Hello everyone. This is the first time I'm posting in an LV thread. I'm a big fan of H, but I must confess I don't really know much about LV, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me out.Yesterday I received a Christmas gift of a bag, which I was able to identify as a Sofia Coppola PM bag in cobalt. While it's very lovely, it doesn't quite work for me: it's too small to carry a laptop or overnight things (I travel a lot), yet too large to be my daily bag. So, I'm planning to exchange it. I've always admired LV luggage from afar, but now hopefully I'll be able to get a piece or two.I have two questions:First, should I go for canvas or leather? I love the Epi look, but perhaps getting a patterned set would be more fun, and I could add to it over the years, a piece at a time. On the other hand, leather seems more sturdy. Does canvas stand up to a lot of use? I'd like it to last my whole lifetime (or at least a decade or two), and I take on average a trip a month. What would be a better choice? Of course, Epi is more expensive, so if I go with canvas, I will be able to get a couple of pieces instead of just one piece, which is also a consideration.Two, if I go with canvas, should I go for Mono or Damier Ebony? I really like the look of Mono (especially Mono Keepall - I love the contrast between cream leather and the canvas), but I think overall I might prefer something a little more subdued. Please forgive me my LV ignorance, but my question is: how easily identifiable is Damier as LV? I've never liked the idea of brands and logos, and I think I might prefer something that doesn't scream "LV" to the entire airport. But perhaps Damier is just as distinctive? Then it would argue in favor of Epi altogether ... But the Mono look is such a classic, elegant look ... Oh no, I have a feeling I'll spend a lot of time going back and forth and being terribly indecisive.Anyway, I'd love to hear from people who own luggage in leather or canvas, and in Mono vs. Damier. Any suggestions or insights will be most welcome! louis vuitton voyages exhibition

One of my close friends bought a speedy 35 in damier (the exact bag I wanted, and she honestly didn't want it until I mentioned liking it) and now I definately won't be buying one. vuitton umbrella

Very fake but it was so funny!! It was like a Mono tootsie roll, with thick plastic handles, it had feet, zippers on both sides and big buckles. It was hard not to stare! She saw my bag and got this big smile on her face so I couldn't help but smile back, she was really cute...poor little thing really had no clue. louis vuitton nyasha

Yes for vernis - some colors go fast. louis vuitton jfk

I've seen multiple threads of fake reveals. I'd like to assume that the OPs were scammed and didn't know. They almost always get closed really quickly french fashion
