Hi hon, years ago I tried a magic eraser on my vintage handles which ruined the handles forever. I used the same leather conditioner you used too. So 7 years later, my handles are still ruined. They cracked and I have not used my bag since the shine never returned either. With cleaning the brass, I used painters tape around all the brass and use a cotton bud which has a pointed tip. They are excellent for the zipper too. When I'm using the brass cleaner I always have a damp cloth ready, just incase the cleaner gets on the leather, you can quickly wipe it off. The cotton buds have a pointed tip on one side and a flat tip on the other. When it comes to the brass that attaches the handles, I use a dry pointed cotton bud inside the leather part where you can't see the brass. You won't believe how much green tarnish comes out
Your bag looks beautiful and it’s perfect size I’m also a bag dreamer I just can’t afford it right now I’m in process of saving for dream bag that’s why I love watching your videos
The other type of Brasso works better than the one you bought. (The one in small tin bottle). The oxidation plus green grime from my vintage bags are gone.
Phew I'm glad you stopped! haha. I consider the magic eraser a very fine grain sandpaper. I think a lot of us have done the same things and learned the hard way. I scrubbed the crap out of one of my chaps on my DA speedy w/ a microfiber cloth once and caused damage, whoops. I learned to be more careful after that. I am considering buying a super vintage birth year speedy and cleaning it, maybe even scrubbing it in the sink or tub of water haha we will see...
Omg thank you so much for telling me to stop!! Well they work on my sneakers 😂😂😂 I do think you can soak the speedy in a tub of water if the leather is dark already! Thanks again 😅❤️
I'm glad the magic eraser did not ruin your beloved bag Michelle. I can see the shine in the rivets and the bag too. You did an awesome job! Nothing can beat that look of a vintage speedy or other LV pieces. You're right. They do age gracefully. I keep seeing yours and seriously thinking of getting the mono in 25. I had it in my LV cart the other day and was so tempted to buy it. LOL. But glad I did not. Vintage is the way to go with the gorgeous honey patina. Personally I don't like the white one coz it looks fake. lol. Can't wait to see your PA.
You didn’t buy a speedy 25!?! Although, if you can walk away, good for you! I do agree, vintage products can be a good find, and they really were made better before! Thank you Grace, have a lovely week! ❤️
I am getting a new speedy b 25 Damier Ebene. Can you tell me how to maintain protection and clean? Inside and out. Should I use apple guard protector? or do you use a particular protector.
I need some of that Cadillac conditioner. The LV bags I own have very little leather parts as they’re canvas, but if I can use it on the canvas too, that’s cool! I own leather bags by other brands that are probably thirsty for some conditioner!
Microfiber damp cloth with dense microfibers. Don’t tell anyone, but I never clean my bags. I know. Yuck. Nylon ones go to the drycleaner the rest are literally kept as they are. Messed up a couple, not trying anymore. Microfiber is great for shoes as well!!! (especially white and black shoes that otherwise never get to be pristine)
Hi Michelle; can you help me? I received my new LV speedy 25 Azur today. But it is puckered along the place where the panel is sewed to the main area. Called LV, sent photos and waiting for a response. Have you seen this before? Please help thank you. Pat
@@dialmstyle Apparently they have a procedure to view photos so the warehouse doesn’t blame me. Plus the inside pocket was unzipped and locket was unboxed. Could be a previous return. Thank you for your quick response! 💁🏼♀️🌹❤️
Just keep in mind, if your bag has not patina yet, adding anything will make it darker. That’s why I say it’s best for vintage bags! Use at your own risk!
I was so nervous watching this. If i trust anyone to know what they are doing when it comes to LV it's you, but I'm never trying this at home. Put a big warning "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME" 🤣
Would like to see you make an video on where I bought it from collection. Love all your bags. I am super fans of *bagreps.com* Bags from there are great quality and really cheap, shipping and aftersale service are perfect also.
I'm absolutely smitten with my *hidupz* handbag. It's a true reflection of my personality and adds a touch of glamour to my everyday life.

I too am a bag dreamer...most of mine were inherited or gifts...Thank you!

I clean my bag with lemon juice to the rivets or any brass and it works.
It’s stunning ❤love the look of vintage
The bag looks beautiful, Michelle. I can tell that you put a lot of hours and TLC into cleaning it. Well done! 🙂
Thanks Mikel! ❤️

I‘m too scared to do anything to my bags now… I used to clean them like crazy, when I was younger and dumber 😆 but not anymore 😅☝️
Yah that was silly of me 😅
@@dialmstyle most of us do it at least once, to learn our lesson 😆
I feel you ahaah. My dark bags are literally never cleaned. Light ones I wipe down here and there but nothing really intense.

None of that was recommended from the brand. Just a clean damp cloth for maintenance.

Yep! It’s like lotion for the bags 😂
Thank goodness you had people tell you not to use that magic eraser.
Can you do a neverfull care tip video for us neverfull gamy. It’s my first piece. I also have a Sarah wallet and passport cover
Your speedy is well loved and used sis❤️

I never clean my bags either!! 😂 maybe the nylon ones…
Think it came out nice
It’s not so bad…just that handle! 😅
@@dialmstyle the canvas has a nice shine

I would return it, I don’t think puckering sounds right!

That is peculiar, does it look like a sewing defect or that it got crushed?
@@dialmstyle sewing mishap.
I sent photos on Instagram for you. Thank you 😊
Please do a unboxing video on your new purchase ❤️
It’s coming! 😁
I’ve seen someone els use the magic eraser and she rubbed the top layer of canvas off. It was terrible
😱😱😱
Do you condition the canvas or just the leather
Yes, canvas too!
@@dialmstyle Thank you I should wait till it’s at least a year old correct

Yah that was an experiment! 😬😂😂😂
How long does it take to start showing patina
I don’t know! A while!! More than 2 weeks 😂😂😂
@@dialmstyle that wud b interesting Lol
@@dialmstyle less than a day if u set it in the window
i think i'd just magic eraser the second handle to match...if you have to replace the one u already did, u would do both anyway.
I’d b scared to do anything to my bags
For the Tube!!
I haven’t heard good things about magic eraser. I will never use them on mine. Nope! Nope! Nope!
Thanks for the views! Yep, I put it down…
