How difficult is it to keep the oyster florentine clean?

[gatorgirl07]

I am looking at Dooney and I am interested in the oyster color of several bags. I am wondering how hard it will be to keep clean? I have a teenaged boy so I don't really have to worry about major spills or anything, but he has been known to be messy.......

It is very pretty, which is why I'm worried. I will want to keep it looking nice

I don't have anything in oyster, either. It's such a pretty color, though.

I could have sworn that someone from the forum had bought one of the oyster flo bags

I have the medium pocket satchel in oyster. I haven't used it yet, but I did spray it w/ Apple Garde spray and it was fine. I think the Apple Garde will protect it and keep it looking nice for a long time. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have had the Oyster since Christmas and it still looks great. The color is a little darker IRL. I have used this bag almost everyday except when it was raining. I have two small kids too.. but they all banned from going near my bag

I also sprayed mine with kiwi protect all spray.

I have an oyster toggle bag and it has darkened a little but I love it. By far the color I have carried the most in florentine. It loves to go with deep reds, pinks and purples too.

Will the kiwi spray or apple guard keep the stains away?

I've seem this color in stores and it's def not blazing white. I imagine it wouldn't be too bad..kind of more grayish. Go for it!

 

[gatorgirl07]

I am kind of loving this color. Does anyone have any pics??

The kiwi protect all spray I used is good for waterproofing it and sealing the dirt out. You can't tell I sprayed anything on it at all. I was very resistant to doing it at first but it was a risk that I took, it paid off! I got mine at Walmart for around $8. Definatly worth it!

I'll try to post a pic in the morning I don't have very good lighting right now. If I can figure out how to do it here...
