Someone I've chat with Saturday about stickiness in vintage LV told me to try baby powder inside and it worked out fine: stickiness gone. The inside of the canvas just absorbed the powder it seems. I've spread it all around and in the corners with an old tooth brush.
LV Resellers.... Japan?

Baby powder will temporarily tone down light stickiness at best, turn into a clumpy, nasty mess at worst. It is not a permanent fix. You can try it first, but unless you remove the coating, as soon as it turns humid the stickiness will come back. It is caused by deterioration of the coating.
Ok thank you. I will see on the long term how it will turn out and try something else you recommended if necessary.
2022 update: I’ve had good success with Japanese resellers- my favorite right now is from luxe-brand-cerisier. They have super fast shipping through fedex and since I live in California it’s here within 2-4 days! I purchased the bag in my photo and the only issue I had is the storage smell but have gotten rid of most of the smell (dryer sheets and just airing it out in fresh air will help a lot). I‘m very tempted to purchase from next-innovation, kind of bummed since I missed their last 30% off sale. Like with all resellers I would just authenticate with another party beforehand To be safe
yes! I found some resellers on eBay will have a huge sale like that, unfortunately I think it’s random as I only happened to be perusing their eBay page and found that they had that sale going on
I’m not sure if theres a way to subscribe to updates on eBay Too. 
here is the store I’ve recently bought from—https://www.ebay.com/usr/luxe-brand-cerisier
this was the store who had a good sale going on a few days ago—https://www.ebay.com/usr/next-innovation
Of note I’ve bought from this store recently— https://dct-ep-vintageluxurystore.com/— as they were popular with a few YouTubers and it was an OK experience, I felt the photos of the bag online had a filter on it versus what I received But I think it’s a hit or miss with all these resellers— I would just study the photos carefully.
aww thanks for the reply, really appreciate, i have bought from next-innovation in the past, they were good.
Agree, they are getting sneaky lately with the photos. Zoom in every angle to look at. They are trying to hide flaws of the items by take from certain angle and would show in a shade area of the picture instead.
yes definitely! i Should have done that and unfortunately with dct-ep Japan, i didn’t get what I thought I saw in the photos. And for the price I got it for even with a discount, wasn’t worth it. Lesson learned though !
Hello,
I won 3 bags from the seller japan_monoshare eBay auction and got the three bags for a bargain
- speedy 35 200
-LV vanity bag Cannes black epi 291
-another brand bag 84
I am from Europe and I got a message that I need to pay 181 euro for the import taxes. Is it to much? Or is still a bargain with the taxes included?

I bought 3 items from Japan_monoshare and I will just be honest with my review. When you look at the photos you will see not much defaults but when you have it in your hand you will see. I bought speedy 30 and there was a hole inside that was not listed at the advert.also the stamp on the other side torn because the leather was hard. I contacted them about it and they were nice to refund 30 dollar back. I bought also a wallet and guess what there was also problem with it and again it was not listed. I payed quite a lot import fees for the items and they are just not that great. I don’t know if I want buy again from them.
I only buy from Global.Elady (*) and never had a complaint re. the items' condition.
(* since I don't have an eBay account, I can only purchase from Japanese resellers that have an international website as well)

Yes I noticed that Japanese sellers become sneaky lately, they try to high flaws even with pictures. Don't give up, you just have to zoom in and maybe you will be lucky next time. I fee the same, but definitely try with another sellers.
