Over time, the shoulder straps and wristbands of some LV monogram bags may discolor. This is primarily due to the characteristics of the vegetable-tanned leather used in the bags. Vegetable-tanned leather, due to its unique dyeing process and material properties, gradually exhibits a natural oxidation and discoloration effect over time. This change not only does not affect the overall aesthetics of the bag, but also, to some extent, highlights its blend of classic and modern charm.
Vegetable tanning is a process that uses tanning agents extracted from plants, which are then meticulously tanned by hand with the raw hide. The resulting vegetable-tanned leather not only has strong shaping ability and a smooth feel, but is also a preferred material for high-end leather goods. However, vegetable-tanned leather will oxidize and discolor upon contact with water and air, which is also part of its unique charm.
