TBH nobody knows for sure how this new nautical print will perform over time since this is a brand new launch and nobody has had this collection for more than a week (it launched march 3rd). So the best estimation anyone can say is that canvas has been traditionally a very hardy material. Damier azur has the potential for colour transfer just as any light coloured bag will. Whether the print will wear off easily as compared to previous collections is hard to say. Who knows if a new formula, technique, or material etc was used. FYI, the fall floral collection was notoriously fragile with chipping meanwhile the tahitienne seemed to fair quite well over time. I have heard this release is a thicker canvas if that helps. Frankly, I think LV positioned this as a seasonal piece so do with that what you may. It is a beautiful collection. I think you should get it anyways especially if you like it. You mentioned you baby your bags against rubbing so you should be fine.
