I am Russian, my whole family has been living in Hungary for 11 years.
I bought the bag in a boutique in Budapest.
You are so lucky to purchase in Europe I have a question when the bag is wet do you just set it to dry or dry it with a hairdryer up ? I was just caught in the rain but had an ebene bag with me. But where I love it rains a ton so I would love to know.

Thanks for the question!
I dry the bag by simply placing it on the table and stuffing it with paper.
I don't blow dry.

Okay I would like to ask you something buy I don't know how to do personal message. I have a youtube channel and I am planning to make a video on why not to be afraid of purchasing vachetta. Could I use your pictures? If not that is absolutely fine I thought I ask because they are perfect!!!

What a flattering offer!

Of course, take these photos.

If possible, put a link to my YouTube channel under your video (although it is in Russian).https://www.youtube.com/TheHRights
 
I want to add why I calmly walk in the rain with my Metis.
Untreated leather is the strongest in LV. It was she who was used in suitcases and established herself as the most durable.
I decided that if this skin has proven itself well for almost 170 years, then there is no point in processing it with something. She must live a fulfilling life.
And my calculation worked!

I found and subscribed and left you a comment. Wow you have a huge channel! Mine is very small!

I agree. I have a few vachetta bags and I was babying them until one day I saw a very old Chinese man with a very old LV suitcase and it was mainly vachetta. The bag had raindrops, scuffs and scratches like his face aged. I wish I took a picture the sight was a piece of art. Since then I use my vachetta bags fearlessly.

My yt is Reshmi_beautyaroundtheworld. I would love if you come by

Dear Reshmi!

I am glad that we found on YouTube, you are very sweet!
I subscribed to you.

If you allow me, I will also give you data on untreated LV skin.

The girl whose video I watched says that her skin is cracked due to the constant treatment with a cosmetic tissue. And she says that it is not necessary to treat such skin. As far as I know, the manufacturer says the same.

I am attaching a screenshot from her video and a link to this video.

I would be very grateful if you share a link to your video when it is ready.

It's nice to be in a circle of like-minded people!

Hi I purchased a pochette metis reverse on eBay it new condition although new with tags were mentioned probably due to the tags and dust bag and everything included. I received the authenticators response and that was that the bag is authentic but it’s structure is lightly loose and there’s light debris in the bag? Here are the pictures. What should I do. I feel like it’s really still looks nice.

Hello! According to all the laws of creating things, an uneven lining is a tailoring defect.
You decide what to do with the bag. It depends on the price you paid, the strength of the desire to have it and other things like that.
If you are ready to wait for a new one from the boutique, then it is better to hand it over.
uneven lining in the future may affect the design of the product.
Here is a photo of the lining on my bag.
So the lining on your bag is not a normal option. This is a missed defect in the product.
