Handbag Facelift | HOW TO DYE VACHETTA LEATHER | Louis Vuitton Speedy 25
Oh man I had SO MUCH FUN making this video! I am so excited to share with you guys the crafty/lux combination I have been having fun playing around with in my free time!
Dying the leather has been so fun and takes so much patience but SO worth it in the end especially if you have grungy leather that needs to be updated but you don't want to pay for all new leather to be put on at Louis Vuitton.
DISCLAIMER: Do thi sat your own risk. I am not a pro I am a crafting gal just doing her best. Once you paint on an LV it voids any warranty you would have with them otherwise so be sure that you are ok with doing this to your bags.
Here's the list of tools/materials needed for the adventure:
LV bag of your choice; for good selection my favorite place to look for project pieces is Ebay. fashionphile.pxf.io/x9dOJy

This was SUCH a fun project to do and I definitely see myself doing more of these in the future (I’ve done 3 so far!) and next time I’ll show you guys how to paint on the canvas! I already sold this one and it went pretty quickly and I made about 100.00 on it + just had fun being creative! Win - WIN!

Just FyI in case someone else attempts this. Please please dab the excess dye off. If it’s alcohol base. It will crack up the leather a d have it wrinkle like. Once done take a terry cloth and rub the excess dye off. Dye can sit on top and take longer to dry. Once completely dry add some conditioner to the dye area. Then your matte sealant from agelus!! Thank me later.

@CarolenGrayToday Жыл бұрын

That’s a good tip! They say on their website and videos you don’t need anything as a sealant but if you’ve had issues there ya go! This one didn’t have those issues after so I wonder if it has to do with the age of the bag?

Congrats!! 🎊🎉🍾🎈 That’s so exciting!! I haven’t seen one with the brown dye but I bet it would be pretty! The damier ebene print always has treated leather that’s chocolatey brown and I have always thought the mono with choco brown leather would be perfect!

Looks Awesome!!... are you still able to condition the leather periodically after staining it?

@CarolenGrayToday Жыл бұрын

I don’t have an answer for that on the ready so I would have to research that but I would GUESS yes, it would probably create a barrier between the stain and the elements every time you condition it.

Did you have to use a leather deglosser or prep the leather prior to dye in order for it to absorb?

Great question and I did not. The old vachetta leather is not treated so there is no barrier to remove. You can wipe down the leather to remove dirt from it all first. That’s all I did!

Is dying better than painting leather on these bags? Which one is most durable and less maintenance? Thanks!

@CarolenGrayToday Жыл бұрын

So my personal opinion is that with the dye the leather can still breathe a little. Painting the leather seems like it would suffocate it and cause it to dry out faster and crack. I could be wrong but it makes sense in my brain! Lol I haven’t painted the leather of any of them though. ☺️

I just bought a cheap LV alma on ebay and plan on dying the vachetta black… i love the look!! And with a new LV bag it is stressful to carry- I get so worried about the vachetta staining, so for my mental health I just purchase pre-loved now. I also bought clear resoline from the same dye brand to seal it after I dye it. I too was worried about dye wearing off, but also the resoline comes in matte, satin, gloss etc… so you can choose the finish which is a bonus to me. I don’t know too much, as I’m still waiting on my alma to arrive in the mail, but it’s worth investigating if you’re worried about dye getting on expensive designer clothes.
