Hi all!
I have been searching on here at nausium the past month or so concerning 'dirty vachetta' and have never been so conflicted with a bag. I purchased my Mono NF (red interior) this past January. I have not worn this bag in snow or rain. I make every effort to avoid mother nature's wrath. Granted, I currently live and work in NYC (dirt everywhere).
After about 2 weeks with this bag I noticed the Vachetta trim starting to get dirty....especially the part that would go under my arm and on the ends of the bag. I washed my winter coat thinking that was the culprit but I still notice the dirt! I have had this bag for 2 months....is this normal? I am OCD however I just wasn't expecting to see this much wear on it just yet. Especially because I feel i am babying it.
It doesn't look like the Vachetta is turning yet (is that even possible so soon?) it just looks like light dirt is collecting on it. When it eventually does turn will the 'dirty' areas darken and look worse or will they be less noticeable?
I went ahead and purchased the 'love my bags' cleaner and conditioner but I don't know if I should use it or not.
I uploaded an example of what I am seeing though It feels like its worse in person. Help!
Thanks in advance for any information you guys can enlighten me with!!
