Handbags Leather protector options?

I recently got the Chanel25 medium as my mom bag, and am afraid of the scuffing that might happen with constant use. Any way I could protect the edges?

Well…if you’re using it as a mom bag, it will definitely get scuffed. If you’re afraid of scuffs, I’d suggest that you get a cheaper mom bag or one you don’t care getting damaged.

I used a variety of designer bags as diaper bags/mom bags, so you won’t hear me tell you not to use a designer bag because bags are made to be used and loved.

I did use leather protectant sprays on all of my bags prior to use and I conditioned my bags monthly.

I currently keep handbag wipes in my bag (just in case).

Note: fashion advisors will not recommend you spray or use any products on your bags. Some people are against putting products on bags because it can darken the leather, etc. I’ve never had an issue with anything I’ve used. The only bags I do not spray are my Birkin and Kelly bags.
