Louis Vuitton Agenda Refill Paper

[pavel]

Hi all,

I've been toying with the idea of getting myself an LV organizer.

Before paying the LV premiums, I would like to ask whether anyone has any experience with their paper?

It is hard to imagine that a company which prides itself on quality would use bad paper in refills which cost over $50, but I still have doubt.

I am not to sure that a sales rep would let me scribble something in something they have on display, thus I have high hopes of someone sharing their experience.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, I have wondered the same thing. Do you have a store nearby that you could visit? I have considered checking to see if they have a display model and asking to test the paper. I know it is pretty common in a pen or stationary shop to test items, so you never know. Anyway, let us know what you find out.

I have an LV quarterly diary refill and some of their lined paper. It is my favorite paper. The paper is fine but there is no feathering or bleeding though some inks will show through occasionally as with most fine papers. FP ink looks great on the paper. For example if you enjoy the shimmer of Sailor and other inks then that quality is really brought out on this paper when you look at it under an electric light. You get the gold and red-pink shimmers on Sailor Sky High, Epinard etc. LV ruled paper comes in a bundle with both white and a pale caramel colour paper. I think that LV may not sell the paper from their website and you have to go to their shops (you would have to check that out yourself). I have no connection to LV.

I have used my trusty LV A5-sized agenda in black Epi leather for years. I used to use Filofax inserts for the calendar but now that everything is on my iPhone or Outlook I use it for notes, taking sheets from my Miquelrius Diplomat notebooks, and using an A5 hole punch, creating my own looseleaf pages.

 

Best regards,

Patrick

This could be your first mistake!

I use one of Hermes diaries/journals and am ashamed to say just the refill is £75.00 ($110) - the paper is silky smooth, but bleeds through and because weeks are printed back to back I can't use a fountain pen without ruining the previous or next page.

If I were you I would ask LV if they have a sample sheet to test and use your favourite ink on it.
