The other monogram cles is from 1991 or 1997 (a little faded so can’t tell). Yeah if you can get your hands on one, do so!
New SLG and my 10 year old cles - how are yours holding up?

No issues at all. IMO Vuitton products years ago were better made and worth the money.
I had no idea that canvas could even crack and peel until I rejoined the LV community this year. My bags/SLG are all 1997 - 2010, and solid AF. They can't possibly say that the canvas quality is the same!
Oh no kidding
From my post here in June 2020, my brand new 6 key holder started peeling at the edges at around 6 months of use and needs to be reglazed. With all the closures, I haven’t been able to bring it to LV yet. I’m contemplating getting it deglazed and selling it, then looking for a vintage one!
I totally agree. It’s so disappointing that the quality has decreased and the prices have increased. I have currently falling back in like with Coach which I am buying from retail and outlet and searching for older Vuitton items(on the resell market)which I missed years ago. It saddens me that nothing from Vuitton currently holds my interest and IMO the customer service is horrendous. I am back where I started with my designer bags more than 30 years ago.
My keypouch from 2014.
Only the edges are severely worn of print rubbing off. The hardware is heavenly oxidize and the gold 90% gone.
I don’t plan to get another canvas Keypouch. I think they are too much for what they are worth. I am so far not using this much with my other slgs.

My lovely, new-to-me Zoe arrived today and while I knew she had faults, being only a 2019 piece, I'm glad I didn't pay full price for her! The coloured canvas is riddled with hairline cracks! She'll be my occasional purse as she's not going to last casual usage. This colour-way though...
I'm leaning towards only buying vintage/classics for bags now, and I'll buy an SLG from any new collection that catches my eye. I get the feeling LV is focussing on seasonal rather than forever, for both quality and design... I do like a lot of the new stuff but I'd have to treat them as special occasion pieces rather than workhorses. Sorry to hijack OP! I think I'll be looking out for a vintage cles to add to my collection. I think even some of the older Murakami cles have held up better than this poor Zoe, and I don't think she was mistreated.
It’s a beautiful piece and even better that you didn’t pay full price. IMO Vuitton items are no longer forever items so we get to enjoy them for whatever the time span. Use it in good health and I hope you find the vintage pieces which you mentioned.
