Hello! @AndreaM99 !! Thank you for all of these wonderful comparison shots! I am thinking about turtledove. Is that the top one in this comparison shot? (for reference I pretty much have only black LV colors or ebene and I'm trying to find a good lighter color ) I also only wear mostly black and gray/neutrals.

Thank you!

Hi LV_someday, you are very welcome! Yes, you are right, it is the first bag on the top of the photo you sent. Based on what you have shared, this shade seems to be the best choice for you. The good thing is she is still available! Happy shopping! :biggrin:

You hit the nail on the head. I am 100% all black bag kinda gal. I also wear mostly black and neutral colors. So my logic was reverse mono will probably be a nice pop of color. But, from everything that I read, the canvas may not be as durable as the leather? I love the giant monogram look of bicolor and wish they had other colors available, but unfortunately they don’t. Creme might be too light for me, even though it is so beautiful! Your collection is stunning!! I wish those colors were still available. Do you own any canvas PM? If you do, would love to hear your thought on empreinte vs canvas PM

You mentioned that you wear both black and neutral colors. Since you might be hesitant to try Creme, what about Turtledove in Empreinte? I consider that a nice neutral that's neither too light or too dark.

Thank you karin04ka. Yes, I do own mono, reverse and one PM in epi (that was a special edition). It is very true, that canvas bags have more issues/defects than leather bags, since natural leather is more flexible and does not crack like a material which has the "plastic" feeling. Leather is prone to get scratches, corner wear, but you can "kinda" camouflage it by treating the leather (like we do with shoes, right?) and natural leather is more expensive. I personally prefer leather over "artificial" materials, even though Epi leather is almost "undestroyable" material (for a reference I have a large Noe in epi which is around 30 years old and there is nothing wrong with the bag). Canvas as a material gets "harder" over the time. My canvas bags are couple of years old and I can tell the difference, but it is nothing significant. I honestly believe, the hardening of the canvas is causing the cracking issues (the material is loosing its flexibility). I am not sure whether this was helpful, but LV does work on different versions of canvas (they have different versions for different bag models, it is very impressive), so all in all I believe the cracking issues are under the control and it is quite safe to go for a canvas bag. Lastly, the customer service will eventually take care of you if this unfortunate event happens. I personally like the reverse and black color contrast, it is a nice touch. And if you prefer leather, and Creme is too "bright" for you, Turtledove is still available. ;) Decisions,. decisions...

Ladies, SHE has arrived (one day earlier!) and she is gorgeous! :hbeat: I could not believe my eyes - she is even "Made in France" (I know, right? :rolleyes: :lol:) I usually shop in person, but I am very impressed by LV online customer service. :yes: To be honest I have not received so many "gifts" ever with my order. The packaging is fabulous (probably an older thing), but the quality is comparable with Apple or Goggle gadgets packaging. I am truly very impressed! Very representative. As a side note, well, finally, for that money...but I wanna be a good girl :angel: , a got a new bag today! Yay! :happydance::yahoo:

P.S.
I will post my empreinte color comparisons madness soon! :lol:

Ladies, here is my comparison of the new empreinte leather color "Wine" with the former released shades. Featuring bags: Pochette Metis (PM), Metis Hobo (MH) and Lumineuse (Lumi). Enjoy the ride! :angel: :lol:

Please reach out in case of any questions, I am happy to help! :yes::flowers:

P.S.
I intentionally did not include PM in Marine Rouge (they do not fit together at all!), but if you want that photo too, let me know. The same applies for other colors of MH and Lumi.

Wine & Creme (Very elegant combo)
