I have one and have not used it yet because I'm not sure how I should treat it to make sure it doesn't darken from me holding it in my hand. Should I use For Handles Only on the whole outer part of it or what? HELP...I really want to use it but want to make sure it stays a pretty as possible. Here is a pic so you know what bag I am referring to.DSC02225.JPG

I know but if I carry it by hand it might darken the leather, right? I was wondering if I should treat the outside so it stays the color it is and not darken in spots where my hand touchs it. I don't want to treat anything if I don't have to but I don't want there to be a darkened hand print on it in 2 years.

I recently got a rouge vif coin purse and I sprayed the heck out of that little cutey with Apple Garde since I was also afraid that it'll start turning black on me.

I have an Ink Oval Clutch, and I have treated the ridged top AND the bottom with For Handles Only because I hold it both ways. There's some area in the middle of the bag that I haven't treated because I don't grab it there.

I'm resigned to it darkening in some areas at some point, so I'm not going to sweat it too much...when it happens I'll try (powderpuff's?) advice to blot dirt and oil with an Oil of Olay face wipe.

MRG, that clutch is awesome. The color is so vibrant and it's perfect for an accessory! I would suggest using apple guard to prevent darkening which I have used on my calcaire bag with success.

^^^ I've read in some other threads that the AG spray really stinks. How long does the stink stay on the bag? Or does it smell ok once it dries?

By the way, has anyone used the non-aerosol spray version? verdict? TIA!

Yup, use Apple Garde spray! I have both the aerosol and the atomizer versions and I find that both work equally well. The aerosol version needs to be used in a well ventilated area. I mean, talk about a major HIGH (not that I do any of that kind of stuff...). The smell goes away once the treatment dries. It's been a bit rainy in the Wash DC area, and my Sapin Twiggy got a few drops of rain on her while commuting. No damage whatsoever on her, thanks to Apple Garde!
