It was used (and patented) by Louis Vuitton because its resistance to water makes it easy to clean. Unfortunately, when exposed to high heat or humidity, Vuittonite begins to deteriorate and peel away from the edges of the bag. Over time, it becomes increasingly sticky, forming a residue (which, in extreme cases, is black in color) that transfers to anything placed inside the bag. If your Vuittonite is starting to get sticky, try putting some talcum powder inside, lightly coating it.  It works!!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelouraaStyle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53685863776575,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/6050\/4383\/files\/image_7af43887-3594-4a51-9e10-ec19c5d8717f.jpg?v=1781620017","url":"https:\/\/velouraastyle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-chat-crossbody-vintage-monogram-in-tan","provider":"VelouraaStyle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
