got the monogram, but then after contemplating, I realized that it doesn’t fit my style. For some reason, the monogram overpowers my entire outfit for this kind of bag. I have the PSM in monogram but for some reason, it fits my wardrobe more. Kinda hard to explain lol. I sold it and got the empreinte leather in tourterelle. And I LOVE IT! My every day school bag. I don’t baby my bags and the leather is pretty care free. I also love the discreetness of empreinte leather which makes it easier to blend in and make my outfits more coherent.
I do not have this bag but I do like it. I just don’t think it would work for me though. For what you paid for that bag, you shouldn’t have any issues with that lock on the front. If that was me I would have LV repair it but that’s me. Thank you for being so honest about that bag.
My lock is crooked too with no glazing issues. I even noticed if I don't stuff the front compartment of the bag, its so hard to close. The best solution for closing the lock easily is to stuff the front compartment. I usually put my mini pochette or makeup pouch in there as a cushion for the lock and it closes easily.
I bought mine after the hype and the first one I had was having glazing issues so I sold it but then I missed it. I bought it 2nd hand on FB page LV Addicted then I sold it coz I didn't like that I was the 2nd owner. I bought it online last year in December but they sent me one that had quality issues so I returned it. Luckily the next day, it was back online for me to buy and I went ahead and order it and finally got it in perfect condition. I have the reverse mono BTW and I really love it!

Wow, sounds like it took you a Little bit to get the perfect one. Glad you did 😘
As a practitioner in the luxury industry, I really can't tell you that the luxury processing factories you usually buy are basically the same as the manufacturers of KKUWAN
girl i go on dh gate (cuuz im poor) to look for this bag and id read reviews and they all say how to the lock is crooked. id go to Lv and have your bag checked cuz u mightve gotten scammed
i bought this bag brand new last October and have the same exact issue with the front symmetry being really off. the flap looks completely crooked when closed and it bothers me every time I look at it. i see others' photos and reviews of their PMs and get so jealous of how the monogram print aligns perfectly where the flap meets the body. I thought I was the only one with the crooked defect because I couldn't find anyone else on youtube with the same issue. thanks for sharing your honest complaints! now I know I'm not alone. (i still love the bag despite its flaws...I just try not to think about how much I spent on an imperfect bag lol )
I have this bag and have gotten sooo much use from it. I really do love it and I thankfully haven’t had any of these issues. What a shame about your lock, though. That would annoy me, too.
I bought this bag from the Louis Vuitton Florida about 2 years ago . I believe everything you say . I think the hype is overrated. And the bag is definitely over priced . I think I paid about 1600.00 now the price is crazy. It’s definitely NOT worth it.
I have this bag also and it’s great. I agree with the inside material. It does tend to get a little dirty and things to tend to stick to it. Thanks for sharing.
It’s crook of your arm. I tried this bag in store and didn’t like it. My husband took one look at it and said it was too small. I ended up with a Coach Cassie and LOVE it.
I Think it sometimes depends on what you are putting in the bag sometimes you can straighten it out so it doesn’t look so crooked ☺️🤗but yes it is a very nice bag but it is bad that it not perfect to that price tag😳😳
I have two of these bags. One reverse monogram and one on empreinte. I have not had any of these problems with either one. I never use the top handle to carry it, I use the strap it comes with.
I have this bag. I push the bag down above the vachetta tab and use my other finger down on the clip into the lock. When you are wearing it works perfect and I can open it one handed. I always make sure to have something flat (card case, key cles, zippy coin purse in that pocket) and when I close it ....no problem!
"You could fit a letter" 😂😂😂 I have the new big iPhone with a Popsocket and mine fits. Ooooo the top handle. I wish it was bigger too!!! It would be so nice! Lydia Millen just posted a pic on IG with her arm through it...noooooo idea how she did it haha. I love how mushy your bag looks
This is my fav lux bag because it's so easy to open and close. Im sure it's just because of the crooked lock. I find the Gucci dionysus annoying because the lock is so hidden and kinda awkward.
I bought it on 2018 and the glaze started peeling off on 2019. LV fixed it no problem. The opening and closing is easy yours is difficult more than likely cause of the defect. LV should fix it. I problem. Back pocket fits my iPhone and is easy in and out. Handle is meant as a grab and go. Very functional when getting it out of your car 😊 Interior is great!!!! Depends on what you carry it will get dirty or not. I would say the bag is almost perfect lol just get it fix with LV when starts peeling
I have this bag, and I don’t have any of those problems. And I never have trouble closing it with the buckle in the front. And I keep my iPhone X in the back pocket. So I still love this purse!
Currently contemplating returning for a refund after THREE exchanges due to quality. Yes, that means I'm sitting with the 4th bag and yes, it's flawed. A royal pain - but a first-world problem, right? Agreed - why is the lock so counter-intuitive? All of your notes are valid. Agreed - why is the lock so counter-intuitive? Yikes! The interior is very disappointing. I will also add the following: the lock scratches easily. I'd love to hear your thoughts now that you've owned yours - how has that held up? All in all, this bag does not justify the cost. The lack of attention to detail (i.e. quality and UX) is why I am returning it.
I bought mine before it was popular and used it sparingly. I ending up selling it with no regrets. When the Coach Cassie came out in the burgundy color I bought
Yes, it is hard to open and close. I still use it though! And the back pocket is small and I don't use it because whatever I put in it shows. The top handle, I know what you're saying but I kind of use it as a clutch so I'm okay with it. Overall, I'm glad I have it and it's a good length for a crossbody for me.
Hi! I just recently purchased my metis reverse. I would like to know the s-lock , does the right side really doesnt move at all? The left one is the only thing thats slides when i open the bag. Thanks
I just got mine a weeks ago from LV online, and I love it so much everything its great, the only one make me confuse is don’t have the tag date on back zipper, purchases $2,050.00
I have to say goodbye to my pochette and decided not to get the same style because of the issue of the glacing!i love it but i dont want to have experienced the same issue again so decided to change it to Beau Marchais
I don’t like my graceful Louis Vuitton bag. I got it because I didn’t want another never full and the graceful handal is just so thick and uncomfortable and it’s a slouchy bag so it doesn’t stand up it just flops....Not enough space to put it on my underarm. I just don’t like it. But it’s my wedding gift so I must keep it forever lol. Maybe I’ll change my mind in a few years when I haven’t worn it for a while and it’ll be new to me again. Don’t know lol. 🙄should of got a never full.
I have had my neverfull for a little over a year and the handles are a mess. I called LV and they told me I have to take it to the store for an assessment. I think a Nine West bag would last more than a year. I really hope they do a complimentary repair.
I actually prefer the Coach Cassie. The PM is a nice bag, but there are so many other great designer bags on the market, I don’t get why everyone & her/ his mother seems to own it this one.
My lock on my Reverse isn’t straight Either 😒 it was really hard to get that reverse, so I didn’t want to return it! Also it has to be full for it to Close! My Bergamo is the same 😒
I had issues with my Rev Mono PM lock (same closure and opening issues you mentioned) and had them repair it. It took almost 6+ weeks for it to return. But it came back perfectly! Just go to the store and ask :)
Angelique, I love your videos! You are so real, raw and honest, thank you! You make up look is always stunning and I so appreciate how you always list below your make up look. (Very you tubers do this 😔) I wanted to ask you a quick question... you often wear the YSL Ambiguous Beige... it always looks absolutely stunning on you!!! Do you find it very long lasting? Thank you 💋😊💓
