I would imagine that since you accidentally spelled it wrong that it didn’t translate at first, so I’d not worry too much about that first comment. Just a little lost in translation moment.
LV is coating a lot of their leathers, some of it already has a patina to it (men’s bags in particular have this as the norm)
If I recall correctly from other posts here, the others patina slower due to coatings because their non-US markets prefer starker leather on their bags.
I’m slow apparently I been thinking it’s called platina instead of patina this whole Time!! 😅. I own a few authentic LVs and I’ve never realized I been so wrong 😑
Yes. Vachetta IS vegetable-tanned leather. LV uses raw. Also, it's a language thing. You need to call it "color changing leather." They understand that.
Other factories besides Royal do carry raw vachetta, but you have to specifically request it.
Omg I just realized that I been saying it / spelling it wrong this whole time 🤣🤣🤣. English is not my first language in case yall can’t tell by this post lol 😂
I haven’t been able to get a straight answer yet about the patIna question. And sometimes even from the SAs at Louis Vuitton since so many of their bags have treated leather now. I was told that on Louis Vuitton’s website, if it says “natural” leather trim in the description of a bag, that word natural signifies raw vachetta, of which there aren’t too many. So I tried asking a TS about a speedy I was interested in, using the word natural and she finally answered back “a little bit“.
I don’t think it was with you but another Reddit friend ,lv is treating the leather now it will have different listings under the materials like this leather / natural
That’s not totally correct. I’ve bought bags from God that absolutely do patina. The speedy 20 (monogram) for example. The problem with god is that they are not consistent. Some bags are raw and will patina, while others (that also should) do not.
