The mere word of Louis Vuitton conjures up pictures of Monogram coated-canvas for fashionistas, handbag connoisseurs, and even the average Joe. The brand's classic Damier check, which is also available in a coated canvas material and is just as popular, can be found on Vuitton's most popular shapes. While Louis Vuitton Monogram is unrivaled in terms of both elegance and durability, making it an obvious option for handbag fans of all generations, its Epi leather should be just as cherished, yet Epi leather doesn't always seem to get the attention it deserves.
A Quick Overview of Louis Vuitton Epi Leather
Epi leather is a micro-textured cowhide leather that dates all the way back to the 1920s, when the glossy grained lather was used on luggage during the mid-century. It was then reintroduced in 1985 as the House's first permanent leather line, and it is still in production today. Even still, it sometimes feels like Epi leather is the Vuitton family's forgotten child.
How is Epi Leather made by Louis Vuitton?
The leather is coloured and then printed with the unique, three-dimensional Epi design, making this House classic a one-of-a-kind. A topcoat that matches the color of the leather is then applied, resulting in a vivid, vibrant colour regardless of the color. Epi leather is water resistant and can survive everyday wear and tear, thanks to this comprehensive and meticulous procedure.
