If your leather is dry, do not clean first, instead
1) condition the bag really well
2) let dry
3) then clean the bag

I've watched quite a few of these Vuitton cleaning videos and for a while I thought, ok, this video is the same. Not necessarily a bad thing because at least these techniques are working for everyone. When she did the whole bit about the thickness of the canvas, I was shook! You go girl! So many influencers out there saying it's thinner and Geneva Jo hits 'em with SCIENCE!!💥 Great video!

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

Thank you for the comment. I am now back to work on my filming and hope to make something useful and fun this year. It's a challenging and fun hobby.

I wrote a comment about 2 weeks ago, and you were kind enough to reply! The vintage bag I purchased was actually almost in pristine condition (leather wise), so I didn't really need your tips and tricks for that one, but I've since received a vintage Speedy 25 (1993) that needs help on the handles and brass. Came back to listen again, and was blown away for a second time at how clean you got your handles. It's just amazing! The second time I used my zipper pull (on this new 25), it pulled right off, but oddly enough, I'm not a fan of them anyway... just wasn't expecting that at all! I used an exacto knife to get rid of the torn leather, and polished up the zipper tab beautifully! I forgot to wet the cloth before adding the saddle soap to the leather (dummy), so I'm headed back for several more rounds! Hoping the handles eventually look like yours! Thanks again for all the information! Great video!

Looks so pretty! Great tips. I have had great luck using those jewelry cleaning cloths on the brass parts of bags. No mess on the leather, and they work so fast.

@jlnriddick 4 года назад

That sounds exciting to me! Do the cleaning cloths work well if there's darkened residue on the brass already? I have a bag coming in that will likely need cleaning, and if the cloth works well w/o a solution, that just sounds like less risk to the leather. Either way, I'll give it a try! Glad I read your comment!

@discod 4 года назад

jlnriddick yes, I used them on my darkened brass and they work very well. Probably not as completely as Brasso, but no risk to try :-)

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

Thank you so much for the tip! I have recently purchased a jewelry cleaning cloth, just because of this comment. I have also found that buying extremely fine steel wool works well on older bags with eons of crap on the brass.

lovin your multicolor at the back! she is soo pretty!

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

I have shoulder injuries and must go to smaller, lighter bags, so I have to decide what bags must go. While I love the bag, I never carry it because it is simply not my style. It's pretty as art but clashes with my birkenstocks! LOL So, I am going to try to put it up for sale somewhere, facebook or IG tomorrow. It is one of many bags that I have chosen to get rid of to make way for some small, tiny, light boo hoo I love my larger bags but they just kill me! I don't want to clean my lux bag closet out ...but alas..it's a must. I am a nurse in my 50s and man my shoulders have aged fast!

Speedy handles are gorgeous. I must say I’ve tried everything but not the lotion! I’ll have to try that! Amazon?

@LVReLoved 5 лет назад

Oh and I use a dremmel on my brass. There is a polishing felt tip that works well and if tarnish is especially stubborn add just a drop of barkeepers friend to the felt. You can get into small spaces easily with the felt tip.

Try masking tape to go around the brass when cleaning the brass. A tape that won't leave sticky residue when you pull it off.

Hi there, would you recommend the Laston leather moisturizer? I read a review saying it left white spots on a bag, but yours looks wonderful! I wanted to purchase it because they state it will not darken the leather. Please let me know how it has worked for you. Thank you for your video :)

@JoleeSO 5 лет назад

I use it. However, I have not used it on light vechetta as it usually does not require it.

@lisamarieruzzo3094 5 лет назад

Is it good for the little dry vachetta on handles of lv cabas alto

@JoleeSO 5 лет назад

Is what good for dry handles? The leather lotion is great for dry handles, it will darken the color and/or need to be done more than once.

@frankf198 5 лет назад

Thx for the truth on the canvas myths I always wonder if that was true 👍🏻😉

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

Perhaps the canvas itself is not what has changed but the chemicals used to cure it have? just a thought

@User17698 4 года назад

I used Wonder Balm for my Speedy vachetta, and it darkens the leather soooo much, I don't like it. :( Does Laston lotion also darken the color? Yours look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

I can't compare, I have to say that the leather that I have used it on is already dark. I did use resolene on Vachetta, and it doesn't darken it, but I don't suggest it. I do it for forever bags that I don't want stained up. It seals the leather. LV traditionalist hate that and don't want the leather sealed.

@oooohmysoooosexy 4 года назад

@hoosierjen96 5 лет назад

Did you use any sort of rain guard on this bag after cleaning it?

@JoleeSO 5 лет назад

I now use Resolene on my bags. I have a speedy 25 bandouliere that I treated with it, and it got splashed by a water cooler last week at work. I was sad looking at all of those dark water spots all over it, an hour later...all gone. So, even though I did it a couple of years ago, it is still sealed. I can't recommend it it because it's a huge step and does seal the leather, but many say that it "ruins" bag. I haven't found that to be true. However, it has only been a couple of years. I can't tell you whether or not it shortens to life of the vachetta. For me, I would rather it look clean. It does continue to patina. So it is getting darker but not dirty looking. ew!

@JoleeSO 5 лет назад

I learned to use the resolene, by watching a leather guy treat several different pieces of vachetta in a youtube video. One drawback, it reduces the "leather smell" because it is sealed.

@JoleeSO 5 лет назад

I hope that helps a bit. I am no longer scared of vachetta because of it.

Soap and water.

A wet wipe

Canvas does feel different? Not sure what it is about it

@JoleeSO 5 лет назад

You know how companies that make different chemicals etc. continue to update their products and change them. LV may be dealing with some changes that are beyond their control or they may be trying different treatments. You're right, older and newer feel different and I am not sure that it is just the age.

@TraveleronMywayHome 5 лет назад

Hi I need help don’t know what to do I recently purchased a bag and I saw videos on how to clean it and condition my bad, so I ended up buying Kali and Blackrock leather conditioner, but it turned darker and I don’t what to do to get it the way I got it.

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

I don't think that there is much that you can do. Vachetta once dark, doesn't relighted, unless it ix water that darkened it. If you put a leather conditioner on light vachetta and it turned it..I think that is the color now. The bag that I cleaned and conditioned was already very dark, I prefer clean to light and dirty.

@carmenfarias982 4 года назад

Thank you Geneva_jo for your help and your right better dark & clean then light and dirty.

@JoleeSO 4 года назад

There are many leather products. I am typing this from bed right now, but..look up leather experts on you tube ( usually some dude testing products on raw leather ) to see what products work the best. Since it’s vintage you’ll want to condition it first! That way it helps protect from cracking. Now, I am not telling you to do this ( disclaimer in case you mess up your bag ) what I would do after conditioning is use a more waxy conditioner like a shoe protectant like doc Martin sells for old docs. Then after that I would seal it with resolene. But that’s just me. 😛

@BrendaDon 4 года назад

I don’t know, the canvas feels and looks way darker and way better than canvas now.
