That’s gorgeous! How long was the wait? I’m planning on getting the MWT bumbag too but in black leather so it’s low maintenance. How are you finding it so far? Was it what you expected? congrats on your lovely purchase

It took exactly 4 weeks so it was quicker then they estimated which was 6-8 weeks. I was surprised at how quick this came to me. And I’m absolutely in love. It’s better then I thought it was going to be. I went back and forth on the black but went with the Vachetta since I have the Palm Springs with the black. And I haven’t had issues with Vachetta in the past.

Beautiful!

Thank you!!

So glad I picked the original to try first, I love it! My speedy b has an amazing patina and she’s from 2011, so I’m hoping this will f suit. I may patina champ this one and speed up the water proofing just a bit, undecided at this point. Here she is with her new friend.
Thanks to everyone for all the help :flowers:

She is so comfy and conveniently hands free, love her as a sling front or back and as a hobo. I believe this will be a permanent part of my collection

Beyond beautiful, I just started wearing mine. I love it. It’s already starting to get dark. How do you water proof?

Go to YouTube and look up patina method or patina champ. There’s also sprays but I don’t do that :coolio:
Here’s my Speedy B from 2011 next the new Vachetta from my Bumbag.
(please note I still don’t carry this bag in heavy rain, but Vachetta over time develops its own weather proofing through the patina process)
And of course do your research before trying anything and use a light hand. This is just my experience I am not a pro and I am just sharing not suggesting or trying to teach.
Anything anyone tries on their bags is at their own risk but this has worked well for me. :girlsigh:

Congrats! Couldn’t agreed more. The most comfortable and versatile canvas piece in my LV collection

I am so torn between the mwt vachetta or black leather. My biggest concern is water spots, etc on the vachetta. It is really reassuring to see a lot of people having success with the patina champ method, but black leather would be no fuss. I live in a place with a lot of snow and i have two young kids so kinda leaning towards the black leather.

If the black leather combo was available as part of the regular line would any of you have chosen that over the vachetta version? most of the posts i see are for the regular version, so are my vachetta concerns silly?

I feel the same. I love the vachetta look but I know I won't enjoy the bag, I will worry too much. I'm looking into the black leather.

I’m also interested in buying the bumbag and have the same concerns as you, so yes am looking at the black option
