I've had my groom cles a year and a half and it hasn't chipped at all.
Some people are more careless/careful than others with their LV items. I saw a groom cles last week on e*ay that was chipped all to hell, barely even recognizable, and they wanted $279 for it!! They even had the nerve to say "Offering for quite a bit less than retail." No, retail was $200 on that cles when it came out, liars. God I hate ebay sometimes. Anyway.
This is the auction.
It looked like someone had kept it jammed in their pocket next to keys and coins or something.
My point is that any of these screenprinted items will show wear if you abuse them. But care for them, and they sill stay beautiful. My oldest LV (Feb 06) is a white multicolor wallet and not a single speck has chipped off, and yes it has been used.
