Just for those that haven't noticed: the LV monogrammed canvas (in fact all the canvas) on the vintage bags before 1990 is twice as thick as the one LV used today. VERY STURDY compared to the paper thin canvas of the bags today.Its no wonder so many buy the preloved vintage versions instead!!
Love my vintage LV bags. My Alma Pm is early 90's, and my Speedy 25 &30 are from the 80's. This will help with the green ring by handles. Love the video 😍
The results of patient careful work on a quality product. Lovely. Not a fan of logo items but this is a well-made bag. Enjoy seeing younger people who appreciate quality.
@@MrsPinkyCrazyBagLady... May I ask what led you to the 40 size? I have a speedy 35B and 45B (for carry on), but I'm not even sure I realized there was a size 40. Without much thought, the 40 seems a bit big for a handbag, and a bit small for a duffle, so was there something specific you had in mind? Just curious, maybe I need one too, LoL! (BTW, you had me immediately looking at ebay for vintage 40's just because this project looks so fun/rewarding!)
Hahah I think I just worked my way up so I had 25 first then 30 then 35 then wanted to try slightly bigger 😊😂the best really is 30 I think but they are all gorgeous in there own way 😍
Lady I could listen to you talk for years. I absolutely adore your accent and you will seem like such a nice person. I appreciate the tips and will definitely use them was cleaning up my old Cabas piano that really needs a lot of work. I wish I had purchased a speedy years ago because it seems to me that it was a better style bag, absolutely never goes out of style, and doesn't have as much for shedding places that could get dirty and discolored like The Compass piano. But I just wanted you to know I really enjoy your video, I love listening to you speak, and I'm a new subscriber and look forward to learning more from you. Hope you are well and hello from the other side of the pond. You seem like a lovely person!
I kind of figure if you use baby wipes on the canvas only and then leather products on the leather pieces, I don't see why it would be an issue. If you were to use baby wipes on the leather, I would highly recommend using a conditioner afterwards as baby wipes dry out the leather. Great video I enjoyed learning new techniques!
Your bag is so gorgeous! I just received mine today. It was made in France, 1998 so the leather has a very beautiful patina like yours. I prefer classic and vintage piece than brand new. I dont know. I just don’t like the color of the brand new vachetta leather. Plus the price is just ridiculous these days! Love all your videos! xx
Awww thank You ☺️ congratulations on your bag and yes totally totally know what you mean about the vintage bags they are amazing and just so special xx
Hi Crazy Bag Lady, I got my first Mulberry Roxanne last weekend and I wanted to know what you would recommend for cleaning and waterproofing an Oak Mulberry Roxanne?
Love this! I just started cleaning the hardware on my vintage Louis bags and it is SO therapeutic and amazing how beautifully gold they get so quickly! Great video 😊💜
I have just purchased my fiancée her first LV bag. How long did the entire process take you. Your efforts have rejuvenated a once tired looking bag 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I thoroughly washed my vintage LV Speedy 40 Jan 1995 today. I got it last week for a ridiculously low price because the lady didn't know anything about the bag and LV. I filled a soap foam jar with water and 4 tablespoons of Castile soap. It foams nicely, cleans everything on the bag and cleans and conditions the leather. I let the bag dry after wiping with a damp clean cloth, oiled the leather with a 12 oil conditioning lotion. Cleaned any scuff white marks on the vinyl with alcohol on ear buds, polished the brass with Tarn X and wiped with a dry cloth, and used my Dremel brass miniature wheel on the zipper and pull and brass handle holders. It looks brand new. I oiled the zipper. I then gave the vinyl 2 coats of no buildup floor wax to seal, protect and waterproof. It will wash off with Castile soap if needed, let it set a few minutes and wipe the vinyl down. But, the wax gives the vinyl a very light sheen. The bag, in great condition when I got it as if it had been in storage, looks amazing now. It doesn't look almost 30 years old.
The end results are amazing---the zipper looks brand new, actually! I was wondering do you still have the original lock with it? Again, thank you for this video. It has been very useful. :)
Hey love this video! How many times can u polish the metals? I recently bought a keepall and I made all the process you did. But I can see some of the beautiful shine is gone after few weeks. Let me know please
It's a hard one but I don't think u can beat fresh air lots of fresh air even if u carefully hang it on your washing line I did that with one of mine lol ,it does help x
I love your video! I am about to buy a pre-loved speedy bag =-) I don’t really know where the best place to buy would be as there are many scam places on the market. May I ask where did you buy yours? Thanks so much x
Hi I did make a video about where to buy them from and how to get them authenticated check through my videos and u should find it it will help u out 😘😘😘
Yes the older they are and the more use they've had the darker the handles go you can't really lighten them ,you can wipe them over with leather cleaner ,if you really want to you can have new handles fitted at LV and then they would be really light again ,hope that makes sense hahh x
Hello Dear, can U say me or better buy speedy monogram or damier azur ? Which u can order better, what is yours experience? I really love da but I'm scare is not practical at all.. thank You anyway, great video, greetings!:)
how did you get rid of the green stuff? I heard it's mold and I have some on my speedy 30 that's 12 years old. I tried cleaning it, but it isn't removing fully. Now that I know its mold it makes me sick to use.
Hi you could try spraying it very carefully with furniture polish and slide the zip up and down a few times to work the polish in and then hopefully it should glide better 😊
Jennifer McMillan I've had luck with small charcoal pouches that can be placed inside an LV bag without damaging the lining. For tougher odors I'll take a plastic bag filled with paper towels and sprayed with Meguiars Odor Eliminator. Leave the ziplock bag open a bit and set inside your ha drag with it zipped closed for two days. There are other methods I haven't tried but these two seem to be pretty good.
I put laundry dryer sheets in the LV bags, works wonders!!! - I put one in every pocket and two in the main compartment :) I use the scented ones, vanilla and the smell fads away.
Mrs Pinky - Crazy Bag Lady just hoping there’s a way to brighten or lighten the vintage bags when they look like they are getting almost black. I’ve recently gotten a vintage monogram and it’s just a dark dull look. Went over it with alcohol free wipes and nothing came off, so I guess she’s just aged and can’t be brightened. Thanks for your help. I’m on my way right now to get brasso for the metal..
Yes I know what u mean about the darkening I will see if I can find anything out and if I do I will make a video and see if it works be great if something does work
Mine has! Left side was 822 ( 82 means it was made 1982) and (2 was month February) AND right side if you're facing the DATE CODES is (SA means MADE IN ITALY) I did a little research about it.
Okay great. *sigh of relief* :) Yes I agree. I'm planning on getting it authenticated also. Do LV stores heat stamp for free? Thank you so much for your reply!
YES, they hot stamp for free here in the USA. You might want to purchase a leather ID tag, having "lost" the original. In this way, your hot stamped ID tag personalizes your bag, while it remains 100% sellable for the future. And that ID tag can still work with your other LV's. Hope this helps, good luck! 👛 xx
It is my dream to own a Louis Vuitton speedy one day! Do you recommend where I could buy a second hand one that will be guaranteed to be authentic? Thanks keep the vlogs coming I love to watch you as you brighten up my day xxx
Evelyn Scicluna Fashionphile is guaranteed to sell authentic designer bags. I got a pre loved LV wallet from there that I could no longer get from the boutique.
Louis Vuitton site says just to use a damp soft towel and soap. Don't use anything else. What works is slight damp cloth and use Zote soap, slightly damp. It might be nice in the short run but eventually all those chemicals will catch up.
Reviewer's Delight by Just Me! But I took her the get repair and the Louis Vuitton store in the city and the sent her out four weeks ago she is vintage so my code is different i’m just trying to figure out what year in the 80s?
WARNING!!! Be very careful with the Brasso, I recently cleaned my bag, the best advice is to use painters tape to cover up the leather around the areas you are applying the Brasso to. I, however, did not think about the actual fabric that the teeth of the zipper are attached to. Brasso has a bleaching effect on fabric. There are a few spots I got the Brasso on when cleaning the zipper, almost unavoidable unless extremely careful, I cleaned the Brasso off the fabric with a baby wipe but I have noticed those areas have light spots, not completely bleached but there is light spots. To hide this I put coconut oil on a cotton swab and ran it along the fabric part of the zipper, it makes the fabric look dark brown again.
Thank you! My vintage Speedy 35 from 1990 just arrived today and I am going to work on it this weekend. I really appreciate the tips.
Oh how fabulous let me know how u get on xx
Where do people orders those from .? Thank You Blessings n Peace To You n Family
I have several Louis Vuitton vintage bags. I love your post because of the information to bring the brass back to life.

Does the leather cream also take out any water spots? If so, what cream did you use?
What was the leather cream you used

Any idea how to get the storage smell out of canvas pieces?
It's a hard one but I don't think u can beat fresh air lots of fresh air even if u carefully hang it on your washing line I did that with one of mine lol ,it does help x

Can we clean the canvas and how? I’m
How do you clean the handles I have the same one but mines a 25 the handles have gone super dark
Yes the older they are and the more use they've had the darker the handles go you can't really lighten them ,you can wipe them over with leather cleaner ,if you really want to you can have new handles fitted at LV and then they would be really light again ,hope that makes sense hahh x

Hello Dear, can U say me or better buy speedy monogram or damier azur ? Which u can order better, what is yours experience? I really love da but I'm scare is not practical at all.. thank You anyway, great video, greetings!:)
Damier azure is lovely and more hard wearing than you would x
Great video! Thank you for sharing this. :-)
All_Things_ Beautiful arrr my pleasure xx
how did you get rid of the green stuff? I heard it's mold and I have some on my speedy 30 that's 12 years old. I tried cleaning it, but it isn't removing fully. Now that I know its mold it makes me sick to use.
Is the green on the brass bits ? If it is you need to clean it with the brasso it will get it of x
It’s not mould, it’s corrosion from the brass.
Were can I buy authentic preloved bags like this one 😊
Bag mad boutique is very good or eBay u can find some good bags sometimes xx
She's lovely!
Oh thank u xx
Wife caught me watching this just now she goes "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WATCHING" I closed the door she dont understand 😁😁😄
😆
Do you have any tricks on how to get a slow zipper to go faster?
Hi you could try spraying it very carefully with furniture polish and slide the zip up and down a few times to work the polish in and then hopefully it should glide better 😊
On other videos, they take a piece of waxed paper (kitchen) and rub it up and down the zipper to help it slide easier.

Did you clean the canvas? There’s videos all over of cleaning brass Can you make a recommendation of cleaning the canvas?
I know some people have used baby wipes but all I did was wipe over with a damp cloth not soaking wet only slightly damp x

Cotton buds are good to apply the brasso carefully
Yes very true x
Does your bag have the date code separated into two parts? Like the letters on one side and the numbers on the other?
Mine has! Left side was 822 ( 82 means it was made 1982) and (2 was month February) AND right side if you're facing the DATE CODES is (SA means MADE IN ITALY) I did a little research about it.
Thank you so much! I just bought a vintage Louis Vuitton with the same exact date code as you 😂😂😂
WAAHHHHHH!!! Really????WOW!!!! Tha'ts awesome Hun:)) 100% that's authentic.
Wow!!!!That's awesome:)) That's an authentic LV for sure!
Your welcome Hun:)) Enjoy your LV bag!
My vintage 25&30 are 1989. The vintage pieces have the best canvas.
Yes they are lovely
Hi! Does this bag have a pocket inside? Are there Speedy 40s with no inner pockets?
No it doesn't have a inner pocket some older ones don't but I did get it authenticated just to be sure x
Okay great. *sigh of relief* :) Yes I agree. I'm planning on getting it authenticated also. Do LV stores heat stamp for free? Thank you so much for your reply!
Umm I'm not sure ,I love heat stamps but the only trouble is if u want to sell it on after it's harder to sell if that makes sense xx
YES, they hot stamp for free here in the USA. You might want to purchase a leather ID tag, having "lost" the original. In this way, your hot stamped ID tag personalizes your bag, while it remains 100% sellable for the future. And that ID tag can still work with your other LV's. Hope this helps, good luck! 👛 xx
Yes that makes me think twice before getting my bag heat stamped. Thanks for your response! xoxo
Have just bought a pre loved speedy but no lock have you any ideas where I can purchase one? Xx
Mandie Kendall have u tried eBay xx
How did you take the green off of it
It comes out with the brasso x
Saddle soap will feed the leather & clean it
Thank you, I'm to try this on one of my bags! BTW, This should be an accidental ASMR video.. Lol
Lol awww thank you ☺️
Fab darling 😉👜
Thanks honey 😘😘😘🛍🛍🛍
Can i use the brasso on my prada zippers?
Hi I wouldnt like to say for definite but u could try a tiny bit on a cotton bud and see if it works ? Xx
What kind cleaner?
It is my dream to own a Louis Vuitton speedy one day! Do you recommend where I could buy a second hand one that will be guaranteed to be authentic? Thanks keep the vlogs coming I love to watch you as you brighten up my day xxx

Thanks but think I might have to win the lottery first lol!If you ever decide to sell one of yours please let me know? xxx
Can some one tell me if SA841 legit
Aure olivrz sounds like made in France January 1984
Louis Vuitton site says just to use a damp soft towel and soap. Don't use anything else. What works is slight damp cloth and use Zote soap, slightly damp. It might be nice in the short run but eventually all those chemicals will catch up.
Can some one tell me if code VL 8902 Is authentic thank you
No, that would be the 80th week of 1992
Reviewer's Delight by Just Me! But I took her the get repair and the Louis Vuitton store in the city and the sent her out four weeks ago she is vintage so my code is different i’m just trying to figure out what year in the 80s?
I brought her at LXR and co
Reviewer's Delight by Just Me! Or early 90s
It's 1989 2nd month.

I have the same MB0990 paid $1.000.
So much ads...
Nothing quite like a dirty old bag 😂🤣😂
Lol 😆
