If you find a pre-owned M6688 in good condition, do not hesitate. The Damier Graphite canvas is indestructible, the design is timeless, and the utility is unmatched. It is, simply put, one of Louis Vuitton’s greatest men’s releases of the last decade.

Run your finger over the Damier Graphite. The texture should feel slightly sandy/grainy, but the squares should be absolutely flat. Fake bags often have a "waxy" or overly shiny texture.
