That printer ink solution is totally clutch! I have an epi speedy in Toledo Blue and the old gal just got a face-lift! Seriously, such a difference, especially to the edges! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Hi! I just went on your page to watch more videos and was so sad to see you don't have any new ones! I just bought a vintage piece that I'm going to restore and your videos have been inspiring!
Amazing.... insightful video. Thank you. I just purchased a Noe Epi Black and am not reselling... but using her... thank you for the tips to spruce her up. I already took before pictures. Am also getting lobster claw snap hooks too. One thing to note is I have recent LV bags and the days of brass hardware are long gone. These vintage Noes are treasures.
I just took my ‘94 black epi noe into the store today to have them send it out to try to repair some glazing. They acted super hesitant and like they might not be able to re do it. This surprised me. I have some rubbing on the corners too and the said there’s nothing they can do about that. I was shocked about the lack of options for refurbishment and repair on the epi leather. They told me the empriente leather is the one they can “fix” and re glaze. I’ll remember that for my future purchases even tho I love epi so much! I also left a vintage cle in the same color way and hardware for a similar repair. Guess we will see what happens!
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Elijah Jerome thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
HI Hunter Driear .. I just came across your videos and I am so impressed and you gave me good ideas to restore my LV.. I would like to find you on your Facebook as you mentioned you do sell some LV as well, thank you again for all your great videos,
Hi Hunter, I was thinking of buying a used LV bag to restore, when you see the brass where it looks like part of the finish is missing rather than just tarnished do you still think it will shine up with Brasso?
Could you please do a video on how to remove water marks on my Epi leather navy indigo blue toiletry pouch or any other LV Epi leather handbags. Thank you 🙏
I’m thinking of buying a preloved blsck LV Alma Epi leather with som marks on the leather. Would you recommend using shoepolish/leather for black shoes?
Thank you Hunter for this awesome video. Can i get the name and model of the ink? Have you encountered stickiness in a side pocket on epi leather, like a side pocket on a Trocadero? How did you treat that?
Hello Hunter! How are you? I hope you're well. Just a quick question, do you recommend using leather conditioner on Epi leathers? I hope to hear from you. Thank you!
: if that bag is not in the leather's 'natural' color, then it has pigment in the leather or in this case the coating. it is impossible to say that the color you see on your formerly-white cloth is not they dye/pigment. that's exactly what it is and that's proof that whatever solvent you're using is too strong. just saying. : ]
So helpful thank you. I wanted to buy a black Epi but was hesitant because of the rubbed corners. I wonder if this black edge paint would be too shiny for it.
I don’t envy the person who ends up buying this bag - first time they get caught in the rain with the bag, they’re going to have blue printer ink all over their Burberry :).

Saddle soap is magic! Hunter is the best!
I’ve watched lots of videos for cleaning Epi leather and this is the most informative I’ve seem
Great info Hunter - you've inspired me to buy my first vintage LV bag and I'm looking forward to bringing it back to life.
Me too!
Hi, thanks for the super useful video. Do you know which leather dye product matches LV Borneo Green Epi?

He’s like a Louis Vuitton savant.
I would never have thought of it, Epson printer ink. Thank you!
You ROC! Have you restored a yellow Epi leather bag? If so what color did you use.... Thanks
How to clean inside the bag? Can you do another video for that?
Thank you for sharing. Can you show how to clean or let me know how to clean the zippers and the discoloration in EPI Alma leather? thank you.
Hi Hunter,
I was thinking of buying a used LV bag to restore, when you see the brass where it looks like part of the finish is missing rather than just tarnished do you still think it will shine up with Brasso?
Do you not need to set the printer ink? To stop it transferring?
Could you please do a video on how to remove water marks on my Epi leather navy indigo blue toiletry pouch or any other LV Epi leather handbags. Thank you 🙏
Hi hunter, do you recommend conditioning the epi leather before and after cleaning? And if so, what kind?
Have you found a good match for the red leather?
I’m thinking of buying a preloved blsck LV Alma Epi leather with som marks on the leather. Would you recommend using shoepolish/leather for black shoes?
How do you fix peeling of the epi leather? My bag is orange
Will the saddle soap fix rubbing on epi handles?
Just received a pristine epi in yellow noe - I want to condition it but what product should I use?
I absolutely adore your videos! I wish you many successes!!
What can I use to retouch worn corners on red epi purse?
Hello Dear. Great video ! How do you fox scratches on epi leather ? Thank you
Thank you Hunter for this awesome video. Can i get the name and model of the ink?
Have you encountered stickiness in a side pocket on epi leather, like a side pocket on a Trocadero? How did you treat that?
Please keep the videos coming!
Hello! Thank you so much for this video. What do you recommend for refurbishing the red color on that noe?
How do you get the wrinkles out of the epi leather?
What red dye do you use for the LV epi red?
yea I would like to know as well :T
Thank you for the video, do you have a red epi dye recommendation?
Thank you Hunter, very informative.
Great Video! But I have a question: Why do you use the babywipes and not water? Have the wipes good ingredients? Just asking :) Thank you !
Such a cute bag! Is it true that a sticky bag can't be fixed? Thank you,
I have a vintage Epi Trocadero in Kenyan Fawn with corner rubs that I'd like to fix...how can I find a match for the color??
Hunter. Can you recommend what to use on a green epi?
Excellent video. Very innovative!
What brand dye do you recommend for the Epi red color?
I have the same question!
How do you get rid of the yellowness of the damier azure canvas?
Hi.. do i need to condition before and after aswell?
Loved your video! I will definitely be joining your group!
Erica Garcia thank you! I will be so glad to have you as a member in my group.
Is there a video for cleaning the Vernis leather as well? 👍🏼❤️
Hi, great video what would you use on the black epi leather?
Hello Hunter!
How are you? I hope you're well.
Just a quick question, do you recommend using leather conditioner on Epi leathers?
I hope to hear from you. Thank you!
Yes, it helps keep it supple
@@hunterdriear4405 Thank you for responding!!!
AMAZING! 🙏 Thank you so much
Any suggestions on what to use for a green epi bag like this?
: if that bag is not in the leather's 'natural' color, then it has pigment in the leather or in this case the coating. it is impossible to say that the color you see on your formerly-white cloth is not they dye/pigment. that's exactly what it is and that's proof that whatever solvent you're using is too strong. just saying.

I just bought a epi blue leather document bag and I would like some advice how to restore it
There is an epi green noe I'm watching on ebay and I was worried about the wear... do you know what to use to match the green epi?
Thank you for this video
Can you use this on the canvas - the saddle soap?
So helpful thank you. I wanted to buy a black Epi but was hesitant because of the rubbed corners. I wonder if this black edge paint would be too shiny for it.
KailsKamiKy Williams the edge dye will be too shiny but the same company makes just plain black dye that works perfectly.
I looked up Kiwi Saddle soap on Amazon $30-$50 that’s a lot so the price you say it sold for guess where I found it Walmart Thank god
I think this video caused a surge and the price went up
I have a wrinkle on my epi that is obvious, can I use the ink? TIA
You sure can, not sure how much that will help. I really love epi but when it creases that can be hard to hide.
I can't find your FB group
I don’t envy the person who ends up buying this bag - first time they get caught in the rain with the bag, they’re going to have blue printer ink all over their Burberry :).
Yes gurrrl. Work it!!
