Cleaning Louis Vuitton Vachetta: PLEASE READ!

  • How I cleaned my vachetta leather as advised by a Louis Vuitton sales associate.
    **This was a one time dirt and oil build up removal.
    My straps were dark brown to black from the dirt AND oil that had accumulated after I started using baby wipes. There was a product in baby wipes that I used attracts oil which is necessary for moistening skin. I was told that untreated leather does not repel chemicals the way treated leather does, so when you put a product on vachetta/ untreated leather, something stays behind that cannot be removed.
    It is the sodium laurel sulfate in the foaming hand soap that gently removes the dirt and oil.
    Products used
    Foaming hand soap
    Water
    Cotton balls
    Check out this video on how to use this process.
    • Video
    Towards the end of the video I say"baby oils" but I meant "baby wipes"
    **This was a very frustrating experience for me...I made this video right after I got home from work after seeing how clean my straps were from using foaming soap and water I wanted to share MY experience.
    Please be aware that the hand soap will have a drying effect so it was recommended to me that I use a leather conditioner and carry the bag within a few days of cleaning with the foaming soap,
    **This is not a process that should be used regularly,maybe once or twice a year at the most depending on how much you carry your bag if you wear hand lotions.
    Also the straps need to be buffed after they dry.

    I think it's very sad that LV SA's don't educate their customers as to best care for the vachetta leather. I guess their ultimate goal is for people to end up with such a dirty bag that they decide to buy a new one? Of course that may sour many on the brand or turn them away from the beauty that is vachetta. I much prefer it to the darker treated leather that LV uses on the DE pieces, to me it looks rather cheap and plastic. Thank you so much for sharing what you learned at LV. At this moment there are probably thousands of bags being mis-treated with baby wipes!

    I just picked up a vintage travel piece. It has a few water spots, and I figured I would use the baby wipes above and below the water stained areas to help even out the patina. But after watching this I am going scratch that idea!!!
    Thank you so much for putting this out there! VERY VERY HELPFUL. Have a Blessed day🌺

    I actually just tried this. It's been about 15 minutes, and already my bag looks good. I only did a little section of the handle to check the technique out, and so far I'm pleased. Like you I also used my daughters foaming soap, as it was all I had. Thank You for this video.

    How can a company NOT HAVE CARE INSTRUCTIONS for a luxury item!! That is ludicrous IMO , sketchy and makes me wonder if they say that so you destroy your bag and go buy another one. Just bad business and I hope LV can change their attitude . I bet LV himself would not agree with this bs. Great video sis. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    Ms. Tiffany I just bought a Louis Vuitton Denim Baggy PM on ebay. The handles were dirty (dark patinated). I went and bought products you suggested. I must admit I was a bit skeptical. To my surprise it worked like a charm. Now I wish I had gotten a bag that was bigger, but dirty since I know how to clean. Thank you so much.

    Sis I want to send you a huge THANK YOU. My straps were sooooo BLACK I was prepared to have it professionally cleaned. I sent pictures to a YT user who "professionally" cleans and dyes LV bags. She told me that my bag was beyond cleaning, she then suggested I dye my bag for $150-instead (insert side eyes here). No, thank you, I will take my chances. I continued searching on YT and came across your video. I gave it a shot, so far so good. The straps are drying now, but I can tell it I was able to remove A LOT of the dirt. I decided to go with your advice because it came directly from a LV employee. Sometimes common sense is just that, common sense. Again, thank you! Blessings sis.

    @discod 4 года назад

    Very helpful! I learned the hard way that the wipes ( non-alcohol) were drying out my handles. Then she I added conditioner on top of that, they would darken back up. It is good advice to just use the bag and leave it alone.

    Excellent tutorial. Thanks for Sharing - I was on the hunt this morning for alcohol-free, scent free, sensitive skin baby wipes but couldn't find them. My vachetta on my preloved Neverfull looks perfect for now. But I will try your tip when it becomes a little soiled. Thanks again!

  • @wglenn174
    @wglenn174 8 лет назад +1

    Thank you for this video. It just confirmed what I had thought. Vachetta is unconditioned so why not clean it with soap, and then rinse with water, and dabb off excess water from the cleaned area, then let dry. I was correct. However it has to be cleaned from one end to the other; do not clean it in sections or you will get the noticeable mottled effect.

  • @gladystirado7402

    This is great. I could never imagine using any kind of liquid on the vachetta, let alone soap. I have managed to get a mocktail stain on my Galliera. It would be great if you could record the process of cleaning the next time you get around to doing it so that maybe I could try and use the same process to clean the stain on my bag. Thanks!

      My handles feel smooth not dry. I just make sure I always follow up with the conditioner, sometimes 2 Applications. I'll put 1 application on, wait over night then follow up with another. The cleanser is very good for removing dirt and color transfer on Vachetta.

    Just use distilled water. Do not use baby wipes even if they just say they are water, there is always something else added. Distilled water has no minerals so it doesn’t attract dirt. Anything else you put on your bag will leave residue, wyou’ll never be able to rinse it all off.

    Thank you so much for this!! I bought the lovin my bags system and was VERY disappointed, especially considering it wasn’t cheap, and it did nothing but make my vachetta leather darken considerably! I used it on a pre loved speedy that had very dark/dirty handles, and on another preloved bag that had gorgeous light patina and unfortunately the speedy bag handles are still dirty, just darker, and the gorgeous light patina on the other bag has turned a much darker (yet still even) color. With the second bag, my goal was just to condition the leather and to hopefully prevent future staining.
    I am curious though, now that it’s been a couple of years since you released this video, if the handles on your speedy have had further issues? I feel like although the foaming soap removed the dirt, that it most likely also really dried out your vachetta leather. I really am tempted to try this method on my speedy (the above-mentioned one), but the handles are already pretty dry from using LMB and I don’t want to make them worse!!! If you wouldn’t mind giving an update on how your handles look after all this time I would be so grateful!!

    • @sharonhoffman7593
      @sharonhoffman7593 4 года назад

      I wish I had found this posting prior to buying LMB products. You are right, they are not cheap and did NOTHING for my bag. I worked on it diligently last night going strictly by the instructions and was immensely disappointed. I am wondering if their before & after photos are not real. Also their cleaning sponges don't appear to be much besides a makeup sponge or Mr. Clean eraser sponge. The microfiber cloth is basically stronger paper unlike any microfiber cloth I've ever seen. Now to go get some Softsoap and try working on my Estrela again. Then I'll try on my others.

    I am so nervous to try to do this. if my speedy 30 straps have blackened (maybe from oils or from dirt) but I haven't done anything to them do u think your suggestion would work? is there any case where this wouldn't be recommended?

      WhorlsofCurls Hey, have you been carrying your bag these past few months? I'm curious as to whether the vachetta has gotten its shine back and appears less "thirsty?" It looked great from the foaming soap but you said it had been through a lot of trauma, lol.

    • @tiffannyturner
      @tiffannyturner 9 лет назад

      I carried it a lot after that because the foaming soap strips the oils out removing it's shine.
      The shine and softness comes back after a few weeks carrying it continuously.
      Thanks for asking!

    • @ScaryClarey

      Tiffanny Turner Hey Tiffany. I had to follow up to thank you again for the foaming soap tip. I felt comfortable enough with your cleaning video to buy a preloved Damier Azur Speedy (my first Azur piece). It was a great price, so I figured I didn't have much to lose, since it was in good condition overall and less than 1/3 the price of new. I can tell the handles (medium dark patina) are very dry from the cleaning, and thirsty. But I cleaned the bag with the foaming soap on a soft toothbrush and the whole thing looks pretty good as it's drying. By the way, I use another youtuber's tip and clean my locks and keys with Heinz Ketchup. Shines them up in a flash!

      You are welcome, I received mixed messages even from the Louis Vuitton website.
      If you read the product care instructions on the website, it says you can clean the canvas with soap and water but never use a solvent...water is the universal solvent!!! That's high school chemistry...I was frustrated. But I think they mean solvents like products that contain alcohols, perfumes and many of the ingredients in baby wipes..

    Hi Tiffany,
    I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your video. I have Bath & Bodyworks Foaming Soap but I think it has a blue tinge to it. So I wanted to check with you and make sure with you about it. Also you state that this process should only be done 1-2 times a year. Do your bags need it more than that? Another lady told me to use saddle soap. Have you ever heard of that? I find your video just wonderful and I am looking forward to your reply so I can clean 3 Speedy bags I bought for resale. On top of just knowing how to take care of the vachetta of my collection of LV bags. Do you only use this process on the handles? May I use it perhaps on the corners if they are dirty too? I am so happy that I found you. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much for all your exciting information.
    Sincerely,
    Athanasia

    • @WhorlsofCurls
      @WhorlsofCurls  8 лет назад +2

      I used this process to remove on all of the vachetta. I focus on the handles in this video because they were black. I have heard of saddle soap, but never tried it. Is it an oil based soap? If it is. I wouldn't use it. Start with the smallest amount of soap to remove dirt and add more as needed. Use a paper towel or white cloth towel to remove excess water and speed up the drying process. Remove all soap before drying or your vachetta will appear dry. Use the bags after cleaning to allow the oils from your hands to condition the vachetta naturally! Thanks for watching!

      Hi Tiffany, I am having the most difficult time finding a dye free foaming soap. I have tried to write you privately however I cannot not find how to do it. So i apologize for writing here. Please tell me what brand you use? I have gone online and put in no dye foaming soaps and I found one that has no die but does have a scent in it . is that okay? It's called Mrs Myers Clean Day. I called them and they have no dyes at all. Yet the do have fragrances in it. Please let me know as soon as you can please I have sold my Speedy and I need to clean the dark patina on it immediately. Thank you so ver much. You truly are a Godsend with all your videos. Please keep making your videos your are absolutely an amazing woman!🌸🌸🌸

    Noticed you seem to favor the monogram, do you have any azur? I just purchased a pre-loved totally & it's pretty dingy. I used a wipe on the canvas & it was filthy but I didn't want to go overboard. Any suggestions?

    • @WhorlsofCurls
      @WhorlsofCurls  7 лет назад +2

      Tori O2O4 Try a gentle clear foaming soap and water. Once the visible dirt is removed you will have to wipe the bag down with a damp cloth after each use to keep it from accumulating dirt this is what makes it look dingy. Any stains that don't come out with the foaming soap can't be removed. Let me know how the foaming soap and water works, thanks for watching!

    @tracyvicenzo 8 лет назад +1

    Thank you so much for the very helpful video. Just to share: I saw another RUclips video, where the restorer used Dettol hand soap, which he said also helps kills germs. After which he used an ordinary wet towel to remove the soap. His tip was to finally quickly dry the bag with a dry cloth, to prevent moisture from stagnating and seeping into the bag and possibly damaging it. Then to let the bags air dry.

      It has turned out great! I recently spilled coffee on it and when I clean it, I will update the video. I wouldn't use antibacterial, I think it has more alcohol to kill the bacteria which might dry the vachetta out.

      Thanks for the speedy answer but ugh....guess I'll have to make a trip to the store😥On a side note....I just got a speedy 25 and am wondering if it's too small. I live in the middle of nowhere and not an LV store in site so I can't go browse. What do u think is the best size of the speedy? I want it to be kind of a statement piece but not like a piece of luggage 😁 Thanks!!

    • @WhorlsofCurls
      @WhorlsofCurls  8 лет назад

      +Mari Lea Riley That is a difficult question. The Speedy 25 holds a ton, but if you're looking to make a statement I would go to a 30 because the 25 looks small and insignificant. If you're not interested in the speedy for the space I would go larger to ensure that you make the statement!

      I did not use a lot of soap and my handles were dry at first for approximately 2 weeks and I continued to carry it every day until they became soft and moisturized. I can see how cracking can occur if you use too much soap and don't thoroughly rinse the soap out. I have only had to clean the straps once using this method to remove dirt and oil from baby wiping. Thanks
