- Skip ahead to 6:25 for the final results. Warning!! Treat your luxury bags with stain repellent at your own risk! This was meant to be an experiment over the span of a few weeks to a couple months... it went on for over a year thanks to this pandemic. The longer time period actually worked out really well and you can really tell the difference in the treated vs untreated leather! Thanks for watching!
Ma'am!!! The dedication to come back 1.5 yrs later! Amazing!
Thank you for this long term experiment! It’s good to know that Apple Garde prevents stains from occurring but not the natural patina from forming over time. Well done!
I like the patina on my apple guarded bags better than the ones I had before I knew better 😂
This is exactly the type of video I was looking for, thank you for doing this experiment! Very helpful.
I appreciate the dedication to this video. I don’t mind the patina but I’m trying to avoid stains.
This is dedication and commitment! Thank you for this video ❤️
Wow the patience and effort you put in to this video is great! Thank you so much. 🙋🏻♀️🌈
Thank you for making this video! THIS video is what I've been looking for, and I was so hesitant to spray any of my untreated leather. Thank you again!
Interesting-The apple guard on new vechetta did not slow down the patina process at all. I always wondered about that. Thank you for all your efforts!
Yes! They both patina, but I'm sure the one that wasn't treated may appear darker depending on the stains they accumulate.
this is the best video on apple garde and vachetta hands down! thank you so much. i’ll be treating my bags tomorrow. :)
Thank you for doing this experiment, it will help me a lot, I just bought my first LV and I really want to take care of it.
Thank you for watching! And good luck!
Thanks!!! 💞💞💞💞 I was on the fence but now will treat me bags👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I can’t believe this is the only video on RUclips I found like this 🙈 Amazing 🤩 😘
I re-spray mine as often as I can remember to … it also works in azur ( color transfer repellant )
Fantastic experiment! Great demo. Thanks for sharing.
GREAT video! I usually stick with Damier Ebene so I don’t have to worry about vachetta. Bought my first can of Apple Garde based on your vid. Thanks! 🥰
Great video. Just had my first LV bag delivered and feel nervous about taking it outside but you have given me some confidence to spray and protect. I live in UK so weather much more unsettled and not sure if product is available here but will look for equivalent and try it first on the little pouch straps that has come with my Neverfull. Thank you so much for going to so much trouble.
I love the darker leather!!! That’s my fav thing about LV. But what a great experiment. I might still spray to remove chance of stains as it still looks like leather gets that lovely patina. Fabulous!! ✨✨✨
Loved the experiment. I like to treat as i live in a very rainy climate. 🌧
*luxdups* I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Oh wow, thanks for this....this really opened my eyes...
This is what I wanted to see! Thank you!
Thank you so much for reporting this. Most helpful. How does it look now?
Thank you! I've been on the fence about using Apple Garde but this has definitely helped!
Thanks for this video. Been searching for a good reference because I recently bought a new lv speedyb25 in monogram and since I really plan to use it as much as possible, I want to waterproof its vachetta. I had lv palermo bag before (2011) but at that time, I didn't worry much about vachetta care but turned out still in good condition because i rarely used it and end up selling last year.
Waterproof spray is a must.
It is better to clean with leather cream or lotion and then use a waterproof spray.
This spray is a must for my lighter color treated bags as well!
Thank you for doing this test, I’ll spray my bags now👍
Great work doing this research for everyone!! Cheers
Thanks for the experiment!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing 😉 I will buy apple guard and will treat the vachetta of my Neverfull MM Monogram that I got this week☺️-More power to your channel👍
Great video. Thanks for the investment of your time to allow us to see the results.
❤was it useful , I'll be looking forward to your comment?
Thank you so much for this! This newbie appreciates it 😊
thank you for this! ordering my apple guard ASAP!! very helpful 😊
Loved this video, new to actually buying Louis and this is helpful. Question though, Apple guard are you suppose to reapply eventually every few months?
I believe the instructions on the can state to respray every few weeks or months! For the sake of this video, I did not respray at all.
Thank you so much for this video!! Super helpful!! 😀😀😀
This is the exact video I needed to see! Did you notice any difference of feelings of the straps. Did the treated one feel any differently with aging? Thx so much for this long term review! 🥰
The straps did not feel any different to me. They weren’t dry or stiff or anything like that. But please keep in mind I only sprayed it that one day and did not repeat spraying it. I am currently undergoing another experiment that may answer some questions about repeat spraying
Thanks for making my decision easier ...great video
Very interesting and informative! Thank you very much! 😀🥰
excellent experiment thank you
I wish the would make something to PREVENT the patina from forming I really don't like when it turns darker
Awesome!! Thanks a million!!
Amazing!!
Where did you order the apple garden from?
Amazon!
Ordered apple guard
Thank you so much!!!
Hi do you also use the apple pn the canvas. I have a neverfull and didnt know if i can put on the actual mono part. Ty
Thank you for sharing
VERY Helpful! Are you able to share the Etsy shop information where you ordered your straps?
I believe it's called Mccraft
Excellent video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching, I hope it helped!
Thank you for doing this video
Can you condition it months after you use the rain protection? I just used the leather conditioner and I’m about to use this product but not sure if I can condition it in the future after the rain protection is applied? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Thanks 😊
Thank you for this video! Since then, do you still still the benefit in spraying with Apple Garde? I just got the Pochette Métis and I really want to protect it!
I have resprayed it once since this video, the leather is still being protected for the most part!
Very helpful. Thanks 😊
Amazing
Thanks for the video. Can you treat the vachetta that has already been used and already has water marks on them just to prevent them from further staining? This summer, I used a brand new neverfull in damier azur that I bought last year and it picked up some water stains. I went over all the vachetta with water wipes just to even everything out but it just made the vachetta darker. I am wondering if it's safe to use Apple guard after using the wipes or it could possibly dry out the vachetta... Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Yes you can absolutely treat leather that has already been aged. I have used this on my vintage bags and it prevented new stains
Also, I haven’t experienced drying out of the leather on my own bags
@@itsrainy100 Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it! ❤️
Thank you for this
This video is wonderful! But I have a question… do you have to use apple garde continuously or can you use it once and be fine?
Hi! I believe the instructions state to repeat spraying every so often. For the sake of this video, I did not respray it at all
Wow this is awesome thank you for sharing! I have a nano speedy that I haven’t used yet but has started to patina. Do u think it’s ok to spray it still since it’s not brand new? Also can u spray older bags u think?
I have sprayed older (9 year old totally) and preloved bags from the 80s and had no issues!
@@itsrainy100 thank you so much!
What do you recommend to prevent leather from moulding?
I have not had that issue so I cannot say for sure. Probably a dehumidifier if you live in really humid climate. Also don't store in it a dark closet in a box, keep it in its dust bag in a well ventilated room. I hope others will comment with any suggestions for you!
Did you keep spraying? i think you are supposed to treat it every few months.
Hi, I did not respray the strap. But I do believe they instruct you to spray again every few months. Thanks for your question!
Thanks for this. Would you pls tell me where to get the new traps? From Amazon ? Thanks
I got it on Etsy, there are several Etsy shops that sell vachetta straps
Thank youuuuuu!
This is such a helpful video! Thanks!
How many times did you have to spray the leather? And what will happen if you spray the canvas?
I only sprayed it once during this experiment. Instructions state to do it every few weeks or months I believe. My canvas was completely fine when I sprayed it! I also got some in the inside of my delightful and it was fine as well.
Did you respray the apple guard every couple of months? your supposed to retreat the bag every couple of months if you use it daily.
For the duration of this experiment, I did not respray it. With my other bags, I do respray it a couple times a year.
Do you repeat spraying the vachetta leather after a while? Or once is enough?
I believe they recommend respraying every few months. I did not respray in this experiment!
Considering what u put them through the untreated isn’t bad either
Yes, you’re right! Also, in person it’s hard to see all the blemishes at first glance.
Excellent video!! Thank you so much ❤️
Do you just treat it once or should you treat it more frequently?
I believe the instructions say to treat it every few weeks or months. I only treated it once for the sake of this video
What happens if you spray a bag which has been already used some times?
It is basically a water repellant so it may help prevent future staining. It won't clean anything that has been on the bag prior. In another video I sprayed an old strap repeatedly and it did not do any damage to the strap even though it was a bit dry and brittle to begin with.
@@itsrainy100 do you suggest spraying anyway, even if I’ve already used the bag a couple of times?
Hi, how do you condition the leather that has been treated by apple garde? Do we have to remove the garde with alcohol before conditioning the leather?
I did not condition the leather, I just sprayed it. I do not think it is possible to “remove” apple garden once it’s sprayed in. And I’m sorry, I don’t know enough about conditioning leather. I hope this helps!
@@itsrainy100 Thank you for the info!
Thank you for this video very helpful!
Did you spray it again or just the initial time?
A few months after this video, I did spray it only once more. I'll keep checking on it to see how things go!
Did it dry out the leather any the treated one
It did not dry out the leather for me at all 🤗
Did you use any wet wipe to wipe the treated leather down if it was wet or after a few use to wipe away any oils and etc?
No, I never wiped or cleaned either strap, even when they were wet or got dirt on them. Hope that helps!
@@itsrainy100 thanks for your answer ! I have tried to look online if I could get one to deliver to Malaysia, no luck so far 😣
Did you retreat with apple guard over time?
I did not for this video. I have retreated once since the video. Instructions say to treat every few months I believe.
Hi thanks for the very informative video. Can I ask where did you got your vachetta straps? I want to get one for my Pochette accessories. Thank you 😊
Mcraft on Etsy ☺️
@@itsrainy100 thank you 😊
great video. did you retreat the leather at any point? thank you for this.
Great question! I did not retreat the leather, thanks for asking!
Can we use apple garde on LV damier ebene?
Most Damier Ebene bags have treated leather and will not stain from water like the untreated leather on most monogram bags. I feel like there is really no need to treat damier ebene bags! I hope that helps!
@@itsrainy100 Thank you so much.
It’s pointless with the Damier
Apple gaurd didnot work for me
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find something that works out for you!
I used this one time on one bag and i swear this was the worst mistake that anyone should do to their Louis Vuitton bags. There’s a reason why they tell you to leave the bag alone. I’d say I’d you do this only do it ONCE. just let your bag age gracefully and take care of it when you wear it. Be careless but take care of it.
Everyone should do their due diligence and research before applying any product on their bags! I honestly didn't know how this would play out. I also did an experiment where I sprayed another strap about 10 times with no significant issues occurring, but everyone should do this at their own risk! Thank you for your comment
You should NOT use ANYTHING on the vachetta until the bag has a patina, which takes years. Good way to ruin the vachetta.
I do emphasize everyone should do this at their own risk. That being said, I sprayed this on new vachetta in the video and it did not appear to ruin it. I've also successfully used this on my new bags on larger pieces of vachetta and have no damage. Thank you for your comment.
@@itsrainy100 Sales Advisors at Louis Vuitton give this advice any time purchasing a bag or luggage with vachetta leather used as part of it’s composition. It is, additionally, advised on the website as well as in the care booklet given with the bag 🤎👜
