@LuxNewbie ,
I have got mine too but in mono. Initially I have a hard time deciding black epi or mono, the black epi is classy too since the prices for both mono/leather is same. But I have too many dark color clothing and the black epic one might not stand out as much as mono's. The mono calls out to me more as the mono goes very well esp with all the detailings and I also love the strap that comes with it. It is very comfortable to wear. I would say the shape is quite structure even for canvas for this model. I think it really depends on how we use and what we store inside. Try not to put too many or heavy stuff inside since this is supposed to hold essential stuffs only. :love:

Sharing a pic where I brought mine out on last Saturday to LV boutique to pick up my reservation :blush: Have worn her twice so far as my country is still have lots of restriction for the past 3 weeks.

Good luck in making your decision. Both mono and epi verson are so pretty in their own way and if I have budget, I will sure pick one more in epi black to add into my collection. This shows that how much I love using it, the shape is so pretty and unique, yet can hold all my essential stuff.

FYI - I also from tropical country :) and all my canvas pieces are still doing well

I prefer epi but it’s a matter of personal taste. This is a style that goes in and out. It was out of fashion for awhile and now back in. I have an old Prada bag same shape that sat in back of my closet for years I will now take out again. I expect the prices of older LV papillon will likely increase. Good luck deciding…really a beautiful bag.

Thank you! This is really helpful.

I love uniquely shaped bags.

But yes, I'll hold out for the mono. Thanks ladies

I received the yellow Epi bag a couple of weeks ago, I didn't have time to take a picture of it until today. I'm still hopeful that the Pink Epi comes to the US.
