KDC, thanks for chiming in here. Do you mind taking us through what you do to condition your bags? I'm always lost as to which product to use first!

Hi ladies,
I got some oroton spray and waproo today.
The oroton was only enough for my violet day, and 3/4 of my BG city. Am I using too much? Hmmm...
I gave all my bbags the spa treatment this morning, well, only the handles. Two coats of LMB for handles only, a good buffing, and then when I got home from shopping I sprayed my violet day and BG city. Can I just say, the SMELL is killing me!!
I also moisturised the heck out of my giant traveler with apple conditioner, because I just wasn't liking how dry it looked, and didn't want the hassle of returning to NM. It looks better already!
Thanks KDC!
I might try the oroton creme on my mogano city if I'm feeling brave enough. I tried the LMB moisturiser on the bottom of the mogano city and didn't really like how it took away the shine AND made the leather really smooth. I like the distressed look, and now the bottom looks like.. really blah smooth leather with no character . I just feel that this particular bag, whilst I love how broken in it is already, needs a little moisturising because it's a little too crackly on the front. I'm just really disappointed abt the LMB effect on the bottom!
On the other hand, my Ink and Grey bbags from 06 never needed any moisturising.
Are you making your leather products for yourself or for sale?
Did you try buffing up the leather after applyng LMB moisturiser?
My 07 rouille is dry, the 07 steel is fine though. I put a very gentle beeswax leather care product on the rouille and it worked well, except that it took away some of the shine. But then I'm noticing that the shine tends to wear off anyway. I managed to get a bit of shine back with polishing but it does look different from before. But the leather feels much better now.
Drati...what product did you use??? No product should remove colour or shine from your bag!
