Hi Everyone! I have heard a lot of people using Apple garde rain and stain repellent spray and Shining monkey on their Vachetta Leather. Today I just got my new Monogram Metis and I wanted to protect the Vachetta leather strap from the rain as it rain some time in Hawaii. I was impressed with the result. It dry very quickly and it does not changed the color at all so I think I would love to share you guys for another option
