Monogram canvas on denim instead of the usual coated canvas. Louis Vuitton put their signature print on treated denim for the Elba ballerina, finished with a leather bow at the toe and an elastic back for comfort. This was part of the house’s early 2000s exploration of casualwear, when Marc Jacobs was making LV feel less formal without losing the recognizability. The construction is still Italian, the proportions are still refined, but denim makes it something you’d actually wear every day. A ballerina flat that doesn’t apologize for being practical.
