Vintage Bags anyone?

Does anyone know how to take care of a snakeskin handbag? I read on ebay about babyoil, so I used some, but I feel like I can do more. I just purchased it yesterday. Also, the zippers say Areitio. Has anyone heard of that brand?

What a beauty! There is a product out there, specifically for snakeskin. I had some at one time, but the name of it has slipped my mind. You'll want to take good care of that baby for sure!

No baby oil please, baby oil is mineral oil very bad for all skins (except perhaps babies) :Push:

Check this link out from vintageskins.com: http://www.vintageskins.com/service.htm

I actually emailed them awhile back with some questions about my ostrich and alligator bags and they were super nice and emailed back quickly. :smile:

It's near perfect condition, would you believe I found this for $50 bucks! It's the best deal I'll get on handbag in a long time to come.
