I will add that after being a Chanel owner for many years, these LV's are so much easier for me to deal with- too many times I was out of town with new Chanel bags and either the knob where they CC's rest came off or loose or the shoulder strap broke. Thus, whenever I go out of town the Chanels stay in their dust bags at home and the Lv's come with me--no mishaps or embarrassments with LV's so far.
Am I hard on purses? Do I carry too much? Probably yes to both. Hope this helps!!

Hi All! Just wondering if anyone has done this on an artsy? I'm so scared I won't wipe the woven part down evenly and it'll become uneven.

I've done this with my almost two year old speedyB when it was new and loved how it turned out so I also did it to my delightful too. I'm just worried about the intricate handle!

Hi yes, I did this on my Artsy almost a year ago check my pic post #241 it turned out perfectly on the handle, just be sure to wring the cloth out of as much moisture as possible before wiping down!

Hi jessica. Is my understanding correct that the repeatition every 3 months would only be the wiping and polishing? No need to put under the sun again?

And for the first 3 days, should it have to be direct sunlight? Like I would put my bag outdoor?

Hi Jessica, can you send to me a private message? I don't have an LV bag as of now. But I am planning to do this with my dooney & bourke bag with vachetta. I just dont know if it will work for my bag since it is a different bag. I can send pictures.

I bought a cabas mezzo last week that had a lot of water spots. I used LMB cleaner, conditioner, and protection on it but it still didn't take away water spots. It made them less noticeable but when I tried this method it made the spots blend in so much more!

Hey y'all, quick question. I just bought this from the LV store in San Francisco and it looks to me like it already has somewhat of a patina. It's just not as "white or light" as I expected. Should I still sunbathe it and wipe it down with a damp sick? I'm just worried about water spots.

Hi loves! I was going through the pages of this thread and it seems that most of your bags are either new or pretty clean to begin with. I just bought this bag used online and one side is pretty stained and dirty. I was going to order the LMB products but wondered if this method will work on it. I bought it with the intention of not babying it so I'm not expecting amazing results but I'll be happier if it was cleaner lol

It's beautiful! Congrats. I've used LMB and I wish I never did. I followed the instructions but it faded the brown trimmings on my vachetta. I wish I found this method before I put chemicals on it. GL and let us know how it turns out [emoji4]

I haven't bought the LMB kit because of so many mixed reviews. I was wondering if the patina champ method would work on it even though it's dirty.

Hmm that's a good question.. But I think it's for new vachetta, but if it works for already patina'd bags, I will definitely try this [emoji4]

Hi everyone

I am new to patina, I understand a lot of people adored the look of patina but at the moment I hope to keep my lv as clean and new as possible and minimise patina.

Could anyone please share some tips on how to do that? Should I keep it in dust bag if I'm not using and not out in the open?

I wonder how the lv store keep their unbought bags non patina.

Sorry if my post offend anyone, I know I will like the patina look later but now I just hope to keep my bag as new as possible coz its new.

In case ur wondering I have the Montaigne mm.

Thanks!!
