Preventing sticky pockets

If it’s in good condition leave it. My moms has lots of water spots/stains. Sigh.

In a similar situation with my LV Cosmetic Pouch PM, purchased from a humid climate. I'm thinking of going into LV to see if the sticky lining can be replaced. Did the replacement end up being free or did they charge you the $360? Also wondering if they would restamp the serial number

I have a black Epi and a monogram - both size 27. I bought them both preloved from Japan so they both had the sticky pocket issue. I followed the advice in the ‘rescue club’ to use unscented baby wipes to remove the sticky lining back to the base cotton underneath. It’s a messy job (have a bag handy to throw the wipes into and perhaps wear latex gloves) but very simple and effective. Both pockets on both bags are now useable as I removed all of the stickiness. A word of warning, it’s a lot easier on the Epi than on the monogram. I bought the Epi first and it was so easy I got a bit carried away with the mono - I have darkened the outside corner vachetta slightly while doing the external pocket.
let us know how you get on! If you do a search for Trocadero on the ‘bags in action’ thread, I’m sure you’ll come across a few including mine.

Hi what products did you use to remove the sticky pockets? For some reason I think I might have a moldy pocket in my Amazon GM I recently purchased from Whatnot.

Hi, I’m in the UK, I used Water Wipes (unscented baby wipes). Huggies Pure wipes are similar if you’re unable to get Water wipes.
