I need a little bit of advise from the balenciaga experts.
while i'm talking it up in the ioffer thread looking for a replica....i DO own a real Balenciaga Twiggy in white.
My twiggy was getting a little yellowish/off white from using it so often, that my sweetheart of a boyfriend decided he was going to surprise me and get it professionally cleaned somewhere. So he did....and I let him because I thought it was a nice gesture and he knew how much I liked the bag.
So he spent a lot of money to have it professionally cleaned....what he didnt do, was tell me what [if any] affects this might have on the bag. I know he took it to a good place, because other friends of mine have had their designer bags cleaned here...only thing is, their bags werent as soft as my balenciaga.
I broke this baby in to the point that it felt like pure buttery mush...and I loved it that way.
One wek later my Balenciaga twiggy returns to me....Beautiful crisp white. Only problem was, the bag now FELT crisp as well. This happened 2 months ago, and I still havent brought myself to use it. My boyfriend feels like e did something wrong by having it cleaned for me. And I'm not mad, just dissapointed that the dyes and cleaning stiffened up the leather so much.
anywho, long story short (hahah, to late)....what can I do to soften the bag back up (besides just carrying it from day to day), are there any products I can use on the leather? Or maybe I should just roll around on top of it for a while and hope that my body weight makes it mushy again (heheh, just kidding.....kinda)
any tips would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
