Protection

I was running a little late to class yesterday. In one hand I had my notebook, and in the other was a delicious honey mustard ham and cheese sandwich. I was walking briskly while trying to sneak in bites of my sandwich, and I spilled honey mustard on my coat, pants, and shoes. I was cool about it, as clothes can just be washed...but then I realized I was wearing velvet shoes. Anything velvet is incredibly hard to take care of and maintain. I tried rubbing the stains out, but that only made them worse and damaged the nap of the velvet. I went to the cobbler and he said he could not do anything about my shoes, but he handed me a care product to protect against any future clumsiness. I did a quick google search and the reviews were decent so I decided to try it out. Hoping this stuff is stronger than Scotchgard...

Kiwi All-Protector

The intoxicating smell of chemicals

If you are looking for a product to protect your leather bags, I would advise against using Kiwi. I have heard some horror stories about bags getting darkened from Kiwi. Use Collonil instead! I use it on all my bags.
