LV Patina Club - Show us your tan!

[LVpug]

I've had this bag for 18 years. I'm 21 so besides playing with it while I was 3, (my mom took it away from me around 5 or 6), I haven't used it much since it's so small. But it's got some gorgeous patina!

gorgeous patina 18 years later...wow

soo many people speak of how they do not like patina....I love it...I think everything looks better with a tan...great pics everyone...my collection is still pretty blonde so I am working on the tans and will post someday...hate the blonde naked brandnew look...patina is soooo beautiful!!!

Well, I have to post this here! This is a special order vachetta noe with a gorgy tan! Wish I could claim responsibility for the tan but it was that way when I got it but I did even it out and warm it up a little bit.

well out of my 4 bags these 2 have the more gorgeous patina

my vavin gm hasnt even started to patina yet, i hardly use it, and my speedy 30 is 3 years old so its dark.


these are my speedy 25 that i have had for about 1 year and my batignolles which i have had for about 1 year and a few months

I would have to agree with Sunshine......I like when it's light and new looking best.

my denim mini pleaty isnt tanning as well though, and its almost a year old....

Gorgeous bags! I'm new too LV and just bought a speedy 30. Should I be protecting the handles or is there a way to clean them when they start to get dirty looking? I really want that gorgeous honey patina, but I don't want the handles to get blotchy/uneven or blackish.

^you can use baby wipes, avery, there are some threads on this topic.

Though I don't dare to use the wipes on mine... I'm too paranoid. LOL
