Gardé Rain and Stain Repellent is an Apple product and it does exactly what its name says, it guards leather from rain or any liquid. It is an oil based spray that soaks into the leather without leaving a residue and makes water bead off your bags. It even protects cloth bags from salt stains. Magic in a can! I know that there are TPFers that don't recommend it for certain bags, but I have used both Apple products even on my exotics and I swear by them!

I feel pebbled leather is the easiest to take care of (almost like don't need to care about it at all) since they are fairly thick. The smooth leather are a bit harder, followed by croc/textured/metallic. Patent ones depends.

Thank you!

I have heard that leather conditioner is not recommended for some pebbled leathers because it can smooth out the pebbling. I think it might depend on how hard/soft the leather is, but I am not sure.

Hmmmm....this is what I feared....that the "pebbling" would turn smooth....

I feel like a slouch for not using any special products to care for my bags. Nonetheless, my bags are surviving quite well, especially my Hamptons flap in walnut. The pebbled leather is so sturdy, that I consider that bag my workhorse: no problems with it yet, and I've been using her for many months now!

I have a mmf Hamptons hobo in pebbled leather (white with black trim) and it looks as good as the day I bought it (minus the bite mark in the hang tag thanks to my son who was almost 3 at the time). I have not treated it and I don't baby my bags at all. This was the bag that was covered (and I mean covered in lipstick, again thanks to my darling son) It clean up perfectly with dish soap and a rag, not a trace of lipstick in any of the pebbles or stiches. I was kind of worried while I was scrubbing it that the leather would lose it pebbles but it didn't at all. Pebbled leather is great and very durable.

I have two pebbled leather bags and don't do a thing to them. They are incredibly tough.

Thanks!!!! This is such GREAT news and I am so glad I asked this question!!!! What color are your pebbled bags? I was a bit concerned because of the sand color being so light, but then we heard the lipstick story which was GREAT for me to hear being that I am sooooo OCD with my bags and I felt MUCH better!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad you enjoyed my story, when my little guy lipsticked my purse it was very new and my very first Coach. I herd my husband say "Quinn your mom is not going to be to happy with you...". I was like Ok what has he done now (he is my energetic one of the bunch, and tends to get into a lot of things he shouldn't) when I saw it I almost died! my son said "Mommmmmy, your purse was just boring, I fix it for you...". In my head I was thinking I was going to kill him, so I calmly told him (while talking in that Mom talk by not breathing or moving my mouth) that he had to leave my sight NOW. I started cleaning it and all was forgotten and forgiven. I was sure that the bag was a right off because of the pebbles and the cheap lipstick artwork that was all over 85-90% of the purse (did I mention it was COVERED!!!). But with very little effort on my part it was as good as new!
As for the dish soap it could of been anything, I have no brand loyalty when it comes to dish soap, whatever is on sale works for me. It could of been Dawn, Palmolive or some lemon store brand, I tend to get around when it comes to grease fighting action.
As far as posting a picture of it, give me a couple of days, I have to find my camera (we are doing renos in our house and everything is upside down at my house).

I always suggest a cleaning dish soap minus any "Oxy" agent as it can take more of the dye out of the leather.
