Hi missg-I have sprayed a Chloe bag that was Vachetta and the handles of LV bags before. They return to their original color and they will still turn that nice deep color but it keeps them from getting the waterspots. At least mine did.
Also, I would recommend conditioning Vachetta with the Meltonian All Purpose Cleaner and Conditioner. It will keep your untreated Vachetta leather consistently waterproofed and conditioned so that it doesn't get creases and crack like you see some LV handles do.
Hope that helps.
thank you so much for the pictures!!!
Ok i'm going to be brave and do it!!!
Nat or anyone with white python- how did you clean it if it got dirty before spraying? I just got a pair of white python NPs today and they are a bit dirty- should I take them to Leatherspa to be cleaned or is there a way i can do it? Then i planned to spray them and my other babies

Are they the NP White Talco Python? (attaching pics of mine) If they are, send me pictures of the dirty areas and I'll tell you what to do. If they're different python, send me pics.

I got my Meltonian spray and used it on my Balotas! Question Nat: does the spray keep oil and dirt off or do you have to keep brushing it after every wear. I wore them out the other night, having sprayed them, and there were some ?"oil" marks in a few places. They came out with brushing. Did I not apply enough spray?
... just don't breathe the fumes! I'm on bottle #3 and I've learned to do it outside
I've sprayed one pair in my ensuite bathroom with the fan on and windows open because it was pretty cold out at the time and I had to sleep on the couch that night because the fumes were so strong! Did you apply 2 coats? Either way, I always brush my suedes after a long day or night out in them. It just keeps them fresh and from getting those lines in them from say, oh, I don't know...sitting on a bar stool?
I especially spray the heck out of the backs of my botties since I don't take them off in the car to drive. But, here's a little trick for that...
If you have boots or booties on and don't want to take them off, use a satin pillow case in your car to put under your shoes. I figured if it worked on my Aunt's hair all of those years, there was something to it.
Candy-I wouldn't use a powder brush because is has a curve to it. You want to use a flat brush. I would look for a facial brush. Like you would use if you were giving yourself an at home facial. That's for exotics. I'm attaching a link for an example.
This is like the one I use.

For suedes, use a stiffer brush. I actually just use the brush that comes from my cobbler that is an actual suede brush.

Hi Sassy-yes, I use it on all of my Lizards. I have a pair of suede VPs with ring lizard that I sprayed the whole shoe. I also just used it on a beautiful new Nancy Gonazlez ring lizard handbag. So, yes, Lizard needs waterproofing just like all other exotics. It is very hearty though.
yes it's those! Wow your's look incredibly white! that's nat!!! i'll send them later i really appreciate the help
