Buying your first Louis Vuitton purse is like buying your first car. You want something that will last but also has to be that perfect colour, style, etc. When i was ready to make my first ever Louis Vuitton purchase i was faced with many questions and debates. What style would i get? Which canvas should i go for? After several days of debating, i finally decided on the Speedy 30. It's the perfect size handbag to take anywhere, and also a classic. I was even more excited about this style when i read that it was originally designed for Audrey Hepburn! The canvas on the other hand took me weeks to decided on. I narrowed my choice down to the Monogram and Damier Ebene. They're both beautiful designs; however they both had pros and cons. Here's what my list looked like before i decided on which design to get:
Monogram
- Pros
- Most popular Louis Vuitton print
- Leather patina's into beautiful golden brown colour
- Classic and Timeless
- Can be worn for all seasons - Cons
- High Maintenance
- Non-water resistant
- Can be stained easily
- Leather can patina unevenly if stained
- Several knock-offs on the market
Damier Ebene
- Pros
- Low Maintenance
- Water Resistant
- Has Red Lining
- Louis Vuitton's very first canvas design
- Appropriate for the workplace - Cons
- Basic Print
- Looks best with fall/ winter outfits
After weeks of looking at this list and debating, i finally decided on the Speedy 30 in the Monogram canvas. I found that the Damier Ebene was more appropriate for the Canadian weather; however, the monogram is a classic print and goes well everything. In the end, i believe that it comes down to personal preference. They're both beautiful prints and you can't go wrong with either one. Choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and personal style.
