How do you care for your MJ bags?
Hi ladies
i'm just wondering how you all care for marc jacobs bags. Do you use a leather conditioner or spray? I want to keep my venetia in good condition...and am careful with her, but i don't know whether or not i should use a leather cond/or spray. I don't accidently want to ruin it! I'd love to hear what your advice is. Thanks |

Re: How do you care for your MJ bags?
MJ leather is very durable, I don't think you need to treat the leather with anything to protect it. Maybe some rain repellant spray wouldn't hurt if you live in an area with rain. I clean/condition the bag as needed; I've used Apple Guarde and Cole Haan products without any problems. Alcohol free baby wipes are probably the most gentle product you can use to keep it clean regularly.

Re: How do you care for your MJ bags?
I clean and moisturize my venetia during the dry, hot months (I live in Arizona, so this is a pretty long time), but I barely have to do any maintenance any other time of the year.

Re: How do you care for your MJ bags?
I agree that the leather doesn't need to be treated often. I generally condition them about once a year with Coach moisturizer or Apple lotion. If the nickel/silver hardware tarnishes, then I polish with a soft cloth, or a silver cleaning cloth if necessary.

Re: How do you care for your MJ bags?
Here is the website for the products. Maybe you can find somewhere close that carries it? If not, you can always order online (like me!)

Re: How do you care for your MJ bags?
ROFL... I WISH there was a burlington near me. But since I've got plenty of Apple(thanks to you!
 ), I guess I don't need to go for a while! You'd be surprised what's hiding up in this little ol' noggin of mine. |
