The Monogram Canvas material that Louis Vuiton uses for their wallets and handbags is lightweight and strong, resistant to scratching (yippee) and waterproof.
But you have to be careful, to use common sense; you need to baby your bag to make sure it is around for years to come.

To help your wallet or bag last, you must:
Avoid contact with rough surfaces such as floors, countertops with rough spots, cement, etc.
Protect the handbag from shocks of any kind including intense heat or extreme cold. Don't leave your handbag in the car on a hot sunny day to bake!
Keep the bag away from moisture and direct exposure to sunlight. Prolonged direct sunlight can change the color of the material and the leather trim.

If you do develop a spot or mark on the Monogram Canvas material, be sure to wipe the surface as soon as possible. Only use a dry, clean cloth to wipe the bag.
Do not, under any circumstances, use soap or a solvent. These items can damage your Louis Vuitton handbag, which would be very very sad.

Your authentic designer handbag should have come with a Louis Vuitton fabric dust bag or storage bag if you purhcased it new from a retailer. This fabric bag is meant to be used whenever you store the bag. Be sure to always use this as it protects your investment while it is "sleeping" in your closet.
If you purchased the Louis Vuitton handbag online or second hand, it may not come with a dustbag. However, you can make your own fabric bag or you can purchase a replacement online. eBay is a great source for replacement dustbags, as well as authentic designer Louis Vuitton handbags.
