How to clean a leather bag or where do I have it cleaned?

Hi, Cat!

You can use Apple Leather Cleaner.  Then, there's also the Apple Garde Rain and Stain Repellent and the Apple Leather Care (conditioner).  These products are now available in the Philippines.  I just bought an Apple Garde Rain and Stain Repellent through eBay Philippines.  Here's the link to the Apple Leather Cleaner being sold in eBay => http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180290523135&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT&refitem=180287835173&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget&_trksid=p284.m183&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DS%252BI%26itu%3DUCI%252BSI%26otn%3D4.

Another well-known bag care product line is LovinMyBags (LMB) =>  http://www.lovinmybags.com.  I don't think there's already a distributor of LMB products in the Philippines, though.

Hope this helps...

ink is a difficuLt stain to remove, but sometimes spraying the ink stain with a bit of hair spray and then wiping it off with a cLoth wiLL do the job...

help naman mga sis. i have this fendi monogram hobo bought by an aunt from the states and for the longest time, nakatago lang sya. i just brought it out recently and na-notice ko kaagad ang discoloration sa buckle due to humidity. any suggestion how to make it appear "shiny" again? i'm thinking of bringing it to besa's or mr. quickie. the bag itself is very much ok. yung logo buckle lang talaga ang problem ko .

[Bag_Snob]

Hi, Valerie.  Is the buckle made of metal?  If it is, you can use metal polish to remove the discoloration and bring back the shine.  You can get it from any hardware store.

[valerieganda]

^ yes sis, metal. sige i'll try the metal polish kaso i'm not sure if mababalik ang pagka-gold nya?

i store my bags in a big paper bag since i do not have dustbags.  my bags are not that expensive naman but whenever I have one, i will take care of them as in super ingat.

would you know a local seller of shining monkey?

[Bag_Snob]

^  I think I saw one Girl Talker selling Shining Monkey.  If I remember it right, her name's "artegirl".

[zxiver]

The Apple Leather Cleaner is used to remove stains while Shining Monkey is a kind of leather/fabric protector.  An alternative to Shining Monkey would be the Apple Garde Rain and Stain Repellent.

^i see! thanks, sis!
