Please feel free to fast forward during the vacuuming, sorry for the noise.
Awesome Job! Thanks for sharing!
what if the inside is leather and it's all cracked? would this method work or not? cuz it seems like this bag, the inside is more of a cloth material
Hello, this will not work with cracked leather. Unfortunately, the only way to repair cracked interior leather is to completely replace it with a cobbler.
Very helpful and saves a lot of time too..
Curious if this is better than the Apple cleaner and conditioner everyone has been raving about.
Apple products are good too. But I’ve never tried it on LV vachetta leather
Great job and tips,,,
What cleaner are you using?
Hello, it’s water, you can also add white vinegar into the water
THANK YOU! THAT IS LITERALLY THE EXACT BAG I JUST GOT FROM MY AUNT FROM THE 80'S!!!!!!!!
vacuumed, scrubbed it per you instructions ... even had to washed it, omg the color dust is unbearable even after drying as much as it hurt I went outside to beat it like a old rug sooooo much blue dust I still don't know how to get rid of it -it just keeps on coming off. so warning for anyone taking on this project... you might want to wear gloves and a mask im still blowing the blue ick out of my nose and throat. please be warned. Lucy if you have any other recommendations please advise its everywhere!
Hi, yes it can get everywhere, depending on the severity of the bag. In this video I am wearing gloves. I also wear a mask when it’s really bad. Vacuuming and using a damp cloth is very effective and time consuming. In my other video where I use a vacuum, I advise it can get everywhere. Some bags are worse than others. But it will eventually all come out if you keep at it. Good luck! 😊
Thank You ❤
Have you thought of spraying the interior so it'll look new?
Hi, no I have not, I always feared it would come off over time. But I have seen it done by others.
Wow, I’ve tried almost everything that’s been recommended - saddle soap, Cadillac, saddle butter, Murphy’s oil soap, distilled water, lemon juice… and all I’ve been able to do was make it worse. I ended up selling all my vachetta bags because it was giving me anxiety lol. Maybe I’ll try this.
Look up painting vachetta, then topcoat
Thankyou. I just bought a real fixer upper of gucci bag and really wasn't sure where to start.
Did you use any cleaner on it or is it just water?
Hi, just water. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your video. I started with the vacuum cleaner on my bamboo handled Gucci bag bought in the 90s. I got the surface off but then had to resort to washing and scrubbing with Fairy Liquid (UK washing up liquid) and Woolite (UK wool soap) - a drubbing brush, a nail brush and a toothbrush. It was impossible to keep the soft leather bag out of the water entirely, I rinsed and massaged and brushed and now have a fabric liner but HERES THE QUESTION .. still a few specks of black on the fabric lining. Is it ok to leave these (the water eventually ran clear) or more scrubbing I’m so thrilled at the prospect of using that bag again!!! My lining was incredibly moist like tar - the brush nozzle couldn’t cope. Thanks again. It only took a couple of hours and I threw away the brushes, table cloth etc they were really tarry (and I’m sure when I bought it I loved the beautiful leather interior … little did I know!!!).
Yes, your bag is from the Tom Ford era and it’s extremely sticky tar-like lining. With my bamboo bag, I had no other option but to wash it. I conditioned the leather afterwards. It’s been 3 years later and the bag is still in amazing condition. The tiny specks is still part of the sticky lining. Try using a wet/damp cloth to get those last specks off then vacuum. Should all come off and you’ll be able to use your bag once again 😊
Thanks so much I spent a fortune on a bag in the 90s and the interior is horrible. Do you reckon a vacuum cleaner is better than using soap and water as other people seem to do.
Hello, yes I do. Using a vacuum and a very damp cloth to help loosen the flakes/peeling is very effective. Have a toothbrush on hand to get the corners. The goal is to get down to the original cloth lining. Good luck!
Great video. X
Thanks for the video. I haven’t used my Gucci bags in years because of the flaking. I did this on two of the bags with beige linings and it worked great. I have a problem with my blue one though, the lining doesn’t come out, it’s attached to the inside of the bag. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Yes, I would use a damp washcloth to remove the flaking, then try to stick a small portable vacuum cleaner inside the bag. I have a video that demonstrates the washcloth method, check it out
Ok thanks. I’ll try that!
Thank you for sharing! I’m going to pick some of this up and try it on a second-hand LV bag I recently purchased. 🤞🏻
Yes, good luck!
Will definitely try on my Diana bag I just received! Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
Thank you for your knowledge ♥️♥️♥️
Another thank you for your videos
I enjoy watching your first video. I hope you do restoration if you do please let me know
I'm gonna try this with my vintage Gucci Diana. I've tried several time consuming techniques. It's just been sitting because of the interior peeling and extremely messy.
Thank you dear 🤌🏼👌🏽 i will buy an old vintage gucci bamboo tote 👜 for a really good price because the inner side is peeling and tacky and now I have an idea how to fix it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely no problem! Wiping it down with a wet rag is also a very helpful to help loosen the flakiness. Message me if you need additional help. I have posted other videos on how to remove the peeling, including washing the bag completely. Check it out and good luck 😊
Whats your best tips for getting rid of smells in vintage bags?
Open the bag up and place it outside directly in the sun. Depending on the severity of the smell, you might have to repeat this process for several days. But the sun is natural odor eliminator. I posted another video where I completely wash my vintage Gucci bag with Dawn dish soap, that too will help eliminate unwanted smells. Good luck!

Thank you! Very good advice.
You’re very welcome. A damp cloth will also go a long way. Good luck!
