Do you protect (condition) your darker colored bags?

I just received my beautiful new Truffle City in the mail. I love it so much that I want to make sure it lasts me a loooong time... Do you ladies recommend that I use any products on it? Or is it already dark enough that it shouldn't really show signs of wear? Opinions please!

I would. Conditioner helps make the bag smoother, softer. Protector will help it repel dirt and water. JMO.

i should but i haven't done anything about it. for darker bags, i suppose we can use the Apple Guarde spray to 'waterproof' it.

I agree. I use Apple conditioner on my bags to make sure the leather stays soft.

I saw some eBay listings said either the leather has never been treated, or the leather has been sprayed with Apple Guarde. I am always wondering will its value be affected if doing either way?
