How do I add patina to Louis Vuitton leather faster?
1 Answer

There is no process to quickly add patina to your Louis Vuitton leather goods. The iconic luxury brand's leather handbags and shoulder bags, for example, will develop a layer of patina with time and continuous use.
Patina refers to the natural aging of your Louis Vuitton leather goods. This aging affects the look, feel and color of your leather bag or accessory, and it occurs owing to everyday use as well as to the item's exposure to the oils in your skin and nature's elements.
See Louis Vuitton's official website for guidance on caring for your leather goods, and find a collection of the brand's bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
