Help! Does Louis Vuitton Mono canvas darken over time? Over fade?

[booksandbags]

Hi LoVely ladies!

I recently bought this speedy 30 on bonz that had been previously authenticated here.

However, today I was changing into it from my Mono NF MM which I bought at the LV boutique and the canvas was much darker than my NF. I've only had my NF since October so I don't think it could have faded that much...

Does LV canvas darken over time or did I purchase a really good fake by accident?

Here is the speedy, and a pic of my speedy canvas next to my NF canvas.

It's normal to have slight different hues or saturation of the canvas.

Yes it's normal and depends on the batches of canvas off the rollers. I think I remember my speedy having more of a green hue to the monograms. Some canvases have more of a gold hue to the mono I think. Or the seller may have put some kind of cleaner/conditioner on it?

Oh, I just remembered. Sometimes my mono speedy looks nice and defined after I wipe it down. It must be dust that makes it look lighter. Wondering if your NF needs a light wipe?

I've found that mine get darker and glossier with time.

I've also found that the LV's on my older bags (especially my vintage ones) are more "greenish" yellow than yellow-gold. You can see the difference if you hold up my new and old bags.
