LV uses vegetable dyed leather that is sort of a creamy color when brand new. As it ages, it turns a golden brown. This is what patina means.
There is a difference between patina and dirty though. Like sometimes you'll see speedy handles with black finger marks on them. That's dirt and oil that has penetrated the leather.
