First I have to say your speedy handles look amazing!

I just got a new Odeon PM today. I had her sit in the window for about an hour but rotated her a couple more times just because of all the piping and long straps. It's supposed to be nice the next few days so I'll make sure she gets more time in window. Curious if you can explain what the water does to the vachetta initially when you wipe it down for the first time? I'm not doubting you I'd just like to understand a little more I guess. Seems like we are told to steer clear of rain and so wiping it down seems pretty bold when the vachetta is still so new.

Hello . Wiping it down with water assures that it stay clean from all the oil, dirt and debree and dust that comes from daily use .Remember just because it may look clean doesn't mean it is. You don't want that dirt to slowly build up till one day you look and the bag the handles are black . Lol hope that helps .

Ok, that makes sense & I know what you mean about not looking dirty when it really can be. Thanks for your response!

Your patina is gorgeous!! I just got a new Totally MM...I like the idea of letting it sunbath and if I can get the nerve up to wipe down the handles like you described I'm going to do it! Thanks so much for sharing!

I could understand how this would work, in the same way that if you got a drop of water on your vachetta and immediately tried this method, you would have an even patina instead of a spot. Makes sense to me.
