Bag Lady: How does a Vuitton replica patina over the years?

[P_Diddy]

Superb write up, almost encyclopaedic

I'm amazed at how the leather "ages", saw the genuine LV bags at AD and they were pale lighter tan for new bags and darker tan for bags that had been on display.

That's how it works! If you leave a bag in your car but not in the direct sun, it will also turn a little quicker. You have to crack the window to reduce the heat some because if it gets too hot it can shrink the leather, if in the back or front windshield, but not before crisping it completely, like headresta in the back seat that also become dry and hard. I'm sure you have noticed this.
