Default Gucci Leather Suki - need advice on care
Hi, I was in Nordie's last night and fell in love with a Gucci Leather Suki. It's this gorgeous brown and I bought it on the spot. Usually shop sales but my justification is I'm going to take it on a work trip today . So my question is do I need to treat the leather with anything before I take it? Will post pictures later this a.m..

TIA!

P.S. It's my first Suki! My husband was with me and said - is that your 7th bag this month? (It's actually my 4th - the other 3 were on sale- and yes I've lost my mind due to TPF!)

Don't spray normal leather - (only suede or nubuck) as it will dry it out in the long run. You could carry a plastic bag inside in case really pours with rain. With a bi-annual clean and polish it stay fabulous for years and years.

Please share pics when you can! I just bought the large in black. I took pics when it arrived but haven't uploaded them yet. Modeling pics will have to wait until this weekend when I travel with it.

Believe it or not I condition my leather capri with the conditioner that I got for my leather sofa and love seat once or twice a year and it keeps it very soft and keeps it from drying out. Not that I'm recommending it but it works for me.
