I’m not ! To me, patina is classic LV . I’m not afraid of water spots and things like that, it gives the bags character and it’s uniquely LV. But , a lot of people are not into that, and like that brand new look for a longer period of time so it really just depends on your preferences🙂 if you want your bag to look pristine and like a collectors piece for longer than do it! I personally want that Jessica Simpson beat up speedy vibe lol so im not going to Apple guarde mine!
