Hi all! I’m just looking for some advice, I invested in my first LV for my birthday in August 2017 and have noticed this wear (image attached), it looks as if the colour of the leather has actually come away rather than worn. I’ve spoken to LV client services and they’ve been less than helpful and my nearest store is 2 hours away. Does this wear look normal? The rest of the bag is just starting to tan nicely. I’m very disappointed. Thankyou in advance :smile:

From the picture, it looks like maybe your blue jeans had been rubbing against that part of the bag? How often do you carry this neverfull? It honestly look like a normal wear and tear from the picture. Maybe in person it looks worse? If it is indeed your blue jeans color rubbing onto vaccheta leather, you may want to post a thread or look for a thread about how to get the color off. Good luck.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience and tips!! You're definitely right, it's more than just the lining, the canvas smells of the perfume too. I'm going to try the baking soda trick and sees it it works. Thanks again!!!

You are welcome! I also got come cedar spheres that I keep inside the Speedy B. I got them from the Vermont Country Store, but you can probably get them or something similar anywhere. I do hope you get the smell out.

It's funny, I don't mind the odor on my French Company Speedy, it is quite nice. The other one was very cloying. Oh, I also had skunk in my Neverfull thanks to my dog wiping his face off inside of it. That takes about six weeks in the garage to air out! :P

I do have a keyfob - it stays inside. My house keys are on the key ring. I usually put the house keys inside (while attached to the key ring) depending what purse I carry if Im concerned about the inside of the bag getting scratched/not.

Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate this!! It's also so helpful :smile: I think I'm going to keep mine as well...it's currently holding my cards nicely! Unfortunately it won't fit my keys so I have to look for something else for that. Do you keep your keys on the key ring and then drive with it in the ignition (if you have a car)? Thanks again!!

Here’s a picture of mine and how I use it:

I do use it as my ‘day bag’ but only when I’m out for the day, not at work. I was told by LV not to use anything to protect it, so I haven’t but i’m now wondering if that was the right choice. In person it looks as if the leather has already began to crack rather than discoloured, I’ll see what people recommend, thankyou.

Hmm, I would take it into LV since you have it less than a year. They may give you a new one. Do you have the receipt? It should have the SA’s name on it. Contact that SA with pics and see what he/ she said. Also if you don’t get too many response from this post, I would post a complete new thread so your post doesn’t get buried. some people here are truly experts (and I’m sure you are not the first one who had this kinda thing happen to their Neverfull), and they may have some bright ideas to rectify the veccheta.

The bag was purchased online, I’ve spoken to client services a few times and they told me not to use anything on the Vachetta, someone replied and said it just looked like dirt and to try a baby wipe but I think I am going to have to make the 2 hour journey to see what they will do. How do I create a new thread? Sorry, I’m new here! Thankyou for your help

When you go to LV forum, on the upper right corner there is a magnifying glass and next to that should be a red box says “post new thread”.

Try gently rubbing with a white polymer eraser.

Looks like normal wear and tear to me. Mine is similar and got to that stage pretty soon after I started wearing it. It's not just dirt/color rubbing, I think it's also wear to the leather. I have not done anything to mine and consider it normal for the type of leather and how fine a piece of it that trim is. Some people consider the damier ebene NF trim creasing a defect and to me that, too, is normal wear and tear. The leather is fine and any and all rubbing, holding, folding, etc. leaves traces. Enjoy your bag -- it's your wearing it that shows.

I have the same problem on the leather strap of my Neverfull DA. I never got the mark off and it just got worse.

I received a call from Bag, Borrow, or Steal today because a couple of weeks ago I submitted some bags for quotes. They called to ask why I didn’t sell to them and what they can do to better the experience. The truth was I received better offers from fashionphile. Just thought it was a little strange.
