For those who have purchased any LV bags from kenberg with the natural untreated leather: Did they develop the HONEY tan/brown color patina that the authentic LV's develop?
I don't think this has ever been addressed before with LV bags and I think it is an important factor in the replicas. For ME, it is the only reason I want the leather LV's, I LOVE that gorgeous honey brown leather, it gives the bag a vintage-distressed look.
I have 2 LV bags that I purchased from Ruby years ago., a monogram speedy and monogram dog carrier both with the untreated leather handles and trim. After 2-3 years they only developed a very light tan on the leather, definately NOT in the honey- tan shade. The handles on the bags were darker but only where my hands held it. The light tan color is nowhere near the HONEY tan/brown that the auth lv leather develops and it never will.
So this made me wonder if the higher quality LV bags like the ones Kenberg sells, if the leather darkens to the honey brown shade like the auth LV's. It should, right ? If the bag is higher quality this should include the leather as well, right?
I would appreciate any feedback and photos.
