This is good to know. I thought long and hard about an Epi Alma before ultimately passing because the bag was so stiff (still think about the bag, though!). I also considered an Epi Neverful but again, the bag felt stiff and in that style, I wanted it to be pliable. If I knew it would soften, I might get one, Maybe I need to look at a Noe!
Just Curious - is Epi Leather not as popular as Canvas?

I bought my first LV a few months ago and at the time the Alma PM in Epi was in the running but the price was a factor and I do love the look of the canvas handbags too. (Plus my casual style thought maybe canvas made more sense) So a couple weeks ago I broke down and ordered it (the Noir)....I have gone back and forth and back again
And now too late for a refund so either I keep or buy possibly more canvas. I do like the idea it is not so in your face LV but I should probably look at or looked at pre-owned instead. I still may if I exchange it.
I have 3 epi pieces and love them. One is agenda pm (i also have canvas) and soufflot bag and the pouchette. This small pouchette is so cute that even the SA in the shop made me a compliments about it (the bag is discontinued and not all SA knw it)
I use my epi bag for evenings and my canvas for everyday.

Wow! I’m really losing my marbles. I actually an epi pm agenda, and epi PA in addition to the 3 pieces I mentioned above.
If you don’t mind my asking, why did you decide to sell and why the regrets? Epi Speedy is a bag I keep going back and forth on, which is why I’m curious.
agree, canvas is the best sell. BTW, saw the Taurillon Caviar leather on capuchine, nice but not as special to be apart from other brands even very inexpensive several hundred dollars brands, empreinte is really nice and unique.
People love LV for their monogram canvas bags, that's why the Epi leather bags aren't that popular in the aftermarket sector.
However, I love my Epi leather Vaneau since the material is structured, gorgeous, and low-maintenance. I use my Vaneau as my daily work bag and I decorate it by wrapping the handles with Twillys. I also have a canvas pochette Felicie in DA that I use a lot along with my epi leather.
My bags are for me to enjoy and use. They're not "investments" for me to resell later. I think a lot of people go for LV canvas because of their high resell value aside from being lightweight and casual.

I prefer the LV monogram prints. To coordinate prints like checkered and monogram pattern with your outfit is really engaging.
I just starting to find Epi is captivating to wear, especially colored leather bags.
Thanks. They offered me $500, then $400, then $550, and finally $600.That's a pretty good price, congrats!
Honestly, I loved the bag it was beautiful. The only reason l got rid of it is because I've come to realize I am not a handheld bag girl. I have the Mono Speedy B and I recently bought the Empreinte Speedy B and having the strap is so much more convenient for my lifestyle.
