Over the last few years, I’ve always wanted to get myself a Louis Vuitton wallet. I’ve always had a relatively cheap Michael Kors wallet that completely tore itself apart after many, many years of wear & tear. Finally, I got myself a men’s Louis Vuitton Multiple wallet in the Monogram Eclipse canvas about 2 months ago.

I’m loving the wallet with its superior quality and design; and, of course, the LV name - it really does make people look when I pull my wallet out to pay at counters. I only have one small, but important, concern that I’m hoping someone can enlighten me in.

Although the wallet is still in its new prestige condition, I think it may need a good cleaning as the wallet (black in color) looks as its a bid faded. Mind you, I’m pretty new to the luxury brand, so I’m not sure if this is something that’s relatively normal or if I really just got this thing looking dirty this quick. Nevertheless, I want to try to clean the outer layer of the wallet (inside is mint) but I’m not sure what to use to ensure the wallet gets clean while also not damaging the material or ruining it in anyway - this is my biggest fear, which is why I haven’t attempted it yet.

I’ve tried researching online to see what is recommended to use, but I get mixed results. Some will say to use a damp microfiber cloth and use soap and water, while others will say to use a leather conditioner. I always thought on a brand like this that leather conditioners are a no-no.

What do I use here? I really don’t want to mess the wallet’s canvas material, color, or any of the other details that make it stand out. I’ve attached a photo of the wallet I’m referring to, although I’m not sure how well you’ll be able to see what I’m concerned about. Is it really as simple as using a small amount of soap and water on the Monogram Eclipse canvases? Any insight would be much appreciated!

How do you properly clean your Monogram Eclipse wallet without causing any damage?
