My bucket is black and have to say it doesn’t show scratches as easily. My light tan tote has gotten a beautiful scratched patina. I’ve never treated my bags.
Way back when Kate Spade first came out their price point was much higher and I think they were trying to be a more, for lack of a better word “exclusive” brand. And no, I’m not knocking them now just saying their price point ended up being a little less than the first year or two they came out. Why am I bringing up KS? Because when the gold Kate Spade came off you could send it to them and they redid it. I don’t know if MG does this but it’s quite easy, or seemed to be.
Been reading through the thread and maybe I missed the answer to my question so I apologize if I did....I have my new MG veg tanned leather bucket bag. Do I really need to condition it first or can I just use the Apple Garde waterproofing spray? The bag is pristine and I wanted to just waterproof it.
Does anyone have advice on how to fix deeper scratches? I had tripped while wearing my lady bag and ended up scratching the bag on the pavement 
I’m so sad and had taken such good care of it prior to my accident. Any tips or suggestions would be super helpful!

I would try to condition it, hopefully it softens the leather enough to make it look less scratched.Does anyone have advice on how to fix deeper scratches? I had tripped while wearing my lady bag and ended up scratching the bag on the pavement
Thank you! I did what you recommended and it seems to be helping!

Hi, I use Chamberlain's Leather Milk No. 1 (conditioner) and 3 (protector) works well for mine. just a warning though, it can make the color a little darker.
Hi everyone! I won this bag for $152 on eBay, mini bucket bag. Do you think the water stains are fixable and it’s a decent deal for the condition? I was thinking magic eraser but I’m afraid of ruining the leather. Thanks!

I would gently use a baby wipe over the whole thing, not just on the stain so that it’s even all over.
Hi all,
I am the proud owner of a calf Royal bucket bag, via sample sale. This is my first "big girl" bag, and I am so excited. However, I am concerned about wear. I have read through the entire thread, and just cannot figure out if I should treat the leather and waterproof it. I understand it wears well but I am concerned about potential water stains if I get caught in rain. I welcome all advice.
