:smile1:Thank you for replying, however I am actually wondering if the leather care is gonna nourish the leather instead of water resisting. I do have two bottles of waterstop spray myself. Thanks for the info too!

I'm not sure about the cream you bought, but I use the Heavy Duty Waterproof Spray and it's been working really well! It's been raining lightly and because the trim of my Dior Panarea is leather, I've sprayed it on there. It was a bit sticky at first, but as intsructed on the bottle, I polished it because it's smooth leather, and I don't even notice it was even sprayed!

Not sure if we're talking about the same leather gel, but I'm pretty sure the gel is for water resistance as well, it doesn't nourish or keep the colour of leather not sure about the one you bought either, sorry for the confusion

Does anyone know how to clean the suede inside to my bag...it's a bit grubby and id like to try and freshen it up? :) thank you!!

Collonil do a very good suede cleaner & there is also a suede rubber (same as pencil rubber i think) that rubs off marks. You can also spray Collonil waterstop lightly inside to protect it a bit

May I suggest the use of a bag liner in the future ;) it will really keep your bag clean & it makes changing bags a breeze :D

Hi All,

Thank you for reading my thread, finally able to create one. Well I brought a genuine Oak Roxy on ebay a few months ago along with a chocolate not so used bag.

The Oak has very grubby ultra soft straps which I am not too keen on and was wondering if anyone knows of a good product and get it like new or new as? Or can Mulberry replace the straps at a price as I have a stud missing on it also I need repairing.

Is it normal for the flaps to go all soft and the pocket leather hand lower? Can anything be done to add structure again? I have already tried cardboard but its starting to fall out.

The whole bag could so with TLC any suggestions on product, its darwin. I dont fancy bidding on ebay anytime soon for another Oak Roxy so need to stick with this one but how are the new NVT oaks like for reference?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Laura

I'm not sure if this would work on the inside of your bag, but to clean suede, you can get this rubber block and suede brush with soft bristles. What you normally do is rub the uneven rubber block (kind of uneven like the sole of rubber boots) to dislodge most of the dirt and you can use the brush to remove it from the 'hairs' of the suede ;) here's a link to how you can clean your suede inner lining:

Oh that’s great, glad it helped. It’s surprising how easily suede picks up dirt. You can also use the Collonil waterstop spray on suede or they do a specific suede protector called "nubuck & velours" which does help, if it’s just the flap should be easy to spray.

--Sorry for the ignorance--but what is a "bag liner"?
Click to expand...

Hi Sophie, a bag liner is something that will revolutionise your handbag! It's an organiser that keeps everything together, protects the bag and gives it some structure. Here's one of mine:

does anyone know how to clean a powder beige bayswater when there's color transfer or its getting dirty? i have been using it for a year now and i used the waterstop spray before using

Theres suede cleaner (collonil) that cleans the suede inside, the gel cleans the top of the leather but mine didnt have any transfer on it... hope that helps, reading through this thread might help :)
