ok my eyes are falling out of my head ,,:weird: after reading 15 pages of posts!!!
i love all the info but i am confused...
i have a new camel lily,,,i know that she will darken over time and scratch easily,,should i use any apple on her or just let her be??
if i can use apple,,which one?? the conditioner i am guessing and not the cleaner?
help please!!
does anyone have a camel and left it alone to its own devices??
thanks guys!!
Camel, like most light bags in color is subject to color rub EVEN AFTER treated. Older 06-07 Legacy bags seem to be more prone to this than others, and prevention is great but don't expect perfection from the elements when it comes to them.
Scratches are more evident on the camel, gardenia, walnut and colored old legacy bags similar to your Gigi. They will come, and most are "softened" but not totally removed by conditioning with apple.
Cleaner should be USED WITH CAUTION on ANY bag, as it can and COULD remove color. Use it on a small unseen portion of the bag before applying liberally all over. I have found it DOES remove color on suede, but I used it in small amounts and the color difference for me is minimal compared to the stain I was removing.
Blue Jeans tend to be the biggest enemy of these bags, as I have an Ivory thompson that I wore and it rubbed against my jeans. I had apple conditioned it and also 2x apple rain guarded it and it STILL happened, but the rub was perhaps less in intensity than it could have been, and the spot is noticeable to me on the back, but was minimized by some more conditioning to remove the color gently. Not perfect, but not as bad as an eyesight as it could have been.
 
i just got my first leather carly. do i need to apple that before using it. the sa who was helping me suggested it, but i forgot all about it and the sa at the register didn't mention it. if so do i need the moisturizer or cleaner? and i'm no where near any outlet or boutique so i was thinking of ordering from coach.com or should i get it from leatherstuff.com? whats the difference in their stuff?
 
thanks! i was reading the other threads on this and was really surprised that coach would sell something that eventually would ruin their leather bags...odd...

i'll be ordering the applecare from leatherstuff.
 
I was just wondering if you have had luck appling your Sabrinas? I have never used apple and I was wondering how it works. Is it hard to use? Do you use both the cleaner and conditioner? The stain repellant? Are there other steps? Can you use it on all of the leather bags? And lastly...I know there is a website where everyone orders it...are there any coupon codes out right now? Thank you for any info!!!!

P.S. Sorry for so many questions. I am just obsessive compulsive about my bags and would just die if I ruined one of them on accident!!! :crybaby:

I "appled my berry sabrina the second I took the tags off. I live in a very dry area of the country so moisturizing my bags is a must. Very easy to use. I only use the leather care and not the cleanser or the water guard. Maybe someone else can chime in on those items. Anyhow, the berry leather looked remarkably better after I used the apple. I think she had been sitting in a dry warehouse! I def recommend using it on your sabrina. I used a white towel and had no color transfer at all. Hope this helps!
 
**WARNING**I used the apple cleaner on a small spot of my MAGENTA Sabrina and when I looked at the cloth...there was pink dye on it! Luckily it was only a little bit so I can't even tell that dye rubbed off.
