GLOW CONDITIONER XL – Leather Conditioner for Handbags

GLOWBAG was developed specifically for cleaning and caring for high-quality handbags and is inspired by skincare. As in a skincare routine, cleaning and care are two separate steps: the water-based GLOW CLEANER lifts surface dirt from suitable materials. Then GLOW CONDITIONER cares for suitable genuine leather and keeps it supple.

Rather than offering one universal solution for as many leather goods as possible, GLOWBAG is guided by the different materials of high-quality handbags, because smooth leather, grained leather and coated canvas have different cleaning and care needs.

GLOWBAG is suitable for many smooth and grained handbag leathers such as lambskin, calfskin or caviar leather. You can also use GLOW CLEANER on coated canvas, patent leather and synthetic surfaces. GLOW CONDITIONER is intended only for genuine leather.

GLOWBAG care products are not suitable for suede, nubuck, velour, highly porous leather or exotic leathers such as crocodile, snake or ostrich leather. If you’re unsure about the material, test GLOWBAG on an inconspicuous area first.

Yes, GLOWBAG is also suitable for many vintage handbags. What matters most is the material and its condition, less the age of the bag.

So with vintage bags, check before use what leather or material it is and whether the surface is still intact. On suitable smooth and grained leathers, GLOW CLEANER can lift surface dirt and GLOW CONDITIONER can then care for the leather and keep it supple. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Important: patina is preserved. Deeply absorbed stains, discolouration or existing material damage cannot always be removed by care.

GLOWBAG can be used carefully on evenly patinated Louis Vuitton Vachetta leather. It’s important to always treat a continuous area of leather evenly and not just clean individual spots. Because Vachetta can absorb moisture quickly, GLOW CLEANER should be applied with a soft cloth rather than directly onto the leather. Use only a small amount of GLOW CONDITIONER and then let the leather air-dry for at least 12, ideally 24 hours.

New, still very light Vachetta is particularly sensitive to moisture. Here we don’t recommend treating it with GLOW CLEANER or GLOW CONDITIONER. A protector suitable for Vachetta is the better choice.

The natural patina is preserved. After treatment, Vachetta can darken slightly and permanently. Deeply absorbed stains may also remain.

How often you should clean and care for your handbag depends on the material, use and condition. A bag you carry often usually needs more attention than one you use only now and then. So clean and care for suitable leather as needed rather than on a fixed schedule.

A GLOW DUO leather care set with 100 ml each of GLOW CLEANER and GLOW CONDITIONER is enough for about 20 to 30 complete applications, depending on the size of the bag and the amount of product used. That lets you clean and care for several handbags over a longer period.

And if you care for a pair of leather sandals in between: there’s enough for that too, of course.
