So, you’ve got yourself a Louis Vuitton cloth purse, huh? Congrats! That’s, like, a statement piece. But let’s be real, those things get dirty. Like, *really* dirty. You’re carrying it everywhere, tossing it in your car (guilty!), maybe even using it as a makeshift pillow on the train (don’t judge!).
First off, there are so many styles. You got your totes, your shoulder bags, even those cute little crossbody numbers. And some of them are actually *cloth*, not just that iconic Monogram canvas. Which, honestly, cleaning those cloth ones? A whole different ball game.
I saw this thing on Vestiaire Collective about buying secondhand ones. Okay, cool, sustainability and all that. But seriously, who knows what kind of *stuff* is lurking in those pre-owned bags? Did someone spill their latte in it? Did their chihuahua have an accident? The possibilities are endless… and kinda gross.
Then there’s the straps! Oh, the straps. They seem to attract dirt like a magnet. I swear, I could clean mine every day and it’d still look like I wrestled a mud monster. Apparently, eBay has some Louis Vuitton *cotton* bags? I didn’t even know that was a thing! But hey, more options, right?
Now, let’s talk cleaning. You Google “how to clean Louis Vuitton bag” and you get a million different answers. Soft cloth, white cloth, special cleaners… It’s overwhelming! And honestly, I’m always terrified I’m going to ruin the thing. Like, one wrong move and suddenly your expensive bag looks like it was attacked by a bottle of bleach. No thanks.
Honestly, I’m kinda scared of cleaning the inside, too. Crumbs, loose change, that one lipstick you lost months ago… it’s a whole ecosystem in there. I read a blog post saying you should use a soft, clean white cloth. Sounds easy enough, but I’m still picturing some kind of hidden stain I’m going to unleash. Yikes.
