I don't like the really really dark patina although I done have a bag that has done that yet I've seen pics.

The initial lighter color of my Speedy was great but I'm hoping my Man. GM gets darker sooner.
 
I don't like the light color when you first buy it. I live in philly and they are many fake louis vuitton bags carrying around town. i recently bought a speedy bag and I refused to wear it unless it turns color. i let my lil sis carry around for me until then. today, i went browsing into the louis vuitton shop looking for a wallet but they didn't have my color and seen a waistbag so i bought it. i kinda complain to the SA and he told me to leave it in the sunlight so it'll turn color faster. thats what im doing.
 
I couldn't wait for my first LV to patina so I stupidly oiled it and now its quite dark-I long for the 'virginal' blanched look of a brand new LV and leave it alone, LOL:sad2:
