I used the Apple Conditioner and Guard on my LV's and colored Guccissima.
Its pretty good. Cheap TOO!!

I use mink oil in the tub, on dark leather and it leaves it soft and supple. It also waterproofs them too. I get mine from a shoe store. Great stuff!! A little goes a long way.

I prefer Apple leather care conditioner for sprucing up the leather and Vectra spray for waterproofing and keep from spotting.
I actually heard about Vectra from a Chanel SA, she recommends using it on lambskin.

Apple or Cadillac

I live in Ireland and have never heard of most of the products mentioned here. I use Woly products. They make a leather protector and a Wax and Shine spray. But from what I'm reading here, I shouldn't be using the latter!

Conditioners are generally at best harmless or at worst something that could damage the finish on the leather. Protect your leather from new with a good water based leather protector and then clean little and often with a water based foam cleaner or maintenance prodcut and your leather will remain clean and in good condition for a long time. A protector will also inhibit dye transfer from clothing and will make ink and stains easier to clean off. Hope this helps

Hi LeatherPro, yes...what is a good water-based leather conditioner/ water protector?

Have had my Tivoli GM for 2 months now. I hope it's not too late to protect.

Lovinmybags products are great for pre-treating and conditioning. If you go to the website you can see the recommendations for particular brands.

For protection against water Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellent is the best! Check this thread for Matt's tests on a variety of the products discussed in this thread! Thank you Matt!

I also use Appl leather conditioner.

I have a white leather purse that I love! It is dried out I believe lots of little cracks that reminds me of a spiderweb almost. I don't know where to start to revive this bag. Please help :(

I use Wilson's protector spray & wipes & Wilson's conditioner on my RM & Treesje bags. Usually I put a small amount to test on an area of the bag which is less noticeable to see if it bleeds alot or changes in color before applying to the entire bag. And it depends on the type of leather in terms of what brands you use on the bag.

I LOVE using Brahmin's Leather Protector!!

It is fairly priced and lasts forever! And it's wonderful to use on all types of leather!

I like the Apple products. LMB is good too, but it has a strong scent.

I like the way it (LMB) smells though, lol, and when combined with leather, I love the scent.
