Can someone please tell me how to apply leather conditioner on the bag? I got the Cadillac brand and Collonil Waterstop is on its way. Do I do the Collonil first and apply the Cadillac using a microfiber cloth? I took a peek at the bag (bucket in camello/orange) to check the stitching and the attached pouch, I LOVE IT!!!

I personally didn't think it was necessary to waterproof my flamma bucket as I've had water on it and didn't leave a mark. Plus, the calf leather used to make the flamma has already been treated, if I remember correctly.
Still gorgeous!!
Thank you ladies, this thread was really helpful to begin with so I am glad to be able to give something back!
Update: Almost 24 hours later, the camello is looking SO GORGEOUS after the protectant has set in. I am really now obsessed with the camello and I definitely see more camellos in my future......I am so glad the husband doesn't read TPF.

I used Apple leather conditioner on my cammello/azzurro mini bucket yesterday and it took it very well--bag doesn't look any different and I feel better knowing it is protected--we have lots of rain here right now so it still may be a bit before I can use it.

I could switch it up, I suppose.
I just treated my Cammello tote with Apple garde rain repellant. It worked wonderfully. The color didnt change at all either. [emoji1][emoji1]
Has anyone used anything on their calf coated leather? I have two things going on. First is color transfer after just one day wearing denim which came off with some leather cleaner I had, no problem. The second concern that it seems to be developing dry lines/creases where the leather is bent/curved. I'm wondering if some sort of conditioner would be useful for this and if so, what?
I would read through and try one of the suggested conditioners. you could test it on the pouch first or the bottom of the bag. I have those lined on my veg tanned bags.
This is what mine is like in many spots. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something I should be caring for.

What color is your bag? Is it the rosa? I got some blue spot on my rosa tote today and I had to run leather cleaner for awhile to remove the stain. I hope the rosa doesn't stain easily because I also have the bucket but I am too worry to bring it out. What type of leather cleaner did you use?
It's the Rosa/Rosa large bucket. I used some coach leather cleaner I had here and a mr. clean magic eraser and gently rubbed in a circular motion. It came off no problem.
