Thanks you very much for this link. Much appreciated.

Use collonil and it will work. If it is pouring really hard then always have an umbrella at hand. Yes owning a Mulberry will take some maintenance but worth it.

Thank you for this tip. I hope I never a reason to use it. Cheers.

Very helpful. I really need to clean my new pre-loved bag. Shame that not all Mulberry owners do not keep regular upkeep on such nice bags...

Thank you so so much. Much appreciated.

I agree. I am new to PF but the using simple titles and words to problems makes it easier to search. Having said that it would be good to be specific as well i.e. "missing numbers on disc"

What is TPF please? Thank you so much.

Thank you for the tip. I agree from reading some post that using shoe cream is good but it must be the best like Boston. Best to go to a very reputable shoe place.

Really scared of using me first mulberry alexa oak. The base seems really vulnerable does anyone ever put them down when out and about or hold them all the time? Have my eye on a mini alexa but think it will be black!!

I never put my bags on the floor even though i protect them with colonill spray I always sit them on my knee .. Too risky !!!

Thanks Annietimps! But where can I get sheepskin from?!

They gave me a piece in the bond st store. Do you know anyone with a sheepskin rug?

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have bought a pre-owned mulberry brooke but it looks as though the leather has worn around the tree imprint or there maybe something on it. I have used leather cleaner but there were no marks on the cloth. I've attached photos so show the mark. Anyone have any ideas what I can do? Thanks for the help!

I've just bought a gorgeous Romilly in Darwin oak. The condition is excellent, with very few signs of use.

Now I wonder how to treat this beauty so it ages with style. Personally, I think the darwin leathers suit the worn look very well, but I still want it to look well groomed and "polished" when the leather darkens.

Tips, anyone? Thanks in advance

Definitely a leather cream like Collonil Gel to keep the leather supple and conditioned, which is especially important in older bags I think.

I have just got an Oak Effie from in and around the same era and the first thing I did when I brought her home was give her a good treatment with Collonil gel and then a wee spray with Collonil waterstop...but I will give her another treatment of gel fairly soon just to get the leather up to really good condition. I'll be interested to see what other suggestions you get
Your Romilly is beautiful!

Thank you both , I will go for both Collonil gel and spray

And thank you for your compliment of the Romilly, sugna, IMO it's perfect
