My 1997 Louis Vuitton Boulogne PM Looks Like a Different Bag Now... Was That a Good Thing?

One week ago I did an honest unbagging of my 1997 Louis Vuitton Boulogne PM. Today I'm answering the question everyone asks: hit, or miss? Honestly — it's a hard question to answer, because after caring for her, she barely feels like the same bag I unbagged. The vachetta leather was seriously dry and starting to crack. Caring for it properly meant the leather inevitably darkened — a lot. I also didn't dare reuse the original strap holes, since they were right at the edge of cracking further, so I ended up punching new ones instead. In this video: my full care routine, what actually fits inside her, how I'm styling her day to day, and my honest final verdict. No sponsored hype — just what actually happened when I tried to bring a 30-year-old bag back to life.
