Today we're going to be cleaning up this vintage Louis Vuitton bag! This is the LV cabas mezzo, and my particular bag is over 20 years old. It's a beautiful and incredibly functional bag, but it could use a little TLC. Do you have any Louis Vuitton you'd like to freshen up a bit?

Welcome to ClassicswithaQuirk! I love not only talking about luxury (mostly bags, SLGs, and fragrances), but discussing more about the companies that make luxury goods and the materials and quality of their items. Here we discuss brands like Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Fendi, Loewe, Delvaux, Versace, and more. I also enjoy Coach bags (especially vintage Coach) and doing bag rehabs, and searching out preloved luxury. Once in a while I do travel vlogs and vlogs about TJ Maxx finds as well, so there's a lot of fun variety. I hope you enjoy your time here 😊

We have similar thoughts and cleaning methods. Vinegar is a good idea, i never considered using it, i would not figure it would be harsh enough to work! I use brasso or liquid bar keepers friend for the brass, both work great! I use a light soapy dawn/water to clean off canvas too, or alcohol free baby wipes. I have had very good success with using apple care brand cleaner and conditioner for canvas and leather. I always condition the entire piece first. Then go in with cleaner, not spot cleaning but over entire leather portion, as i find spot cleaning often damages the item. I then go back over with more conditioner. Then let dry for 12-24hr before repeating as necessary. This is my tried and true method. I use cotton tees, too. The only time I have damaged something with this method is when i used a microfiber towel and rubbed really hard on one of the handle chaps in an effort to spot clean. I have a couple speedies I cleaned this way and a Trotteur and they look way better. Enjoyed this video!

@classicswithaquirk 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your own methods! Vinegar can be harsh is true, but as long as it's diluted, I've found it works very well. It also helps disinfect and deodorize, which I like.

Sorry to comment on an old video, but I wanted to say thanks. I just purchased a vintage coated canvas Longchamp bag with leather trim on Mercari. It looks so much spiffier after I used your method. It's funny how a little attention goes a long way in making something look valued/valuable. I got it super cheap, but it sure looks good now! Before I found your video, I watched a ton of canvas cleaning videos that recommend using an oil-based sealant on the canvas and/or cleaning the canvas before conditioning the leather. I'm sure a sealant can give nice results a few times, but PVC is oil based as well, so I'd think over time there could be degradation, since oil reacts to oil ... not to mention that you're usually just sealing in dirt with those kinds of products anyway. And don't get me started on bringing any kind of liquid near vachetta when it's very thirsty! So, again, thanks for bringing some common sense!

@traingirl.meghan 2 года назад

I always find these videos so relaxing. I'm curious, do you ever consider asking LV about changing out leather? Is that something you would only consider if the handles cracked or something extreme?

@classicswithaquirk Год назад

I have, but it's a pretty expensive process, often more than I've bought my bag for. If the leather was severely damaged I might (usually that means buying a "junk" bag for VERY inexpensive, to offset the fact that LV would charge like $600 to fix it up).

@traingirl.meghan Год назад

@@classicswithaquirk Oh wow! 😲I had no idea it could cost that much, but I had no reference point.

@lindsmclark 2 года назад

Great video! How often would you recommend doing this process?

@classicswithaquirk 2 года назад

I would say hydrate the vachetta every few months. If you don't use your bag often, it shouldn't need to be cleaned more than once or twice a year but if you use it a lot, cleaning the canvas a bit more often won't hurt 🙂

Thank you for a very helpful video. Thanks for sharing your project. What would you use to keep the condition on a Chanel lambskin bag or WOC?

@classicswithaquirk 2 года назад

Thank you so much! For Chanel lambskin, it shouldn't need much unless it's very very dry. Rubbing over it with the oils in your fingers can still work wonders

@tmougo 2 года назад

I know! I’ve tried everything and watched videos and nothing works. I was hoping there was a magic solution that I was unaware of. It’s so frustrating!

@classicswithaquirk Год назад

Thank you! For smells I do have a (very very old 😅) video on what might help, but if the smell is quite strong and nothing else has worked, the best thing for it would be letting it "air out" in a cold place (like a garage in the winter). It could take up to a month or so for this to dissipate the smell, but it hasn't failed me yet!

@tmougo Год назад

Thank you so much! I’ll try that!

@barb2554 Год назад

Very informative video. I just bought a Neverfull MM mono and it has a smell in the inside. How do I get this smell out? I also notice the smell is also on the canvas. Smells like perfume or a fruitty smell.

@classicswithaquirk Год назад

I would recommend cleaning it first, and then trying to lift the smell with baking soda or charcoal packs. There are also UV lights you can buy that do great jobs!

@missanamarie Год назад

Oof, I'm glad I watched this because I just ordered the Coach Leather Moisturizer for my Chanel CF...I didn't know that it had silicones! Is there a leather conditioner that you would recommend for Chanel (pebbled)?

@classicswithaquirk Год назад

Thank you for watching! Chanel it really depends. What color? Some products can darken lighter colored leathers. And if it doesn’t feel dry, just handling your bag can really do wonders!

Hello, How do you know there is no silicon in this product? They have not advertised the ingredients. I called them and the lady said that she's not allowed to disclose the ingredients, said the formula is a trade secret. Also she said that most of the other products are water based but CPR is not. That was good to know. Thanks for the video, very informative :)

@classicswithaquirk Год назад

I started using leather CPR several years ago, on recommendation from other people in the rehab community, and at the time the company stated there was no silicone in their product. I didn't realize they no longer do! I'll have to look into this 🤔

@classicswithaquirk 2 года назад

I haven't found a method to remove very dark water stains once they've set into the bag, but if you don't mind the risk, you can try spot wetting the bottom a bit at a time to at least get it all more a uniform color.

@Bella-yb6gg Год назад

I would also use conditioner on the canvas because that too can crack. Never use Brasso on the hardware because its not brass and will take the color right off the hardware and it will be bare metal

@classicswithaquirk Год назад

Vinegar can also be used! It's a natural softener and a little bit easier on canvas, I think

@11Virgo11 Год назад

People need to remember that wet wipes have a lot of water in them. Water damages leather. It actually dries it out! So condition your leathers BEFORE cleaning it, and wipe off any Ho2 as soon as possible and condition again! :)
