DANIER Leather Defense Spray - AWESOME Product!

There are a million threads dedicated to treating bags. I thought I'd add my 2 cents!

I bought LovinMyBags products but never used them because the smell was really off-putting to me. I wanted to spray my bag with just a protectant in case I got caught in any of our unpredictable Canadian weather. The price to ship AG products to Canada was ridiculous and there was none on eBay (ha ha). So I decided to try Danier Leather Defense Spray which is said to be safe on all their leather and suede jackets and bags. Danier uses quite a veriety of skins (cow, lamb etc) and since Bal is Goat/Lamb, I thought I'd give it a try.

It's a clear spray and it dries quickly to touch, but you then leave it for 6 to 8 hours to fully absorb/dry. It has a chemical smell, however after you've left it to dry for even a few hours, there is absolutely NO residual smell whatsoever. There was NO change to the leather's colour or texture either, it was like I hadn't treated the bag at all. I'm so happy with this product, I wanted to share the experience with everyone!

I was going to do before/after pics, but there was no point because there was no change at all. I sprayed an Ink and a French Blue coloured bag. My bag and wallet still have that Bal leather smell!!

Mods; feel free to move this to Care & Maintenance whenever appropriate, I just wanted to share in the main forum!

Thanks for your post. I was just about to order Apple leather care online since that is what everyone seems to be using on their Bbags... but I too, am from Toronto and have the Danier Defense Spray at home... So I guess it will be safe to spray it on my motorcycle?

But one thing though.. this spray is about 3 years old I think.. lol. Do you think I should still be able to use it and not go paranoid about ruining my bag?

One more question, I also have the Renewal Lotion from Danier. Have you used that as well on the bag?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi misshel! No, the only product from Danier I've tried is the defense spray. Mine isn't brand new either, I think it's about 2 years old. It was stored in a cool closet though, so it should be ok. I would imagine yours should be too, but it's pretty cheap so if you're uncomfortable using it, I think a new bottle is only 10 bucks or something.

I'm so happy with the results, it doesn't look, feel or smell treated!
