Stunning! The Noe was the first LV I bought in the mid 90's. I used it for 2 years then sold it, I really wish I would of kept it after seeing this picture. The patina on my bag was no where near the gorgeous patina on yours.

This is bar none my favorite LV bag. It has already proven that it will stand the test of time and gets more beautiful every year IMO.
 
Hey guys

The azur speedy was my first purchase late last summer. I don't use her very often but the patina is kind of a pink tone. Don't know if you can really appreciate it in the pictures. Is it normal to look pinkish before turning brown or does the azur line have a different type of vachetta? *confused*

Why is it that some vachetta handles patina & are shiny and others are not? I have abag that i bought new and babied, as it patinated, it kept the same matte finish it had since i bought it. but i bought one pre-owned & it is an even lighter patina but has a shiny, glaze-like appearance. is this due to many factors of the oxidation process?

i never touch the handles with my hands ever. and never put lotion on my arms. is this a factor? i'm not considering that it could have been treated simply because i know so many people who have natural, shiny patinas.

i find that i appreciate both appearances.

Yes! my azur artsy had this awkward pink tone before it started to look that liiiight TAN color. dont worry! think of it as a light sunburn that will go away before a tan appears
