Before attempting a process like this, I highly recommend wiping down the vachetta with water wipes (baby wipes) a couple times and let dry in between. This helps even out the patina and in some cases the water spots will blend and go away. Unfortunately in your process here, you've just sealed those water spots in. Also if you plan to use a leather conditioner on any new vachetta pieces this process (water wipes) need to be done beforehand. It will clean and help build somewhat of a protective barrier against watermarks. When using a leather conditioner, please use a very small amount because it can actually attract more dirt. I would say everyone watching and reading the comments here should take good care with her process before attempting anything like this. For my own example with my process I'll submit this. I used water wipes on the vachetta handle and trimmings of my new Summer Trunks edition of the Pochette Metis. At a restaurant for dinner, he knocked over a full glass of Merlot which soaked my beautiful peach linen sundress and splashed on my Metis! I was a mess and upset but my purse was my 1st concern. I got home and wiped down my bag with the water wipes twice and when it dried, the red wine specks were gone. The dress however could not be saved. I am speaking from my own experience. Enjoy your LV bags ladies!
I just want to say that when you read the apple guard directions it says that the item you are spraying needs to be clean and dry. I am all for using the apple guard but I would be concerned about spraying the vachetta that has water stains. Wouldn’t it be wise to try and clean the vachetta first to try and remove or even out the water spots?
I have used Apple Guard and I highly recommend it, great demo Cindy! Have you ever wondered why Louis Vuitton doesn't have their own line of products to care for their bags? I treated my Capucines bags with Scotch Guard and I had great results.Great video as always! XO
That's good to know, thanks Yota! I'm pretty sure LV just doesn't want the liability of customers using after care products incorrectly and potentially messing up their bags. I've seen pics of people using wayyy too much leather condition or apple garde and it almost destroyed the leather due to user error, so LV likely defaults to just advising customers officially to NOT use anything on the leather =)
Lovely video. I probably would have used a clean damp cloth to lift the water marks on the Nice case before using the protector. I find that by simplying using water it removes water stains, rain drops etc. (to a certain degree of course). I have also just discovered BICK 4 Leather Conditioner that does not darken vachetta.
That's a great idea! I'm going to work on some other older LV bag and I purchased 2 different types of leather conditions to compare the results! Thanks so much for watching =)
Gorgeous pieces. I've cleaned and conditioned to of my bags. They turned out nicely. I would for sure recommend conditioning before using the Apple Guard. Just wouldn't want it to dry out and crack later.
I would love an update on these leather protectants and conditioners. I asked my SA about using such but i was discouraged from doing so. You are so brave! Thanks a lot for sharing your method. Have a great day!
Yes I will definitely post an update! The "official" LV response is always to leave the vachetta untreated but I've also heard several SAs will discreetly advise clients to use apple garde and conditions to maintain the condition and that they do the same. Hopefully it works out! Thanks so much for watching =)
Very helpful Thanks dear . I recently purchased two Neverful. I am terrified to use them, I will use Apple Guard and will start enjoying my lovely bags
I just recently saw your channel & am enjoying your sharing your knowledge of LV bags. But I was just wondering why LV doesn't just treat the vachetta leather in production? They must realize that getting it stained & dirty is one of the biggest concerns of those who love their bags. I own just a couple bags & I handle them very carefully because I don't want the vachetta to get stained. I try to not even put my hands on the handles! Lol! Do you think they will ever make it standard practice to pretreat the leather?
Awesome video babe! I myself can’t rave enough about apple guard, it’s a must in my opinion, I spray all my vachetta bags with it and can now use them in the rain. It works wonderfully. I usually spray my bags twice a year to keep it up. Great video! TFS 😊❤️
I never thought to spray the strap on the Pochette Accessoires!! Good idea! I have a friend that uses the apple guard as well and it really scares me to use it. 😩 Maybe one day I will try it. Thanks for sharing!! ✨
Yes I was worried about color transfer on the lighter strap of the multi pochette! I'll definitely post updates on the leather after using apple garde and leather condnition! Thanks for watching =)
Hi, darling! I am really afraid to spray any protection products on my bags😅. But maybe I will try one day. What I am going to do with the handle from Pochette Metis is to buy a bandeau and tie it on the vacheda handle🤩. Thanks for the share
Hi Cindy! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing this info! Therefore, to protect my Marc Jacobs “The Tote Bag”, do I only use ScotchGuard or should I also get the Apple Guard to spray on the tote as well?
Great video, very helpful. I never do anything to my bags, because I’m too scared to do it. Maybe next time when I see you , I ask you to do for me 😂Thank You so much for sharing darling. Awesome video ❤️
BE FABULOUS WITH ME_IRENE Thanks Irene! I just started using it recently after watching videos of others with great results! Yes I’ll spray apple garde on your bags for you 🤣
Thanks Renee! I plan to try out a couple different leather conditiners on some other older LV bags and will share the results! Thanks so much for watching =)
Can the monogram canvas get wet from the rain? Is there anything that I can spray on the canvas? It rains a lot where I am from. I’ve been trying to search and find an answer but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thank you
Great demo video sis! I do the same thing with all my Louis bags with Vachetta leather. But I haven’t tried scotchguard yet. Thanks for sharing this. 💖💖
Madam M.M Styleicon Thank you! I’m not as apprehensive spraying my older bags because they’ve already patina’d but I still get a little nervous sometimes using it on brand new bags 🙈
Awww so sorry you didn't get the water marks out but I heard a youtuber say for water marks use Huggies Pure Baby Wipes as there are no harsh chemicals or alcohol. That should have been done before you used the Apple Garde. Dab with the wipe. Don't rub hard. Dab and dab til you do ALL the vachetta not just the water stain as you need to keep it all uniform. Let it dry and do it again. Let it dry and condition leather with a gentle leather conditioner but don't soak it. Let it set. You need to put moisture back in so don't over do it with the wipes. If stain is still there do it again with the wipe. Let dry and do wipe again. Let dry and condition again The process is suppose to uniform the color. Repeat til you get the result you want. After you get it all uniform in color and have conditioned well 1 last time then let it dry over night and then Apple Garde with the Stain and Water Repellant. I haven't tried this tip personally but I did condition my vachetta and used Apple Garde on my new LV so currently I have no stains but if I do, I will try this myself.
Do you use your bags in the rain or snow after doing that?? Question how to protect DA print from color transfer what are clothes you can used to prevent I have the Croisette in DA and im affraid to use.
I try not to use vachetta leather in the rain or snow - if I get caught in it, I wipe the water off immediately so it doesn't stain. I would avoid wearing dark denim with DA if I can help it. Hope that helps! I plan to post another LV care and treatment video soon. Thanks for watching =)
I like it when the bags get a darker patina so I don’t do anything with the vachetta. However I have a Chanel denim bag and I have a lot of suede shoes and I spray them with UGG protector. Bought it off Amazon
Leslie Craven The Ugg spray is great on suede! I like darker patina on vachetta too - from the videos I’ve seen of others using Apple garde on their bags, the leather has still gotten a nice patina so hopefully this will just help prevent water stains! I’ll definitely post a follow up later. Thanks so much for watching 💞🤗

Thank you for this helpful info Jeannie! I will definitely try this approach the next time I treat vachetta 💞🤗
I did this process. Use water wipes and clean all my bags first. I just sprayed two straps.

I am all for using the apple guard but I would be concerned about spraying the vachetta that has water stains.

Wouldnt it crack the vachetta after using the wipes??
@@jadie5359 No, does not dry out the vachetta.

Definitely! I will be posting a video soon showing two different types of conditioner on vachetta leather! thanks so much for watching =)
@@AHeatedMess Awesome!!! TY.😊
You have such a beautiful collection, very smart to keep it protected👍 everything will stay looking good much longer
GlamRoomGirl Thank you! I never treated my older pieces and I want to make sure they stay in good condition so I can pass them down to my kids 🤗
@@AHeatedMess I love that, it's such a fantastic idea 👍🙌
Apple guard over the water stain is like putting clear nail polish over on your nail over dirt. You just SEALED the stain!!!!!!!!!
I would love an update on these leather protectants and conditioners. I asked my SA about using such but i was discouraged from doing so. You are so brave! Thanks a lot for sharing your method. Have a great day!

I will definitely use conditioner and apple garde from now on! No more water stains for me lol! Thanks for watching Lex =)
Oh wow I’m amazed! So no water stains once treated with Apple guard eh! Do you spray it on the canvas as well? The leather?
Hi, is it necessary to spray inside the pochette as well? Thanks
I never thought to spray the strap on the Pochette Accessoires!! Good idea! I have a friend that uses the apple guard as well and it really scares me to use it. 😩 Maybe one day I will try it. Thanks for sharing!! ✨

The LV bandeau is such a great and stylish way to protect the handles, especially the pochette metis strap! And there are so many colorful options =)
Hi, I just purchased the carry all monogram. Apple guard the straps, what about the bag itself?
How often do have to spray it after the first time?
Thank you for sharing the info! 💝Can you please do a video on proper storing/storage so they last longer? Thanks 😊
I sure can! Check out my Instagram too @aheatedmess bc I post pics of my closet and shelves 🤗
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *yutulux* 😘😘😘

Will the apple guard prevent the natural patina?
No it won’t.
Hi what would you recommend to clean the canvas of a vintage LV bag ?
Awww so sorry you didn't get the water marks out but I heard a youtuber say for water marks use Huggies Pure Baby Wipes as there are no harsh chemicals or alcohol. That should have been done before you used the Apple Garde. Dab with the wipe. Don't rub hard. Dab and dab til you do ALL the vachetta not just the water stain as you need to keep it all uniform.

Does the apple guard prevent the leather from getting darker over the years?
No 🤗
would this also work for the multicolor pochette??
Do you use your bags in the rain or snow after doing that?? Question how to protect DA print from color transfer what are clothes you can used to prevent I have the Croisette in DA and im affraid to use.

Thank you can we see a bag that you already did and is not with rain stains? Like a video of that review..
En el momento en que vi el bolso *yutulux*, supe que tenía que tenerlo
Is it necessary to treat Damier Ebene handles at all?
No - it’s already treated 👍🏽
