Hmm crazy not one tidbit of help? I think maybe we are supposed to let are bags get trashed? Im scared to carry mine! You do have to set them down here and there or you probly should, but I wouldn't think of it unless its protected! I hope search is up soon.

Technically, few products are recommended here, since the Nappa leather can absorb them & get "heavy". But I have found if a spy Nappa bag gets dirty, a light touch of clear gel (Coach, lexol, etc. ) leather cleaner, wipe it off quick, works OK. Also if the leather gets really dry & hard, a small very light touch of Apple Leather Care (a conditioner). Use less rather than more...

Thank you for posting this. Mine is getting dry. I have been hesitant to carry it. I am also scared to put anything on it!

Apple conditioner is mentioned a lot in the balenciaga forum - you may find out more about it in there. But I think in general - it is advised not to try to treat the fendi leather with conditioning or cleaning - as you would with some other leathers... Prevention is best

I don't treat mine with anything. A lot of products out there have some sort of silicone in them which then suffocates the leather. Appleguard is great on Balenciaga and I use them only on my Balenciaga, NEVER on my FENDI's with one exception - if I need to remove a stain, I use a dab of the appleguard conditioner (not cleaner) on the leather in a light dabbing motion with soft cotton cloth. Never in a scrubbing motion since nappa is so much more delicate. Other than that, I avoid putting anything on them.
