Hello Doc,

Would you have any suggestions what to use to condition Peau Porc? And what to use to keep it clean? My Calvi has a decent patina now but just need to know the maintenance part of this heritage leather.

Thank you!

Hi Doc,

I recently purchased a B35 in Gold Gulliver. It is in excellent condition except for some wear on the corners. What would you recommend to touch up the corners? Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Docride,
I bought this GP in epsom from an Hermes boutique ca. 6 months ago. I used it just once for a short time and have it stored properly. So, the bag is in brandnew condition. However, when I took it out & carefully checked it, I saw the leather looks very strange. It looks like the top layer of the leather is separating from the lower layer and could peel off (hope you understand what I mean, I am sorry! English is not my first language..)
I own some pieces in epsom (a Kelly & SLGs) and have not seen anything like this in other pieces.
Could you advise if this is normal? Is there anything I can do with it?20220209_161738.jpg20220209_162255.jpg20220209_162214.jpg

Thank you so much in advance!

Hello Doc, can you advise if the scratches on this bag can be remedied by a trip to the spa? This is Swift leather.

Hi there,
Spa can sometimes help scratches to look less glaring , however they will not disappear completely. This almost looks like an indentation? If it is more of an indentation and or press mark on Swift leather then yes , it’s possible it might be improved and smoothed a bit by spa.
all the best doc

Hi there
Could this bag have possibly been exposed to liquid ? Water or steam ? Or a spill?
Standing by

Hi Docride,
No, never. I used it once for a short time (mostly indoor). Properly stored, together with all my other bags... I wonder if this is a kind of defect (e.g. during dyeing process)...

I can’t say exactly why you’re seeing this …I was just guessing.
bring it to H and see what they say ?
Very best of luck
Doc

I'd always wanted an Hermes Victoria travel bag, and when one came up for auction this week on eBay--and I was able to snag it for $377--I couldn't resist. The interior is pristine. The leather (?buffalo?) is in great condition. There's a storage smell, but I'm confident that with time, and Zero Odor, it will go away. But the outside is very stained. I love the bag, but I'm on the fence: should I try to clean it myself? Any suggestions on how? (I tried one of those Tide sticks on a tiny stain on the bottom; it didn't budge. Warm water and Dawn with a toothbrush also didn't do anything.) Perhaps I should just return it? (The seller, from whom I've bought way too many bags, has a generous return policy.). I'm not sure I want to bring it to Hermes: I do have a relationship with a SA, but I worry that Hermes would see my $377 find as unworthy. Plus: if I invest in some serious work on it, it will no longer be a delightful bargain/find. I'd love advice/opinions . . .
