I would try a small un-seen section first, let it dry and compare. If it's the thin Poppy leather it might not need a heavy application, but it also might just be a drier leather type too.

I just bought some the other day. It was in the back of the mens dept - a worker located it for me.
Hi Everyone,
I typically just lurk and admire everyone's beautiful bags! But had a question.. I have tried searching for it and just can't seem to find my answer. I just purchased the Madison Hippie in black leather (and I love her!!) and anyway the sales gal told me that I couldn't use anything on the leather. Do you ladies think I could Apple Condition her?? Or even use the spray?? I just want to make sure this bag is protected. If I used this on her, would it ruin the shine???:cry: TIA!

I never use anything on a new bag... They have a coating and will keep well..
Now when the leather gets dry or dirty I will Apple Condition it but alway run a test somewhere on the bag that does not show...
Look at the care card if it states wipe clean that is what I do.. Some leather does not do well with treatments..

I've used Apple on everything, including Madison leather, with no ill results. Always spot check first. Now this is for conditioner, NOT cleaner. I generally do not use leather "cleaners" regardless of brand because they tend to be harsh. I use the conditioner and rain and spray stain guard.
Actually the Apple conditioner has some cleaning benefits as well.

I'm with CA on this one. I follow what's on the card. I have over 60 bags & haven't had a problem yet.
Okay, anyone know what to do to treat a gold Hailey? On my regular leather bags I always use Apple conditioner and spray, and if it were regular metallic like the Peyton I'd just use the spray, but the metallic seems to be sealed into the leather - the bag is completely smooth. I'm afraid to wear her without some kind of protectant, just not sure whether to go with spray only or conditioner and spray.
TIA!
