What is the best quality LV bag so far ?

Hmm... I'm a fan of canvas. Out of that, DE is definitely my favorite. I have OCD and was frequently trying to clean the trim and handles on Mono - I hated when it looked dirty. Again, that is due to the OCD.
I think the quality depends not only on the bag but on the owner, as well. I am very particular about everything I own, so my LV never even touch the floor (seriously, they get their own seat in the car or are in my lap and at night they sit in a chair in my bedroom). That being said, I might think a bag has fantastic quality but someone who has more usual, frequent use of their bags might disagree.
Probably not a great answer, but I think different things work for different people.

+1.. As far as the OCD goes, I wish I wasn't as anal, but I'll never change. I cut hair and I'm the same way with my clients. I check the cut over and over thinking a hair is going to pop out of no where. My clients love that part of my OCD though...
I think sully is a well made one, with thick canvas, special multi-layer handle, beautiful hardware, and nice zipper and lining. Classic Mono speedy seems to be no problem and considering the price it's a decent deal. Just my two cents
My SA mention the same bag.. Sully mono.. Thanks..
I am also in the market for a new LV bag. But so far, my favorite has got to be the Estrela MM. As a mother to a 1 year old, I needed a purse that has the room for everything I need. I also love that this purse offers multi carrying options. Its a fabulous purse. The only downfall is that the leather on the bottom corners of the purse does ware. And if you are anything like me, I am not exactally gentle with my bags lol. Hope this helps
Thank you everyone. I am glad i am not the only one who think LV is not as durable as before.
As for now, i dont really like SC. Eerr, i prefer speedy b empriente, which i already have. And i heard SC is heavier than empriente. I dont own any epi at the moment. But i am looking for everyday bag, so i dont want to baby the bag at all. I am ok to baby vachetta coz i have my magic cream.
So my next question will be.. What is the best model for canvas bag in terms of quality ? TIA..
Would you mind telling me about magic cream?
This is so interesting to me who is pretty new to the brand. I sure would love to compare an older LV to one of the newer ones. I look at the preloved vintage every now and then probably for this reason. And to even think about how the prices used to be for what you got, compared to now.. it must really seem insane. Unfortunately that's what it seems things are headed, higher prices for less quality.
I have noticed the higher quality canvas bags have the following features:
Brass feet
Polished brass hardware (not matte)
Microfiber lining
Artsy, métis, Pallas and others are all like this and have less issues, in my experience.
Leather and exotics also have great quality.
It's the mass-market bags- NF, speedy, Eva, etc that sometimes let quality slide. You can find great quality in these models, but due to the mass production, the quality can vary from one bag to the next.

My mom have estrella. Its a durable bag and comfy too. She wears a lot for almost 2 years, no problem so far.
Its colonil water stopper. I have applied on my speedy mon monogram 3 years a go. Only 1 time applied, and its still works until today. I accidentally spill lots of water (1 whole glass) to vachetta handle, and when it dried, all watermark gone.
My bad experience is with neverfull ikat. Its limited edition. I dont know if this is consider as a mass-market-bags.

I bought from a store near my house. I know this cream from my SA in mulberry. I use the same cream to protect my leather bag.
