Forget Lexol and Apple! In desperate situations use Leather CPR!

[Jessi319]

I forgot to mention that Leather CPR has little or no odor. It is very pleasant and easy to use. However, it is an opaque white lotion so you can't use it on pebbled leathers.

So glad you tried it!! I just did a couple of bags this week with it. Just bought two more tubes at Tuesday Morning YESTERDAY !! And, yes, I"ve gotta give you a high five.... that bag really looks a zillion times better!!

Would you recommend completely replacing Apple with leather CPR in all cases?

I got my Leather CPR at Wal-Mart. I had run out of Apple (which I still like better) and I picked this up in a pinch.

Wow that's amazing! Seriously you need your little own section/virtual column for all your rehab successes!

Wow, another wonderful rehab!!! Don't you just love the Tribecas? I hope you put her to good use, she's beautiful

Wow thanks for the info! I'm in the middle of rehabbing a stewardess bag and after about 5 apps of Apple the bag is still dried out and doesnt look much better. Your rehab came just in time! Beautiful!

May I ask what section of the store you found the CPR in? I'm working on a new rehab project that just may need it!!!

It looks lovely, kate! What a night and day difference between before and after. Gorgeous!

I'm not sure, Apple is fine for most glove-tanned leather Coach bags but I am not crazy about the smell of the Apple Conditioner - although the scent does fade with time.

I will have to try CPR on other products, but it did a great job on this bag!

A lot of TPFers have a hard time finding Apple locally but there seems to be a lot of these Tuesday Morning stores around! Hopefully, they will keep stocking it!

Call first, I initially called the TM store nearest to my house but they were out, so I called one a few miles further away and they had lots of it!

I'd love to find a Stewardess Bag! Good luck with your rehab and be sure and show us the pictures!

I think it was hardware?! I just asked at the register and the SA told me to go to the far back corner of the store.

Leather CPR is what I used on my LV vachetta

That's good to know, I have never tried to rehab a vachetta bag. Thanks!

Are you sure that is the same bag? I am goinG to try some of the CPR on my vintage rambler for sure

Yes, it's the same bag!

Good luck with your rambler, I'd like to come across one of them some day; be sure and show us the photos!
