Would you be able to recommend me a vachetta kit given the pictures attached of an LV bag?

I'm still exploring your e-store, but it's hard for me to assess which vachetta kit is best for me :) is the bag actually salvageable ?

A general look at these pictures is mainly aging, stains, discoloration, wear, scuff, and scratches.

Picture #1
This picture shows
* The aging of the Vachetta leather
* leather is worn from friction wear
* Scuff and Scratches

Picture #2
This picture shows
* Brown Stains
* Suede Side of the Vachetta Straps

Picture #3
* Brown Stains
* Scuffs
* Aging Appearance

Picture #4
* Drips Stains
* Discoloration

The appearance such as aging, brown stains, and discoloration will even out in appearance and is salvageable from a restorative cleaning and a Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction treatment.

Vachetta Pro-1.2, Acidifier-2.0, and Vachetta-28 work on appearances.

Hydrator-3.3 and Fatliquor-5.0 works on imparting suppleness to the leather. Vachetta leather is more fatliquor-thirsty than the other common chrome leather and stiff up and cracks more readily.

Protector-D works on sealing and healing scuffs to even out appearance.

This is the recommended kit sufficient to satisfy the desired result.
