Happy New Year all.
I spent today caring for my beloved Vachetta leather Caroline. I used about three cans of Apple spray when I bought it, since I'm rough on bags. And it was a good thing because a ton of stuff has been spilled on it over the last two years. I think the most worrisome was Raspberry sauce and some coffee but but both wiped right off - yay for Apple spray!
Today used magic eraser to get the dirt off. It got most of it and it on the bottom too, However, a few corners were stubborn. Then, I used coach Conditioner and I was amazed it soaked up a whole bottle (three coatings). It got super, super soft, like lamb skin, and then, I used another can of Apple spray (and ordered more for one more coating).
I then, looked at some of the original photos of the vachetta leather Carolines and it was amazing to me how lovely this bag as aged. It was awesome when I got it, but now, it's super soft and a super rich golden leather
I pulled the old photo off the forum and took a photo of my bag. I wonder if it will get much darker. I like the way it is now, but we'll see what happens in two more years. I still love it as much as the day I got it.
Cheers
