my first LV! need your inputs =)

Congrats! I don't have an LV, but I know that the others stuff their bags and store them in the dustbags.

Vachetta is the leather on the handles and also used for the trim of the bag.
Patina will happen to the vachetta over time, meaning they will turn honey colored and eventually darken.
 
Congrats on your new bag!!! I just got my first LV as well last week!!! Its an amazing bag. Love it!! I also want to get the speedy 25 or 30 later too, it is so classic and a great everyday bag. It great you are asking all the questions that I want to know about to care for my LV. Thanks everyone for the great tips.

Enjoy!
