Here is an update approximately 6 months later (I quotes my original post as well) I used the protection phase (only) of LMB as well as this on my brand new delightful and I've been extremely happy with it carried it pretty often and it has a very nice very light even patina. I have gotten a couple things on the fat strap and they've wipes right off and left no marks!

View attachment 2555151View attachment 2555152I just tried it on my 4 month old Pallas handles and other than very slight darkening, it came out perfect. I don't think you can even see the difference in patina from before and after picture. First is before, second is after I used the wet cloth method. I actually can't wait for the handles to patina as I find it too stark on this bag. So happy that I can use it without the constant worry of uneven patina and rain. Thank you Jessicasimpson for sharing this amazing secret!!

Great thread. I used this on my Artsy previously treated with LMB and it came out more even and the streaks from LMB are less noticeable. I am confident this method will continue to even out the patina on it. I also used it on my keep all strap that I use with my Artsy for cross body option and it looks great! Thanks OP for this great info. Wish I would have known about this before I sold my delightful :shucks:

Great thread! Are those of you that have tried this method on NEW vachetta (without using any other products on the leather) still happy with the results?

ok ill tell my speedy patina secrets . When you get your new bag put it in the sunlight for 3 days just 1 hour at a time . Turn bag once during the hour . on day 4 take a white cotton sock wet it ....wring it out super good then wipe down all the vachetta evenly Dont Scrub . Then set it on your dresser and let it dry overnight in the morning take a dry sock and polish vachetta softly . now every 3 months wipe down and polish it again. After the first time i wiped it i wore it in the rain :storm: and no water spots at all. The reason you want to do this every 3 months is because you dont want the handle to turn black . That black is just dirt . The handle sould stay my color or a little darker its whole life and never blacken. Also when you wipe the vachetta also wipe the canvas to keep it clean . Not sure if this will work on an older bag that is dirty already .

Okay, I'm trying this method today on my almost 1year old Artsy. It has started to patina and has some spots on the underside of the handle, not sure what it is but I'm hoping this will even out the handle some. I have never treated the handle with anything, so I figure why not give this a shot?
