I travel a lot by plane. I take the dust cover and put my bag in for the X-ray machine and when I have to put it under the seat for take off and landing. I don’t care if people think it’s weird. [emoji4]
That’s exactly what I do except with an envirosax bag instead of a dust bag (lighter and folds down into a tiny package). Airplanes are so gross because they never clean them.I travel a lot by plane.

I've never heard of these shopping bags b4, lots of pretty patterns and colors for cheap. Great idea.That’s exactly what I do except with an envirosax bag instead of a dust bag (lighter and folds down into a tiny package). Airplanes are so gross because they never clean them.
Hello All
I used the patina champ’s method on my brand new speedy 25. I purchased this bag on 14 February this year . I have always been afraid of vachetta but took the plunge. I absolutely love the results. I tanned the bag for 3 days, a little bit longer than the 1 hour as we have had very bad weather over here. I used a sock and water to clean the vachetta and polished it the next day. I love the results. Sorry I had to take the pics from my iPhone.

Hi sorry for the late reply, here are some pics. I tried to capture the bag as best I could, it’s abit gloomy in London today. My speedy is doing fine, the patina is a honey colour and looks great! I did this method on my Alma bb in mono and she looks great too.Hello I’m loving your speedy 25 mono and was wondering if you would post pics of her now to see how the vachetta is looking?? I have been really wanting a speedy b 25 in DA but I am afraid of vachetta! I have the nano speedy which only comes in mono and she has been holding up well but is not a year yet...
