LV, are you reading this!?!?
This is really beautiful, now that I will buy. LV needs to redesigned theirs to something like this. It looks nautical. I love it. Now I want to do the same thing. Could you let me know what paint did you use please? Thanks.
Wow thank you all for the lovely comments , when I received the bag it was in need of a good clean
so the first thing I did was wash the canvas with warm soapy water then I cleaned the hardware with Brasso and I didn't need to be to careful about getting any on the vachetta as I knew I was dying it
then I wiped the vachetta with simple baby wipes and let it dry overnight
I used Fiebings Navy Leather Dye and an artist fine brush , I did the piping first , I pushed it out as far as I could doing one side at a time (2 coats) next I did the chaps and handles (3 coats) letting it dry between coats
I then buffed it to remove any surplus dye and sealed it with 2 coats of Fiebings Acrylic Resolene again letting it dry between coats and buffed again, I'm really happy the way it turned out
Navy and white is my favourite combination I wish LV would bring out this line it's so versatile this one will be accompanying me on my upcoming cruise

+1- Such a professionally done job-you must be an artist!----I noticed the piping first, looks like the bag was manufactured that way. It's beautiful and I like it better than my Azur with vachetta. You should take a picture and send it to LV corporate.Wow. It looks incredible.
