I just smothered one of my driest Balenciaga bags in a liberal coat of Leather Honey and the agneau drank it up like water!! I can’t wait to see the final results in the morning. I thought I’d refresh my 2011 Weekender since I’ll be using it tomorrow because I’m going to Toronto for the day. I’m actually shocked at how good and refreshed the bag is already looking. I can’t wait to share the results.

that sounds great. Can’t wait to see the pictures. Would love to try Leather Honey, but I havenot found it on any european websites.

So I let the bag sit overnight, and it completely soaked up all the leather honey so there was literally no excess to be wiped away in the morning. I’m considering actually doing a second coat! The leather honey added a beautiful light sheen to the leather, and the colour also became more saturated in areas that were graded, and the corners. Here is the result so far:
Be cautious because too much Leather Honey can make your bag feel heavy and oily.
This is beautiful! Does anyone buff their Bal bags? I buff my other bags to remove excess conditioner. Not sure if it would work with crinkly leather.
That really came out beautifully! I have found that most of my bals love leather honey. It has saved many of my bags. A little goes a long way, as @muchstuff suggests. But I have found that the thicker leathers of certain years take to it well.
Do you have any experience eith 2011 og S/S 2012 (black) leather and Leather Honey?
I don’t. It would probably be fine though. I have an anthrocite Day bag from 2010 and that bag loves LH. The only bag that I have that doesn’t seem to work well with LH are my 2005 rouge theatre day. 2005 is known for a very silky leather. I’ve noticed that it is thinner feeling than my other bags, and the color darkened and at the same time rubbed off a bit. And the residue stuck around for a while, making the bag feel sticky.
I think yoI are fine using it if the leather on you bag isn’t too light or thin
Thank you both. I will try to see if one of my friends in the US can buy it for me. My new-to-me Velo and Day deserves the best ❤️
I will mention that it's not my go-to conditioner. And be careful on light colours as it has a tendency to bring out the irregularities in light leather.
May I ask what is? I have tried Collonil (Diamond, I think?) but that gave a grey shine on my black bag. I need treatment for two black Bals. Agneau and chevre, both rather thick and chewy.
I use Leather CPR. It’s worked for me and is great for softening stiff bags as well.
