The Different Louis Vuitton Canvas Types
Typically, your first Louis Vuitton handbag is going to be the most used, and therefore it’s wise to invest in darker leather trim and brown or darker canvas Louis Vuitton options.
All canvases are waterproof and durable and are trimmed with leather.
Monogram canvas: This is the most recognizable and busier canvas with the clear Louis Vuitton logo print. Almost all Louis Vuitton bags are available in this canvas. And no, the rumors are not true, Louis Vuitton is not going to discontinue this canvas (ever). This print is not always available as Louis Vuitton is a luxury brand and does not manufacture this print or any of its prints on demand. This keeps the brand more exclusive as not everyone can get their hands on their supply. Quantities of this canvas are raised during Christmas.
Damier Ebene Canvas: Understated brown check with dark brown squares. This is actually Louis Vuitton’s original print however it is less popular than the Monogram print.
Damier Azur Canvas: Another check option of lighter color – this option does discolor over time, so not the best option to print for a first-time Louis Vuitton bag.
Vernis Leather: Glossy Leather
Epi Leather: Hard, thick, textured, and structured leather.
Empreinte Leather: Soft with embossed Louis Vuitton Logo
Multicolor monogram: No longer available in Louis Vuitton stores since 2015.
Louis Vuitton also comes in various leather options and less common denim options.
There are four interior options namely: Vuittonite, Cross Grain leather, Canvas, and Alcantra microfiber the trims available are Vachetta Leather which is the lighter leather option, and Coated Leather which is dark and a better option if you prefer using the handles of your Louis Vuitton bag as the Vachetta leather does wear and becomes darker over time, which some buyers do prefer. The darkening of the trims is referred to as Patina on Louis Vuitton bags.
