Louis Vuitton: Damier vs Monogram

chocsta · 04-04-2004

I am buying an LV Papillon 30 and would like your advice... I am 21 and it will be for everyday use

Opinions are greatly appreciated!

without a doubt the monogram.

i find the damier awful for some reason.

maybe cause the leather trims are dark

Damier definitely! Monogram is too common, who doesn't have a monogram LV bag(except me)!

Neither... I prefer those colourful vernis bedford bags.

I prefer damier over monogram. But for some reason I find the monogram is more versatile, even though they're both brown?! Probably because I'm more used to seeing the monogram (mis)matched with anything! :P

Damier. Mono is so disgustingly popular. Whether everyone's is real or fake, they are everywhere, and it is obnoxious for everyone to have your bag. Damie is elegantly chic, and you will actually get more use out of it beacause the straps (unlike those of vachetta ones on mono bags) are totally resistant to almost any stain.

I love Vernis

, but this is going to replace my Monogram Speedy for everyday use, so I need something that will go with pretty much anything

Monogram Glace

Prince, they don't have the Papillon in Glace :P

PrinceOfCats · 04-04-2004

Aha, subtle hint not to buy the papillon at all...

Plumour · 04-04-2004

I definitely prefer Papillon in Damier and that's why I got mine in Damier

I actually really love Damier, just love how the handles are that rich dark brown on Damier pieces

It seems like the goldware also stands out more on the Damier?
