Conditioning a Dry Leather Purse

What can I use to condition a leather purse that looks dry? I would like to use something that I already have in my home.

Mink oil works great to soften and protect leather. Saddlesoap is another good product to waterproof and protect leather.

You could try Olive Oil as well.

Thanks, I'll try that. I wondered if hand cream or something like that might work. I figured if it was safe for my hands it would be safe for my bag but I don't know. I didn't pay a fortune for this bag but it's a great shape and size. It just needs a little something to make it look better. Thanks so much for your help! I'll try that!

Vaseline works great! Just rub it on and use a dishtowel to wipe it off (Don't rub too hard though). It will soak into the purse nicely and your purse will be shiny, protected, and soft to the touch.
