Kate Spade URGENT: Cedar Street Maise in Mint or Rosy Dawn? & how do you keep the bag clean?

[CSG]

I am planning to buy a Cedar Street Maise. Help me choose between Mint and Rosy Dawn. Which is more classy and neutral?

On the other note, how do you clean your Cedar Street Maise (Esp the light/pastel colors)? Is there a need for leather conditioner and cleaner for that type of leather material or just wipe the bag with damp cloth?

Is it also necessary to spray Apple Garde Stain & Water repellant on cedar street maise bags?

Thanks!

I love the Cedar Street Maise bags. I have one in a light blue color (fresh air). It is quite light weight and is excellent quality. I use Apple Leather Care products (http://www.leatherstuff.com/categories/apple-leather-care/). I had learned on this forum that it is important to use the leather cleaner to clean your purse first. And then use the conditioner to keep the purse soft (since it is skin, it makes sense you would need this). After that, I spray a spray repellent (also an Apple Leather Care product) to protect it.

In my purse rotation, I always will do this maintenance every time I use a different purse. I do not clean the new purse, but the purse that I will be putting away.

It is always important to test a small spot of your purse before trying any type of treatment product. You can test a small spot on the bottom and wait to see if any issues occur.
