Hello everyone,
While doing some research on Saphir Medaille d'Or products for leather care, I noticed that de Saphir Medaille d'Or Nappa cream is recommended for condtioning the vachetta of canvas bags. The product claims not to darken the vachetta.
Until now, I followed the advise from the LV SA's that I never should apply any product on the vachetta. However, the vachetta of my Neverfull has cracked after many years of use, and I wonder if I could've prevented this by conditioning the leather. Also the handles look dirty and there are water stains on the bigger parts of the vachetta. I live in a country were it rains a lot, so I would like to prevent water stains.
I was thinking about applying Collonil leather spray to prevent water stains, but I've read that water repellants aren't very healthy. because most of them contain PFAS/PFOS. And the SA told me that it would dry out the leather and cause damage in the long term.
That's why I would like to try the Nappa Cream of Saphir. It would be very helpful to know if someone already tried this.
