Well... it's not a handbag... & you were researching, I think it's okay, just don't let it happen again,

Beautiful scarf BTW, how could you resist?

annie9999 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 11:18 AM

so sorry but i've cheated again-

i haven't bought lv in years but have always wanted a noe. love the old styles with a story and when i saw this unusual beauty i had to have her.

Wow, annie, is that the all vachetta noe? Beautiful!! Are you going to spray it to protect it from water stains??

annie9999 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 11:39 AM

thanks, Mid-. i don't know what to do. i posted on the lv sub to get opinions. my inclination is to use her and not get too neurotic- what do you think?

Juda · Nov 2nd, 2009, 11:45 AM

annie - it is gorgeous, I love it
It is so unique, there is something very special about this bag, can't figure it out yet

BTW I also love your H addition

annie9999 · Nov 2nd, 2009, 03:36 PM

thanks Juda, you are, as always, gracious and kind- not to forget fabulous taste in bags.

annie9999 - that's a gorgeous LV. Love the vachette leather. A very special piece.

I love the way vachetta developes a patina - but it always looks a bit used and worn in after the first few weeks.
I'd be tempted to just let it be, and enjoy the way it weathers - but I am also completely crazy and love older bags.

Personally I would treat it so it won't get awful water stains, then use it without worrying too much. It will patina nicely.

docride's vachetta speedy in her LV thread is omg beautiful.

Would love to see how yours turns in the coming years!!

uclaboi- thanks, i have always wanted a noe- something about a bag that has been around since 1932- so when i saw the vachetta i couldn't leave it.

vintage leather- i also love older bags and patina but i don't want to mistreat it and have it just look dirty. i've been "talking" to docride on the h sub and she is fantastic. really knows vachetta and products.

mid-- you are amazing and a mind reader. doc posted the speedy picture in the h reference section and it is truly amazing. it has definitely sold me. i will definitely post pictures. you know how much i love to post pictures.
