As others mentioned, no option to change the leather colour to black and no option to change the interior either - disappointing! It's not true customisation.

The only difference is they've added "stickers" to what you can already get with initials and stripes. I should've bought from the original customisation line but wrongly assumed it would be available permanently.

Exactly. When customization first came out, I thought about getting it just for the black handles and add a little sticker where I don't really see it.

This time, I really don't want vachetta, and I really don't want my initials anywhere on the bag. Unless I just put down LV. I should have the option not to let strangers know my initials.

Thank you 😊. It said 3-4 weeks for production.

That sounds good! Haha and so much faster than the recent LVxTM stuff!

I am excited to hear / read how you like it, when it comes! I really like the new taupe or creme color (forgot the name) you choose! Played with it on a Speedy 35. Need to decide whether I want a Mon Monogram Speedy B 35 or a Damier ebene one!

Do you guys think Mon Mono is Made in France only? Thanks!!

My theory — that I posted a few days ago here — is that they made this heavily optimized new version exactly for being able to produce it anywhere. So even if the first batches would be Made in France, I wouldn't be surprised if Italy, Spain, and — especially now — USA would pop up.

Sad they eliminated the interior color options; clearly a cost-saving move, but at least one that is reflected in the price: I paid $580 for my customized passport cover in 2023, and now they're $495. I also like that they reverted to the Mon Monogram branding; *way* better than "My LV Heritage".

I miss some of the classic colors: Vert Anglais, Bleu de France, etc. Despite the large numbers of colors there seems to be a shortage of bright, "clean" shades like red, green, navy, etc. Most of the options are quite pastel and/or "chalky".

IMO, most color combinations look better when you pick a lighter option as "Color 2": white, quartz, lilac, taupe, light blue, light green, etc. It helps frame the primary color and gives a clean transition between it and the canvas.

I agree. The only ones that are listed "Made in France" instead of the boilerplate "France, Spain, Italy or US" are the Horizon suitcases.

I agree with you on the need to pick a lighter option as color 2 to give a breather to the combo. Otherwise, if you put two saturated, intense colors together, it makes the bag look so "heavy".

Fun to play with, but sad there isn’t a lining color choice. Happy about the price, though. ☺️ Thoughts on this combo?!

I like this combo and honestly I'm a fan of some of the softer colors. I'm feeling like over the years the softer colors will be more user friendly and will not be so in your face so to speak. I like the light pink option as well, but I'm a fan of pink also. I'd like to see real life pics of the finished product, so I'll wait.

I'm a fan of pink too. I have many outfits in various pink. So I were to to get one, pink will be there.
Pink and fuchsia.
Pink and taupe.
Pink and light green.

I prefer pastel colors over saturated, bold colors. That's just me. Let me play around with a few ideas and share them with you. This is fun.
