Louis Vuitton Houston Handbag Dye Job

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- I finally got around to dyeing my LV Houston bag! For this video I take you through with me step by step with me in figuring out how to do it (after having researched just a wee bit). I'm hoping that listening to me share what I am doing along the way will inform you and inspire you to do the same for a similar type of project you might be thinking of.
I repeatedly said "Angelese" for Angelus brand dye throughout the vid. Apologies. Sorry also for my roses in the background, which I neglected to notice were in a state of near death.

Wow, this looks absolutely stunning. I purchased a yellow Vernis and on the images it looked amazing and I got a fabulous deal on it when it arrived there was a lot of discoloration and a lot of odor and just not a very pretty bad so I decided I was going to go ahead and try dying it black so I watched your video and to my amazement. I am absolutely stunned with the results. I cannot wait to do this on my bag that turned out amazing thank you so much for sharing all of your details and insight. I cannot wait to do this for myself.
Have you done it yet? How did it turn out?
@@SCENTGOURMAND yes I did, and it turned out fabulous. It was a labor of love and took me several hours and probably about four different coats just to get to the level of evenness so that everything looked good but thank you for showing how to do this because I love my bag it turned out amazing
Good job.. I have a Vernis Wilshire looking worn & tired, I’ll follow this steps and give it a shot to rejuvenate it 👍
Did you do it yet?
This has me so excited to do the one I got. It's the same as yours just bigger and the same funky yellow color but mine has stripes faded up and down the bag like it was sitting behind bars locked up in jail 😂 Thank you for sharing your process to get it done 😊
Cheers! I wish you the best of luck with your process. Careful with getting dust or lint or fuzz into the liquids!
@@SCENTGOURMAND Yes I'll definitely be doing this closed up in my home office. No kids or dog allowed while I'm working on my project lol. I used leather paint a few years ago and painted like 80% of my leather couch and it turned out pretty darn good. I'm hoping this process is going to be similar just using dye not paint. Thanks again for your awesome detailed video!
👍
I saw a bag like this at a resale shop and passed on it because I thought that bag was done. I wish I’d gotten it after seeing how adventurous you were in your video. I watched all at least 4 x. Good job. Lots of details that are valuable.
Cheers, Carol! I hope you find another bag. The project is fun to do, and I think you’d enjoy the bag much more because of the work you put into it.
I purchased a Vernis bag with water marks and had been thinking of getting someone to make it all black. This video helped me make that decision final! So excited to try this out :) Great video!!
How did it turn out?
Thank you for the video, it was so informative and made me think “I can do this’. ☺️
Got my hands on the same bag (for a steal) and today I’m starting the dye process.
Hope I can do as good a job as you did 😌
Good luck! Let us know how it goes. 2 tips 1- prep leather well 2- thin coats!
How did it come out? Did it last?
Oh my gosh that was amazing. I had no idea. Thank you so much for doing this video it makes me want to take the chance and do my speedy...i'd love black handles!
Go for it, Athena! If you're really concerned about screwing things up, just cover the non-vachetta bits with painter's tape.
@@SCENTGOURMAND Thanks for the tip! I'll let you know how it goes.
Great video. You gave me the courage to dye a billfold. It came out nice.
Good luck with the billfold, Joyce!
the roses situation is too funny. really enjoyed this. i have a box of estate sale bags [nothing as valuable as LV] that I think I can improve this way.
Absolutely! And certainly a bag does not have to have a fancy brand name to be worth updating/renewing in this way.
I have the same LV Houston in the same ugly yellow. I bought the dyeing and finishing products and will attempt to dye mine too. Thank you for the video! Stay tuned.
Let me know how it goes!
How did it go? What's the final result? Did it work out well?
What a beautiful job you did! Makes me want to do my own!
Go for it!
Oh my! been looking for the care and fix my bag. Well you have exactly the same bag n color that I have!just excited knowing about this ! I hope I can find the items at the store . US have it all .Well good luck to me ! THank you dear n Im going to dye my bag Red!
I think red is a good choice, especially if it's dark. I hope you end up satisfied with your work!
This is the most beautiful transformation! I am definitely going to have to add one of these to my collection 🙌🏼✨🔥😎
Go for it!
Wow! That looks great. And I didn't think you could dye patent leather
Yes you can!
New Subscriber here! I’m about to do the same preparation on my LV Houston Vernis Bag. Thanks for sharing this video. 😀
I saw your video and can't wait to see how yours turns out. Best of luck!
This was amazing! And soo therapeutic! Can’t wait to see your other vids and start renewing my bags!
Glad you enjoyed! Yes, I have a couple more bags I plan to dye soon...
Great job!!! I wish you kept the handles, but the black look ok too.
Cheers! Yeah, I get a wee bit of criticism for the handles. Personal preference, I guess!
@@SCENTGOURMAND You couldn't know that ahead. Did it held up well? Did you have any transfer?
@@babycakes8434 not so far! My mom now has the bag, but she keeps it in a dust bag - that helps. However, on another patent bag I had, I was storing it on a large book and noticed that there was a transfer - thankfully from the bag to the book and not the other way around. Patent is tricky!
This is amazing! You are amazing and I love your energy!
Kind comments - thank you!
Fantastic video and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Most welcome!
@sentgourmand FABULOUS I can't believe you just popped up today as I was just about to return a green Venis LV back to Japan because it arrived far more discolored than disclosed. But now I think, I'm going to take the plunge! 3 questions: I'm just terrified about getting the fabric dye on the interior, how did you prevent that? And, what did you use to remove the paint from exterior hardware, and the fabric dye from the zipper? Toothbrush and acetone? Did the fabric dye/fabric paint turn out to be color fast and fade resistant? I am so very grateful to you for this, as it terrifies me a little lol. Thank you so very much for your help.
Sorry for the long wait! I guess I might be too late - did you already try it?? Re getting dye on the interior, I simply took my time, but if you are really worried, you could use painter's tape to guard the parts you're worried about. Re the Zipper, you can actually buy fabric dye for that, which is what I think I did(?), but on another bag I just used the same dye. The worry is, however, that it may run or melt if it gets wet in future. I've not had a problem, but I am not certain... Acetone works fine on the metal - just a cotton swab would be better than a toothbrush. PS - I understand the hesitation. The first time is daunting! And the risk s real (check my video on the other patent leather LV bag I did: I basically gluend flint into the side of the bag!!!)
@SCENTGOURMAND you for your time in answering me! Somehow I missed it lol. Well, I did it! It came out so/so. Not sure how, but air bubbles got into the dye upon application and they only got worse when I wiped after 30 seconds (I don't think they are fibers). Which caused me to hesitate wiping again. Which caused pooling and streaks. Although it did come out shiny! I'm thinking of trying to take the dye off and starting over, just not sure how to do that yet. The Fiebings leather sheen only made it worse (is it supposed to be so runny, or did I get a bad batch from Amazon?). Sigh. The zipper was the least of my worries, that came out fine and I used a fabric dye pen as you did (thank you). The biggest heartache came from the leather straps. I tried to keep the natural vachetta because they were in such amazing condition. I used liquid masking tape on the front leather "lapels" then covered with painters tape and wrapped the painters tape on the handles. The liquid masking tape was a mistake. Not only did it do a so-so job on the lapels, but it adhered to the perfect bright stitching on the lapels and I'm having a helluva time getting it out. Doesn't stick to the leather tho which was what I tested it on. Sigh. I may have to paint the handles black if I can't get it off. Any thoughts? I'll be your best friend if you have a working suggestion :) Regardless, THANK YOU & love your videos. XO
@@leelei4636 Oh no! Sorry for the pain! Yes, the liquids are runny. The trick to the dye is to put it on very thin - one layer at a time. The thinner it is the more air bubbles might appear, but actually, most do go down when you wait. What is the current texture of the finish on your bag? If it has fibers in it, I'm afraid that might be it. But if it's just a case of needing more color and a better finish, you could just do it again. I would not recommend stripping it again... Now as for the straps, vachetta will pick up EVERYTHING because it is not sealed/finished/protected. Even if you do use painter's tape, you have to be careful! If it adhered to the stitching, I'd guess that the painter's tape was perhaps subpar? I never experienced that issue. If you take a very tacky (non-paper!) packing tape - the stuff that is supposed to peer off without residue and pat it on to the residue left on your bag, you might be able to lift it off gradually. Good luck!
@@SCENTGOURMAND p.s., I did use the wool dabbers that came with the Angelus black leather dye (can't get Fiebings dye delivered to us in SoCal for some reason), and still got air bubbles and streaks. Maybe the application was too thick? Maybe the rag (cut up clean white cotton t-shirt) was the wrong type of rag? No clue. :(
@@leelei4636 Yeah, any multitude of factors. I did use the dapper and I remember the liquid being very thin. It goes on very streaky at first (esp with thin layers). I suspect you should perhaps have gone with thinner layers? And more of them? In any case, don't give up - it may still be fixable! My reade bag was not, due to the filaments: th-cam.com/video/VDdhtra3ZrQ/w-d-xo.html
Excellent Job!!! Prior to your video I always viewed that particular LV Tote as one of LV's ugliest creations, haha! That yellowy, patent leather "echh" color, paired with vachetta leather seems to look awful regardless of the condition of the bag. (My sincere apologies to those who have enjoyed the bag!) As it turns out, LV did many a favor by the making the bag an easily 'dyable' color, and you've managed to make it look amazing! Well Done!! I have to second the other commenter who mentioned the perfection of that vachetta! Wow, looks like perhaps it was re-done by LV. I do understand why you dyed it though. Quick question... did you end up using mostly the Angelus paint on the Vachetta (you started with what you had left), or did you eventually switch over to the Dye? They look great so just wondering which you used to create that finish on the handles. Thanks! As a side note, the square hole in the Angelus paint box is to set the jar in so it won't spill. Not sure if the Fiebings Dye has that or not. Sorry for such a long post!
haha - I thought the same of this bag. Dye can change anything. I found out about the Angelus box design a wee bit later. Sadly, it was a while back when I dyed this now and I cannot distinguish one dye from the other in my head. I think for the vacchetta, either brand will do. Actually, I like both brands equally. I did buy a low gloss finish in both brands, though, if I recall correctly (not a flat matte black, but not glossy, either).
Amazing! I have this exact bag, it’s actually beige originally but over time in the sun it will turn yellow. Mines actually still beige. Sometimes I wish mine was a different color but it’s too good condition to dye I think.
Keep on enjoying it as is! If it does yellow badly, you know you can dye it. I've since passed this one on to my mom, who loves it. :)
You did a great job! I'm going to dye mine a mahogany or deep grape color. I've seen it done on a video and absolutely love the color 😍
I think I may have seen the same vid... Yes, deep reds, browns, and purples would work well!
@@SCENTGOURMAND what does the wiping in between coats do? I started dying mine and wiped after the first two coats but didn't wipe on the last third coat and it's very shiny. Had I wiped it that would dull the shine. Why wipe?
@@abbyluxemburg8968 I learned that it prevents pooling. But in retrospect, I could have saved dye (and potentially avoided a duller look?) by not wiping (or wiping less). My original coating before dyeing was much duller, so I'm happy with my result, but it sounds like your way seemed to work well!
@@SCENTGOURMAND I think I like the duller look better. And I like the black better so I'm redoing it again LOL! Have a great day ⚘
@@SCENTGOURMAND !!!! I redyed mine to flat black and the top zipper bay I dyed orange and the very top pink to the seems and absolutely love it!!! Wish I could send you a picture!!! Have a great day my friend! 🌹😊👍
Do you know if I can still dye my patent leather Chanel if the patent has been damaged, meaning I used too much acetone and alcohol wiping the bag. You did a wonderful job on your bag!
Cheers! Yes, I think you can still do it. Thin coats on a dust-free surface, and don’t forget the ‘sealant’ it’s when patent cracks that you’re in trouble. Also, I hear it’s hard to get rid of stickiness (humid climates like where I live suffer from this)
Excellent job, kudos ❤🎉
Thank you! 😃
Thumb me up! Oh wait.... that didn't sound right 😁 thanks for the post. I have a few patent leather bag I need to reconditioned and I had no clue how to do it or even possible. So thanks again
Most welcome!
Your bag looks great!
You did a great job in that bag! I just wish you would have left the handles the natural color. I think it would’ve made the bag pop so much more.
Perhaps, but I'm afraid I'm simply not a fan of vachetta - the colour, the wear over time. Cheers for the comment!
I watched a tutorial that said when you apply color to the dab it off on a bit of paper towel first to avoid pooling and too much product being applied. They also said that do one coat in one direction and then turn the bag a quarter way then apply in the other direction before applying dye again.
Yes, that'd work! Whatever you can do to avoid pooling is fine. Applying in another directions makes sense, too. This would be to avoid a streaking effect. When I rubbed my bag down, I used a circular motion for the most part, if I recall. I think tips like this are all the more important if you're doing something other than black.
You did a good job...
Thanks, Lyn! I'm pleased with it. :)
Amazing! Have you dyed any vernis to a matte or flat black? Any tips or recommendations?
I’ve never done it, but I’ve seen in done. You have to use a dye with no gloss or sheen to it. Likewise, the sealing layer or top coat has to be gloss-free. Personally, I don’t feel patent leather stripped of its shine is that nice-looking; it’s not the same as regular leather…
Love it! Help is the Resolene only for the handles? or for the bag part as well? I want to leave the straps on mine as the brown leather.
Hey, Kamila! Sorry - I thought I'd replied to you earlier! Resolene is only for the handles. I used a finisher for the patent part of the bag, which does have an acrylic finish so also seals it (I think I mentioned it in the video?)
@@SCENTGOURMAND Thank you for the reply! I'm still in the process of dying my yellow Vernis Mott bag. I have already applied two coats of the Fiebing's Black Leather Dye. So the next step is to coat it with the Fiebing's Leather Sheen right? That's the finisher you're talking about? Thanks :)
Thank you for the video. I have a vintage LV that has a bunch of scuffs and stains. I now want to dye it. black. Was it difficult to remove dye off the hardware?
With nail polish remover, no! :)
Thank you for the video. I’m planning to do the same with Houston bag. One thing I did not understand was: when dyeing it and waiting 30secs, do you use acetone to wipe the excess dye off? Or only a dry cloth? Thank you.
Dry cloth. :)
I have a green Houston and rarely use it. I want to try this. For clarity, the dye you used for the same for the bag as it is for the straps? And has it held up over time?
This was a while back, but yeah, i think so. I passes it on to my mom, and she's not said anything re wear and tear. Re resoleen on straps: that might wear off with time or peel off if layed on too thick. (Happened on my Speedy). I just re-did and it's fine!
WOW!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video 💛 Could you please add a list of the products used in the description? 🙏 It would be so helpful 🥺
Did you use the same product for the body (vernis) and the handles (leather)?
Hello, Maria. The two dye companies I mentioned are fiebing.com/ and angelusdirect.com/ Those websites are good at telling you what products to use for what leather and effect. Just make sure you get dye, and not paint. You can get different colours, tones, and finishes. I would go for gloss if you're doing patent leather. The leather conditioner I used was from Cadillac, I think. Everything else is products from where I live in Japan, I think, so that will unlikely help you, unless 日本に住んでいますか？ I'm sure acetone can be had wherever you live!
@@SCENTGOURMAND thank you so much, that’s incredibly helpful! Haha truth is that I don’t speak Japanese, however, these websites are very informative. I’m planning to dye a LV Houston too, hope it’s going to turn out good (it wouldn’t have been possible without your video and instructions) :) I want to use a mirror effect chrome dye, to make it look like miroir 😍
Thanks,
Maria
Good luck, Maria! I hope you enjoy the project and that it turns out well!
Hello Trine I did dye my mom's beautiful leather tote and left to dry for 24 hrs however the color is transfering to my hands etc, do you know how to remedy this please? Thanks so much. Enjoyed your vids.🥰
Cheers. OK, a) did you use both leather dye (from Fiebings or Angelus) AND acrylic finisher? It's the acrylic stuff inside that sealant that prevents the dye from bleeding. Without it, yes - it will get all over the place. What products did you use? How many coats? Did you rub off excess? How much time between coats?
Lovely video, thanks. I just finished dyeing a LV Thompson and looks amazing. I wasn't sure about sealing it because I tried this with a gloss sealant in the past on a LV Spring Street and the sealant showed signs of cracking. Can I ask how your finshed Houston is holding up 18 months later with the Fiebings leather sheen? Thanks🙂🙂
Hi there - cheers for the comment! I passed mine on to my mom soon after finishing it and doubt she’s used it a lot (lots of time at home theses days), so can’t speak to it’s condition, but in all honesty, I think cracking might be inevitable when it comes to dying patent. The better you prep the leather the better, but some of those seams will be tricky. I wouldn’t though out my supplies for a while. If it does happen, it can be fixed! :)
How is the bag holding up? I did a bag like this for a girlfriend, and it ended up chipping in places. When you put the sheen on, did you let it sit and wipe it away, or just put it on. Thanks!
My mom did report some chipping on the edges, yes. She said she put a paint market to it - though I'm not sure if that would hold up... I didn't wipe away the sheen.
Why do you do the edge separately? I’ve done this on that exact bag but I just did the hole thing at once! 🤷♀️
You can indeed do it all at once (you did!). I just prefer to get to all the nooks and crannies first - otherwize I find that I miss spots.
Hello. Great video. I just dyed my vernis wilshire from red to black and i noticed that after applying thr dye there is like fabric thteads om it and it is so matte. I tried to wipe inbetween and it has streaks mattes and threads. 😪😪😪. It is a mess. What can i do now
Did you buff a finishing product into it? Ultimately that is the only thing that will bring back the shine. It also depends on the condition of your back and how the surface was prepped... I'm sorry yours did not turn out - I hope you can fix it!
Hey! Now did you use 100% acetone? What do you recommend?
The label was in Japanese and it just read acetone, so I’m assuming so. ;)
Have you had any problems in the rain or with the dye transferring or rubbing off at all
Hi Halley! I gave this one to my mom, and I'm not sure how often she uses it, but no bad reports yet. The finish is most important because it acts as a seal.
@@SCENTGOURMAND thanks for replying gorgeous, I just bought one and I love. I’m never bringing in the rain or snow though or super hot weather. Heard the hot weather literally melts this bag. Should be 75 degrees or lower
@@Halp1819 That would explain why so many second-hand patent leather bags where I live in hot and sticky southern Japan are not in great condition!
I know this post is 4 years old but I'd like to know if the dye covered the threads too. Thank you
It sure did! I made sure of it, but it’s easy to overlook; you have to dig your paint brush in and around.
Does putting acetone on the hardware not take off some of the colour say if the hardware is coloured gold? x
If the hardware is cheap quality, it might affect it with enough repetitive scrubbing. But LV hardware is pretty resilient. It might be just brass plating (these days - It was likely 100% brass back in the day), but it is still brass. Not adverse effects in my experience so far!
Hi do you use dry cloth to wipe the excess dye or is the cloth dipped in acetone? Thanks
I just used a dry cloth.
Great job!
Can you please include the brand and store you bought the materials to do this? (I heard eh, so im from CA too - wink).
Hi, Dana! I got everything from Amazon (the Japan branch). Fiebings and Angelus are the two dye companies I recommend. Have a good day, eh! :)
I live in Buffalo, New York, and even I've been hearing that "eh" from Canadians for the past 30 years. It's certainly unmistakable! :)
Amazon has all of the materials!! Great quarantine project
I know it’s your bag, your call, but that vachetta is almost pristine! I’m in the process of rehabbing a Madewell black with brown handles.
Agreed. I simply prefer the black. And was also too lazy to carefully dye! ;)
So you apply the three coats of the leather dye, than the leather sheen and last the resolene?
Yes, minus resolene. I understood that you do not use resolene for patent leather. Instead, use the sheen.
Okay thanks and would you say it stays good? without the color bursts off?
@@gretasch.747 So sorry, Greta - I gifted this soon after finishing it, so I cannot say for absolute certain. I would imagine it is prone to some peeling or chipping around the seams. Keep you dyes ready for touch ups. Even though I think I did a good job, Im not a professional. That said, I think you might have potentially same issue if you have someone do it for you. It was not done in the tannery or in a chemical dye facility after all; it was done on my kitchen table. ;)
Hi, I'm going to start on my bag that came yesterday... How much bottles of dye should I purchase?
HI there - oh gosh, I can't remember now. Did I start with a bottle that was already open? If you live in the US, the dye is really cheap, so I'd go for 2 4oz bottles. I bottle of resolene is more than enough. The black resolene is better for this project, but if you want to be able to use it on other colours, too, get the clear version. Oh, wait - no sorry - no resolene for patent leather! Use what I used in the video.
@@SCENTGOURMAND Oh ok thanks, I also have another Houston bag but over the years it seems a screw/rivet has become missing. The one that attaches the handle to the bag and I cant find it anywhere, Any suggestions ?
the rag to wipe is with acetone or just dry
Acetone only at the start. After that, just to wipe.
Can I use LL bean boot guard as a leather conditioner ? It says it waterproofs and restores leather
Not familiar with that brand, but I don't see why not... But for after-dye on patent leather? Umm, I think you really will need something that will act as a seal - you don't want you dye to fade or bleed or stain...
Is The original color OF The bag is OFW whitening or yellowish
Good question. It was probably an off-white or cream that severely yellowed with time. There are a lot of patent leather bags form that era that are yellow, and it's not a good yellow. I have seen some like new in a whitish colour, so that is my guess, Mary Ann! That said, it could very well have been a much nicer yellow to start with, but I'll put my chips down on a cream. ;)
So i dyed the bag used all the same materials and when I put the leather sheen on the bag it made it look like there’s a foggy film on it 😫 any suggestions on how to make it shiny again?
Hi Jennifer! Yes, I noted mine was foggy too, initially, when I first put in on. If you put on the leather sheen final coat too thickly, this can happen. In my case, I just kept buffing the bag (elbow grease!) and it shined up. Note that if you’re doing a vintage piece, there’ll likely be less shine. If your bag is already dry, I’m afraid I’m not sure... maybe wet the bag again with a little sheen and keep buffing? You can always contact the company for advice. What colour is your bag now, by the way?
BAGHAG DIGEST it was yellow and now it’s black. One of the sides I dyed over the sheen and it looks better. I may just do another coat of the dye and once dry baby wipe it?
Can you use any dye for patent leather? Or does it have to be acrylic? Great job
Hey there. I'm not sure if you cannot use other dyes, but I've heard acrylic is best for patent... I'm no expert, mind!
It looks good but one of the reasons Vuitton didn't make the vernis bags in black is because the monogramming is more visible in lighter colors.
Makes sense, although other models do exist in black. I prefer understated looks anyway. ;)
I was dying my bag and got lint and dust stuck to it and it's dried. What do I have to do to remove it? Start from the beginning again by stripping it?
Hey, Soccer mom. Was is during the dye process or the resolene/ finishing phrase that you got lint/dust stuck in? Not that the question necessarily matters, as I don't honestly know what to do in this case, but I am thinking that if it's more to the surface, I would just use it and hope that it would wear down/off (possible if in the handles?). You could try rubbing it or rubbing it with water? Sorry this happened to you, and sorry I don't have the answers. I do think that stripping it could cause a lot more damage to the surface...
@@SCENTGOURMAND ok thank u
That bag would look great in a kelly green color.
Yes!
Wow 😮 awesome!
Thanks! 😁
Hi! Can someone tell me what products she used?
HI, Josephine. I usually use either Angelus or Feibings dye products.
BAGHAG DIGEST Thank you so much!✨ Great job! I hope my bag turns out as good as yours.
I tried on one of my peaces and the paint pulled, what would you recommend?
Hey there! What do you mean by « the paint pulled »? Do you mean it peeled off? If that’s the case then probably the bag surface was not adequately prepped and/or the coats were too thick perhaps with not enough dry time between coats...
BAGHAG DIGEST hi! Thank you for replying. The paint kept “running” and like separating. Not sure I’d Im expanding it but when I would add the dye it would not stick.
@@Stilletto77 I did a billfold and had one small part that did that? I have no idea how to fix. I used the acetone it didn’t help! Any suggestions?
I have this bag in maroon and I don’t like it anymore maybe this is an option. It won’t sell either because of the color
I think this would look great in maroon. Certainly better than the yellow I had. You’ll have better luck dyeing it black, since Maroon is already dark. Good luck whatever you choose to do!
@@SCENTGOURMAND funny thing it actually sold online last night 👍🏻👍🏻
@@yasminejasmine4368 Great!
So I use the resolene on the straps but the sheen on the vernis?
Yep, that’s about the size of it. :)
@@SCENTGOURMAND can I use the sheen on the handles or I shouldn’t?
@@livb6797 resolene or similar sealant on the vacchetta is best, I think
How much did you pay? I tried to find the other video and couldn't.
Hi there! I think I paid around 35000 yen? Check the description box for the URL to the reveal video I made on this bag. :)
Oh but most of all I love your ring.
Cheers - the one with the black stone? Both were actually pressies from dear old mum!
How is it holding up? With time pls do an update video.
Cheers! I gifted it to dear old mum, so I’m not 100% sure. I think it’s fine, but I also suspect she doesn’t use it very often, saving for special days. ;)
