Product Tips
Care of your bag is a very personal concept. I contacted the John Lobb company direct to enquire about caring for both my Dolce and Floto bags.
For any cleaning you undertake, I suggest an assortment of quality soft non-abrasive cleaning dusters, plus a roll of quality soft, non-scratchy quilted kitchen paper.
Some people do nothing more than wipe their handbag with a damp cloth, whilst others pre-treat with anti stain and waterproof sprays such as Scotch Guard. Many bag owners also suggest using products such as John Lobb Lotion.
Always apply leather conditioners to a cloth rather than directly onto the leather. Only use the rain repellent after firstly conditioning the bag. Then apply the repellent in smooth continuous sweeping motions to avoid concentrated areas of product, which if uneven could stain a bag.
You may also like the restoration handbag services provided at Lovinmybags.com. Lovinmybags – specializes in handbag leather aftercare. They have developed their products for the delicate handbag leathers and they offer full handbag restoration services. They say they are seeing a lot of repairs needed because people have been using car leather polishes. Car leather polish has too high a pH and it strips off the finish on some leather bags. Anything to do with car or furniture care is not the best for today’s handbag leathers. Years ago it might not have been such an issue.
