Help and Beware of Discolorization of Vernis

[afcgirl]

Thanks for all of your replies. LV said they can't repair it. And all they could do is "apologies". I believe that if this phenomenon is common in Vernis, the least LV should do is to warn/advise the customers before they buy it. I would see this as a manufacturing "defect" and I am considering taking it all the way with LV. Why doesn't our Vernis type shoes (not LV brand) discolour ? Why doesn't our Vernis type handbag (not LV brand) discolour ? That is why I believe that this is a manufacturing defect and LV is be responsible/liable for this.

I agree, that seems like a manufacturing defect. I almost think they should stop selling Vernis unless they can fix the problem. I would not have known about it if I had not read these boards, and that is not fair to those who buy without that knowledge. It is not like these are inexpensive bags.

Does anyone know how susceptible the darker colors are to getting discolorized?

Fuschia discolour?

Its not the color - its the material its made out of, so all vernis has the possiblity of discoloration

welcome to the club, Challenger. There were several posts made by TPFers (me included) about the horrors of vernis changing colors. I have a pink, silver and beige vernis and they all turned yellowish. My silver is even worse! The glue started coming out of the seams, I posted a photo so you can see. After several discussions, there was a concensus that if ever you want to get another vernis, just stick to to dark colors like blue or red. I brought the silver vernis to LV for repair because, the discoloration I can accept, but the glue stains??? Unfortunately, the SA said they could not do anything about it.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this. Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you but I'm curious to know whether this is an ongoing issue with newer light colored vernis items. I have an alma bb in rose angelique and I'd be heartbroken if it discolors.

Thanks for sharing this! I am shocked ! I am going to avoid buying any light color vernis in the future... so far, what I have is red and dark pink.
