Your Turenne looks gorgeous!!
Do you use any leather conditioners in addition to the patina champ method or just the wet sock/cloth? I've seen some posts that say the leather can dry out.

On this bag I haven't done anything else. I waited 6months between wetting it to prevent it from drying out and so far it has worked well. On a different bag, my NF, I had to get the upper trim replaced after my cat chewed on it so I wet it several times in the course of a week letting it dry between. At the end of that sequence I put leather conditioner on it and it looked quite nice after I buffed it with a dry cloth. The trim has almost caught up in color to the rest of the bag. This thread has taught me that there's no reason to fear vachetta.
Thanks so much for your response!! I have a speedy b 35 in mono I've terrified to use because I don't want to get it dirty (I know its crazy). I have the classic speedy 30 in de which is much more carefree for me. I know I need to gain some courage
What conditioner do you use? I was looking at Lovin my Bags and the Cadillac brand. They seem to have good reviews.Torn on what to do with my new Noé.... This method, baby wipes method, LMB method, or leave it alone. [emoji33] Any update on long term effects. Thanks. [emoji3]
I've heard more positive than negative reviews about LMB, so I ordered it and tried it on my Artsy and my Speedy B Mono. My Artsy was fine but for some reason it left a sticky residue, I followed the directions to a t. My Speedys' brown trim (parallel to stitching on vachetta) was "bleached" in some areas, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone only because I had a negative result 😕 That was two years ago, I just tried the Cadillac cleaner, which was recommended to me by my Chanel Sa for use on my caviar and lambskin bags. I also used it to clean the vachetta on my nf, so far so good [emoji108] it's only been 2 mths though.Thanks so much for your response!!

Thanks for responding!!! I was thinking Cadillac was the better of the two. I'll order some and give this a try. Thanks so much for your advice
Yes I agree! I just tried it a few days ago on my caviar bag, I tested a small area in the back, so far everything looks good. I'm going to do the whole bag now, idk why I'm so scared to do it, my sa was polishing the lambskin bags with it at the boutique lol.Thanks for responding!!!

Nope! DE is a carefree, all weather bag. Enjoy! Perfect first LV I'd say!
Yay!! Thank you!! I kept seeing stuff about the vachetta and was getting nervous if that affected me! Yay!!! Glad I picked the right one! So excited to use it!
You will love it! It can go with you rain/shine and I think it matches with a lot! I have a ton of DE bags but I still wanna add the Totally in DE!
Where can you buy the Cadillac cleaner? Is it available e.g. in a supermarket?
À friend or mine will go the States soon and I wanted to ask her to buy some for me.
BTW, what where the other products recommended to clean the Vachetta??
And, if I clean the Vachetta (I did that with laundry dertagent!!! Works great!!!) , what product shall I use to avoid that the Vachetta dries out?
Thanks for your answers.
