Louis Vuitton Robusto 1 Briefcase (Epi versus Nomade)

The difference in price notwithstanding, which leather (Epi / Nomade) do people think would be a more interesting and/or
durable leather to own in the long term? Comments on either leather, or the briefcase in general welcomed and appreciated…thank you.

I really like the Nomad leather. I have the Honore and I think it is the best leather they produce, it has very small LV details and looks really good. Compared to the Epi it wears especially well also, by that I mean the leather develops unique shades with wear. If the price point isn't an issue then I would go with the Nomad... Granted it is about $2k more I believe

This bag has served me well. Taiga leather.

Also nearer the price of the Taiga and Epi leather another case I would consider is the Bottega Veneta... I can't remember the name but it looks similar to the Epi just a little more deconstructed and its in the same $ range and in my opinion better quality.
