hi everyone,,

I'm new to this forum and I'm so glad I've joined, I'm new to the world of LV as well, I have recently purchased a Delightful mm and I love it, I wanted to get a neverfull in DE, I love the pattern and also I was worried about the vachetta changing color but when I saw the delighful I just loved it. And after I saw all of your lovely bags with the patina I just love it more.

Will since my bag is still new I wont be posting a picture of the tan. However, and I'm sorry if I'm supposed to post this question on another thread, as I'm thinking of getting something in azur (either a speedy or a neverfull) for my next LV purchase; I wanted to know what do you think of the dark patina color on the azur print as it's a big contrast in colors between the handles and the rest of the bag itself.

thank you...

I won't buy azur because of how they look with patina. I know some people say they look nice with dark handles, but the ones I see in real life with patina that might be pretty on a mono bag look really bad with dark leather vachetta against the light azur canvas. I borrowed a picture I saw somewhere to show you what I mean. Granted this person let her handles get really dark, but you can still see the contrast at the chads (where the handles attach to the bag and it's not dirty) and you can see how there is no comparison how the tanned vachetta looks against azur compared with how pretty it looks against mono canvas. Tanned azur bags just honestly don't look good in my opinion. I really don't even love them with honey colored patina. The shade just doesn't look good with the light blue and creme canvas.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about (not my bag):

I appreciate the clarification, I know what you mean,, I like the azur print however I always worry how it would look with a dark patina,, I think it's ok with the monogram canvas as well since there is not much contrast in the colors. I guess this is a picture of an azur speedy...

I never saw an azur bag with such dark patina in person; I think it's ok (sure shows how much the owner loves the bag),,, well it's a matter of personal preference I guess.



thank you,,

Congrats on you new Delightful! I think patina on azur looks gorgeous, if its clean patina. The contrast is stunning in my opinion:smile1:

I got a pre-loved speedy for Christmas 2011. The date code is 2008. When I got the bag, it already had the patina, so here is how it looks: (sorry if the pics might be big!)
