my pre-loved 9 year old speedy 35. I had to clean the handles and I got this gorgeous even dark honey patina. I love her! and I, unfortunately, couldn't clean that ugly black spot.=( but other than that, I can't complain.

You did a great Job... Nice color

i have been using her every single day from the day i bought her which was 12.18.11! that's what also drew me to the azur, how it would look after the patina process. i really loved the fresh vachetta too, but i love it even more now.

i was definitely scared at first because of how i took care of my other bags from coach, which.. i never really did take care of them. ive havent really babied her per se, but i have been careful of what jeans i do wear and got rid of the ones that stained my other bags. ha! which were only a couple.


okay on to pictures...

aww thank you so much! i let it develop naturally. i must thank this texas weather. i have used her in the rain as well, so im sure that played a factor. the only thing i make sure to do is to cover the handles if its really wet out, but if its sprinkling i don't cover her and just make sure she dries properly.
 
Oldest to newest bags with patina: Hudson 2006, Saleya 2007, Palermo 2008, Cerises is from 2005 with handles replaced in 2010, Retiro 2011 & the Monceau is not patina'd (dyed calfskin)
