I’m anxious to see the natural patina that builds on this bag as I continue to use it. What particular methods/products do you all use on your vachetta or other veg-tanned leather products? We’d love to hear your routines. 👍

I use a lot of Bick 4 in general because it conditions pretty well and doesn't darken at all.

I have used coconut oil on my vachetta leather good. Not just any coconut oil. Must be organic, and very thin coat and wipe off completely.

Great video, now I know how to care for my wife’s handbags, and she learned a lot to, thanks

Who better to give instruction on leather care. Very good sir, I look forward to the next installment.

Just got my brown Palissy today. Came here to get tips to keep it beautiful.

This was a great video. I have several pieces in vachetta, and while I love it, I now realize I’ve been using the wrong products on it. I wish I’d found you years ago.

Thanks for this. I have some Mulberry natural veg tan leather so helpful for those too 🙂

Thanks for this video. I have the Palissy Double briefcase in that same color and love it.

That's a beautiful brief bag! Amazing!

Excellent vid as usual. The shop I buy my products didim't have the Napa cream but had Crème délicate from Saphir. Did a perfect job also and didin't darken the leather

Can you provide links to the conditioner and spray? Ive got Vegetable-tanned shoes and a bag that I've been wondering how to clean and maintain. This video was perfect. Excellent work!

Definitely helped out. Thank you!

You're an excellent teacher regarding the proper care of good leathers. I am so happy for you that they gave you such a beautiful bag.

Thank you very much for this guide!!

This was the perfect video I have a veg tan Helen Welsh purse. Knew it needed care and this was spot on. One question how would I remove ball point pen on the leather. I oopsed and got a blue line on it

What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for using leather from one of our associated tanneries (Artigiano del Cuoio). Can we share this content on our social media account? Thanks

Trent, does the spray protection inhibit the next application of conditioning??

Would Saphir Mink Oil be good to use as well? why would I choose Nappa over Mink Oil if so?

Leather has to be treated at home before the first use .

100% agree. 👍

How should I go about caring for a vachetta lining on a pair of boots? I already use cedar shoe trees.

Would this protection prohibit or extend how long it takes for the natural patina to build?

Any product recommendation to make veg-tanned horsehide softer? Thanks.

How do you know when your leather is ready for a reapplication of the conditioner and protectant?

You guys make great content. I’m curious how many of those nice button down shirts have been ruined by polish/blood/other lol Also would you recommend this advice for veg tan leather boots?

Great information

I have a bag like this. I have only used bag balm (that famous collab of lanolin + vaseline) and rubbing/buffing it for cleaning. Is that bad to do over time?

Hi Trent.I Just picked up a pair of brown loafers at the salvation Army with a type of woven pattern on the uppers . I'm using the knowledge you've imparted on us now when looking for shoes at thrift stores. I was wondering what would be the best way to polish them without getting excess polish in the crevices. A Brush or a cloth ? I think these will be great for summer. Also curious as to what kind of hair products you use to keep your hair so impeccably styled.

Great video

Hey guys, how is it going? I'm wondering if you guys have tried saphir vegetable tanned leather conditioner and how's the comparison with saphir nappa cream? thank you!

So I have this same bag and I accidentally sprayed too much invulner on it and it stained my bag and it has this white residue on it. What is the best way to clean this off without damaging my bag? Thanks!

Has Heath ever done a video on people wanting to get into leather working/boot making? Oh and ya’ll definitely need to watch the weird “thief and the cobbler” movie

I recently bought on ebay a Bree tan leather pouch. It's vintage as they say. And there's 2 or 3 light stains and a few light scratches from use of course. I want to try and get it clean. But I'm not sure what to use. I have Apple Brand Leather cleaner and I have Bickmore saddle soap plus. The plus part being lanolin. The Bree website does have care instructions but, I don't speak german. I just want to make it look as good as possible without darkening it too much past it's somewhat light honey color. What would you suggest?

Left strap is magic!

I have a boot question, and possibly a pair of boots to send for repair. I bought a pair of Nicks Boots, customs because I have different size feet. They fit like a glove! But I can't wear them for more than an hour so in turn cannot break them in. No one looked at my arches when measuring my feet, not did they tell me about the extremely high arch in Nick's Boots. I there a way to lower the arch at all? Or to make it not so... Sharp? It's a shame to have a $500 pair of boots thatI can't sell (custom fit) and can't even break in

How often to condition

What leather brushes and polish applicators do you prefer? The thumbnail shows you with a long bristle horsehair brush, who makes the best?

@TrentonHeath

As far as horsehair brushes go, we have ours made for us in Germany. They’re very high quality. As far as applicators go, we sometimes use dauber brushes, as well as apply creams with old shirts wrapped around our fingers.

I got the bowen backpack in this exact color. The dye is coming off when rain drops on it and made my pants and hands yellow. Is this normal for this particular type of leather? How do I fix this problem please.

So helpful. I just bought a vegetable tanned bag. The leather isn't as smooth as the bag you prepared in the video. It has more grain to it. Do you think the products you used would work for a bag with more grain as well? I'm guessing they would?

Yes no problem. Saphir Nappa is a good conditioner and will work for all leather.

How often to you recommend treating with a protector spray. I use Tarrago Nano on my dress shoes and nice sneakers, but only about once a year. Some sit in the closet for a long while, too. I don’t treat my casual shoes and boots, but should I use the spray on them after conditioning, too?

@TrentonHeath

3 жыл бұрын

Every now and then, flick some water drops onto the leather. If it beads up and doesn’t absorb into the leather, it’s still protecting. If it absorbs, allow those drops to dry and then apply more weatherproofing spray. As far as your shoes go, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to spray them.

You can really tell that they both take moisturizing very seriously... they look super young

Do you need to buff out the conditioner with a brush on these kind of leathers?

@TrentonHeath

Nope. Simply wipe over it to buff it off.

how cute! 5:23 he calls Jojoba oil 'joe-joeba oil'. Its pronounced 'HO-HOBA OIL'. I did the same thing when I was in sales and we used jojoba in our products, but my manager then told me how to correctly pronounce the plant's name.

I passed on this one..went straight to the ASMR FLORSHIEM .I crave action.

What do you mean when you say that this leather is “untreated”? Aren’t the tanning and dying and finishing process “treatment”? What “treatments” are used on lower-quality leathers?

@TrentonHeath

3 жыл бұрын

Dyeing the leather isn’t treating the leather. It’s merely a color being applied to the leather. Natural Veg tanned is strictly the tanning process using plant based tannin; unlike chrome dyed leathers which use chemicals to treat the leather. Some veg tanned leather goes on to receive oils and other additives, like English bridle leathers. Vachetta is basically a creamy white veg tanned leather. This allows for the leather to develop its own patina. Louis Vuitton uses a lot of undyed vachetta leather on many of their bags. I hope this answer helps.

Skip to 4:05 minutes to avoid infomercial. (Leather care tips after that aren’t bad.)

The stitching is a little wonky. As much as I love nice leather. The fact that the stitching imperfections stand out from a distance on that shot where it’s next to a desk is very 😬

How about more shoe repair and less ads. Where is the real cobbler.

The color of that leather is very feminine
