I don’t use anything on my bags. But I never take it to store for cleaning either. With the level of service every brand seems to offer here, I doubt they’ll do anything for me. But maybe I’ll try if I need cleaning. [emoji848]

I was going to say the exact same thing as Jennit! Well doneHooray, my newest baby has arrived! I took the time to rehab her before I shared (for some reason, all my bags end up being ladies haha!). She was in pretty good condition for the price, $575 and I think the original was ~$2000. There were some scuffs, she was sagging, and the corners were pretty rough. Here are the before/after pics of my work on her; I think the corners look great and she can stand up on her own again!
I'm so happy; this is a forever bag in my collection
Wow looks brand new!! Amazing! Please share what you did to restore as my little black suede Loewe has cornor scuffs I'd like to fix up. Thank you!Hooray, my newest baby has arrived!

Wow! Really fabulous. How do you get the corners to look so good again? And get her to have better posture? May I adk what you use?
I think you meant to quote @bellebellebelle19 . Hopefully, she will share with all of us how she worked her magic!

Thank you all so much for your sweet words! It's so lovely to share in the purse joy on TPF
Sorry for the delay in response; work and family time has been keeping me away! It was a surprisingly simple rehab. I'm sure any of you could do it! You simply condition the bag and stuff it to restructure it to its original shape. I think this works because the conditioner softens the leather and then the leather can reform to the shape you created by stuffing it.For scuffs, all I did was use a rich conditioner on the corners and it brought them back to life like magic! @Pomba , since your corners are suede, I'd look into suede rejuvenators. Unfortunately I've never used one so I can't recommend from experience, but I use other products from Kiwi, and Saphir is a well-known and expensive brand. Both have products for touching up black suede! Luckily, black is the easiest leather color to rehab!
Please read on if you would like details, but I'll hide it behind a spoiler to avoid clogging up the thread with my long writing! Thanks again all for your sweet words
Here's exactly what I did to reshape it:
1) I rubbed Leather CPR into the bag with my hands until it sunk in. Gentle rubbing is enough! And I'd test an inconspicuous corner first. A vintage bag I used this on would lose dye when I rubbed moisturizer on it, but Loewe's leather was extremely colorfast! No dye transfer at all, which I think speaks to the quality of their processes. I'd also be careful not to get it on the lining (I got a teeny bit on the suede inside of mine and it stained
)
2) Let it soak in for another 30 minutes to an hour, and then rub in a second coat using the same process.
3) With Leather CPR, I follow the directions on their label and apply a final coat. The trick is instead of rubbing it in/letting it sink in, once you've covered all the surfaces in light layer of conditioner, you wipe it all off right away using a soft white t-shirt. I've noticed this prevents the leather from feeling sticky or overly saturated with conditioner.
4) Then I stuffed it over night, but be careful with this step. You don't want to overstuff it so that the leather will stretch out, but you do want it to be full enough so that it returns to its structured shape and will stand on its own. I used soft materials like tissue paper and old t-shirts to put inside it until I felt it was full enough. It may be beneficial to cut out soft cardboard like from a cereal box in the exact shape of the panels of your bag, so you know that no part is being overstuffed or stretched out.
4) The next day, I left it stuffed and then I conditioned the bag twice again while stuffed, using the same process as above (and then did the third and final wipe-off layer).
5) I let that sit one more time over night, and voila! The conditioner and stuffing has returned most of the structure and she could stand on her own again!
How I got the corners to look new:
Honestly I was pretty surprised by this. I just used a very rich conditioner. In fact, this conditioner (Blackrock) is really too intense for most needs. It would make most bags feel sticky, but it's absolutely perfect for blending out scuff marks. All I did was apply a tiny amount to each corner and rub it in with my finger. I used such a small amount I didn't even have to wipe away excess; I just rubbed it in. I didn't need another layer either, except on one corner which was especially bad. I'm not sure if you can see, but in my original pic, you can see that the corner in the second row still has a small scratch because the scuff was too deep. The other three look new though!
Hope this helps anyone who's interested! I've definitely learned so much from TPFers especially on the Coach rehab thread, so I'm just trying to pay it forward

Thank you for sharing! And for taking the time to post the process. It really does help to know how to keep our beloved bags that we thought we could not bring back to usefulness. [emoji173]️
Thanks so much for the great information! I just ordered some Blackrock conditioner to use on the scuffed corners of a bag!Thank you all so much for your sweet words! It's so lovely to share in the purse joy on TPF

Gate Bag Personalisation service at Harrods. Available until 28th December.
Hi Guys.... I was at Nordstrom's last night and got to see the mini puzzles in person. Sorry this is not the best picture but the lighting was too much in the store. I passed on the bag because it's basically a micro bag and I'm 5'1 and think it's small 
. I'm happy with my small puzzles.
