This is was literally one of the best demonstration I've seen!! I recently bought two NF and I have the Speedy 30in Azur and Monogram but rarely use it because Im scared of water marks. After seeing your video "Shea Whitney" and" A Heated Mess" and a few other videos I'm nw feel confident to use the Apple Guard. Where can I get the water wipes?
A little bit but the darkening has a lot more to do with how often you use it and how you store it. If you treat your bag, don’t store it in sunlight, and keep it clean, it will never turn black.
Just painters tape. But there is an alternative I spoke about in a more recent video. Apple garde does work, but havre de luxe also works and is way easier to use and doesn’t involve all the paper towels and taping.
There was a comment that seems to be gone now about using a wet paper towel as an alternative to water wipes. I would not recommend this. You want wipes or other brand wipes that are safe for leather and canvas.
It is supposed to but I personally have never tested it in a downpour. I don't carry anything with Vachette when I know it's going to rain. I treat it as a just in case measure and to slow down the patina process. I have carried the Pochette Metis when it was unexpectedly sprinkling a couple of times and it was fine. For me, more than anything, I think the spray has helped reduce how much general wear and tear shows.

Thank you! I found the water wipes at Target. I have links in the description box that will take you right to them and all the other products shown.
Thanks for linking the water wipes. Unfortunately they are not available for shipping ,but I will continue to check.

Thank you for the video, does this help slow down the process of getting darker? I want to keep the light color as much as possible.

Has it protected them from rain?

How long do we have to repeat the spray? Every month or every week?
@@angieong89 thats a god question
@@angieong89 I think they recommend every 6 months to a year, all depending on how much you use the bag 😊
I do it once a year.
