Like all leather items, Louis Vuitton vachetta gets dry from factors like heat, sunlight, cold temperatures, humidity etc. This can lead to cracking, making the vachetta weaker on the handles, which are under stress a lot and can rip and break over time if not conditioned, or taken care of properly.
Today we will be conditioning a Louis Vuitton Alma bag that has not been conditioned in a while.
Above is a Louis Vuitton Alma bag that was sent to us through our online repair.
Above us is a Louis Vuitton Alma bag before adding conditioner and moisturizing it. As you can see the scratches are more visible and the corners look more rough and dry.
Above is the conditioner we will be using which is Apple Brand’s Leather conditioner, you can buy it here.
In the picture above we are applying the leather conditioner to the bag with a piece of cloth.
Above we are adding more leather conditioner to the vachetta. We want to make sure we get leather conditioner all over the vachetta, getting it moisturized.
Above we are also getting that leather conditioner on the handles and tabs of the bag.
Above we have the Louis Vuitton Alma bag after being conditioned and it looks amazing! The scratches are not as noticeable and the vachetta looks more alive.
Like our own skin, leather gets dry and when your skin gets dry you add some cream to help moisturize it. Same goes with leather, you need to add some conditioner to moisturize the leather once in a while. So don’t forget to condition your Louis Vuitton vachetta, it will make your bag last longer, prevent any cracking, rips, and make it look amazing!
