Have you thought about using Angelus leather paint? They are acrylic based paints designed to flex and bend with the item. I do custom work on LV and that is my go to! Highly recommend!
Same question for you as above - if you do custom work on LV bags, would you recommend not purchasing a pre loved bag with a small crack by the zipper on a speedy? The owner took the bag to a shoe repair place and they said it was so tiny that they couldn’t do anything about it. Would love to hear your thoughts/recommendations
@@MrsDking1223 I too do custom work on bags I fix them up, fix cranks do new leatherwork stuff like that. Cracks shouldn’t deter you from buying a bag :)
@@lillymurray8408 Hi Lilly, I also have a crack in the middle of my speedy 30 Ebene. A section of the canvas has peeled off. Do you have a recommendation for repairing?
Omg! You are a savior 😮 I’m shopping for a Speedy but my money is not long😂 I believe I can purchase one that is fixable for sure now. As of today I requested you on Facebook where I can stay connected. Thank you so much.. vintage lady J😊👍🏿
You seem to be very talented at what you do. I don’t know if you take orders for fixing LV items. I have a speedy 25 that has about 5 cracks on each side of the bag by the zipper. I also have a LV passport that just needs stitched at the top on one side. I’d love to hear back from you! Thanks!
Nice video. A little too advanced for me, but happy there is life after cracks! Question, have you covered hot to clean stickiness. I have a bag handle w sticky edges. Thanks
Love your channel. I have a LV bag and a nail file accidentally "pocked" thru the canvas just slightly - it is not a "hole" - it is a pin crick about less than a centimeter - there is no cracking on the bag - the canvas is in good shape otherwise.......
Would you recommend not purchasing a pre-loved item, such as a speedy, that has a tiny crack by the zipper? Or would this method not only cover it but protect it? I know you said that it should “hopefully” prevent it from getting worse but do you have any tried and true methods for preventing cracks from getting worse? Thank you so very much for your time and great video on the topic.
I haven't tried it but I've seen people use leather cement to fill the cracks, sand it to make it smooth, and then the acrylic paint to match the color of your leather, like how Hunter shows us with the canvas. Good luck!
Is there anyway to restore dried vachetta leather shoulder straps? Bought a preloved Sac Shopping online, didn’t realize how dried the straps are, they looks clean, but no sheen or patina on them only dryness. Sad…I’m afraid to use it and ruining it further.
Just wanted to ask you a question I have a Louis Vuitton messenger bag and as it’s cowhide leather it has slightly small rip due to constant use as the texture of the bag is waxed and shiny what do you recommend using to cover the small rip? I heard that leather fillers will do the job? Thanks for your time
Hi I bought a used palermo bag. A tiny piece of the vachetta/glazing in one of the bottom corners is worn to the rubber is about 1cm of that to prevent that from getting bigger what would you recommend? Should I use some sort of adhesive also is there a edge kote or any other product I can use to cover up other imperfections? Thank you
Edge coat and a wood burning tool on the lowest setting with a fine tip after it drys there is a woman on youtube that fixes canvas cracks with that and it looks just like new
Thank you for this video. I bought a Speedy 40 bandouliere and I was shocked to find a 1/4” surface crack in the zipper area and several smaller cracks. I am deciding whether or not I want to keep it and repair the cracks or return it (the seller was sorry and offered to take it back as the damage wasn’t disclosed in the auction). Do you think it would be worthwhile to keep and repair or will the cracks spread further? Thank you in advance!
@@lavliidiary this is SO untrue… I refurbish bags.. a few cracks shouldn’t deter you but this woman should receive some money back. Cracks are repairable..
I’ve seen videos on using super glue,our clear tacky glue on fixing the cracks,what do you think of that? I have a 1986 LV Noe,top vachetta couple cracks,and just bought a 2000 montsouris MM and it’s cracked in front corners,what would b your suggestions? I can post some pics

What color would you use on an LV monogram angelus leather paint?? There’s so many colors

Do you know if Angelus paint can be diluted with water? I want to touch up my Dooney but I want to give it more of a stain than full on paint
You are pretty much the only person who I listen to in terms of Louis Vuitton. I have a ton of cracks in the canvas of both of my Louis Vuitton’s.
So did they fix it
I would never add acrylic paint to Louis Vuitton to repair it…ever. I repair these bags everyday and I only use products made for repairing leather.
Thank you soooo much for sharing your tips and tricks on how to care for our LV bags! More power to you!🤩💕

You can always use a leather filler once it dries then the acrylic paint

Awesome thank you. My before and after pictures are amazing. The LV repair quote was $450.
Have you ever done the hot needle method? Everyone I know usually recommends dabbing a hot needle to the hairline cracks.
Nice video. A little too advanced for me, but happy there is life after cracks!

I spilled sesame oil inside my carry all small LV. Got the inside clean but now the leather edging is sticky. How can I clean it? Any ideas?
Get leather filler… then paint it.. and use angelus..
Hi Ayla. Can you recommend any products. I'm going to try this on a speedy that has cracks around the zipper
How do repair cracks on the vachetta leather. Mine dried out and has cracks I’m fretting coz I love it. I have the bucket GM it’s vintage

What about a green epi wallet with a split where it folds? Should I use paint or epoxy. I tried glue but it opened up. Thank you.
How would you fill in the canvas when it’s more than a crack?

condition it with apple brand conditioner its on ebay and amazon
Use Cadillac Leather it’s the best conditioner I’ve found
Do you have any recommendations for someone who can repair little cracks in canvas? I have a speedy 25 that has cracks along the zipper on the canvas.

Send it back while you still can . Crack lv canvas isnt good at all.

Can you use Fiebings Edge Coat to do this?
Nic Halls yes! I just figure acrylic
paints are easier to get for most people.
Fab thank you!

Did u try the super glue after all??
We can't see anything
How can you tell if a bag is real
I can't see what we're u doing tho. Lol
I know, I need to remake it. One of the first videos I ever made so I was still learning.
What about larger cracks can I glue it or something
You can glue them shut with super glue if you’re careful
It would be nice to show what your doing not your face...
Was one of the first videos I ever made, if you don’t like it just keep scrolling...
