What type of leather? Holster leather? Upholstery? Shoes? | |||

It is actually for my wife’s purses. She has a few expensive purses that need to be “revitalized”. | |||

+1. Lexol makes a very good cleaner (orange bottle) and a conditioner in a brown bottle (or white bottle for light colored leather). | |||

Coach stores carry cleaner and polish for their purses. The lady of the house uses it regularly as the seasons change. Good Luck “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” -Theodore Roosevelt | |||

Another vote for Ballistol, used it on some leather chaps I had stored in the basement and Ballistol cleaned the white mold off completely and 6 months later they still look nearly new. I've stopped counting. | |||

So are you looking for a "conditioner" or a "cleaner"? There is some overlap but a conditioner can dramatically change the texture and appearance. Automotive products such as from The Chemical Guys are very good. But still pay attention to how much conditioning you want or need. | |||

It looks as if Legolas may be worth a shot. I appreciate the responses. | |||

Lexol cleaner is very good. I like their conditioner as well but it can darken leather. For conditioning leather I use bick 4. | |||

Venetian Shoe Cream is perfect for quality smooth leathers. Leaves a nice sheen to the leather when you buff it off and its gentle. If the leather is real dirty I use a little saddle soap and quickly wipe it off so the leather does not get to moist. https://www.amazon.com/Venetia...=venetian+shoe+cream JC | |||

I'll add Bick 4 ... condition, clean, polish, protect. Will not darken finished leather. 16FL.oz. lasts a.long.time. I haven't found a leather item in my home, Bick 4 isn't good for. https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod..._title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |||

Huberd's Shoe Grease, but she might not appreciate the pine tar campfire smell. | |||

I use Feibing’s Liquid Glycerine Saddle Soap for my saddle, other horse gear and boots. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

I've had great luck with Lexol cleaners on a lot of leather furniture. A buddy who does pro leatherwork gave me a small unlabeled sample of something else that worked great but ran out of that years ago. | |||

The following is based on my experience: This took green sharpie off of my saddleback bag:  Followed by this to add moisture back to it:  Start:  Cleaned:  Conditioner added:  All done:  Lesson learned, don't rub quite so hard, let the cleaner do the work. If I showed you the bag today, you wouldn't know it had green sharpie on it. | |||

You beat me to it. It's all I use, and is recommended by (and sold by) all of the several custom saddle makers here in town. When in doubt, mumble | |||
