Louis Vuitton Vernis Reference Guide


 Hey Lovelies,

I don't know about you but I enjoy hunting for deals on ebay.  One thing I have found useful is having a guide or the knowledge on the product so you are able to confirm authenticity.  When I was looking into the vernis pieces I realized there have been many colors over the years and it can be hard to keep track.  This is my reference guide that I hope you find informative and useful.


The Vernis line was created in 1998 by then creative designer Marc Jacobs.  It is a monogram embossed coated leather which has a shiny and sparkly effect.  Louis Vuitton brings out new colors often and many times have seasonal colors that are only available for a year.  If you miss out on a color don't worry too much it may be back around in a few years.  I have read countless of tips that say if you want a vernis piece make sure you put it at the top of your list because you just never know how long it will stick around.

This is an ongoing reference guide and will hopefully assist those who are hoping to purchase new or preloved vernis pieces.  I had wished such a guide existed when I was looking into my peppermint wallet.   If you have any Limited Edition vernis collections that I missed please leave the name in the comments so I can research and add to the guide.  Thanks my lovelies for stopping by today!
