Louis Vuitton Graceful Damier Ebene Vs. Monogram Comparison

The patina on your MG is beautiful! I’m torn between these two prints… I think that means I need both 🤣🤣🤣

[@ItalidaReviews]

Thank you! And I agree! I think it means you need both as well!! 😂

[@momambition]

This is such a great comprehensive review ❤

[@ItalidaReviews]

@@momambition Thank You, I’m glad you liked it!

[@cameronedd410]

I am so glad I watched your review. I definitely was leaning more towards the monogram print because I have the Damier Ebene in the Neverfull, but after watching your review, I’ve confirmed I certainly want the monogram. Great information regarding this bag, it’s so pretty.

[@ItalidaReviews]

I’m so glad I was able to help you make a decision. I love the monogram!

[@trilove8285]

I got the Graceful MM and I'm in love!!!

[@ItalidaReviews]

I’m so happy for you!!!!! 💕 You’ll be happy for years to come with that bag. I love mine! Congratulations! 🎉

[@sarahs3533]

Thanks for the comparison video! I like the shape of the bag when folded in the middle, like a fortune cookie. I've seen some used bags that have a lot of dirt around the trim. I would take a clean white rag sprayed with scotch guard and wipe the inside at the end of the week to keep it clean. Very nice that you have both in your collection. They look so much better when you carry them! A good alternative to the neverfull

[@ItalidaReviews]

I agree! The Neverfull is a great bag but it seems to be the one everyone gravitates toward. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@paigemcconnell]

OMG I just got the monogram for V-Day and now I need the Damier Ebene too. I have the Delightful Damier Ebene so I didn’t think I needed it, but after watching this video, I think I need it too. 😂 My poor husband. I’m addicted to LV.

[@idylledoll]

People need to not shy away from vachetta or the patina process and learn that it’s part of the beauty of LV bags. I wish more people knew vachetta can easily be treated to be weatherproof. Leather wipes and a few coats of coconut oil rubbed into the vachetta will result in even patina and rain proof it.

[@ItalidaReviews]

I try to only use the water wipes or the Champion method (which uses only water). I was told that after a while coconut oil can go bad and cause the threads to rot. I don’t know how true it is, or how long it would take if it is true so I just use water. It evens itself out over time anyway. 🤷‍♀️

[@idylledoll]

@@ItalidaReviews As long as the coconut oil is virgin cold pressed and unrefined, it’s actually anti fungal and anti microbial. I’ve had vintage Louis Vuitton for many years and all used coconut oil on them, nothing wrong with the threads at all and have never come across that issue. Everyone I know who uses this method says the same. There are leather wipes that have beeswax, coconut oil and aloe and they are amazing too.

[@markgirl09]

Yes! Please do a comparison between the Graceful MM to the Neverfull GM! I have the MM in the neverfull but am debating about getting the GM as a travel bag but it's just so huge since I'm only 4' 11".

I’ve been contemplating about getting the monogram as well since it’s such a great bag and the pink interior is so cute but was on the fence about getting 2 of the same bag. After this video I’m sold! I think the monogram will be a birthday present to myself later this year! Thanks for all your helpful videos! Love them!

You’re so right! LV has this brilliant idea of only treating certain pieces of vachetta! LVcoffelvr has this issue going on now with her new speedy25b! I can’t believe it 😔

[@ItalidaReviews]

I honestly don’t know who’s making these brilliant decisions for them. Morons. And we’re paying over a thousand dollars for these things they are just screwing up. I wish they would go back to making them the way they did in the 80’s. THAT was true quality.

@@ItalidaReviews thank you very much! I received my first usa item and it looks perfect to me. It's reassuring that yours held up so well. Have a great Holiday❤

[@penniesworth]

In your opinion, with the monogram will the handle have a chance at wrinkling or unraveling, which bag handles are better?

[@ItalidaReviews]

Hello, in my opinion, the monogram is more durable in terms of wear and tear. The handle can still get wrinkled (as a matter of fact the underside of the strap will definitely get them) but you can avoid the top part of the handle getting them by not bending it backwards. Also the monogram has a softer strap that becomes supple with time, whereas the Ebene does not soften. Also, wrinkles in the strap of the Ebene are more visible. I hope this helped!

[@penniesworth]

@@ItalidaReviews thank you. I love monogram too but worried about rain n water . I was going towards Ebene but it’s such a dark print but the. I guess any bag has to be used but I m from Ontario Canada and we have real wet weather here 😊

[@ItalidaReviews]

@@penniesworth you can spray the leather with Apple Garde and it will make it water repellant. Also, any time I’ve ever had rain get on my leather I just wipe the entire strap down with water wipes. The good thing about vachetta is that eventually, as it develops a patina, it forms it’s own barrier and the stains work there self out with time. I think I have a wear and tear video on my graceful. It may be helpful to you.

Hello! Unfortunately I don’t have a comparison video. I had an artsy for a very short period of time then the interior pockets started tearing away from the lining. I showed it in one of my videos, I just can’t remember which. I love the Artsy but the graceful is much more comfortable and costs half the price.

Hello! It’s fine to use baby wipes on the exterior of your bag as long as you use the water wipes. No alcohol or fragrance. As for the interior, I wouldn’t advise using wipes because they can leave a paper towel-like residue on the fabric. I would recommend using a damp wash rag with only water. No soap.

Hi! Thanks for your helpful video! You sold me in the monogram. I went to the store today but all they had was the Damier Ebene so I couldn't compare. The Damier was noticeably stiffer. Do you find that they both rub under your arm a bit? The Damier was on me, but I had taken my suit jacket off and was wearing my tank. I think I wish the drop was 1" longer. Trying to decide if it's going to make me crazy. I'm looking at the PM but strap length is the same on both.

When they have items in the bag it pulls it down further away from your arm pit. It will have plenty of room after you use it a bit.
