Rain stains on my Botkier =(

soundjade · Jul 1st, 2008, 11:39 AM

so i got drenched in the pouring rain that happened sporadically on Sunday... I even used the umbrella I had to cover the bag instead of myself!

Anyway, I got some rain drops on my Sasha duffle (brown), but after letting it dry off I still see some stains ! Is there anything I can do to remove it?

I only have the Apple leather conditioner, will that work? is there a better leather cleaner / stain remover that anyone can suggest?

should I also invest in a rain/stain repellent and will they be safe on Botkier's leather? if so, which ones are good?

Thanks!

Try the Apple to see if it evens out the stains somewhat. To protect it in the fututre I highly recommend Wilson's TLC leather protector spray. It protects really well and has never changed the color or texture of my leather bags. Good luck!

I got rub off from my black sweater on my ivory bianca and I took it to my shoe guy and he was able to get off all the stains, which were a lot. I think he may have dyed it but it looks and feels the same.

I had water marks on my bordeaux Sasha. They rubbed out with Apple conditioner and then I sprayed water repellent to make sure it didn't happen again.
