Wilsons Leather & Suede Protector - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

Along with the excitement after purchasing a brand spankin' new designer bag comes worry and the fear of getting it dirty, especially when you've spent a bundle. And although we should just use our bags and enjoy them without carrying those anxieties on dirtying them, many of us just can't. So our beautiful bags end up staying in their boxes and dustbags unable to come out and play.

Well, recently I purchased the Louis Vuitton Lockit Horizontal. As soon as I got it, I was so worried about all of that white vachetta because there is a lot of it! And what especially stressed me out was the leather bottom. My first thought was "how in the world am I going to keep all of that leather clean???" I mean, after spending all of that money there was no way I was going to let dirt, stains, and water get on the surface of the delicate vachetta scattered all over my new baby.'

So, I finally decided to try Wilsons Leather and Suede Protector, after hearing about it from tBFer and blogger, Deysa. Anyways, I bought the biggest can they had for 10 bucks at my local Wilsons store. The employee at the store told me to spray it twice with 20 minutes in between each spray. And he said that would be good for about 6 months. So I followed through with exactly what he said. The end result left me amazed. I sprayed my bag a lot and the vachetta turned dark for about 5 seconds and it dried so quickly back to its original white-looking state. And the other night, I brought my Lockit out for the first time and I accidentally got a few drops of water on the handles. But there were no water marks to be found!!! I am totally impressed with this product and for $10, its worth every penny! So there is no need to worry anymore with Wilsons Leather & Suede Protector.

Does this product take the shine away? Because I loooove my new shiney bubble pink balenciaga, and don't want the shine to go away. I've heard that some protectant products don't change the color, but DO take the shine away.
Thanks!

I've sprayed my Balenciaga with this as well, and it's still has the shiny distressed look that I love...

I've used the suede protectant on some bags and it's amazing!

during the first shipping wave of the LP sample sale, a couple of girls used the wilsons vs apple garde to see which was best. using the sample leather tags they sprayed half on each, the apple significantly affected the color and sheen of the bags, but the wilsons was great. even after multiple coats!
