Guidance On Caring For Your Louis Vuitton Bag

Your Authentic or replica Louis Vuitton bag is an investment. Take time to learn how to clean it and properly care for it so that it lasts for many years.
The Monogram and Damier Collection from Louis Vuitton are among the most popular styles of all of their bags. One reason may be that these bags are made from a coated canvas and trimmed with leather. The coated canvas (usually the body of the bag) is some-what water resistant,not waterproof! Propre care for coated canvas: It can be easily wiped clean with a damp soapy cloth without harming the bag.
 
The leather trim requires a bit more care. Louis Vuitton uses some of the most durable and finest leathers, so they will last for years and years with proper care. One leather, as seen on most Monogram bags (usually the handles or straps) is vachetta leather. This leather, when new, is creamy beige. With exposure to air, water, oils from your hands, etc., it will gradually turn darker over time and result in a beautiful honey color. Be careful! If you touch the leather with lotion or makeup on your hands it will leave unattractive smudges. Also carrying it in the rain is a bad idea, as this will make spots on the leather. proper care for vachetta leather: First of all, carry your bag on your arm or shoulder, not in your hands. Hands can be dirty with oils without us even knowing which will harm your bag. Also, every so often wipe your leather with a simple baby wipe. This may ever so slightly darken the leather but it will only darken it gradually and keep the color even all over the bag. You do not want the tops of the handles to be dark and the rest of the bag's leather to be very light. Never use chemicales or cleaners on the leather as this will damage your leather and make it discolored or very dark! If the leather becomes dry (from not carrying it at all) it can crack! Check your leather and see if it looks and feels dry. If so you can use a leather lotion.

The Damier Collection (the brown checks) is trimmed with a more durable leather. This leather can actually be wiped with a damp cloth and it should not change color over time.
