is velvet bag better than canvas bag? or not?

Canvas is going to be sturdier and stronger. But velvet can be so pretty, for a special bag. Velvet is always going to be harder to take care of though.
I agree.
The fabrics are SO different, they're hard to compare.
 
I have a Celine boogie bag in black velvet and I really love it. It looks luxurious (like suede) and easy to maintain (just brush). I wouldn't get a canvas bag though, not even denim. It just doesn't look as good.
