When did Patina become feared?

[LV_Mama_AZ]

count me in for loving a nice honey patina . i really don't like the white look on my bags.

I HATE Patina, I like my bags to looks as new as possible!
Infact I think that when my bags get to the really patina'd stage I will probably stop using them alltogether as I personally really don't like it!

Add another one to the HATE PATINA column. I like the white leather and I wish I knew of a way to make it stay white.

I love patina. Love it, love it, love it!

Especially the MC line.....with no to light patina I think it's gorgeous!

TRUTH

I hate patina especially on my white MC Alma. I wish I can keep it looking pale forever.

I agree that some bags look better with more patina and some look better with none or very light patina. I, in general, like it though.

I didn't know how much I liked patina until I recently bought a used Batignolles that had a medium patina. If you can find a slightly used bag that is already broken in like that, I'd recommend it over buying new (if the price is right!) I still love my speedy but now that I've used a bag with REAL patina, I want my speedy to look the same way.

I love patina! I like the look of vintage sooooo much better.

I have to say, when I see a woman carrying a bag with some nice patina I never question authenticity. But when I see one with the white/light leather, I do wonder. Sadly, now even the fakes do get a patina, but I never question a LV bag with nice patina.

Question: how long does it usually take for the patina to show on a brand new bag? I mean, relatively speaking, with normal daily use and everything ...

I love brand new vachetta, hell I think it's one of the reasons I keep buying new bags all the time
But now I'm learning to accept my patina and accept that the vachetta might get marked upon. I'm getting excited my bags are patina-ing now.

i like patina on some bags but definitely not on the MC line. i saw a coussin gm with very nice patina last weekend and fell in love with the bag! i don't like really dark patina on handles, however.

I never have and never will...although It starting to grow on me quite a bit....but I'll never like it unless it's uniform...Patina bags are somewhat always dirty unless tanned in the sun...
