Louis Vuitton handbag question
Best Answer Chosen by Asker
The handles on some [url=http://www.xantrex.cc]Louis Vuitton[/url] bags are Vachetta leather. This leather goes through a process called "Patina" so basically as the bag ages,[url=http://www.xantrex.cc]cheap louis vuitton[/url], it will turn a honey color. People sometimes hate the patina look (i love it, i like darker handles on monogram, but azur and the white multicolor i would prefer a lighter patina) so they use what is called Apple Guard to protect the handles.
You can go here and see pictures of the different stages of patina. Basically when you buy a bag new at the Vuitton store, the vachetta is white and then after awhile itll turn honey (NOT orange like a lot of the fakes). There is no specific age limit on the patina process, in fact, a newer bag can be really dark if it is left in the sun. Any exposure to sun and heat will cause the bags to patina.
To ensure you are getting an authentic bag, look at the color of the patina, if its orangeish then ITS FAKE, also look at price, a very heavy patina speedy 25 will run for about 300 where as a bag with no patina would be closer to its retail of 595..
