Drop dead gorgeous!!
Leather honey restored the color and texture beautifully.
I’m really happy that I’ve discovered Leather Honey thanks to the posts here in the Bal forum. It’s much more potent than any other leather conditioner I’ve used in the past when it comes to pumping back faded leather to its original glorious colour. Doesn’t hurt that this bag has insane Chevre leather too. ❤️
Glad you were able to deepen your beautiful Sapin‘s color. When LH works, it is amazing.
Just important to realize that Leather Honey on older bags of medium to light color is almost 100% going to bring up dark areas that may not fade over time. very unhappy surprise with an 05 Caramel.

Oh yes! I did read that Leather Honey is tricky using on lighter coloured leather. Best to use for dark colours. It even happened when I put it on the Sapin. Some almost black spots showed up on the front of the bag which I didn’t notice when I got it and freaked me out. But thankfully, it also “went away” when the Chevre fully soaked in the Leather Honey.Glad you were able to deepen your beautiful Sapin‘s color. When LH works, it is amazing.

So sorry to hear about your Caramel. Did it get better later?
Never fully recovered. The marks did fade over time, but not completely. I feel obligated to post a warning periodically. It can be heartbreaking. 
Wondering if it would be helpful to treat a drier, faded bag with Leather CPR first, then apply Leather Honey? Or is that just overkill, and I should pick one or the other? Thank you!
Good morning…….
I will post the link to the Day that I purchased. I’m not exactly sure of the color. Thank you for your help!

I don't think you need Leather Honey for that bag, the leather looks to be in good shape. I use Leather Honey when I have a black bag that is so dry it is gray, or a orange bag so pale it is peach colored. You said you had Leather CPR, that should be more than enough.
Hi, I am also looking at the Day bag, is it really that big, I am 5'2", will it too big for me?Good morning…….

Hello- I am 5’11, and I do not feel it is that big at all. ( I do like somewhat bigger bags though). There is a Day Club subforum here. Have you checked that out to see if anyone posted any modeling pictures? Maybe someone close to your height? I would provide the link for you, but I am not very savvy with how to do that
And being 5’11, when I have the bag on my shoulder, the slouchiest part at the bottom hangs down to just right at my hip bone if that gives you any reference. Hope that makes sense.
