They told me it was going to be 4 to 6 months on the waitlist, but it ended up only being about 2, which was a nice surprise. I’ve also known folks who stalked the Louis Vuitton website and saw it become available for purchase online. If neither of those strategies work, you can always go the preloved route .
The strap, the sides and the top handle are not imprinted. Aside from light pink, Pochette Metis in Empreinte leather is also available in colours such as Black, Scarlett , Cherry Berry , Dune , Marine Rouge , Crème , to name just a few. You’d think that with it being a luxury item the quality will be second to none and in my case it is. There are no imperfections in the quality of my bag, the leather placement is in the correct place, the patterns align throughout the bag. The gold hardware is a high shine finish which I prefer and the rear zipper is smooth.
There are still good reasons to purchase this bag despite all the cracks, glazing issues. I wanted a bag that was roomy enough for my camera and all my general junk – so that’s where the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis came in. The Pochette Métis can fit an absolute ton, but keep in mind, if you stock it full of heavy items, it is obviously going to get heavy. Even so, the canvas is light to begin with, which helps with the weight. I have no trouble using the clasp to easily get in and out of the bag.
But arguably, its success has also become its worst enemy. Due to the lasting popularity, the bag has become somewhat overexposed and can be seen virtually everywhere. And what becomes commonplace, eventually loses its charm, no matter how beautiful it might be. The boyish charm of Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis has been captivating the hearts of fashionistas for nearly a decade.
I’ve worn this bag to weddings, to events, to the PNE, and more. It doesn’t fit a ton, but I don’t carry much with me so it fits all of my necessities. I purchased this for C$1,770 and it now retails for C$2,160. I cannot speak highly enough of this bag and I can see why it is one of their best sellers.
Well, to be honest, none of the pricing of the Louis Vuitton coated canvas items makes any sense to me. Let’s discuss the ins and outs of this expensive and popular little bag in this Pochette Metis review. There are situations where you may be unable to go through each detailed step explained above when you need to authenticate your Louis Vuitton Metis bag.
The bag is exactly as I expected and even better in terms of visual impact once worn. After about 6 or more uses, the leather will begin to soften and expand for a little to accommodate more stuff. The strap is adjustable which makes it perfect for any height or body type, and this size is totally perfect for me. With my busy lifestyle, I definitely wear this bag crossbody the most, and it’s super easy to go with literally every outfit I own, and can be worn both casually or more dressed up. I wear this both with and without the strap, depending on the look I am going for and love it either way. I haven’t worn it a ton, but it surprisingly fits more than it looks and it’s so unique, and chic.
In fact, the replica Louis Vuitton Metis bag’s “LOUIS VUITTON” text is too big, too thick, and generally too bulky when compared to teh real deal. Speaking of which, the authentic bag’s text is visibly smaller and thinner. The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity, but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item.
