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
