Hi all,
I am currently getting a few bags authenticated at the moment but was wondering...
Has anyone tried using like, car leather conditioner on the bags? Like Amour all?
We have that at the house and a I tried it on a small part on the bag but I am worried it can ruin the bag? It does feel soft though...
Also, Has anyone tried shoe polish to color the bag?
This bag I assume is from early 80s? Can anyone id?
Is crazy scratched and the piping is also discolored, what can I do to clean it up?
I have not decided if this bag would be too much work for me and just to sell it.[/ QUOTE]
No shoe polish and no car stuff if it has silicone in it, which also means no Coach leather care stuff, it too has silicone. Your pic isn't showing up for me, first I recommend a bath with Dawn dishwashing detergent. Let her soak a bit to get the dirt out. Then stuff with towels and let air dry. When she is slightly damp you want to condition, something like Leather CPR or Leather Therapy. Then Blackrocks to add the finishing touches.
Your pic just showed up! She doesn't look too bad, she may have been previously polished. A bath will remove all the previous stuff, you want to condition so the leather can breath and be soft and supple.
