if anyone in the UK is here ( apoligies if this has been mentioned ) but you can buy Colenil from Timpsons ( I saw some Colenil and Meltonian products in the Timpsons in Edmonton Tescos where they have a Timpsons )

Hey guys, couple of questions if someone can answer:
1. Anyone used Coach cleaner/conditioner? My SA said that's what they use at saks
2. I am interested in cleaning and conditioning my bags. Not waterproofing. What is the best brand out of: Cadillac, meltonian, collonil?
3. I noticed meltonian has color to it's leather polish. So I need to match for the bag I am buying it for?
4. I noticed collonil has organic line. Anyone tried it? I am very sensitive to fumes from products but don't want to destroy my bags by getting organic product!
5. If you guys suggesting your favorite product can you tell me exact name. I am totally confused about gel vs. wax vs. lotion. Plus some bottles say it's conditioner then it's a cream. I have no idea what to buy
Thanks!

Having just received the last of my order of leather care products to tide me over until I find my other box (as I have no idea where my box is), I think I can answer some of these.Hey guys, couple of questions if someone can answer:

1. I've not used Coach products. The SA's at Chanel & NM usually use Meltonian or Cadillac or similar.
2. Cadillac, Meltonian & Collonil are all top brands. You will find Meltonian & Cadillac a bit easier (and you get more product for your $). The best I've used for conditioning still remains that little tiny jar of Meltonian delicate (no color).
3. No, you don't. Unless you are trying to put color back that has faded, you have no need for any of the colored products. The 170 Delicate is clear and has no color.
4. I've not yet tried the organic line, but I always use volatile products outdoors. The non-waterproofing ones I've not had an issue with, especially Meltonian delicate (are you sensing a pattern here?).
5. If we go with that pattern, and I could only buy one single product, I'd buy Meltonian delicate ("color" number is 170, but it's not a color; it's clear and made for delicate leather).
I do take this leather care for bags & shoes quite seriously.

My Saks SA recommends the first one and my NM SA uses the second one.
I have coach cleaner but I never use on Chanel cuz I feel the chemical is really strong!
I borrowed the second pix from Valentine2014!

I try to be! I have more stuff in the box I can't find, but happy to have these for now!
I just bought one product for exotics from Canada via Amazon. I get mine from eBay, Amazon and from the vendor directly, plus sime from a shoe place that ships. I'm still trying to get one product that seems to be sold only in the UK. It takes a bit of searching around to see who will ship to your area.
Ebay, I always forget about ebay...
I'll also try various shoe repair places as you never know what random products they carry...
Thanks!
Does anybody know where to buy the Collonil Metallic Spray in the US? Thanks!
Hers is a list of usa retailers
http://www.collonilnorthamerica.com/where-to-buy/
Can you help?/ I found the melatonian leather lotion but it says with mink oil. Is that ok to put on my lampskin chanel ? I need a little shine back
Thank you. There was a note from seller that Melatonian will be removing the mink oil from the product but that they still have the one with mink oil. Is the mink oil ok for the chanel bag? I only plan to use a very slight amount on the bag. Thank youThanks, I have checked several of the US retailers for Collonil products, but I couldn't still find one that sells the "Collonil Metallic Spray".
