What do you use to touch up your H bags?

I use Tarrago leather polishes and occasionally their dye/paint. I always blend two or three to get the right color, and for the paint I make it verrrrrrry thin and apply multiple coats.
The matching polish/paint setup they have makes it easy to make sure you’ve got the color mixed right in polish before you mix the same in the paint. Regardless, always test a tiny dot somewhere hidden.
Note- I’ve used the paint extremmmmmmely rarely. Primarily on Epsom to replicate the look of the overspray. (I think overspray is the right word? Not super experienced by any means.) I’ve also taken things to Hermes for other work afterwards and no issues.

I personally leave mine alone with plans of taking it to H spa one day when it’s all beat.
Togo is probably never going to scratch unless you attack with the pointy end of a knife. Don't touch it. It will last for years, get wet, go anywhere and will never show anything. Great leather!
When I lived near NYC, I would go to the JOHN LOBB store across from Hermes on Madison for polish. Especially for exotic leathers,
No. It’s a part of the aging on white. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, it’s such that Hermès will only re-do it once at spa.
I would not try to touch up my bags myself. If I did a touch up and the bag would need a spa treatment later, the spa might not accept the bag because of what I did.
Nail polish....I can't breathe.
I use Meltonian on small color loss. The polish only. I will not personally do any permanent process on my bags.
