You are absolutley MAD - in such a grand way and we're loving it!
How about forwarding your "test results" to Mulberry - I think they will not only be flabbergasted - but THRILLED!

I think thats a really good idea,I might get a free tin of Collonil as I have used mine up now!!
I just hope lots of new girls to Mulberry see this and gain someting from it,its always heartbreaking to hear someone has had an accident and has had their bag watermarked by the rain and it won't come out and its ruined their lovely new purchase.All that happens with the Collonil is a slight richening of the color,rather that than watermarks,or the leather starting to crack or change texture.

I have to add that I have only tested on darwin/natural leather so far apart from the YSL which is a finer leather,but its not a Mulberry and glove leather etc could respond quite differently(see thread for pics)

Hahaha!! Actually I'm quite a boring fart!! Thats why I end up doing slightly anoracky things like this!!!! I used a tin up over 5 bags and a pair of Sophies shoes,(see the problems with collonil thread I've put loads of bits and bobs of photos on there you might find useful),but I did use tons on each bag just to make sure........especially the Elgin!!!!

And I do love a good banter when anyone takes me on!!Its always in fun from my end,and in that way it sometimes gets a bit outrageous!! But never any harm intended I have to say!!!xxxxxxxx

Bloomin heck! That stuff is amazing.

rachiem · Nov 15th, 2007, 11:57 AM

Thanks Chaz. That's basically what I used on my 5 bags!! Will go out in winter with confidence!!

Now the question i want answered is how long does the protection last after one application ! How often should I spray my bags???

sarajane · Nov 15th, 2007, 12:31 PM

I give my Phoebe and Alana a spray every couple of weeks, if I remember.

I really would'nt like to say right now,as I've only recently done them,about a week ago? From what I did to the Elgin I would guess a month or so,but on the back where it rubs against me it may become vulnerable again,but I will do running tests as I want to know myself,with two bags that nearly come to a grand,I do want to see what works,at that price I want them to be around a damn sight longer!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So sorry to say but I left an email at Mulberry.com giving them the link to this thread. :| not sure if I did that without asking Chaz' permission first...

Chaz - love your scintific spirit! (And your guts...) I have been on the fence about spraying my bags, but this is very convincing - will go get Collonil asap. Wonder if it works on glacé leather? The heat treated glossy finish of the glace bags is nearly water resistant already - hmmm...

Oooo, I've not tested a patent or glace,so I can't tell you what the results or if there are any color changes etc,may be best to get some advice off Mulberry first,I would'nt want you to spoil your lovely bag!!! BUT if you are brave enough to have a go,let us know how it turns out!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
