I was hesitant in trying this but I took the plunge yesterday on my looping mm. I am loving the honey color. Can someone tell me more about the "sun tanning"?

You did the water sock/dry sock method? Do you have a photo please how it turned out?
The method discussed here in the thread explains sun tanning as putting your bag for 3 days straight in the sunny place inside the house for 1 hour each day, rotating it in after 30 minutes. Then on day 4 to do the wet sock/dry sock method.

Ahhhh so beautiful! Thank you for sharing detailed photos.
You are so brave with your new Speedy. But you did it with your neverfull and it's absolutely gorgeous! I can see how you had no fear repeating the process with your speedy.
I hope I can get the guts to do this too sometime. Did you tan your speedy and neverfull for 3 days prior to treatment on the 4th day?

Yup in front of the window but not directly from the sunlight. I let it oxidize that's what the SAs term used.😊 And I've done the damp cloth (almost dry) wiping too with my older vachettas to clean the dirt. I had the guts to do it when I saw this post last year 'coz I remember an SA told me about wiping the vachetta too with a damp cloth to even the patina.

Your patina is perfect!! Great pics! How often would you say it was out in the rain/got wet. I would love of my bag aged to that color and am excited that you say it works!

You're welcome! It scared me to try this method at first so I tried it on part of the strap that would have been covered up anyway. Once I saw that it worked well I went on to do the rest of my bag.

My Alma PM Monogram has a lot of Vachetta on it and it's 3 months old,--is it too late to apply your method? In any event, thanks for sharing your secret.
