I purchased a Nine West bag tonight (my first designer bag, ever), and snagged it at a pretty great price. However, I'm wondering how to treat it. It's a very soft bag that i'd like to keep in good condition, with minimal scratches and/or stains. Does anyone have tips on conditioning and possibly "sealing"/protecting it? I'm scared if I use regular saddle soap or leather conditioner I'll ruin the bag (which would be sad, as I never care for labels, but I loooove this bag a lot). I'd like to start using it, but don't want to until it's protected.
Edit: upon looking at the link I had posted, it's the same design but not the same material (with a few other differences), so I pulled the link. This feels like a. full grain leather.
After you clean and let the handbag dry you can apply this stuff. I use it water proof my ice skates. Just apply a SMALL amount and let dry for a few days. But you have to apply to a clean handbag. Depending on where you live- you may have to reapply every 6 weeks. ODT_ReviveX_Leather
But it being leather I'd just clean the handbag every so often with the Coach cleaner. Leather is pretty tough stuff.
I agree--using it gives it a "patina"...and think about it...cows (source of leather!) don't do a thing to their skins! Leather should hold up very well, on it's own, considering it's be treated and dyed!
Nine West manufactures "knock offs" of REAL designer goods. All of Nine West's "styles" are imitations from the established design houses.
