I had the same white mark on the side of a patent bag the same as the one on your pink twist bag. I read that you can rub a tiny amount of olive oil on it so I tried it and it worked instantly. Mine was bad so I didn’t mind experimenting as I didn’t think it could make it worse.
Oh I also have an LV bag (Sperone mini backpack) with bite marks. It’s on the vachette and they are from my cat. Why she decided to chew on that bag I do not know. It’s great seeing you love and enjoy your bags. While I’m not deliberately careless I do the same. The LV canvas can take a lot of love.
Thank you for sharing. I'm on the opposite side, I'm OCD about my bags and none of my 204 bags show any wear expect for a few that have some slouching and hairline scratches on locks which is unavoidable. I condition my bags regularly, some after each wear. If I see bags start showing discoloration at corners I'd bring/send them to SPA or to my amazing Japanese cobbler to make them like new again. And if I see the bag is prone to scratches I let it go. Actually, I'm more concerned with my expensive jewelry getting scratched on chains and zippers while I reach inside the bags, but I repolish and restore those regularly as well. That's just me, it may have something to do that I'm a Virgo lol
my mini sequined baguette is prone to threads getting caught on the part near the flap. So i can't really wear it with fuzzy sweaters unless i hold it by hand. Also a pen cap came off and ended up marking the satin interior. i don't necessarily expect bags to stand up to extreme damage scenarios, but i would expect them to stand up longer to daily wear.
Thank you for this video! I needed it 😅 I obsess over wear and tear, probably too much, and it’s good to hear from others that it’s a totally normal part of life 😄
I am sure my bags have wears as well if I look at them closely. I agree with you, I buy them to enjoy using them and not keep them. It really does add to the story and beauty of each piece.
Hi Amelia! My Abba bless you. I am glad you made this video. I have an LV vintage speedy I have wanted to take in and have the leather replaced. But I seem to love how old it looks with all its flaws. What would you do? Recently, one of the leather tabs broke in half. Where the lock hangs. But I happen to love how worn it looks. Would you take it in for repairs? Or leave it worn?
I use a Fendigraphy as my everyday bag. I love it but of course the FENDI on the bottom of the bag is so scratched, I knew that would happen and am not worried by it. On the plus side because the FENDI bit acts as really good feet thereare no marks on the leather.
Why i don’t want to baby bags anymore.. no matter how careful we think we can be, one way or another those signs will show.. so why stress myself in keeping them “pristine” .. like us ladies, we will age and show the wrinkles.. bags when they show signs of wear, only shows how vintage and loved they were by being appreciated so much by us buyers. This is how I atleast see it 😉
Are you surprised by the damage or is it to be expected!?
All my bags have love marks! Just because you love them and want to wear them 💜

Even a vase on display gets chips or cracks over time. Just use them with love xx

Thank you - such an honest video.

Some I treasure and some I trash. It’s ok if you have a big stash 😂😂😂

I actually fine wearing a bag in is fun. And really defines it as yours.
I totally expect bags I use to show signs of use. Unless it’s catastrophic I just shrug it off.

It’s always hard seeing the first mark or scratch but I don’t see the point of having them if they’re not going to be used ❤
I buy preloved for the ones I actually want to wear and not baby lol
I’m not going to inspect any of mine as I suspect mine will be the same x
This convinces me that rep bags are a good idea for use.
