I'm a fan of LV but I honestly can't say I've ever loved the look of damier ebene. I get why people like it. It's more low key and it has no vachetta which are both pluses in my eyes. But just from an aesthetic standpoint I don't find it attractive. The brown shade is a little off for me. While I know I don't need to find it attractive, I'd like to hear from folks who feel the same way or even love DE. What do you love or dislike about it? The only bag I've actually really liked in DE is the alma bb, but even then I like the monogram one so much more.
Who else cannot see the beauty of Damier Ebene?

I love DE and mono equally. I have a lot of mono bags and only two DE, mainly because DE doesn’t come in as many designs. DE is the traditional LV print. Mono came after. I wasn’t a fan of mono before, because I don’t like vachetta. Now that a lot of mono bags come with black trim and treated vachetta, they’re on equal footing.
I love DE print. Especially with red contrasting interior. But I do wish LV would play around using different kind of leather accents than the treated leather used typically.
DE is really non existence in the men permanent collection.

True, but the men's collection has damier graphite which is stunning!I love DE print. Especially with red contrasting interior. But I do wish LV would play around using different kind of leather accents than the treated leather used typically.

When I was younger, I called them the chocolate LVs. Kinda justifies the everything 
I won’t say I love DE, but my speedy B 25 DE is probably my most carried bag in winter and looks best with my wardrobe. I can’t imagine not having it.
That said, I don’t gravitate to DE. I had a Graceful MM in DE and never carried it.I felt the print/color was just too overwhelming for me … I think the print works better on smaller bags.

Beauty, not really. I don't think either of the historic prints is beautiful, but they're something else--quintessentially of the house's deep history, signifiers of old-school luxury, test-of-time classics. These are the qualities in LV that I appreciate most. Damier Ebene is as practical as LV gets in its canvas. My DE Speedy 30 (not a Speedy B) is a forever piece and always looks amazing.
Honestly I think DE is much more complex than monogram. If you look closely under good light you can see multiple colors in the pattern. Plus it goes with everything. I love the flowers in monogram but actually prefer the colors of DE and wish they made more bags in it. The alma bb in DE is one of the best looking bags ever made. 
I love DE is my fav print. I find it more attractive then mono
I personally don’t like the graphite. I gravitate to want the monogram eclipse Or Macassar. But LV ruined the Macassar line.
I prefer the brown strapping to vachetta. But the DE print always looks fake to me. #runsforcover

DE has always been my favourite canvas. I just love it. I think it goes with everything, even more so than Monogram. I love the chocolatey colour, love the brown leather that accompanies it. I like Monogram, DA and DG too but DE will always be my favourite.
DE was the print of my first LV bag and also the first canvas print of LV. I also think DE can look both casual or dressy with a nice outfit plus being all weather bag is a great bonus! However, as careful as I am with my bag collection, looking at the corner wear of DE and monogram bags the DE has rubbed off print areas and my monogram bags do not have any but only normal honey patina to the vachetta. I probably won't add anymore DE bags.
I thought I preferred the DE but when I came to buy only the mono made my heart sing . I do like DE but mono feels more special to me.
