Hi Everyone,

What exactly is the waxy looking stuff Mulberry use to seal the edges of thicker leathers (Darwin etc)... and can it be repaired easily once it get cracked, or is it better to send off to Mulberry for repair? Has anyone actually done this?

Hi all, I have a purple patent Bayswater and the patent outer layer seems to have lifted up a bit in the middle at the top where it creased when sat on a shelf in my wardrobe. It's created a white plastic looking patch - is there any way this can be fixed or am I stuck with it like this? It's such a shame as it's a beautiful bag, I should have filled it out with paper when I wasn't using it!

Any advice would be welcome please.

Oh that's such a shame, maybe google it, and when TPF comes up on the page, you click on it and read if others had the problem and how they solved it.

Hello, I'm no expert at all, but maybe you could try heat? I heard that it works with furniture: when the varnish has become old and dry and lifts from the surface, you can iron it through a piece of cloth and it smoothes and sticks again. I would not iron your bag, though! Perhaps you could try a hairdryer and see what happens? Be careful, though, it's just a thought!

Hi everyone,

I just bought a black SBS from their online sale. Can't wait for it to arrive!

What do I use to protect it with? Collonil gel, waterstop spray or both? :)
And what do I protect my new oak long locked purse with?

I have finally bought myself a berry alexa after many months of admiring it - and it's my first mulberry bag too! I have bought some collonil water spray and gel to help protect it. I am keen to apply both before taking it out and risking it in the British winter weather.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on applying it? If I spray it on the metal parts will it mark it etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Hi ladies, I just want to double check something. I have read different opinions on here. Should I use collinal gel first and then spray to seal? Or spray, use gel as needed then spray again or spray then gel? :confused I am kinda getting the feeling it's gel then spray sorry? Lol. Thanks in advance x

P.S I feel like I am saying "spray, gel, gel spray gel! SPRAY? Gel gel!. :laugh

I had this problem too! I thought gel then spray, but I emailed mulberry to ask and they said spray then gel, but that it shouldn't make much difference. I still think gel then spray makes more sense though..
