She looks fabulous!!!!A seriously delayed photo due to various issues making the previous week a week from hell but there she is!

Thank you! Really pleased to learn that soft matte leather is able to handle being hand washed.
I suppose it also comes down to Mulberry's craftsmanship as something poorly made would have fallen apart...
Just wow!A seriously delayed photo due to various issues making the previous week a week from hell but there she is!

She looks gorgeous! That`s what a call a classy bag. So, so elegant!
Thank uoi, Emmelines! Super happy with her. Bring on sunny weather so I can take her out!Just wow!
Hi there, I'm thinking of buying products from furniture clinic to care for my bayswater (black grain). They have special handbag kits but they seem to have very little content. Has anyone experience with the regular leather care kit (better price)? https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Care_Kit
Using this products, is additional waterstop spray needed?

Hi! New to the forum and was hoping to get some help with my Elgin. The handles are starting to look a bit worn and I wondered whether anyone had used the collonil coloured cream on a mulberry to pep it up a bit? I have the neutral cream but think it needs a bit more than that. Thanks!
Having a problem with my Lily that I haven't had with any of my other bags. The colour (deer brown, glossy goat) is rubbing off slightly on areas where the hardware pushes against the leather.
Unable to upload a photo of my bag but this image from someone else shows the area: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q8OIjyw8l.../PFLzeB1EArI/s1600/Mulberry+Lily+Hardware.jpg
The area is the gold hardware that links to the chain strap on the outside. I bought the bag preloved recently and have only just noticed the colour rubbing. I treat my bags with Collonil products regularly and want to stop it getting worse.
Anyone have any suggestions of how I can stop it spreading?

Help me please!
I foolishly and thoughtlessly took my Alexa oak polished buffalo out yesterday when it was raining. First time I have carried this bag, and I foolishly did not protect with waterproof spray as I have my other Mulberrys. Now it has these little dark water spots all over the front and the sides and I'm devastated. It is not terribly noticeable but I would rather it wasn't there. I never experienced anything like this with my oak soft buffalo all the times I took it out in the rain without protection, and since I had read over and over again that the polished buffalo is more sturdy I guess I took it for granted.
What can I do about this? The spots look less visible than they did yesterday so I don't know if the bag just needs to dry "thoroughly"? The leather feels completely dry to me, and the watermarks seem to have "set".
