Hello fellow LV lovers,

It seems that the vachetta leather is a big concern with many who are contemplating on buying the Azur (including me!). We all know that the Azur looks fabulous when it's brand spankin' new

, but what do we think of it with patina?

I am currently collecting some pictures of the Azur speedy with patina & wanted to share them with all of you. Maybe it will help some of you with your decision & clear up some questions. HTH!

What are your opinions? Do you love/hate the patina'd Azur?

I think it looks good! unfortunately, I just cannot pull off azur!

I think it looks fine. The bad patina I've seen on the mono speedy looked so trashed and dirty but maybe that's not really patina but dirt! LOL!

I just LOVE the Azur, I see it's on your wish list too!

I think it looks better with a little bit of patina.

My Azur speedy is a slight patina and I loooove it!

SweetPurple · Apr 21st, 2008, 08:44 PM

I like it better with light patina/golden as long as it's all even.
