Waterproofing spray for handbags?

[DillyDally]

I've noticed this has been mentioned on a couple of threads. I was given this bag in tan for my birthday (I love it, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, though ) and I want to spray it before I use it - what do you recommend, and where can I get it? (would prefer an actual shop rather than mail order).

I can't believe I don't know this sort of thing already

TIA

Clarks, Russell & Bromley and John Lewis all sell leather protector sprays and they work well on regular, treated leather bags.

Mulberry bags tend to be untreated leather (so very porous) and Collonil is recommended. I would use Collonil on all leather products but that's just because I have loads of the stuff already Any leather protector spray should be fine


ETA On such a light coloured bag, I'd give it a few generous coats of the spray, leaving the bag hanging overnight to dry between each spraying.

I was hoping you'd reply, Queen of Handbags thank you for the tips on application, too

I will go into Clarks tomorrow - can't believe I didn't think of going in there
