I have the mono and damier. Equally - I love them dearly. I'm comforable wearing the damier more, as it is understated luxury at its finest and low maintenance since there is no vachetta leather to worry about. However, I love the monogram just as well, because that is the true essence and history of LV's iconic classic signature. Hmmm. BUT, I will be getting the epi red in the near distant future, and I LOVE RED!!! And there is the Cerises and Damier Azure speedy...........I'm so wanting the Cerises.
