Do you like Damier because that's about the only option?

I think the damier ebene is a little "manly" like someone replied on here. It's also my least favorite pattern/color out of azur, mono, and ebene. I do like the fact that it's worry free and if the mono came out without vachetta that would be awesome. I take care of my bags well in general so I don't mind having some vachetta. The brown vachetta is nice, and if any of my bags' vachetta gets too black, then I would just have them replaced.
I only have one Damier piece and thats an Ebene Speedy 30. While I like the Damier, I definitely prefer the mono. My Damier is great for rainy days, and I tend to carry it when I'm going somewhere where I'm afraid my mono bag with vachetta might get messed up. I love the look of vachetta when it patinas, and since I rotate my bags often, none of them get carried for a long period of time, so the vachetta stays nice. I have to admit mono without vachetta would be carefree, but I'd miss the honey colored leather on the mono bags.
For every LV that I like, I always hope for it to come in Damier Ebene (if it's released in Mono or Azur initially). I prefer and love the Damier Ebene canvas better simply because it doesn't scream "LVVVVVV" 
Besides that, I don't really fancy the vachetta leather and I don't like the way it looks after the patina has developed. Now I just hope that LV will release Delightful in Damier Ebene and I'm all set for a purchase

ITA with you once again, AAdams! I feel like selling my mono pieces because they are everywhere and I am just so tired of them. I like some of the Damier bags though, like the Trevi and my NF. Most of the Damier bags are too old looking, though. I prefer the more expensive LV lines nowadays though (like Mahina, Antheia, Empreinte etc).
ITA with you! I didn't like the Damier styles at first either. They have now grown on me. In fact, like you, I intend on buying the Damier Speedy 30 for the Fall. Damier is very polished looking to me. I have the mono Speedy 30 as well as the Artsy MM and I lvoe them both for different reasons.
No. I love epi more than damier and mono... and I am probably going to get my first Vernis bag soon.
I find Damier is nice because of no vachetta, but I only need one bag in that leather, as I don't tend to wear a lot of brown.
The majority of bags that I own are in the epi leather range.

That is why I love my Trevi! I had a Cerise bucket - got stuck in the rain and about had a heart attack. It ended up getting water spots and I was so upset. Don't have to worry about that anymore
I used to own Damier bags only as rainy-day bags, and thought they were not as pretty as Mono bags. But the Damier design really grew on me and I now love it so much and prefer it to Mono. Damier is so classy and chic!
Like like Damier Ebone but Azur so much. I only own two pieces in Ebone (Speedy 30 and cosmetic pouchette) and an Eva in Azur (the only piece in Azur that I found attractive.)
I own just about something in very pattern and LOVE THEM ALL. Vernis is a little high maintenance for me. It is keeping me for purchasing an VERNIS ALMA. I really want one though.

I'm just wondering if everyone feels they need to wear brown to carry Damier Ebene?
I keep seeing lots of responses from people saying they don't wear a lot of brown!
I don't wear ANY brown clothes ever but still carry Mono and am planning to buy Ebene Speedy. Is that bad??

I think Ebene Damier goes well with many colors, as long as the fabric does not have "busy" prints. It goes especially well with solid outfit in my opinion. I love it with all black, BTW.
I've read some things here on tPF that strongly suggest that a lot of people opt for bags in ebene because they're easier to maintain, but I don't love damier ebene because it's 'the only option' - I love it because I think it looks classic, and I genuinely love the look of the print. I do like monogram canvas as well, but I tend to prefer monogram for small accessories. That's just my personal opinion, but I really do think that damier ebene is very stylish, will go with almost anything and adds an instant flair of class and sophistication to an outfit. I can't see why anyone would think it was dull or boring, but hey, I guess we're all different and have different tastes.
