I am a newbie to the LV community and want to know how the LV monogram canvas ages. I know the vachetta will patina, but want about the canvas? Do the LV's will contrast or fade some? Any pics or descriptions? I am interested in a vintage look.

My favorite Mono bag, the PDV, looks great; it develops a beautiful shine. However, I only have one Monogram wallet and the monogram is chipping off, but it doesn't bother me that much.I am a newbie to the LV community and want to know how the LV monogram canvas ages.

By chipping I'm just talking about the yellow part rubbing off to reveal the brown, which you can see in your picture. It's nothing major, just something for OP to think about. Nice collection btwI don't have vintage from the 80s or 90s. But I think canvas ages well at least for the items I've had for a while now. It seems to have a bit more shine to it as it ages. I don't see any chipping.
I've had my petite bucket and papillon 30 for over 12 years now. The canvas still looks great. I used the papillon regularly for years, not so much lately. With the pochette that comes with the bucket - this item I used daily for 10 years. Since about 2 years ago, it's used 30-50% weekly depending on the bag I use. It really has been through a lot.
For reference, I took a pic of the following to get an idea of the difference which is not much. (Sorry for the bad lighting.)
-12 year old bucket
-- Bucket bag's pochette (which I use to death in my other bags)
-12 year old papillon (with the charm in the pic)
-1 year old favorite
-1 year old cles

I notice the canvas has changed in the last year or two, the older canvas ages beautifully, my newer canvas items are under observation, I guess we'll see...
