If it's new-to-me, pre-owned, I am really crazy, I just whip out my leather kit right away and start cleaning and conditioning that very minute. Can't help it. at all.
I will put all my stuff in the new bag the same day.
The bag is kept at the foot of my bed on a dustcover but away from my dh's feet!
With my then new LV Speedy, I used a loose handkerchief around the handles to avoid sweating hands (from all the anxiety of carrying new LV of course)
I will go, "whaaaa-arghh!!!" if any one in my household tries to move my bag without permission. Will also go on tPF and check out everyone's post, who has the same bag to see how they baby their bag
This is awesome.. I love the part u keep it away from "dh's feet" .. I literally laughed out loud... I'll confess I sniff the leather too n give it a lil hug... Lol...
