Can I use on a leather carrying bag which is new&gt; I want the bag to look darker and have a more broke in look, along with protection.

Yes you should be able to do that. I used it on a pair of brown boots and it made them a darker color after applying it.

Never tried it on leather. My suggestion is to try a little bit on a place that is not noticeable like the underside. It will probably be fine.

It should not darken leather, but as the directions state, you have to check a small area first. I use it on two pair of light brown cowboy boots (I have nine pair of cowboy boots and all but two which are suede get this product) and it has not darkened the leather at all. I also have used it on multiple pairs of Red Wing boots (the ones made in USA, not their import products), and none of them have darkened from using it. However, as to the Red Wing boots, I send them to Red Wing for re-soling, and the last pair they oiled, which does slightly darken the leather.

Yes but it may darken the leather on new boots. Try a spot on the tongue you can't see and let it dry. Can't use on suede or fur. Has to be smooth leather. Great product for leather.

I didn't notice any difference, but I have only used it on darker leather. Hope this helps

I use the Bick 5 on my leather furniture and it has not changed the color of my furniture or harmed the leather in any way. Maybe do a follow up question with the person that told you know and find out why they are saying no.

No it will not darken leather. I've used Bick's products for over 20 years, they are superior!

My advice for what it is worth: Since my fiasco with Black Jacket (it kept coming off the leather and staining my clothing, chairs, etc.), I have learned quite a bit about various types of leather and leather jackets. My suggestion would be to try Pecard's leather conditioning on a small area that is not visible and see if it helps. The Pecard's might temporarily darken the leather a little but it eventually should return to normal. If you use Pecard's, follow the directions -- you are supposed to let it soak into the leather for at least 24 hours, if I recall correctly. If the black stuff is coming off the jacket now (try scraping a fingernail across it), don't use anything. Instead, bring it to a professional leather cleaners and they probably will have to clean it before you do any kind of treatment. For further research, check a web site forum called the "Fedora Lounge." In the section on outwear, they have a lot of information about leather jacket issues. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have an Ona Camera Bag and it did not darken the leather. At first it appears to, but when it dries, it just looks clean.

I am not sure but...I think it is the dye on new leather. Still like the bag.

I would check with a leather person. I am not sure about "unfinished" leather

Hi Greg:I used this product on two of my sweetie's leather purses; one white and one dark brown. I did not notice any discoloration on the two purses. If these Docker's are the light color of boat shoes, you might try applying a small amount on a portion of the tongue of one shoe and see how it performs.Good luck and I hope this helps you. It is a superb product.

You could. It would likely soak the leather in wax which will have a permanent preserving and aesthetic change.

I do not know if it changes the color or not. So far I have only used it on dark leather.

It will soften the leather ! I use it once a week to keep looking new and soft!

I agree with Capt. Kevin. I have never had it "ruin" anything so if it were my Coach bag, I would not hesitate to try it, but just to be safe... do as the good Capt. suggests and try an inconspicuous area first. Is the bag a suede type of leather -- open pored? If so, I would *not* try it as any liquid will only absorb further into that type of leather. Get a cleaner specifically for suede leather. But if it is a smooth leather, I would definitely use Meguiars.

It is perfect for preservation ! It does darken non glossy leather . I mean real leather . If the swede leather you have is finished and shiny ...it won't darken it
