2023 - phasing out canvas

[mrceral]

There’s an article on the homepage about LV phasing out canvas items in 2023 - “From 2023, shoppers will no longer be able to buy canvas iterations of popular designs like the Mini Pochette Accessoires” - but no source for this info.

Does anyone know more or where the writer got this information from? They haven’t responded to the questions asked in the comments.

When I was in LV Manchester yesterday the SA mentioned that the canvas was being limited. They didn’t have much stock, most of it was in the reverse monogram. They had virtually no DE stock.

I read this yesterday and was shocked.

I feel like this has been said on numerous occasions before. I’m sure they’ll continue to push their full leather pieces, but I can’t see them discontinuing canvas.

Personally, I haven’t found their leather to be particularly good quality or long-lasting especially when compared with leather from other, often less expensive, brands. Just my own experience. I think it would be a colossal mistake to discontinue canvas, and can’t imagine it will ever happen.

Totally agree with you

I'd heard that they will discontinue selling canvas online.

I can see them limiting canvas availability in an effort to push the leather goods.

Either way/in both cases I feel like they are doing themselves a disservice. Canvas is their bread and butter and I feel like it accounts for the majority of the sales. In trying to push people into buying their leather, all it will do is push people to the secondhand market. If someone wants canvas, they will find other avenues to get it, not simply be upsold to buy leather...

What a boon it will be for places like Fashionphile!

I agree, that’s why I’m wondering where the info came from in the blog post.

It's the durability of canvas that I love about LV and of course the whole history behind it. I sold all of my LV leather bags except for my vernis Alma that was gifted to me. I replaced all those leather bags with Hermes. And I would continue to buy LV canvas but these prices are just nuts.

I am attracted to the canvas pieces rather than the leather. Less worry & more hardy. I am shocked they would be turning back on their history. I will just have to source canvas items from the secondry market online then since i don't live near a store.

i only like hard sided these days. i mean, what would they make trunks with? sheesh

What I think what LV is trying to establish is purposely making a false scarcity on their canvas to ensure they can charge premium and continue to exploit future price increased to ensure more profits.

Their retail price is high enough for canvas. Honestly I had enough of paying $$$$ for material things. I see something I want badly but then I get uninterested in buying later. I don’t covet LV or luxury designer as much compared to when I was 18. I’m only 30 years old.

This shocks me, because like others have said, their canvas is their bread and butter. That's what started the company back in the 1800's. Why would they steer away from that? Makes no sense to me. The only leather item I truly love is their Capucines.

Sometime I wonder if France (along with other countries) is combating climate change with how LV makes their canvas.

This doesn't surprise me. The canvas market is oversaturated and LV wants to "elevate" its luxury brand. It has been years at my local store that LV showcases all their leather goods and only relegates a small part of the display for canvas. CAs give me the side glance when I walk in with a canvas piece because I'm seen as the lower tier clientele!

LV is "forcing" ppl to buy leather.

Remember when there were rumors that LV was phasing out the round coin purse, toiletry pouches, ...etc. Yes they did, and reintroduced them back as multiples and upped the price significantly. They were pushing boundaries and at some point, not being able to locate canvas online will not surprise me.

SO MY ADVICE IS IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU WANT ONLINE, JUST BUY IT because obviously LV is restricting its canvas sales.

This is a poorly written article. There are no sources, no evidence, just claims that canvas is being discontinued. Writing 101 is introduce, cite, explain. Not making random claims with no proof.

With that said, I don’t believe LV will discontinue canvws. Restrict it? Yes. Perhaps limit it to a small selecte group of styles? Yes. Price it to the point of completely insanity? Absolutely. Discontinue it? No.
