A Review on Kiwi Leather Lotion
One of the best parts of designer handbags and accessories is the luxurious leathers they come in. And of course with high quality leather, comes high maitenance. But the good news is that there are plenty of great leather products out there that will help prevent any damage to your bags, including Kiwi Leather Lotion. For specific product information, here is the official description of what this formula is all about:
KIWI Leather Lotion is formulated to gently clean as it replenishes the oils for all finished leathers. After use, KIWI Leather Lotion leaves behind a soft lustre. KIWI Leather Lotion keeps leather articles looking new longer, and helps prevent leather from dying and cracking.
So, does Kiwi’s product really live up to what it says? Well, the other day I picked up a bottle from my local Wal-Mart. I decided that I would give it a try on the cow hide of my LV Speedy, with the intention of conditioning and darkening the leather handles and trim. At first I was a bit nervous to try it because there is no going back if it were to mess up my bag. With that said, I decided to test a spot on the inside of my bag because it really wouldn’t matter if something “went wrong” since no one sees the interior. I put a small drop on a peper towel, and worked it gently into the leather. The tester came out so well, that I felt confident enough to do ALL of the leather. So I did.
And what were the results? The leather is amazing after using this. It darkened to a nice honey shade, and any little cracks or wrinkles are completely hydrated now. I was able to acheive what I wanted, which was a darker patina and conditioned leather. And I couldn’t be more satisfied with this product. I am even going to use it on my other leather bags because I know they will turn out great!
Find Kiwi Leather Lotion at Kiwicare.com or at your local Wal-Mart.

Wait you used this on the oxidizing leather part? I thought LV always say to never but anything on it and let it darken by itself.
I was told at a boutique here in Hamburg that the best thing to use on leather is Nivea handcream. The one in the round blue tin. I wonder which one is cheaper?

^^^^ @ Gusto, uhm what? Not a good idea, lol.
Not familiar with this product. It would be nice maybe next time if you had some pictures. Like before and after application.

Here is the website.
^^^^ @ Louis Vuitton Beauty, Why not? Skin is skin. LOL What I find humorous though is that humans initially used leather to PROTECT the things the had bundle up inside because the leather was durable. Now many of us are spending beaucoup dollars on protecting the leather. Ironic, huh? :-)
I have used this product and think it is great.
I am a big fan of buying the products rather than using home solutions. We pay good money for our bags so paying a little to keeping them looking great makes sense.
