This is the absolute best for old leather. I don’t think I’ll use anything else on older (pre-loved Louis Vuittons) from now on. It works on really dried out (as in cardboard dry) leather. The trick is to not flex it too much when it’s cracked and dry. Just put this stuff on over time, and when the leather seems to be softening up, then it’s okay to use. It won’t be like new, it will still have cracks, but it will be okay unless it’s broken into two, then it’s probably beyond conditioning and needs replacing. I used this on an old keepall with dried vachetta and it works. I can use the bag. It’s a little darker at first and then lightens up, it has an odor like crisco lol I don’t worry about it snapping into two pieces. I have actively used the bag for travel and it’s fine. It’s good to put this stuff on periodically, to retain the moisture. I also use it on a backpack and it improved the dryness immensely. It can also be used on patent leather and it even takes away some of the stickiness.

The very best product to Care for my kangaroo whip!

I've got a 100+ year old leather salesmen's bag that was getting pretty dried out. If I'd let it go much longer it was going to start breaking off the leather handle straps and cracking all over. I bought this tub and used most of it to "over" treat this bag. I cleaned it with a damp microfiber towel first. Let it dry. Using a different microfiber towel I started working this stuff in. I did this twice over a full day. The second coat I put on super thick and let it set overnight in a warm area. Next morning I wiped off what hadn't been soaked into the leather. Not the exact way the instructions tell you to do it but I'll tell you what, that bag is soft and flexible again. I treated it back in Dec 2022 and haven't done it again. Bag is still flexible and looking great 7 months later. I even bought another tub and used it on the leather seats of all my cars. Works great. Just use less on the seats. Don't want it to come off on what you're wearing. LOL
