Do you think you can do this method after LMB?

I tried this on several of my bags even after I did LMB on them and I could see/feel the layers of chemicals coming off on the cloth. It looked really dirty!
I've had some 50/50 chance on my bags coming out good after LMB and the other half weren't so good-- very streaky and blotchy looking! I tried this method on the ones that were streaky and it blended it out evenly and you can hardly see the streaks anymore. So, I'd def do this even after LMB and for older pieces. On my 10 yr old Speedy I didn't have to tan her, I just started with wiping her down and it was great! Good luck!

I'm on the verge of trying this to my speedy tonight! Won't using just water dry out the vachetta after a while though? The pictures look good though! I can only hope mine patina just was nice after two years of everyday use!

I did this too, except with leather wipes I purchased from Danier (Canadian Leather Company). I figure the leather wipes would be kinder to the vachetta. I had a water spot on the speedy handle that I got when it was brand new (I thought my hands were dried when I picked up speedy but had water still on my rings and that soaked into the handles). Anyway, the leather wipes blended the water spot and I can't see it anymore.

i tink im the worst LV bag owner..hehe my speedy azur (4+year) handles has become patchy of dark & medium brown due to hands holding the bag. I kept in cupoboard for sometime, due to humidity in SG the leather parts turn moldy! omg!! i dont know what to do but to use baby wipes to wipe off all the leather parts and let it air in my window + sunlight etc. Now looks alright but the patchy part will nv go off i guess..im so tempted to get a brea but worry abt the patina etc, so changing my mind if i should get alma for easy maintence..

did you get a new bag and try this yet ??

I did get my bag but a little scared to try it!

I'm torn between LMB and this method. Which will I use?it's a brand new bag. I don't like too much patina.

Can you explain why? And what do you mean when you say if u don't like the patina?? Trying to understand the difference between ur method vs LMB..... I did ur method on 3 of my bags and am pleased with the results. Thanks.

I was going to do lmb but after this post am leaning toward your method -- except why do you say lmb is better if you don't like patina?

If you don't like the patina dark then do LMB because wetting your bag and tanning it will make it darker way faster then lmb . )
