Hi Doc,
I had this bag authenticated but wanted to see what your thoughts are about the condition. I know it needs some work but is there anything that I should be particularly worried about? Please share your expertise. Thank you!

Great bag for the price. Small tear starting on the handle base pad nothing major.
Hi Doc,
I was planning to purchase some Lexol-pH Cleaner wipes for the Chevre Interior of my Bags when I saw that there is a new Lexol Premium 3-in-1 Leather Care Wipes. Will this be a better alternative as it cleans, conditions and Protects in one go?
Ultra gentle cleaners lift dirt off the leather without damaging or drying it out. * Lexol Premium 3-in-1 Leather Care is pH balanced and non-alkaline so it contributes to the life of your leather. * Naturally enriched conditioners penetrate below the surface for a rich and supple feel. * Modified oils are absorbed and evenly distributed into the leather fibers. These microscopically fine oils adhere to the fibers to prevent seepage and migration to other surfaces.
Thanks for your appreciated opinion!

Hello there, I have not used these 3 in 1 wipes. Test them out and see how you like them.
As always test a small hidden area and wait 24hrs to make sure you are happy with the results before proceeding to treat a lager area.
Smile... I think that it is best I stick to tried and tested methods first... I will order some Lexol PH leather cleaner for now... Thanks for the clarification!
dear doc - hello again - Its the time of the year when I dig up my old black herbag as its light and a great winter bag. I wonder, since I am in London where it rains a lot, would you recommend anything to protect the leather? (i can post a better photo if you need it- but basically its black hunter leather and it has a nice mat finish which I rather like and dont want to loose.) THANK YOU

2 rounds of it should do the trick.
Hello! I'm hoping I can get some help here. My orange Kelly has a tiny bit of rubbing on 2 of the corners. I have seen Tarrago leather dye mentioned here to touch up corners, but my question is which color should I order for classic Hermes orange? I'm ordering online & the only choices I see are Pale Orange & Red Orange. Will one of those match or is there another color I should get?? Thanks in advance!!
Hi Doc,
not sure how to contact u as there was no email contact on ebay so came here and im so new i cant post private msgs. would really love to buy one of your bags on ebay. not in the U.S. though, could you please let me know how i can go about doing this? thanks! my email is [email protected]
looking forward to hearing from you
thanks!!!
Orange is a tricky color, I would get orange ,yellow,red,and and a white or cream and custom mix. Each orange will be a bit different and your color may dry darker than expected. 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
Dear Doc,
I understand that you recommend "Armor All Shine Protectant Wipes" (please correct if I'm wrong) to treat the outside of amazonia bags, since the Hermes amazonia wipes are currently unavailable. What would you recommend to clean (remove brownish spots) inside the bag? Thanks so much!
