But I do wonder about the show through - is it a design choice, or is it actually color showing through? Why would the patterns show up as almost white when you put colors such as turquoise and pink on brown canvas?

I suspect the V and the monogram are actually printed together. I have no proof of this theory but that seems the most logical to me. It's undoubtably an industrial digital process so it would save time. I look at the men's V tote, it doesn't look like two layers but rather one print job.
Again this is just my guess.
 
Do you think the pink may be on thicker? The symbols definitely do not show through as much.

I don't know. I would assume the process is the same. However, what you say does make sense. I was thinking that the pink did not show through as much because it is not as dark of a color as the turquoise. The turquoise is unbelievable. A speedy and pochette should have been a given in that color.




When I was asking about the process he just said that it was a thinner layer so that the symbols would show up and he was really interested in seeing how it holds up with time. I actually don't think it is a pattern because it lines up too perfectly with the monogram canvas and Louis Vuitton would have never been able to do that on a consistent basis. Even when you look at the handles and how they line up with the V, they are not perfect.
 
I agree with u 100%. I got the v pochette nm and I'm pretty sure Its the design and not the monogram print showing through.

I agree because I think it is fundamentally a completely different process than mon mono. When I look at my mon mono bag I feel that there is a layer on top of canvas. No such feeling with the V.
 
I just went to feel my mon mono vs. V again, and I am pretty sure that V is printed as part of the canvas because there is no way the layer is so thin that it is unfeel-able by finger touch. If you run your finger through the pattern on mon mono you can clearly feel a difference in the thickness, but with V no such difference.

I would really like to get some info from ramages owners now - when you run your fingers through the patterns, do you feel a changing thickness? Like if you close your eyes and feel across the bag, can you tell what is the pattern what is not?

You cant feel a difference when you touch the Ramage.
 
For the amount of effort I put into this ... the box that arrived this afternoon feels like one helluva accomplishment.

I was so happy ups showed up before I had to leave for work. I love the never full but feel underwhelmed by the pouchette I think if it was a mini pouchette I'd like it more. I want to switch but I won't because I don't like wearing flashy bags to work and this on will definitely catch attention. Plus I don't want to have to squish it to get it into my locker.

My passenger today. Photos cannot capture the color. It is a true teal. I'm in love. I was planning on carrying it a few months then selling it but I don't think I can let it go! I tried to adjust it to show the true colour but it just isn't working. It's amazing!
