Looks like tons of new releases in the coming months. Perhaps a new thread? Thank you so much @Emphosix for typing this up. the anticipation is exciting! Can’t wait to see photos!
I tried to start a thread months ago but it was merged with the SS22. Here’s a few of the photos I posted. View attachment 5432204View attachment 5432205View attachment 5432206View attachment 5432207View attachment 5432208View attachment 5432209
From what I understand, it is a very smooth finish cowhide that is similar to the untreated vachetta that LV currently uses. However, it differs in that it undergoes additional tanning treatments with natural vegetable dyes. This process creates an even tanned colour that makes the leather more durable without losing the feeling of luxury. Still not as supple as lamb skin though. The durability makes it ideal for use in everyday carry bags as it can hide minor scratches better. It can still develop a patina over time but it should a more even darkening than the untreated version. LV stopped producing their nomade line about a decade ago. I am really looking forward to their new releases!Im not familiar with the nomade leather. Can someone of you explain it? Looks very smooth, is it very delicate with scratches? And developing patina like vachetta?
Thanks in advance

Thank you both for taking time and answer the questions. Very helpful!My first LV (bought from store in 2014) has extensive nomade leather trimming (long strap, all the way around the bag near the bottom and the entire bottom). It has held up well in my opinion (although I don’t use it every day since I rotate regularly). It is soft and tough probably similar to glove-tanned leather. I attached a close-up picture (taken a few inches away) of a minor scratch — it’s not very noticeable IMO. There is some light wrinkling of the strap similar to what would happen to a vachetta strap. Overall, I love this leather and wish they would use it on more bags. Hope this helps.

That’s the reverse monogram Loop GM. It will release end of September!Does anyone know what this bag will be called and if it is on list? I love the mix of monogram and reverse. Prefer the strap that is on the all leather version but i cant shake wanting this bag.
