When used on white leather, will the leather be darkened?

My white leather Miu Miu tote and light pink bag was not darkened from use. However I would advise against using it on ragged or damaged corners and scrapes on the bag. The corner of my wallet was somewhat darkened by the leather care but the rest of it was unaffected.

It actually depends on the leather/dye. I have used it on my Coach Legacy and Madison bags without any change. I used it on my D&B; Florentine and LV bags on untreated vachetta and it did darken the leather. I hope this helps.

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.

It's just the lighting. I'm sure there are variations in the bonded leather but mine looks fairly dark.

It will darken the color. Once it sets completely it has a nice waxy feel, but this can cause a slight stickyness. For this reason I began using Fiebing's Golden Mink Oil, which I highly recommend. The mink oil causes some darkening too.

I have light gray leather on my car and after 3 months of sporadic use of this seat cover, I do see the black rubbing off on my leather seats. I cleaned the seats with a leather cleaner and the discoloration came off but I've stopped using the seat cover and is looking for a replacement.

It depends how bad the fading is. Chaces are that it will help, as all leather needs to be moisturized.

No the leather will remain just as it was, it might discolor it slightly to a darker shade. They recommend to try it on a hidden spot first. I haven't noticed any color change myself.

Yes it will. They will show up dark. Try using them on a small piece of dark fabric and see if you like the results. I actually painted an area of dark fabric with the pearl white to keep the color I wanted true. Enjoy!! I really like these colors and I have used them on silks, cottons and wool.

My leather seats are a light grey and they did not darken after I used the product. I found it to just clean them up and that made them brighter.

Hi JS, absolutely! The product is clear and won't impact the color of white leather. That said, we always recommend a spot test in a discreet area. Thanks!

I was concerned about exactly the same thing. Our furniture is in our living room and i didn't want to mess it up! I contacted Chamberlain Customer Service and this was their reply: "Yes, Furniture Treatment No. 5 is fine for use on color-dyed leather. You shouldn't have a problem as long as the color-dyed leather has been properly sealed. With lighter colored leathers, especially highly absorbent soft leathers, No. 5 can darken them. We don't recommend using Furniture Treatment No. 5 on extremely soft-type leathers or suede." Still I was a bit nervous because my couches are soft leather, but a neutral tan color. It brought out the rich color of the leather which I was really pleased with! I would try it in a inconspicuous spot like all these people tell us! Good Luck!

It probably depends on the type and treatment of the material. Leather Honey did not darken our brown leather couch & ottoman.

No and no. I have used it on dark and light leather and it does not seem to do anything more than give the leather a shine.

The color will lighten up eventually as the oils begin to wear out of the leather. This oil will darken light and worn leather because the oil penetrates into the leather.

If there are no stains or damage visible just thoroughly remove the dust and you're all set. Keep in mind if this leather is very dark or black go ahead. If it's a lighter color then be prepared for the color to darken. Leather Honey is terrific but I use a totally different leather cream on lighter leathers.

I have used it on light gray and light tan. I love it. I have used it for years and it is very good for the leather. If the leather is shiny a light buff is nice but not necessary. It will work with bonded leather as well. I probably have used it on a white leather jacket but I can't be sure. I would test but I can not see a reason you would have a problem.

I am using it on white aneline leather. It's working well with no discoloration problems.

As with all leather treatments, try a small amount on one area first. Bicks has never darkened any leather boots that I have, but your boots' finish may be different.
