    If LV deemed your original bag defective then in my opinion they should have replaced it without putting you on a waiting list

      They put pressure on you to get something else. I personally figured this out. My lv wallet was deemed defective and I decided then that I did not want the wallet again as I didn't want to chance it so I opted to use the store credit towards the mini palm spring. I knew the waitlist was over a year and they confirmed that saying it will be a long time. I stuck to my guns and got on the 'waitlist'..... the next week or a couple days later, called me to say it's in store for me.
      Those with defective products are bumped up to the top. It is their way of indirectly saving face without coming across as a suck up I guess lol hardcore

      Very true! I just returned my Palm Springs Mini for a reason that for them didn’t make sense, for me yes. It was slightly deformed and not sitting straight. Anyways, I returned it and directly they ordered a new one for me and was kept for me a few extra days while I was on vacation and couldn’t pick it up. Once you already bought the item, the replacement shouldn’t involve the initial process of finding and buying it again!

    I'm not into fashion, nor do I care for it. But Stella works hard for her money and if she's not happy with a purchase, regardless of what others think, it's within her right to return it. Whether it cost $5 or $2500. And that's all that needs to be said.

      Well, the pocket should have round corners. It's in the design and most bags have perfect corners. Some don't, they are not well made. The artisans clearly have lower skills than they used to and the QC is also off. A bag that price should be perfect.

    This bag seems to be filled with so many issues. I get the popularity, but LV needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to fix the quality. I’d rather they discontinue this bag, fix the issues, and then come out with something new that is similar rather than keep making the same bag that have handles that are messed up, glazing problems, etc.

      Just get to know the design, the defect is so much more obvious when you know what it's supposed to look like. The pocket should have round corners. Besides, those sharp edges in the corners will probably make the canvas wear out sooner than a round edge so the bag won't hold as well.

These stores tend to be franchises. The only places you guarantee authenticity is in European or North American stores.

    Seems like the style bag is just so hard to make with consistency. There are a lot of parts. Even with all the issues, I’d still buy the bag but I think that contributes to the problem of telling Vuitton that the bag is in demand and to keep making it when in reality, the style and way it’s made should probably warrant it to be discontinued. Congratulations on your new bag!!!! It’s gorgeous hun. 🥰❤️🎊🎉

    Hi dear Stella, I'm sure you love your husband to the moon and back; but never, never make a quick decision on purchasing an expensive item, just because he's a little bored at the store! He'll get over it 😉😂! Take your time, inspect the item, and if everything is fine, you decide to buy it (or not, as you wish). But no pressure, neither from sales associates (some are amazing and encourage you to put all your stuff into your maybe-soon-to-be new bag, some are in a hurry to get you to purchase the item), nor from your husband or a friend who's in a hurry and so on. Always take your time 😊!
    Love your enthusiasm 💕!

    You should have kept the Pochette Metis. I purchased the same bag you ended up with and so glad I bought from saks and had 30 days to return. I wore it straight for 3 weeks to see if anything went wrong. I wore it by the shoulder or cross body 90% of the time to see how the strap would wear as I was concerned the way it was attached right on the back of the bag right to the canvas. Well sure enough in 3 weeks it started to pull up the canvas! LvLover bought this bag too and returned it with the same concern. It would have been a nice size bag but they should have put brass rings on the sides to hold the strap.

    The corners r not a big problem, it’s not obvious at all. It’s made partially by hand, by human, not 100 percent machine made. So there is some “imperfection” which is very understandable. And this doesn’t affect your usage, doesn’t affect the look, plus it was the turning point of the stitch. You are right the way to open the pochette Métis is not as easy as the other bag you exchanged to, but that way it actually makes it more secure, there is pros and cons.

    I haven't even finished watching the full video and already I can tell your experience was somewhat similar to mine although mine turned into a bit of a saga. I was on a waiting list for the Keepall for two weeks and a half only to receive a faulty item (marks on the hardware and leather creasing on the handles) then entered into a 2 months saga of emails/calls, lost UPS parcel, returns, replacements and finally last month I decided to call it quits. We as customers are better informed than the people they have working the CS numbers. Granted part of the carousel of stories and at times what seems like lies, is tactical just like their waiting list game but the bottom line is that they are a global company that hasn't yet figured out how to successfully operate globally in this day and age and the brand policies are a spit in the customer's face at best.
    I have shopped with LV for a while now (although I don't hoard bags) but this last experience is probably enough to never ever again choose to give LV my money only to be treated this way. At an initial 3000% profit per item, these bags are some of the cheapest to make with the only thing that used to set them apart being the craftsmanship and attention to detail which has gone out the window almost a decade ago and left us (the customers) having to deal with the mess of it all.
    With more corners cut (yes, pun intended in relation to your experience) every year and the 'high street' feel LV has nowadays with every college student wearing a Neverfull at the mall, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up with Michael Kors "status" soon!
    Long rant over. Not usually an active YT comment section user but had to comment on this one. Hope you're enjoying Abu Dhabi. My partner moved to Dubai a few months ago whilst I'm still based in the UK albeit I can work remotely - a bit of a similar story :)

    I too wanted the Pochette Métis but it’s impossible to find so I too got the Marignan as my first LV bag and I love it. I wrapped my handle in Monogram Confidential Bandeau and it takes the bag to a super classy look. I highly recommend the bag and the bandeau.

  • @kayd8925
    @kayd8925 5 років тому +2

    I was considering whether or not to add the Pochette Metis to my collection because it is a really cute bag, but after hearing about all of the issues with it, I think I like the Marignan more!
    Also, I didn't know about the heart shaped bag!
    Thanks for making this video! 😀💗

    Stella love watching your videos. I just bought the pochette metis reverse. It’s my favorite bag ever! Love love love it. Give this bag another chance. I was in the store for something else and had just told the SA to put me on the list for it when she casually place the reverse on the counter. She thought I only wanted the monogram one! I was so happy to see it and I love that the reverse has a black handle instead of the vachetta leather that patinas. I just traveled with this bag and it’s perfect. I checked the corners very carefully thanks to your video and those were not a problem. Bonus no one has this purse in comparison with the neverfull. The neverfull seems like they counterfeit so much I will never buy one. If I am going to spend this kind of money on a purse I will endeavor to get the most unusual one I can get my hands on.

    I like the one you got in exchange. I had issues with my pochette Metis as well...wish I'd returned it because it makes me sad especially considering the price. I almost got the Marignan last time I was in the store but I wish the strap was thicker. I don't like the thin strap at all for such a large bag.

  • @CassandraReneeXOXO
    @CassandraReneeXOXO 5 років тому

    Almost every PM is made like that, so honestly it was nothing wrong with your bag and your old one was probably like that too but hey it’s your money and choice so hey I get it. My PM has similar corners and it’s because of the inner pocket...doesn’t bother me as you can’t tell unless you’re staring and running your fingers around the bottom of the bag which I don’t have time to do everyday...

    The pocket in the back is meant to be more flat while the front pocket is meant to hold more. THAT is why the edges aren’t ‘as round,’ but okay.

  • @mrsang4802
    @mrsang4802 5 років тому

    I originally had the PM and purchased it the week it punched in 2013. The original had an extra pocket inside, I loved that bag! I can’t remember when the glazing-dye issues started but I ignored them just to hold on to my bag because the newer bags were different. Well the dye issues became so bad I no longer carried the bag and it was depositing sticky ink on the keepsake bag. I just received a call to take it in along with another piece, and they were both made in France. I reluctantly got an updated beautiful PM in Empreinte ( sans my extra pocket) and she (so far) seems pristine and she was made in the USA. None of my USA bags have ever had issues. I’m starting to rethink me love for “Made in France” only policy. Btw, I miss my original PM😢😢.

    I purchase a Louis Vuitton bag a few years ago that cost $2,400.00 , the studs started falling after a few months. My boyfriend went to the Short Hills Malls to question the bag and he was told to send it to Rego Brothers in Morristown that they would not fix it. I went to Rego Brothers and the owner asked me if the bags was real and I showed him the receipt from Louis Vuitton Short Hills Mall, I was really embarrassed and his response was it was made very CHEAP. Regards Maria

  • @isabella80808
    @isabella80808 5 років тому

    *Agree. My mom owns this bag. I quickly looked at it and one corner has slight. The corner-roundness should be finesse and not crumpled but nicely stitched from the inside so that the outside's fold is smooth. My made in France NM Pochette Acessoire too has that slight crumpled stitching by the pipping. I just learned how to accept it, lol. I mean for the price and for the luxury brand, those fold-stitching (on this and other models) should be finesse and not crumpled but nicely rounded. Hello to LV quality control! Hopefully they're listening to their ever loyal patrons. Thanks for the upload and sharing your experience, Stella. Good luck on your new fab Louis Vuitton bag! I'm pretty sure that one day you will bump in again to a more perfect(?) Pochette Metis...as they say, third time's a charm? ;- )*

  • @OlesyaBagStory
    @OlesyaBagStory 5 років тому

    To be honest I do not see an issue at all! Back is better, because it is flat, and in front you have compartment and hand stitched, that s why it is not 100% perfection, which is normal for hand work.

  • @erinmiyakawa4316

    Yes, I also believe it’s because there is a pocket in the front. I have a monogram one and my corners aren’t round either. But hey, if it bothers you, return it, it’s very expensive for you not to be satisfied. But I do not believe it’s a defect.

    I ordered my Pochette Metis from their website in AUG of 2018, mine is the original monogram canvas and was made in Italy. It's beautiful and so far I've had great luck with it! After watching your video I even went to look at it again to make sure and I didn't see any of the same problems you had! I first saw the bag when I started watching your channel and fell in love with it! That said, it makes me SO sad you had so many issues with yours because it is such a great bag and I remember you getting it from Bart right before your wedding!! I wonder if because their purses are made in different countries if the quality sadly suffers since there might not be any continuity. However, your new LV bag is super cute and who knows maybe one day you'll be a proud pochette metis mother again (; (; Glad you're loving Abu Dhabi!
