Buenos días! Hoy os traigo los cuidados intensivos de mi bolso Alma de Louis Vuitton. Os cuento, lo primero, que era un bolso que me gustaba pero me costó mucho tiempo decir si lo quería o no. El estambado monogram de Louis Vuitton es todo un clásico, y la mezcla de tonos marrones me encanta, pero yo no soy nada de logos y no me gusta llevar nada que grite la marca a los cuatro vientos, por eso me suelo mantener alejada de este tipo de estampados. Además, al ser un estampado que se ha replicado tanto en falsificaciones, siempre me recuerda un poco a bolsos de imitación que venden en las playas o en el metro. Por estos dos motivos me he resisitido durante años a un bolso monogram, pero pasaba el tiempo y le seguía teniendo el ojo echado. Otra cosa que no me gustaba nada es la piel vachetta nueva, creo que es una piel que gana según va envejeciendo, así que tenía claro que si algún día me hacía con uno de estos bolsos, sería uno vintage.
Good morning! Today I'm sharing my vintage Louis Vuitton Alma bag repair. First let me tell you, I had liked this bag for a while, but I was not sure I wanted it. Louis Vuitton monogram print is really a classic, and I love the brown hues combination, but I'm not crazy about logos and I really don't like items that show off the brand, that's why I usually stay away from this kind of prints. The other thing that bothered me, is the high volume of fake replicas Louis Vuitton has. The strong presence of LV duplicates sold in beaches, metro stations or flea markets make me doubt every LV bag I see on the streets. Those two reasons made me resist this bag for a few years, but for some reason I kept eyeing it all the time. I'm also not a big fan of brand new vachetta leather, this is a kind of leather that gets better as it ages, so if I was ever going to get this bag, I knew it would be a vintage piece.
Tras meses rondando todas las webs de moda vintage y segunda mano, encontré este a buen precio, y en un estado que me pareció aceptable. Así que lo compré y me puse manos a la obra. Ya había restaurado previamente mi preciosísimo Lady Dior, del que ya os enseñé la transformación, y una maravilla de Chanel, que puede que hayáis visto por mi Instagram, y pronto os enseñaré por aquí.
After months searching every online preloved site, I found this one at a nice price and in an acceptable state. So I got it and started the intensive care process. I had already repaired my gorgeous Lady Dior, which I previously shared here, and a unique Chanel piece, that you might have seen on my Instagram, and I hope to share soon here.
De momento os dejo un video con todo el proceso de restauración del bolso vintage Alma de Louis Vuitton, espero que os guste y os sea útil para algún bolso similar.
