The lady at RAM Leather told me that Tina Turner sends all of her leather to them for cleaning and maintenance so I guess I have to trust them. lol |
How neat!

Buddy Belt officially recommends treating the harnesses, especially the Natural. However, I have never treated Max and Teddy's, and they wear them in all kinds of weather. Lisa, I though of you and Katie recently when we were caught in a rain storm and the boys' BBs came home soaking wet. No damage.
The most important thing to remember is not to subject them to artificial or intense heat or the leather will shrink. One person dried hers on a radiator and another put the harness in the back window of a car. Both shrunk.
Lisa, thank you for all of your kind and generous posts here and on other threads regarding my boutique and the BB.

It darkened the leather a bit & I really love the look of it now. I was going for the "Louis Vuitton" patina & I think I came pretty close. Here are some before & after pictures:
