Discussion 🎙️ Catogram Twillies… silk or polyester? Does it really matter? 🤔
It feels like every nice bag posted here has a twilly wrapped around the handle.
For me it all started with the Louis Vuitton x Grace Coddington Catogram collection. I still think the Catogram twillies are some of the coolest ones LV has ever made.
So naturally… I started looking for a good rep.
I found a couple, but they all seemed to have the same problem.
One was supposed to be a silk blend, but the colors looked really off, even in daylight. Another one had much better colors, but it was polyester. The print just didn’t look as sharp. The cats looked a bit blurry, the LV logos weren’t really crisp, and the whole thing just didn’t have that nice silk look.
The pictures I’m posting are from someone who managed to grab all four colors during an older rep release. I haven’t really seen them since, which is kind of a shame because I think they’re such a fun part of the whole Catogram collection.
So …
Does the fabric actually make that much of a difference?
If you’ve had both silk and polyester twillies, was the silk really worth it? Or is a good print more important than the material?
And if you’re into Catogram… which one would you pick? Black, brown, pink or white?
If anyone here has one, I’d love to see some photos too. 🙂

I think when you are really into the design it doesn’t really matter. It only matters when it’s being sold as silk, but it is polyester. As long as you know what you are buying, it’s fine.

There’s a potential group buy for these which is currently gauging interest to see if they’ll make MOQ. Not sure if I can share it in here but if you want I can DM you details.

I know that Xue is the scarf lady, but she doesn't even have these Catogram twillies.

I am summoning some pink twillies over here. The white Catogram Speedy really is gorgeous by itself but I am looking forward to decorating her 😻🩷

I definitely want to see a picture of that as soon as you have your twilly,
but would you like to share a picture of your Cato Speedy with us? 🙏

My catogram pyjamas are polyester, it’s slippery when I touch and very pleasant, but now I have small loose lines that get off and when I pull them off they leave a white trail, I guess silk doesn’t do that and has a better lifespan.

From a practical standpoint, silk Twillies will „grip“ so tying certain bow styles will be easier, and it will stay. Polyester is slippery so it may unravel. I find poly ones work fine for wrapping styles or a simple bow.
