It gave my vintage Dooney purse a new life

This was the first time Ive tried this Saddle Soap product & wow, I didn’t realize how much of a difference it can make when I am renewing a vintage purse! It cleans the leather really well, while keeping it moisturized. It made one of my Dooney purses look like the day it was purchased, when I thought it was ruined because of the splatter marks down the whole back of the purse. It removed all of the splatter marks & it made the green color of the leather much richer looking instead of the dull, dusty looking green it had become. It really helped give this purse a new life!

Sometimes you just need to clean your grimy purse.

My husband saw my grimy Hobo bag - especially the handle - yuck. He said I needed saddle soap. Ours from 30 years ago was dried out - go figure. I knew the one company that would have somethign that worked for a reasonable price and ordered it. It cleaned up that old bag! :)

Easy to work with

Bought this to replace my decade old tin of saddle soap from a competitor that had rusted out. The container is plastic, so you don't have to worry about it rusting out. The soap spreads on easy and comes off easy with a little water. Great product.

Leather and Saddle Soap

Overall is great, been using it to clean my girlfriends vintage Louis Vuitton bags/wallets. She loves the results!!! Be sure that your boots or bags must be leather condition for at least a day prior to using this product. Also to leather condition again after you use this great product...

Leather and Saddle Soap

Overall experience with the specific items was good. I have only used the saddle soap once, today, so I'm waiting for the shoes to be thoroughly dry before applying the tan shoe wax. I'm not sure if I should use the Lustre Cream and then the shoe wax or just one or the other.

Great leather cleaner.

I've cleaned several shoes using this, and it rocks. I'm new at shoe shining so I did my research. This was a top choice for leather. I was not disappointed. Neither will you.

Bought for a bootblack kit donation

I have used this saddle soap before, and loved it. It lathers up easily, and rinses cleanly. I recommend this for all new bootblacks.
