I'm hoping it's ok to ask here as didn't think it was best to open a new thread for. I haven't found much information and I've yet to use my new bag as slightly scared to but I was wondering what everyone suggests as to avoid colour transfer from happening? The bag is saffiano leather which I heard is easier to maintain/ care for. However is there certain materials to avoid or anything good to use on saffiano leather to protect the bag? There are mixed views on whether to use MK cleaners and protectors so I'm so confused.
 
Oh you know I'm justifying it already lol. I think I can wear it in winter, but thinking I'll use my bucket bag more in the fall/winter season, even though we don't really get one.. Not a bad problem to have I suppose!



I forgot how convenient crossbodies were until my huge belly made everything else heavy for me to carry lol.
I've been looking for a dove studded messenger, would be ideal but since I got the RM love I need blush! What kind of diaper bag do u use?
Hi pinkalicious, I noticed you were inquiring on diaper bags, and it's been forever since I've had one, but this just went on sale and had to share. It has great reviews everywhere I've looked! 1461207171593.jpg

Oh this is adorable! Thanks for the find! I ended up getting a petunia pickle bottom boxy backpack, it's made of fabric though which is off putting. I got it for a steal on eBay in preowned but new condition. I could sell it and check out this one [emoji23]

I haven't treated any of my saffiano bags. I've read that they are pretreated. If I get ever get color transfer or a stain I would likely try baby wipes. Also for the light colors I would use Lovin My Bags for handles only, but that's about it as far as treatment. I know other gals on here have treated theirs with the rain and stain from MK and that has proven beneficial too. What color bag do you have, is it super light?

May have to carry baby wipes with me then for a just in case scenario :p I'll try get hold of the Lovin My Bags as I'm looking to get more bags/ purses in the future as I'm loving the paler colours a lot. :smile1: my bag is cherry so it's not very light at all, I wear a lot of black/dark blue denim so worried it may darken the bag. Hopefully if it does happen it won't be so noticeable. Thank you for helping! :D
 
Well we have just booked a holiday to NYC on memorial day weekend! It has been an extremely tough 8 months for us, and this is a well needed break. For those who remember me posting about my Dad and his time in ICU and his recovery from that, his leukaemia became aggressive and within a week from that diagnosis he was gone. I'm looking forward to getting away and forgetting about having to deal with his estate etc (my mum died a while back and my brother isn't able to). Nothing prepares you for emptying a house with all the memories, pictures etc. The worst was finding all the love letters my parents wrote to eachother when they 17/18 and he was in the Airforce in the 60s. Sad to read but pleased to have them, they were inseparable for 40 years.

Oh MKbaglover... :( sending you lots of love and good wishes. Sounds like things have been really tough, I remember your posts. I hope you find some comfort in the letters. Your parents sound like they were devoted to each other. Getting away will be just the thing. How long are you in NYC for? x

So sorry to hear that, nothing can prepare you for such a loss [emoji17] the trip away will hopefully be just what you need X

I agree, Skip hop bags are very good, i had one for my son when they had barely begun their company...

I got my daughter one of their smaller, quicky type bags for my soon-to-be grandson.

Sounds like a good trip. So sorry, that would have been very hard, i did the same many years ago(altho it was my grandparents home), it felt odd going through such personal things ..

:hugs:

Generally, i don't think saffiano is meant to be treated, it's makeup leans it towards less likelihood of issues that said, dark denim is one to watch for... if a pair of jeans has a cautionary tag i never buy them lol.

Baby wipes seem like a go to for many, since i have a grandson coming i will have some on hand once again. :p
