Ok, so I'm at Target today picking up cleaning supplies...just had to get a couple of things so I didn't bother with a cart. I'm holding my Truffle Twiggy in the crook of my right arm and I picked up a container of Swiffer Wet floor cleaner and tucked it under the arm that's holding my bag. I suddenly feel something wet all over my side. 
The stupid container was leaking and before I could throw it down it had literally soaked one whole side of my bag and my shirt/jeans. I immediately ran for the paper towel section and ripped open a package and started trying to soak up as much of the fluid as I could before it set into the leather. Of course my bag was unzipped and the inside was soaked as well, along with the tassels. 
I'm in tears sitting on the floor trying to clean it up as much as I could and a very brave clerk comes over to see if I'm ok. All I managed to do was wail LOUDLY "Noooooo I'm not ok!!!! My bag is soaked and reeks of vinegar and chemicals and God knows whatever else is in that stuff!" This was her face: 
But she was very sweet and asked me if I had treated the leather. I remembered then that I had used LMB pretreatment/stain protectant on it last Feb, so I was praying it still had enough protection on it. Thankfully, by the time I got to the checkout counter not even 10 minutes later the leather was dry AND no stain!! 
It does feel a little stiff but I think the LMB Ultimate moisturizer will fix that. The inside is still damp and I'm going to try and hand wash it and let it air dry. I guess the BBag Goddesses were looking after me today. 
And thank God for LMB!
