In this blog, we explore ten of the Louis myths and help debunk them! Myth 1: Monogram Canvas Fades Over Time A lot of people think that Monogram canvas will inherently fade over time and this is a myth we can verify as false. What you can see is minor color variation from piece to piece, and this can be a result of multiple factors, such as different manufacturing locations and production climate differences.
However, Monogram canvas is a durable fabric that does not fade over time. We have handled thousands of authentic Louis Vuitton bags that are vintage and don't show any wear or fading of the Monogram, or Damier canvas. If you frequently use your bag, you may notice some wear on high-impact areas where your arms rest, on the corners, or near the zipper of the bag due to the frequent friction the Monogram canvas experiences in those areas - rather than the material fading naturally.
Another factor that may cause wear or discoloration of the material is the weather and the amount of sun exposure the canvas endures. With careful use and upkeep, though, you can avoid this issue of color changing and wear! However, the general myth about this beautiful material is that it isn't real leather. Vernis, in French, means "varnish" and this refers to the sparkly and vinyl-like coating that covers the leather of the bag.
These pieces experience color transfer easily, much like patent leather, and need a bit more care than other Louis Vuitton materials, but gorgeous Monogram Vernis is able to withstand decades of use thanks to their coated leather construction. It's true that authentic Louis Vuitton hardware is made of brass — sometimes.
It is a common misconception that all Louis Vuitton hardware is made of solid brass. While the hardware on many Louis Vuitton items manufactured before was made of solid brass, most contemporary items will not have solid brass hardware. This type of hardware can have a brushed or a polished finish and is made of a plated base metal.
Myth 4: LVs are Never Cut Off Louis Vuitton is known for quality and the brand seems to be constantly working towards making pieces that are even more exquisitely crafted than before. This means that Louis Vuitton works hard to ensure that their instantly-recognizable Monogram and Damier patterns are never cut off or misaligned. This misconception is generally true, but some exceptions do exist. The most understated of the Louis Vuitton leathers, this particular option does not have monogramming or marks other than the foil stamp.
This leather is fairly soft but has a tendency to wear if not cared for delicately. A common material much like Taurillon leather, Calfskin is used in more subtle luxury pieces such as the Lockme and Louise lines. It is embossed with the classic Damier pattern. This is the patent version of Mahina leather and has only been made available for the L and XL hobo. Not for the faint of heart, pieces that typically feature exotics in the Louis Vuitton lineup are in a price bracket all their own. These exceptional items may be entirely constructed of or feature elements of any of these materials.
Louis Vuitton has kept it simple when it comes to its interior lining materials. There are few options when it comes to trim accents for Louis Vuitton. They often use the same material or leather as the main body of the bag, or they use contrasting trim of untreated vachetta. Vachetta turns a deep honey color with age and the more durable coated leather may be used for items that would be subjected to more wear and tear.
