Would you apple guard your azure PA

[Leena.212]

I like aging vachetta but I am not sure how dark honey color will look against azure. Thoughts?

I think it will still take on a patina no matter if you use apple guard or not. I would use it, it’ll help with watermarks and keep the patina even.

I use it and like it.

I agree with SeattleGal93. I use Apple Garde and I think it may slow the process, but doesn't stop it. Definitely keeps it even and prevents spots. I used it on my DA Girolata and it looks beautiful.

Thanks for suggestions

Just started a thread the other day with this same question. Can I spray the canvas too? At least one other purseforum member says yes but curious for experiences of others

I am not sure about that. In fact i am having second thoughts about the idea of treating leather at all especially with PA. Its really not a lot of vachetta there on this bag. For now i am just giving it a sun bath. I did the same with my Speedy and it has a gorgeous even patina.

Absolutely. I do!

Yeah it’s tough to know what to do. My other bags are DE or monogram w black leather so I’m not sure what to do with vachetta!

I apple guard and the patina is the same.

I've never treated any of my bags, including my one and only Azur bag, and I love how the patina looks on each. Each to their own, but I personally don't find it necessary, and of course LV don't recommend treating the leather at all.

I treated the leather on my Noe BB but not on my PA as it is just a tab. My azur PA is almost 5 years old and has a very light honey look to it and no watermarks or issues. It is such a small piece of leather that I don't even notice how it looks against the canvas without someone (this thread) bringing it up. Looks good to me

I would not spray the canvas. I only use a non-alcohol baby wipe to quickly clean my azur PA canvas.

Absolutely! I applied Appleguard on my PA Azur and the vachetta strap I purchased for it.
Pantina still occurs but I think the amount of sun exposure will dictate the timeline.

I purchased my monogram speedy 2 years ago and the patina is light…because I don’t use often.
