- Try not to grab the handles or straps directly with your hands (as much as possible). Use your forearm to grab the bag. Your hands transfer oils onto the leather and the patina of the leather will be distributed unevenly. So often our hands are wet or damp from not drying them thoroughly, or have oils or lotions on them that can be transferred to the leather strap/handles.
- The exterior, if made of cowhide leather, can be gently cleaned with a baby wipe.
- Never place your LV bag on the floor, under any circumstances. There could be some
- Proper Storage: Do not leave your bag exposed to sunlight. This will cause the vachetta/leather to oxidize more quickly and can also cause cracks. When storing, put bag in its dustcover or pillow case. Interior should be stuffed with soft crushed paper to keep the bags shape. Be sure if your bag has brass rings or buckles, to unfasten the buckles and wrap both with bubble wrap. This will ensure that the brass does not transfer black marks onto your vachetta (as is common with the most popular Galliera bag). Also, it's a good idea to let the bag air out about every six months.
- Caution: Keep away from children and pets! A friend of mine told me she visited a friend the other day and laid her Speedy 30 by the downstairs couch....only to find out her friends dog had used her bag as a chewing toy! (some "friend" huh?) Kids have no shame when it comes to placing their dirty Cheetos hands all over your nice LV bag either!
