Protecting Your Balenciaga

[LoriB]

Since I know for sure I am going to keep my '05 caramel Box forever and ever, I decided to do two things I had been wanting to do. I shortened the tassles just a little bit, and I applied Apple Garde' Rain and Stain Repellant Spray to it. I did it three times, and allowed it to dry between each coat.

The leather on this bag was already excellent, but after applying the spray, I SWEAR it got even more soft, smushy and gorgeous! It didn't change the color at all, but the leather did change for the better. TDF!!

I am not going to spray my ink twiggy because I am not keeping it. I am on the hunt for an ink first instead.

haha I also sprayed my bbag with apple garde - works like a charm! I also lotion it with apple leather care conditioning lotion every month or so do give it a good cleaning, and to ensure the leather stays moist to prevent tears/scuffs/scratches. My bag is SOOO soft - I swear by Apple!!!

Do you guys order Apple Guard or Apple Conditioning off the internet or is there a place to buy it? Probably is a rediculous question...I should know the answer to, but I have to ask

Go to leatherstuff dot com (.com) and you can find it there. They ship fast, prices are great, products are even better!

I think you can also buy Apple products at Burlington Coat Factory stores.

do you use the leather care conditioner first, then spray?

i definitely want to soften up my bags! thanks

The way I understand it, yes, use the conditioner first then spray. However, I didn't use conditioner, I just sprayed. Who knows, maybe I did it wrong? But it looks and feels good to me.

Thanks for the tips! I bought the spray and repellant, but have been too scared to use it just yet. Think I'll go try it tonight!
