I have just purchased an Hermes Kelly 32 in Togo leather with PHW. I would love to keep my bag in the best condition possible. What are best practices to keeping the leather clean and conditioned? What products if any do you use?

Use Hermes Spa if/when needed. End of advice.
During the time I purchased my Goyard bag, SA recommended a lotion for me to use to clean it. I found the lotion at BHV Marais leather section. I've consistently used this lotion to clean my Goyard bag and my B25 togo bag around the same period.
A soft goat hair brush to gently dust it after each use and to store it away from heat/light sources inside its dust bag is a good start.
Anything else becomes risky (different products react differently and if you take too long to apply a product or use too much you can stain / oversaturate the leather).
It is often best to follow @papertiger ‘s advice and to simply use the spa. This guarantees your ability to use their services long term since the spa can refuse to service items which have been worked on by third parties.
Albeit as @rumes mentioned Saphir makes some of the best products on the market. The macadamia cream from their gold label line is their most gentle formulation. I’ve used their lotions on anything from box leather to Himalayan croc with great success. (Saphire reptile for the croc)

Unlike some heritage leather, Togo is relatively carefree. I don’t really DIY as it’s best to send to H spa or talented third party professional, like @docride , as needed. Less is more.
I'm an advocate for the Hermes spa.
For the most part they can handle any type of repair & in spite of having to wait months more or less,
the work at H spa speaks for itself, JMO

Hi all, I wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience or know if H Spa can do something on the damage corners of a birkin in togo? Thank you! x
You can use products from Lexol (wipes, cleaner or moisturizer). Lexol won't damage H leather or leave any trace. H Spa won't notice if you used Lexol products on your bags. A safe option to H Spa.
Hey! Yes they can fix spots where leather was rubbed or damaged or without color. It depends on wear and tear, but usually they do their best.
Thank you so much. The corners are very damaged to the point that you can see the white under. I am hoping to buy preloved as it’s the colour and spec I’ve been looking for, but wondered if it’s worth the risk if H can’t do anything about it. Thanks again x
