Louis Vuitton Speedy patterns 

Many Louis Vuitton items have different materials and patterns that you can choose from.   

So, let’s go over each one. 

LV Monogram 

The Louis Vuitton Monogram pattern is a classic pattern that features an interlocked LV logo for Louis Vuitton with a repeating diamond grid pattern of diamonds, and stylized flowers.  

The background is a deep brown shade with repeating patterns colored to be golden tan.

Damier Ebene

The Damier Ebene is a coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim with a checkered pattern of repeating chocolate and chestnut brown squares.

Damier Azur  

The Louis Vuitton Damier Azur pattern is on a coated canvas with a natural vachetta leather trim with a softer checkerboard in ivory white and light blue/gray squares.   

It gives a brighter, summery look to any LV item it is on. 

Empreinte leather 

Empreinte leather is a supple, grained cowhide leather that has the monogram pattern embossed directly into the leather.  

So, the LV monogram pattern can be raised or textured into the leather. And it comes in many different colors, from neutrals to seasonal colors. 

Epi leather 

Louis Vuitton Epi leather is a textured cowhide leather that is extremely durable and resistant to scratches and water.  

It comes in a solid color with a horizontal “wave” grain. Unlike the other patterns and materials, the LV logo will be discreetly stamped in the corner instead of being all over. 

LV special edition patterns 

Various limited edition LV patterns

Louis Vuitton Speedy also comes in special editions and unique patterns as part of specific collections. Here are some examples:  

  • Multicolor Monogram: A colorful monogram pattern on a white or black canvas that was designed by Takashi Murakami.
  • Monogramouflage: A black monogram pattern with a camo green background canvas. Also designed by Takashi Murakami.  
  • Graffiti: A stylized graffiti with “Louis Vuitton Paris” written over the classic monogram canvas. Part of the Stephen Sprouse collaboration.
