LV NEVERFULL IN EMPREINTE LEATHER | 1-Year Wear & Tear Update *PART 1*

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I forgot to mention pricing! I purchased this bag in March 2021 for $2,260 USD. As of March 2022, it now retails for $2,710 USD. Thanks for watching and comment below 👇 if this update was helpful, or you’ve experienced different wear with your Neverfull.

[@ohheyamandarenee]

did you use any spray to protect the leather? such as carbon pro or apple guard?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

@@ohheyamandarenee no I haven’t used any products on the leather.

[@maryr9257]

Was that the total cost or plus taxes?

[@kawenthebear]

I love the way you speak and articulate!! Looking forward to watching more of your future videos!!!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much! 🥰 You are so sweet and kind! I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos … new one coming this week!

[@justalittleluxe7513]

Great video and great review. I love the LV empreinte leather. I think it’s so durable and useable. I have the pochette Metis in the same colour as this and it’s been 6 months and I also have no wear and tear. A very underrated leather in my opinion.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thank you! 🤗 Yes it’s very underrated! Love the Pochette Metis in that leather - such a beautiful bag.

[@agentbagreviews]

You’re such a sweet supporter of mine and I’m happy to subscribe to your channel! My bestie is a fan of the turtle dove color. I will show her this video. It’s a beautiful bag ♥️

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much!! You are so kind! 🤗 I love this color too - it’s such a versatile neutral. I hope your friend likes the video!

[@mamaluxebuysx2311]

hi! I did notice slight yellowing where you mentioned bring in to an LV store and they will replace for you or give you store credit for another piece, I work in LV repairs :)

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much for commenting! I will definitely look into my options! When I look in person I can hardly see it, but it’s noticeable looking at the video. 😕

[@nw3228]

Really?! I just noticed my whole back is yellow except the handles and trim.

[@nw3228]

I am experiencing the entire bag yellowed.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Oh nooo! Definitely contact LV Repairs Services! I did that for my original Neverfull and was able to exchange it for a new bag.

[@AnnaKim-e8p]

Hello are you still using this? Any further yellowing? I’m considering getting it but scared about yellowing plus it’s got no zip. But I absolutely love the colour. 😂

[@LulaWestLuxe]

The bag yellowed at the seams and I sent it to LV Repair Services. They couldn’t fix the bag so I was given a completely new bag. I chose the empreinte Neverfull in black instead, which I still have. I heard that LV fixed the issue that caused yellowing, so if you purchase it new, I think it won’t happen! I would not buy this bag pre-loved.

[@bree2turn214]

Thank you. Your video was great. I enjoyed your attention to detail. I will be subscribing to your channel especially to see if you will be doing a what's in my bag video. Not to be nosey but to see how items fit. I haven't seen very many what's in bag videos on the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Empreinte leather handbags. I just purchased one in the Noir/Black and I am excited. Thanks!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I’m so glad you found my channel! 🤗 Congrats on your new Neverfull. It’s so beautiful in the noir/creme colorway. 💕

[@Jploveslv]

I love this bag. I have it in turtledove and black. I wanted the cream but was too afraid of color transfer. This color is beautiful 😍 I'm coming back to edit this because I just remembered that I had 2 different issues with this bag. The first one I got had a circle type of thing on the bag that took a few months to appear. I later found out that it was probably an inventory tag. The second problem was that the pouch turned yellow. I was told it was probably from the glue.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Sorry to hear that happened to you too! Unfortunately the yellowing was a major problem with that bag. 😔 After this video I ended up sending my bag to Repair Services and they let me exchange it for a new one. I went for the black one instead.

[@archanarajansingh]

This is a great bag. I have it in the noir from the wild at heart collection. I can’t use it without an organiser though as it sags on the bottom if I don’t have one in the bag. I didn’t know about the yellowing … hmm.. glad I got a darker colour.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Yes! 🙌 Love the wild at heart collection! Thanks for watching dear ❤️

[@felicecinque]

First thing - take the tissue out of your canvas bag, it will aid in dehydrating the material. Use a pillow or towel. Your leather bag does have some yellowing which is oxidation from the elements. Remedies for a leather turned yellow is to make a solution by mixing lukewarm water in a few drops of Castile or liquid dish soap and some vinegar. Use a clean cotton cloth to clean.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks for the tips! I have since bought pillows and use those instead. Fortunately, LV offered an exchange for the tote since the yellowing was a defect on their end.

[@stargazer5271]

Thank you for making this video. I think the corner of your bag has a slight yellow to it. Mine is yellow as well

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Thanks so much for watching! 🤗 So you see the yellow too! Hopefully it does not get any worse, it’s still very hard to see now. Sorry to hear you have the same issue. 😢

[@yazlindayazid3336]

@@LulaWestLuxe Does this happen only on the Nervefull? I plan to get the Pochette Metis in the same color

[@LulaWestLuxe]

@@yazlindayazid3336 I’m not completely sure. I’ve only personally heard of this happening with the Neverfull. The pochette metis in enpreinte leather is a beautiful bag! 🤎

[@JP-kl1mj]

I bought mine in December and so far only the pouch is turning yellow.

[@EAB2613]

Mine went yellow too after a couple of light uses and living in the dust bag. Very disappointing!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I heard after I publishing this video that the yellowing was due to glue leaking. If you haven’t exchanged it yet, definitely contact LV Repair Services and they should let you exchange for a new one!

[@noti3093]

did you yours replaced?

[@hlane1694]

Are you still enjoying this bag? Do you know if they fixed the yellowing?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I ended up contacting Repair Services and since they were unable to fix it I was offered a new bag. I ended up going for the black version for my replacement. If you’re looking to buy a new one I *think* they’ve resolved this issue, but I would not buy one preloved.

[@hlane1694]

[@sharlenegalecabaro3832]

Lucky you. This is my dream bag too. But remembering my first purchase , my second purchase and my third purchase wasn’t really exciting but upsetting . But still I love LV bags

[@LulaWestLuxe]

It’s a gorgeous bag! ❤️ Sometimes it’s good to take a little break from lux purchases if the excitement isn’t there.

Hey Lula ! 👋👋 watching !!

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Yay!! Enjoy 🤗

I love the turtledove color

[@tawnyamiller2796]

My 2nd one is yellowing. My first one started yellowing and was replaced. Now my second one is yellowing.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Oh noooo!!! 😳 I thought LV had fixed that issue! Is your second one a recent purchase?

[@michaelakavanagh8061]

Can I ask, have you got an updated version of this video please? @LulaLV

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Hi! I have a “part 2” linked in the video description. Thats the only video update I’ve done. This bag was replaced by LV, so I don’t have the original bag anymore. If there’s something specific you’d like to know, I’m happy to answer. 😊

[@maikel1447]

@@LulaWestLuxe Hi, i have the Same Bag and mine turned fully yellowish 🥲 you Said it has been replaced but when i asked them for help they just said it is normal that leather changes. Did you contact them online or directly in a Store?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

@@maikel1447 oh no! Thats crazy!! They did not explicitly state to me whether the wear was normal or not, I just received a response stating that after reviewing my item a product exchange would be honored. I contacted repair services online.

[@Mommyingthis]

I’m sorry, I’m confused… how would people use this crossbody?

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I’m so sorry for the confusion … that was just me rambling on. 😆🤣 There’s absolutely no way to wear it crossbody.

I have this bag n 1 in black too. The pouch on the turtle dove is turning yellow and I've never used it. Love this bag regardless.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

I have rarely used my pouch either but mine seems to be fine. I actually have an appointment with repairs services this week to discuss my bag. I honestly can’t see the yellowing in person but it is visible in the video. I will be sure to post an update!!

[@JP-kl1mj]

@@LulaWestLuxe I actually ended having a bubble appear on the turtle dove bag one day. I panicked , went to the store and theu replaced it. They couldn't understand why it happened. It was a weird defect that just came out fir no apparent reason.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

@@JP-kl1mj that’s so weird! I’ve never heard of that happening on empreinte. At least the good part is you could get it replaced sooner. Did you go with the same color again?

[@beverlysarfo4400]

Mine is yellowing really bad

[@kimberlystewart8871]

@@beverlysarfo4400 When did you get yours? I was wondering if they have fixed the issue on the newer bags? I have the black Neverfull and just purchased the Cognac color and debated on the turtledove because of the yellowing I hear about. The price is great for what you get! I would love to have all three before the price increases.
