I'm looking for a Vuitton wallet for my birthday and I don't know which to choose... I want a simple one, not multicolored or in denim...
Anybody can help me?

 

[jun3machina]

i like the long one, the continental i think it's called....but i think it depends on the size of bag you normally carry. if you carry small bags generally, you may want to get a smaller billfold wallet...

 

[Kate_Moore]

Thanks, I'll look for that wallet.

if you're looking for simple, have a look at the LV epi leather line of accessories, such as the billfold. epi has no logos like the monogram (except for one, embossed in a corner), but the leather is so very luxurious and will last you FOREVER. give it a try!

Could someone please help a L.V imbesil?? When an add referes to a speedy 25 as being made of "cowhide trim and monogram cavas", does this mean that the bag itself is made of fabric (canvas) and the only leather attached is the trim??
Forgive me my ignorance but Ive never had the opportunity to check this myself...Yet

^ yes the monogram canvas speedy bags are actually canvas bags with leather trim/handles as far as I know If you want a full leather speedy try the nomade or Epi lines.

 

[ELLE_ME]

Thank you Noriko Ive tried to find out by looking at pics of the speedy`s, but I cant really tell..They look like leather but thats maybe because the canvas is threated with some kind of layer or something?

You're welcome

Yes, its coated canvas. Have you been able to go try them out yet? It totally feels like canvas too!

 

[ELLE_ME]

Ah no, not yet..Nobody where I live sells Louis Vuitton..BUT, Im travelig in Italy this summer, maybe then..Ive thought about buying one on Ebay, but I dont want to end up buying a fake one.

 

[jun3machina]

yes, the classic monogram line is a textured coated (plastic coated) canvas with leather trim. in the case of the speedy's, the handles, tabs and piping are the only leather parts

 

[ELLE_ME]

Thank you jun3machina, I guess ive overlooked the info about theese bags earlier..Ive always asumed it was made of solid leather..Ah well,I think their still classy

 

[jun3machina]

i still think they're classy and the coated canvas makes them very durable as well as waterproof. case in point: i was washing my hands yesterday and my LV tango slid off my arm under the running water. i gasped, then remembered they're practically waterproof. ran a papertowel over it, just like new....

 

[Street_a_Licious]

I never understood what people like about Epi. To me, it looks too mid-90's.

My fav for ages has been the Nomade line. Want a full leather Vuitton bag? Suhali and Nomade are the ONLY way to go (cause they seriously overcharge for plastic covered canvas).

 

[kkesh]

people like Epi because it's a full leather bag that doesn't show scratches and can withstand the rain unlike Nomade. i like both of them equally.

 

[sweet_n_simple]

I think a red Epi speedy will be my very first designer handbag

 

[jun3machina]

the epi IRL is really rather stunning actually. subdued and textured
