Talk to me about your VINTAGE LV pieces

[andymey]

Thank you
She is still in pristine condition : )
I've had her for years but still looks new and she always gets compliments when I take her out.
Every time I visit the LV store she never fails to make the SA's want to look at it and complement at how pristine she still is for an old gal.

Here is my nearly 30 years old Noe (made in January 1987). I purchased her on eBay Japan 2 years ago for less than 150 euros. The leather was a little dirty and had some water marks, as you can see on the first photo. I cleaned her with a magic sponge. The interior is nearly new and the canvas has no damages. I love her the second photo shows her after cleaning and caring.

Wow, you bring the Neo back to life! Great job!!

I'm not home right now to take a mod shot but here is a size comparison with some newer styles..

It is slightly larger than a Pochette Metis but not as deep do holds about the same.

Saint-Jacques was one of the best selling bag for years. There are many of them out there and they usually sell for small prices. I adore this bag and I am glad to see so many LV lovers still rocking them!

I used Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream, put a little on a Q-tip and applied along the closed zipper, let it dry about 5 min. and wiped the zipper with a soft dry cloth until it was shiny again. Purchased from Amazon about $7.00, see the link below. I also use this polish on the hardware of Vintage LV bags that I have restored. Hope this helps! [emoji2]

Hello, I tried using the Blue Magic Metal Polish on the zipper of a Trousse 23 that I just purchased. Although the zipper looks better, there is now blue from the cream in between each of the metal grids. Did you experience this? If so, do you know how I can get the blue off of it? Thanks.

The same thing happened to me I bought a Speedy 40 from 1984 haha. Feels really weird in comparison to my own age (29)

I'm drooling over your Monceau--for all that it's so similar to the Pochette Metis, there's something about the Monceau that just makes my heart sing.
