Just to Clarify... What is Vernis?

[colleen03]

It's Patent leather right? How come some people call it plastic?

I think it is plastic-y like...I don't know, though :o

I am pretty sure patent leather is plastic coated leather. I hope no one is calling it just "plastic". Miroir is pretty much plastic (PVC-polyvinyl chloride).

my SA told me that because the put a coating of varnish to make it shiney, you have to be careful...i think it is patent leather

That's a good question. I've never thought about it, but now that you've asked I'm curious too.

inside calf leather

It's patent leather.

ETA: You can smell the leather from the inside.

only SOME vernis items are leather inside. Basically the outside is always embossed patented leather, however the inside can be leather, synthetic/plastic material, or cotton lining

so it is, indeed, leather, fron a cow. not from a plastic tree, but from an animal?
good to know, because my vernis was expensive!

The LV site and product card describes it as scratch-resistant plastic coating on the leather! I'm pretty confident of it being not as prone to scratches as some might think. But yes it would pick up ink-type stains (newspapers, magazines, etc) more easily due to the plastic/rubbery coating
