Hi everyone, I did the sock thing before using my new speedy 35 b. But I can't get over the fact that my handles are getting dirty really fast. After 2 weeks I cleaned them again and a little dirt came off. Just afraid of drying out my handles if i do this too often... I didn't treat it with anything and i like to keep it that way..

I followed your method for my 4 day old speedy b 35 and gosh my vachetta is beautiful!!! The shine is magnificent!!! Thank you!!!
Hey l just bought a speedy b 35 I I sprayed it with kiwi protect all first, then I set it in the sun for 3 days for about an hour each, then I did the wet sock dry sock thing and my vachetta is so pretty, isn't dirty, and doesn't look dry at all!!! If you wanna see pics l'll post them for you!!!
There's no dirt on my handles. I don't plan on carrying it by hand until there's a darker patina.
Nice!👏👏👏 did u use the damp socks method? On this bag?
Polishing it brings out the natural shine also kinda seals it to keep the dirt offif it drys fast you can polish it the same day
Hi! I didn't read in your directions about polishing. Did I miss this?! What do you suggest re: polishing?! As in, what do you use, how ?! TIA
LoVe it! Did you polish w the jewelry cloth after your used this method?! Also wondering, did u do the wet cloth thing to the piping ? TIA
You can also use a white tee or towel .So does everyone use a damp sock?! Can i use a yellow micro fiber cloth instead? I only wear black socks (lol) so i have to buy a new pair if it's advised to only use the sock.. TIA
Just purchased a new to me Stephen and it has an uneven patina. Some water spots, dirt etc. I have always been a "purist" with my LV's but something about this one being preowned makes me want to clean it. Do you think this method will work on bag from 06? The Stephen has soooo much vachetta that I'm a bit nervous but this pix are very tempting!
I did this to my Keepall (without strap) in August after it had two months to "adjust" and had time to sun bathe a couple times without use. It's now November, and after moderate use, the handles have NO discoloration, stains, or dirt marks. The patina is still kind of light, but shows no water marks or dirt. This technique really works! A great natural way to protect your vachetta from dirt! Thanks!
