One of Louis Vuitton (LV) creations that is well known worldwide is LV coated canvas. It is soft yet extra durable and scratch resistant. LV’s coated-canvas bags could maintain their shape and look even after few decades. Not to mention, the pattern is recognizable. Probably only few persons in this world who don’t know what LV is.
But do you know that LV coated canvas is non-leather? The material is cotton canvas that has been treated with well known plastic PVC (polyvinylchloride). That’s why this material will last for a very long time. You can count it as investment if you’re the kind of person who prefer quality than quantity.
Some of you might probably think, since LV coated canvas bags are made from cotton canvas and PVC, isn’t it supposed to be cheap? Well even though the main material is made from non-leather material, the trim is made from real animal leather. And please don’t forget that one LV bag is produced through tons of process by skillful craftsman. No matter how expensive or good materials are, without meticulous craftsmanship, it will be only raw material without any added value.
Found in 1854, LV’s long history itself made it hard for other high end brands to compete with. LV is one of most valuable luxury brands in the world, and also 17th most valuable brand worldwide across all sectors. With its highly valuable brand, LV bag is not just a bag. It is statement, sometimes it is seen as symbol of status. I believe some of us dying to have one not because its functionality, but more because of the value itself.
