I don't have one yet, but I'm stalking an all vachetta alma. I like the color of the treated ones I see here, but I'm not in love with the waxy/shiny finish. So, while I don't mind the color change, and love the idea of treating it to avoid water damage, I'm wondering if there is a way to do that without high-shine.
You will need to keep your questions to Hermes leathers or take your questions to the Louis Vuitton or General leather care Sub Forums. Good luck
 
Dear Doc,
I've attached a picture of the corner of my Amazonia/Buffalo Garden Party, it has been rubbed through wear and tear. Should I use Blackrocks on it? or do I need to add some 'colour'? Thanks very much :smile1:

Hi there,
Don't use the Blackrock on it unlress you want it to just become slightly darker, for a color loss solution you'll need a small amount of color dye to mask the wear..Try Tarrago color dye find it online at www.shoetreemarketplace.com
 
Dear Doc,

I have a shiny croc Kelly cut that I use occasionally and after each use I put it back in its sleeper and box. I notice fingerprints on it and the leather is less shiny where I touched it (I live in tropical climate). Is there anything I can use to give it a wipe down after each use? I've read people use baby wipes on their normal leather bags but not sure if it's appropriate on croc and didn't want to try until I consulted with you. TIA for your advice!

Hello, First off using baby wipes is NOT a good thing to do to finished leather and certainly not for exotic skins.
Dd you just wipe the bag down and buff with a shine cloth? Or shoes shne cloth? That should be all you need to do...
Yes there are other things you can do but honestly this is a great start let me know how the shine cloth does for you...OK?
