When you purchase anything made out of leather, you're pretty much signing a life agreement to tend to a very precious piece of fabric. Its material is very sensitive and honestly doesn't age very well if it's not taken care of correctly. I mean, you and I both know that you probs dropped a good amount of dollar bills for your leather bag, jacket, or shoes—with that said, a high price tag comes with some maintenance. I don't make the rules! So, if your high-quality leather item needs some dire TLC, I've come to the rescue and gathered the best leather conditioner that'll bring your treasure back to life.
A lil lesson on leather conditioners if this is your first time ever hearing about them: Its purpose is to revive, restore, and protect. Whether it's made of a thick, waxy formula or it's a slick oil, all you gotta do is massage it onto your item, let it sit for a good amount of time (some may take longer to work in than others), and the job's done! Much easier than taking care of a plant, IMO.
