wintermute said:you just let the bag sit inside its dustbag in the closet for years? Or it will still turning patina but in a very slow process?
The vachetta will patina - absolutely. It doesn't matter if you leave the bag in the dustbag, and place it in the dryest part of the house away from all forms of light for the next several years. I have some LV bags that I bought from 2 years ago that I still haven't had the chance to use yet (because I'm currently still using some of my other LV bags), and I'm seeing this happen. Albeit, the patina is obviously slower and you can only tell the difference by comparing the outer vachetta to the interior vachetta of the same bag.
