Sorry to hear that. Recover soon Doc.


Would greatly appreciate your quick advice on what products I will need for maintenance and care of my new purchases of Blue Jean Boxcalf Kelly 32 (1999) and Vache Liegee Gold Birkin 30 (2009).


The Kelly has many superficial scratches throughout, hairline scratches at the exterior flap close to the handles (also, looking like color loss? I am uncertain), scuffs and color loss at four corners, etc. What would I need to do overall? What are some good maintenance and care products for this leather? How would I work on the bag?


The Birkin is in very good condition overall with just minor dirt? or stain? on the corners. The bag does feel a bit dried out (but I am not sure how VL leather should feel). How would I clean up the corners? What are some good maintenance and care products for this leather?


Thanks so much Doc.

most of these are areas you show except for the under side of the handles are areas of color loss meaning when you clean and then condition them they may darken
you can clean and condition and shine with a luxury again spa kit or with a leather cleaner and add in a conditioning polish like saphir renovant
the color loss on h panels isn't going to be something that youll be able to sort out yourself even with the best products on the blue jean youll need a pro there and a very superb one take care that they don't simply spray the whole bag down with leather paint.
am presently creating a product which will color refresh large areas without affecting hand feel nor would it slip and end up on hand and clothing like polish, its a pigment impregnated conditioning cream which really
gives a boost to bags whos color has become oxidized. faded or generally less vvibrant and tired looking be on the lookout
when I get out of this cast ill have it available
All the best doc

For what's worth, iPhone and iPad have voice typing built in. You can talk to speaker phone and the words will be typed on screen. There may be some misspelling or mistake, but it is much easier for now. Take care ! Hug.

Totally agree about that trophy, maplemoose. If anyone deserves one, doc really does get the top prize here.
