Is the Damier Azur too hard to keep clean?

[CMM]

NO problems with my Azur Galliera. The vachetta is the same as mono, so it does patina. If anything gets on the canvas I just wipe it off with a clean white towel. It is no more maintenance for me than my mono stuff.

This is my Damier Azur Speedy 30, I've had it for a little more then one year now. Not hard to keep clean

I've gotten red lipstick on my vachetta & azur canvas only to have it wipe clean with alcohol free baby wipes! I treated my vachetta with Wilson's leather & suede protector. I LVOE my Azur Speedy 30! I do not carry it by hand but over the crook of my arm so oils/sweat & lotions don't sink into & darken the handles unevenly. Carrie284 your Azur looks nice with honey color patina! Mine is still very pale & I can't tan it any becuase of the cloudy weather.

Great if you take care of it! I have an Azur Speedy 30...got it in June and have only used it 3 times...so I feel like mine will remain in good condition...and I only wore so few times not because I am babying it but because I have other bags that need love too...plus since it is a classic...it will always be in style so IMO it is ok if I can't get to it right now. KWIM?

I know how much you love your bags ( I still reeling over your new handbag closet lol! )

My Azur is almost 2 years old and I have used her often. The canvas have been very easy to take care of, and the patina given the bag a 'warm and fuzzy' feel making the bag that much more beautiful.

I mean dirt from everyday use, but also from jeans -blue. How do u fight with them? maybe you are so tired of your hard to keep clean azur?

 

[nici luvs lv]

that's why i'm not a fan of damier azur! just love looking at it

 

[Cari284]

I have had mine (Azur Speedy 30) for more then a year and it never got dirty

That's why I will never ever own one and I don't like Azur or white in general. I prefer the darker colours like Damier Ebene and black anyway.

 

[Phédre]

Never had any problems with it, just wipe it with babywipes now and then!

 

[claudis_candy]

hmm.. I dont know what should I think now! some people say that azur gettin dirty easy and some people disagree with that. Unless I will buy Ebene!!

 

[Div4life]

I haven't had any problems...but then again that is not my everyday bag..Mine looks great! I have had since June 2009 and it is in pristine condition.

I have had my Azur Speedy since July also and it hasn't gotten dirty. I haven't used it when I wear dark jeans or shorts though- in case of color transfer. I've seen the blue dye on vachetta - not my bags- so that makes me afraid!

 

[MyCocoCabas]

Hmmmm...this has me concerned now because I really want an Azur NF. When people talk about color transfer are they talking about onto the canvas? Would you have to be worried about color transfer from a dark shirt if you were using the NF as a shoulder bag?

from dark shirt-no! but jeans always gettin dirty light colour purses! Ebene and mono are outside the threat

I got red lipstick on the canvas & vachetta of my Azur Speedy & I arrived home with it 30 minutes later to clean it with babywipes & it worked like a charm! You could never tell the mishap even happened! The vachetta dried back to normal color. I love my blue & cream beauty! I've never had a color tranfer problem as of yet (knock on wood)!
