Hello cuir lovers :) Does your bag ever shriveled during very dry and cold days? Mine does and it turns back right away in room temperature.
I thought maybe I should moisturize it for maintenance. Suggestions? I have some collonil leather cream and bees/carnauba-wax at home.

Thanks!

I have to say, my bag has not shriveled. :laugh:

Hi ladies! I have a similar question about maintenance of LPC bags (I have a medium in natural). Collonil products are available where I am from, checked the local distributor's site and they have various products for cleaning, conditioning, and waterproofing. To name a few they have leather gel, waterstop, delicate cream --- not sure which would be best for lambskin. For those who have used these products on their LPC, specifically which ones would you recommend? Any tips on applying these products? Thanks! :)

I noticed 2 small patches of shriveling on the bottom of my bag by the seam. I didn't notice it before. I conditioned those areas and it helped, but it didn't go away. Interesting that yours bounced back when it warmed up.

I use Cadillac Conditioner or Apple Guard Conditioner on ALL of my leather bags, including my LC Cuir bags, and spray them with Apple Guard Rain & Stain Repellent after. I have not had any issues or problems. :smile1:

I'm thinking about purchasing a Cyclamen Cuir small tote when I'm in Amsterdam.

For all you ladies who have a Cyclamen Cuir, have you had issues with it turning yellowish from your usage overtime?

Would the Apple Rain & Stain Guard eliminate the possibility of yellowing of the light coloured leather?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

ETA: For those who have both the small and medium, are the crossbody straps for both the small and medium the same length?

I've had the cyclamen for 4 years now, and it has darkened slightly, but no yellowing. And I do not treat it with kid gloves - I toss it around, and it's been caught in the rain more than once.

Hope this helps

How can you tell it has darkened? Are there other parts who have darkened while the rest stayed the same?

I have cyclamen but have only used three times the past year. I bought it new last year as well. Might have been an old stock that resurfaced.

The leather of the old cyclamen is softer and more sensitive, in my opinion. I like it that way but I'm curious how the new cyclamen will wear out.
