What is Epi leather?

What is Epi leather?
Epi leather was one of the first leather lines created by Louis Vuitton. It is real leather and goes through a tanning and a dyeing process before the special coloration process is applied which creates the distinctive two-color effect. Several Louis Vuitton handbags and some wallets feature this type of leather.
