... leather care products that cannot be used on their finest leather bags?!
I have a vintage leather Ergo, and a legacy leather Bridgit, and a garcia leather embellished Sophia. The care cards for all three of these bags talk about how great and special the leather is and then warn against using any Coach leather care products!
I'm almost certain that they also warn against using their products on the embossed croc bags, metallic leather bags, and some of their other bags, too.
This is not a problem for me because I don't own any Coach leather care products and I use silicone-free products like Apple conditioner. I do have a bottle of Coach jacquard fabric cleaner and I have found that it works well in cleaning fabric bags.
But I have to wonder why in the world do they even bother selling products that aren't good for so many of their bags? Including some of their premier leather products!
This isn't just odd, it is inconvenient and even risky. Every single time I've questioned a SA at the outlet about a blemish or stray mark on a bag he/she immediately grabs for the Coach leather conditioner and prepares to slather it all over the bag! I always stop them and insist that they check the care card first and in most cases the card says NOT to use coach products!
The SAs always say the same thing "Oh that doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt anything!" At that point, if I really want to buy the bag, I take it out of their hands and say "That's okay, I'll take care of it, I have some leather care products at home."
But I've got to wonder why Coach doesn't sell a more universal, silicone-free and wax-free product that will work for most of their bags?
It's a puzzle! :wondering
