question about moisturizing leather bags:
how often do you moisturize your leather bags? wondering because i tend to do it alot..:s um usually when i find a scratch mark or something....but it is bad to do it too often? the woman at the store said like once a month, but how often do you all do it?

I make a production of it twice a year (winter/summer) to ensure that all my leather goods get treated even if I'm not currently using them. The bags in current rotation may get some extra TLC (every 8 weeks or so) because I find that the scratches are less noticable and I can clean them easier, too, if necessary.

I've done it once this year so far. Since many of my bags are getting constant use I don't feel the need to do it too often. If you are constantly using a bag maybe every other month or when you see a scratch.

Oh, and does anyone know why you are not supposed to moistuize the legacy leather? I bought the whisky hippie at the outlet on TH and it has quite a few handling marks. I tried rubbing them with my fingers but my hands are always dry to begin with so it had little effect. So I did use a little Coach leather moisturizer on it; how could it hurt it? :shrugs:

don't moisturize legacy leather, vachetta, or pebbled leather (I know there are others, but these are the main ones)

I know this is what the care card and associates say, I'm just wondering about the why? (I was a pain in the a## back in school.... wait, I still am!:nuts: ) I wouldn't do it on the light vachetta b/c I'd be afraid it would darken it, but why not on the vintage vachetta and the others? just curious

The Coach SA actually moisturized my Whiskey Shoulder Bag before I purchased it to see if it would help with the scratches. Totally helped, have had it for over a month, and it still looks great. I'm not planning to repeat the moisturizing on it since they recommend not to, but I can't think one time will hurt it too much. Anyone know WHY you can't moisturize Legacy?

Good to know - Thanks! Now I'll go ahead and moisturize the rest of it, I started with the area concealed under the flap. I'm also trying to "work out" the scratches.
