Here's my 1yr old galliera. Treated x2 with LMB (most recently in Nov or Dec, dont remember for sure) and then using the suggested method by the "patina champ" earlier this morning. Lol ;)

I think the patina looks more even now (the pics look lighter than it is, it's more of a honey patina) It did darken up just a little but I'm fine with that. When I got it out of the closet today I thought it looked a little dry but now it no longer does. Overall I'm very happy with it!

The second photo shows my 3 month old Artsy and my 2 year old speedy . See how the color is not that different . The speedy will only get a tiny bit darker through the years if you do the sock trick . It keeps any dirt off and keeps the bag from turning that yucky black. :blah:

It is indeed perfect. Thank you soooo much for sharing. I did it with my new delightful MM last week. I hope that the patina of my delightful will be as gorgeous as the patina of your bags. I will be doing it on my new stresa also.

One question. Is it necessary to polish the next day? I don't understand the necessity of it..... Thanks again

Polishing it brings out the natural shine also kinda seals it to keep the dirt off :) if it drys fast you can polish it the same day :)

This is good info...need to remember to try this. Hoping to get my bag in a couple of weeks, it will be my first so I may be a little hesitate to try this but love the look after the process.
