They look stylish, stand out from the others and certainly are a fine creation of LV. The new canvas is a pallet of 33 colors, the usual LV’s symbols, nine of which are proud LV’s Monograms. The handbags from this line are a virtue not everyone can afford… The cheapest bag from the collection costs sixteen hundred; the line’s been a subject to various replica since it was created and it’s never easy to spot a ripoff – be careful when you’re buying one of these.

The bags are elegant, maybe the Ursula bag, named by the famous actress Ursula Andress, is a top-pick but there are no certain ‘best handbags’ in this collection. They’re meant for everybody who likes one of them, and everybody who can afford them. The Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore bags tend to have a wide opening, most of the models have adjustable straps, thus making them great for casual use.

The Monogram Multicolore Greta is an interesting model. Its round body would make anyone look like they’re from the big city. Furthermore, the rich and refined details which would usually make the bag look stuffed, suit this one great. The Greta is also a practical, ergonomic choice, as it has a wide zip, an interior D-ring inside, and an adjustable shoulder strap, together with the possibility to add an extra one for cross-shoulder use.

Other handbags include the extrovert (even more distinctive than the others, probably because of the large handle) Multicolor Boulogne; the slightly bigger Multicolor Theda GM which looks can hold a lot of stuff, but is somewhat unique because of the threads attached to the zipper and the unique golden lock; and last but not least, the Multicolor Sologne, a handbag with an unique handle that’s not only distinctive but offers a lot of functionality – the handle is adjustable and has nine holes. This line is certainly not a disappointment in any terms and offers a bright, unique collection that’s both fashionable and enjoyable to wear. The Monogram Multicolore might come off as a glitch in the long term history of LV, but the collection’s nice and simple. I like it.

The Manom PM Platine stands out from the crowd because of its sheer gracefulness. A gray bag is always a little risky to release, since, through times, gray comes in and out of fashion, but this time LV really hit the spot. It’s made from the Monogram Mini canvas and soft fabric lining. The bag is a perfect for autumn, hence gray fits with the brown tone that’s outside. The bag remains fully functional, much like the others and is average sized, being 12.2″ x 8.3″. The bag is actually quite detailed, having leather trimmings, stitching and antique gold. Every woman should have a gray purse to use (if gray returns to the top once again), and this brilliant bag suits the autumn leaves quite well.

As for the other models, seek for The Monogram Mini Lin Bucket, which adds a swift touch of greatness to the line. Although, as the name implies, it looks like a bucket, don’t imagine that yet. The Mini Lin Bucket a more tentative, independent looking version of the popular Monogram Canvas one. Its shiny brass hardware makes the bag look utterly cute and gorgeous, implying the beautiful outline of it even more with the thick, flat shoulder straps. The accent is put on the calf leather which makes the bag look more distinct than its original Monogram Canvas inspiration. Furthermore, it comes with a removable zipped pouch for things you can’t afford to lose when using the bag.

Overall, although not a crazy success, the Mini Lin line is a nice one for every season; not everyone goes crazy about it whenever he/she sees it, but the tentative nature and the accents were put right. Is there anything else we could expect from Louis Vuitton? You’re right. There isn’t.

The obvious leader of this collection is the Passy, although the white model doesn’t catch your eye at first, it’s also look if ivory fits your style, but the other colors (black and cassis) should be your primary choice.

The bag is quite sizable and, if LV’s homepage doesn’t lie, it can hold a laptop in it easily. It’s 14.9″ x 11.8″ x 5.1″ so that shouldn’t be a problem. Furthermore, the clever design actually makes it look like an average sized bag, although it’s more in the average-large category.

Inside the bag there are two compartments, separated by a central zip-able pocket; an inside patch pocket and a cell phone pocket. It can be carried on the shoulder and is quite the ergonomic bag. Passy is the name of a famous shopping street in Paris, and this bag certainly suits the modern woman who has a lust for shopping.

The other bags from the collection are casual, certainly not playful and are all proud bearers of the Epi Leather. The texture of the bags will keep your fingers busy for an hour at first, but the aforementioned leather will ensure you about the bags’ longevity. Other handbags to keep your eyes on from the collection are the Musette Bagatelle which will be discussed later on, the the Bagatelle PM and the Madeleine GM, all of which follow this line’s type – Epi Leather and an elegant look, that’s both casual but displays character.

Another elegant bag from the Epi Leather collection is the Musette Bagatelle, a confident bag with an elegant touch but certainly meant for casual use as it’s available only in black. The cross-body carry makes wearing it a pleasure not only for your (and other’s) eyes, but also makes the Bagatelle posess elegant traits. The bag is middle sized and lightweight, which makes wearing it a pleasure rather than a chore. It can be bought for a little less than $1000 and it’s certainly affordable in terms of Louis Vuitton. The leather wears a discreet (but noticeable) LV initial stamp, has smooth leather trimmings and nice-to-touch textile lining. Although not necessarily a bag that’ll get you noticed, it’s certainly a great wear and one of the Epi Leather’s finest.

The Slightly is an ergonomic lightweight bag. Its title says everything – its slight colors, its slight canvas and the possibility to use the bag casually. It’s softly folded and is regareded as body-friendly. The vintage look preserves the style of the wearer, but the adjustable shoulder strap makes it able to be carried both on the shoulder and by your body. The Monogram Denim Canvas stands out as most of LV’s canvas do; it also has golden brass pieces, a flat pocket and a phone pocket and it is the most affordable from the collection, retailing for slightly over one thousand bucks. It comes in three nice colors – pink, gray and black.

The Louis Vuitton XS, on the other hand, doesn’t look so witty; it’s more feminine and straightforward. It’s ideal for casual use and the only drawback of the bag could be that it comes only in black, but it still has the beautiful LV Monogram all over it. It has a round shape and can be carried in different ways, hence it has an adjustable strap. It has all that the usual bag has, plus a little more – an internal patch pocket, a D-Ring for a smaller bag or a key-holder. Its rounded form is adjusted with folded layers makes it look great together with the pressure lock it has.

The ‘city bag’ of the collection, the Neo Cabby MM, is more like a bag for a businesswoman. It easily can hold documents up to A4 format and other stuff that needs to be there when you go to work or a business meeting. The both supple and strong Cabby can be held in hands or on the shoulder and across the body. The versatile design makes this bag stand out from the crowd. It comes with the Monogram Denim canvas, microfiber lining, an adjustable strap, a patch pocket and a cellphone pocket inside. It usually retails for about a little over fifteen thousand and is certainly a solid choice from the Denim line, in all three colors of the line – pink, gray and black.

The Neo Cabby GM is the largest of the collection. It’s perfect for businesswomen who want to carry a laptop with them, although it depends on the size. The feminine folding makes the bag stand out from the crowd, much like the aforementioned Cabby MM does. It has all the features MM has plus side straps to account for the size of the bag, larger space and an interior that’s more generous. This bag is a perfect choice if you like feminine bags that still remain somewhat witty.

Now for the actual bags:

The Monogram Vernis Bedford, together with the Monogram Vernis Alma MM, stands out from the crowd in an instant once you take a look at the Vernis bags. Other notable bags include Bellevue PM (arguably the most classic, LV looking model of this line) and GM, as well as Melrose Avenue that seems to have a touch of gold on it.

The Bedford bag is an extra-feminine bag which follows the LV ready-to-use standard. The body of the bag looks distinct and makes the famous canvas stand out even more. It has two handles, made from original cowhide and is offered in six tentative and subtle colors. The golden brass pieces make the bag stand out even more, and it’s certainly a summer wear – great if you’re going somewhere hot on vacation. The bag is carried on the shoulder and is a great middle-class bag that reminds of the famous Papillon bag.

The Alma MM is a classic bag. Its shape was invented in the 30s by G. Vuitton and is a hand-held masterpiece, covered with leather and the Monogram Vernis canvas. It’s closed by a padlock. The bag is strong and stands out with its longevity. Extra studs to protect the base, a pad lock that preserves the process of closing the bag. It has a double zipper and two patch pockets on the inside, together with a cellphone bag. It costs somewhere around two grand and is definitely an exclusive product, to say the least.

Overall, the Monogram Vernis is a spare and tentative line. All of the varnished bags manage to provide a feminine look; the best in this line is that it suits everyone. Though there are seasonal handbags in the Monogram Vernis, most of them can be used throughout the year, and the exceptional tanning provides longevity which might be a concern because of their look. The only downturn can be the price, but replica handbags aren’t that different from the original. On the other hand, if you buy LV bags you always know for what you pay, and in the case of the Monogram Vernis line – you pay for top-notch bags that will look great even after you have worn them for a long time.

The Monogram Canvas was introduced in 1896 by the company and patented right after it was made. The canvas includes quatrefoils and flowers, together with an LV monogram and the choice for its design was made because of the Victorian era trend of using Japanese ornamentals. The LV monogram canvas is highly counterfeited and Wikipedia states that only 1% of the bags sold are autentic.

How to escape buying counterfeit merchandise when buying an LV bag? It’s quite hard, because the market is full with counterfeit LV bags, and the only thing that you can do to REALLY protect yourself is to buy a bag wearing the monogram from an official LV store. The bags sold online are often cheap replicas of the original and the only online store that’s certified to sell bags with Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas is eLuxury.com.

If you want to buy the real thing and not spend thousands of dollars by doing so, there are actually some models which cost below $1000, for example, the Speedy 40, Lockit, Alma, Popincourt Long and so on. Louis Vuitton are famous mainly for their luxury bags and the Monogram Canvas is one of the most recognizable logos in the world – like it or not. By buying non-counterfeit bags not only you help the widely acclaimed company, but have a chance to actually save some money – besides the famous monogram, Louis Vuitton bags are known for their durability, their outstanding design and the overall good qualities that their bags possess.

The brown Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas has been a subject to replicate from its existence, but it’s certainly a spectacular looking canvas, partly because of its subtle look which makes the bag look both artsy and casual in the same time. The Damier Canvas is spectacular for any interior and offers a vintage feel that’s hard to come across. When you buy a bag with the Damier Canvas on it, it’s your obligation to live up to the bag – and actually improve your other wardrobe, or at least make you restate your attitude. When you buy LV products, you don’t pay only for the bag, you pay for the brand and the chance to be a proud part of it.

The Damier Canvas bag collection is a great find for anyone. The brown tones go well together with a scarf for the upcoming autumn, with glasses, and in the end – almost everything. LV’s top Damier Canvas offer is the Neverfull bag, which, much like the name implies, is quite big in terms of size, and offers a great choice for anyone who likes bags that aren’t made just for the sake of selling it, but instead, making the bag a special piece of art.

The Neverfull is ideal for traveling and casual use in the town. One of the best features of the Neverfull is the presence of two side straps which can reduce the size of the otherwise large-format bag, thus making it practical, not just looking great.
