Hey ladies!

Last week I received a persimmon Mini Speedy (with long strap) - and I absolutely love her! I've read through almost this whole thread to figure out what is my best course of action for protecting her. I am thinking I will try the Wilson's TLC leather protectant spray, as that seems to be pretty popular. My main concern for this bag is denim transfer, as I have recently had this problem with my grey Treesje Marley. Will Wilson's protect this from happening? Also, is one coat all you need to apply? Thank you all so much, and I'm sorry if this is a repeat question! I was up late last night scouring this thread for information, and I may have missed something.

Only being careful prevents denim transfer. The spray protectors will make it easier to wash off, but some staining can remain. Is your grey Treesje a naked leather ? You might try a plain white pencil eraser on the marks. (and don't wear new dark denim)
One good coat, with a second on the back, bottom, handles, and around pockets (wear areas ) is what I do.
I'm sorry you had to scour the thread, keyword searches work pretty well if you try a few different ones, your color name or in this case, spray, and wilsons. Sometimes I can help steer you to a particular post. Your color is new, so we don't have a lot of particulars yet.
*note: you'll want to keep that pretty color from fading, so be diligent with the dustbag when not in use, OK.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Stormy Heart for starting this thread and for all of the helpful info. you've given out as well as to others who gave tips or asked questions. :smile1: I just bought the LeatherMagic kits and can't wait to spray my new LPs and try it on other leather goods we have at home. I've been looking for a good cleaner/protectant/conditioner for our new couch too (my 7yr old niece pee'd on it the first time she came over...we had it for no more than 2 weeks...she just HAD to take a nap and just HAD to pee in her sleep this time! :nuts: Good thing she had a beach towel under her that she was using as a blanket! LOL) This looks PERFECT for that! Thank you again very, very much!!! Loved reading the entire thread... had to make sure I didn't miss anything. LOL

Brand new to LP, and I just read this entire thread-thanks for all of the great tips! (I did not see any info on the Lola-apologies if this has been covered!)

Are all LP leathers washed? Is the Lola leather washed?

I just received the Lola satchel in bittersweet (dark brown), and I adore the leather. I want to make sure I protect it properly. Since it's new (and dark), are a few coats of protective spray good enough?

Thanks in advance!

OMG! STORMY HELP!!! I sprayed my black dylan tote but then realized I used the Conditioner spray http://leathermagicpro.com/Pages/NuBulthrconditioner.htm instead of the "Fabric Guard!" :nuts: http://leathermagicpro.com/Pages/FABGRD.HTM

I did a very light spray and worked it in with my clean hands like the bottle instructed and now it's a little "sticky!" That's how I can explain it...it sounds like this stuff should dry fairly quickly. My bag obviously didn't need anymore lubrication. :confused1: Is there anything I can do? Should I just rub it down with a clean, cotton cloth to get rid of the excess? I assume it's safe to spray it with the Fabric Guard after it's back to "normal?"

Thanks for your help. I can't believe I did that. I had this inkling feeling when I was spraying too... shoot! I read through the entire thread, bought the right stuff and then used the wrong spray! lol

You're welcome Coti !
Yes Lola is washed lambskin. Currently all LPs are lamb, but in the past they have used cowhide, which are very nice bags also, but heavier.
A few coats of protective spray will be more than good enough.
Bittersweet is especially lush.

PHEW! Thanks for the feedback Stormy! I'm glad my brain isn't COMPLETELY fried! LOL "Superbag" I like that...puts a nice twist to my (thankfully) non-major mistake! :nuts::D
