About Coated Canvas

So what is Coated Canvas? This may come as a shock to some handbag enthusiasts, but simply put, it’s cotton canvas (or fabric) coated with PVC. It can be surprising to discover that your Polyvinyl Chloride coated bag is not in fact leather. However, it may still have some leather components, such as the handles or piping (like Louis Vuitton’s Vachetta trim).

Coated Canvas is used by designer brands such as Louis Vuitton (typically on their Monogram and Damier lines), Dior, Fendi and Goyard. Gucci also use Coated Canvas (GG Plus) on a number of their handbags and also offer their own unique Crystal Canvas and Dialux Canvas incarnation.

Luxury handbags which typically are made from Coated Canvas:

Gucci Boston, Goyard Anjou Tote / Saint Louis PM bag, Louis Vuitton Alma /  Galleria / Keepall / Neverfull and Speedy.
