Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Colour Palette
December 12, 2020
I did not expect working on Louis Vuitton Epi leather colour palette was this fun. Matte, shiny (Electric), metallic finishing – which one is your favorite, which one is your most loved, not to mention about the wide range of colour selections? It is a hard shopping decision.
Louis Vuitton Epi leather line was introduced since 1985 and re-invented with glossy/patent finishing in year 2010, namely Epi Electric. Epi leather features two-tone textured leather. The House has rolled out dozens of colour choices throughout these years, some are available all seasons (classic), some were seasonal and had been discontinued. Some lighter colours tend to season over the years more easily. However, the Epi leather quality is undeniable durable.
Epi leather is commonly seen on women’s than men’s collection. Anyway, the women’s handbag selections are about two times (if not more) than men’s bag selections. We can see Louis Vuitton wallet, Alma, zippy organizer, Neverfull, Bucket, card case, Kirigami, Soufflot, shoes and many more are made in Epi leather, either in horizontal or diagonal direction.

The Epi Plage collection was first introduced in Spring 2001. It is not leather but highly resistant PVC. They can be seen used on the Women’s as well as Men’s collection. Bags made of Epi Plage do not necessarily command a lower price tag than leather or the Monogram Coated Canvas.
