Is there a way to restore leather purses and shoes?

I took my leather handbag out of storage and it began to deteriorate. Is there something I can apply to leather before it starts shedding its finish?

Yes I repaired a leather steering wheel and love the difference. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332170621914

Mink oil is a great conditioner for leather.

I know you can get leather conditioner but I'm not sure it can fix the deterioration. You can also use baby oil to condition leather. My husband uses it on the leather in our car.

Back to the original question. I asked a couple of people for their recommendations and both mentioned this product:

Hope this helps you Gail, I had never used one so wanted to get additional information for you.
