How do you take care of canvas? so ✨!
I’m really a total newbie to LV and lux bags in general, but on the old pieces I’ve been spraying a white cotton cloth (a cut up white t shirt specifically) with a spray-on leather sneakers cleaner my husband bought at a market (it was being demo’d by hustlers and looked to do a good job) and rubbing the canvas in small circular motions, then wiping a very thin layer of clear bear wax on it and leave to dry. It’s very satisfying seeing the dirt come off onto the cloths! And then I use Brasso with q-tips on the hardware (while covering up vulnerable areas of the bag with Saran Wrap for protection).

If anyone knows any better way of cleaning old pieces, please let me know or direct me somewhere on the forum! Like I said, I’m a total newbie and I am willing to take advice, and I will listen if someone says I’m doing something incorrect :-)

My newer pieces I haven’t put anything on at all.
 
My latest vintage find an old style pochette accessories made in 1996. Was not really used by the orignal owner and was left tucked away in a drawer. As a result the strap was really stiff and has now started to separate and the zip was really, really tarnished. Apart from that it is in wonderful condition and I am really excited to add it to my collection.

Been wanting an old Ellipse pm for quite a while now, over a year. Finally bit the bullet and here she is, and I love her! Even more beautiful in the flesh. I added the strap from my Boétie pm and a tag/lock which my friend kindly gave me as a gift.

She’s from 1998 and in really nice condition, suits my frame and doesn’t look bulky on.

Can’t wait to take her for her first outing tomorrow :-)
 

These are my Vintage Lous Vuitton bags.
All of them are more than 20 years old and great condition !
