Waff, you're right, to a degree, about the pattern. It isn't for everyone. But it helped define the company at it's beginning and now it is a symbol of that heritage. The good thing is since LVMH brought aboard Marc Jacobs all those years ago, you have even MORE choices as fair as patterns, colors and designs to choose from. Everyone was glad the Monogram Canvas Multicolore in white and black came out and actually is a regular product you can still buy. So many LV designs are temporary!

Merk, Jordan, Spekoli and Fathom: thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked it. As for those trojans , Fathom, that's a new one on me. I haven't experienced those problems myself. And Spekoli, they are not man purses they are travel cases and battle satchels (I just came up with that!).

Merk, the Pegase replica is perennially a bestseller, for both LV and their people who make the rep of it. I'd try emailing a dealer or site that you prefer and having them source it for you. Make sure they source the good ones and not the Canal St. Special.
