My first Bulga. OMG the leather.

I protect mine with Wilson's leather spray. But I haven't had mine long (I recently ordered both the medium studded tote and the frame flap bag), so I cannot tell you how well they wear. I adore mine. The leather is luxuriously soft and they smell so good!
I just received my first Bulga bag also. I was lucky enough to score the Pudding Large Flap Tote in Amore. I have never had a bag with leather like this and it isn't my most expensive bag. It shows the tiniest scratches but they seem to "wear off" quickly. I only carried it for a few days because it seems to need some kind of leather protectant and I haven't had time to go out and buy any. Congrats on your purchase! I think I'll be buying more from this brand/designer.
i've heard that lovinmybags cleaner/moisturizer is good for bulga's leather. i just ordered a set from that company for a pudding flap i just bought and am too afraid to use. I'm waiting for it to come so I can polish up my bulga. i'll let you know how it turns out...

Congrats!! I just got my first Bulga too and I loooove the leather. I'm not gentle with my purses, nor do I use any type of protectant, but it's been a week and there aren't any scratches or anything on mine! (It's dark brown though, so maybe it's hard to tell?) You'll love your purse!!
Congrats on your new Bulga. I got myself an Oyster colored one last summer (an Ivory shade) and the wear did start to show up pretty quickly - esp on the backside where the bag rubbed up against me as I carried it. For that reason, I don't carry it that often - I just pull it out every so often & use it a couple of time then put away & use it later.
I bought my daughter a Sage Green bag when they first came out (the spring that Jessica Simpson made the bags so popular) - While her bag shows more dirt (she is a teenager after all, and doesn't really treat her bags!) than mine does, the leather doesn't seem to show much wear. In fact, her bag has gotten a little bit of shine to it and isn't as "dull" or "raw" as it was when I first purchased it. Does anyone else find this to be true of older Bulga bags? I just wonder if I should expect my Oyster bag to do the same or if the leather is a little different than what was first used.

Congratulations, bag sounds wonderful, any pics?
