Read the post right above this . Also Louis Vuitton doesn't want you to put anything on any of thier bags but water because it can make them crack over time :))))



Hi. I was told by my SA once a long time ago that it is ok to use leather "conditioner" on vachetta without risk of cracking, etc. What is your SA's take on this? I seems it should be fine. I have seen lots of cracked vachetta on ebay and certainly want to avoid this.
 
Ok i tried it on my neverfull it's old so already been in the sun so I didn't tan it as I had done that a few times already you can't tell the difference and it dried right before my eyes!

As you can see the one from a week ago and the after shot look the same!

I summed my delightful today for an hour so will try this on her in a few days :)
 
I am buying a brand new Azur NF GM next week and want to do this process versus LMB. But, I live in AZ with harsh sunlight. Can I set my bag on the stairs underneath my skylight and not turn it since there are no windows to face? All of my mono bags have been treated with LMB and the patina is very even and pure with no spotting. I am going to try the wipe down on my patina'd mono bags first. I don't want a dark vachetta against Azur but worry about the long-term effects of LMB on my mono bags.
 
Did you take before and after pictures?

Sorry for the late reply. No I didn't. My leather wasn't "bad" or dirty really. I had done LMB on it and it left a residue texture on the leather and some slight streaking. The patina was coming along but it was ever so slightly uneven in some spots. This method took off the residue feeling and made the patina even more beautiful and even!
 
Used this process then did the protection phase of lmb got a very even color very happy and feel like its protected now.
