Invisible protection, whatever the weather
Keep your luxury handbags, shoes and accessories safer from spills and stains with our Water & Stain Guard.
- Invisible barrier - helps create a protective, invisible layer against stains, water and oil build-up from everyday use
- Multi-surface protection - for leather, suede, canvas and fabric, designed for your most cherished luxury items
- Safe and gentle - silicone- and solvent-free, with a pH-neutral formula that does not compromise the beauty or texture of delicate materials
- Long-lasting - a highly concentrated formula, so a little goes a long way
How to use
Before first use: our bottles are airless, so a little air can be trapped inside during transit. Hold the bottle upright and press the top steadily - it usually takes around five pumps before the formula begins to flow. Keep it vertical while you do this, as an angled bottle will not release the air and may drip.
Shake the bottle well before use. The method is not the same for every material.
- Smooth leather (lambskin, calfskin, caviar, vachetta, patent, Togo, Epi, Empreinte, woven leather and exotics, plus coated canvas such as LV Monogram and Damier) - spray two to three times onto an Application Mitt or a clean, dry towel, then work over the surface in light, even passes, section by section. Never spray smooth leather directly, as a droplet sitting on a finished surface can leave a water mark as it dries.
- Suede, nubuck, uncoated canvas and fabric - hold the bottle 20-30cm away and spray a fine, even mist, keeping your hand moving so no one area takes more than another. Do not saturate.
Wipe off any excess with a clean cloth if needed. Allow to dry fully, then apply a second light coat. Two light coats will always outperform one heavy one. Allow the item to dry completely before use. On suede, lift the nap gently with a suede brush once dry.
Reapply after heavy rain, after cleaning, or roughly every three months in regular use.
Test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
Perfect for
- Leather - smooth, grained, patent, vachetta and exotics
- Suede and nubuck
- Coated and uncoated canvas
- Fabric and embroidery
Refill and save: each Refill Pouch fills your bottle twice, for less than replacing it. Choose the Bottle and Refill Pouch together for the best value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Shipping
Every order is despatched from England within 1-3 business days. Delivery times, costs and any free shipping offer for your country are on our shipping page.
Will it change the colour or texture of my bag?
It is designed not to. The formula is silicone- and solvent-free and pH-neutral, and dries invisibly. As with any delicate finish, test in an inconspicuous area first and allow it to dry fully before judging.
Can I spray it straight onto leather?
Smooth leather is wiped on, not sprayed. Spray two to three times onto an Application Mitt or clean towel and work over in light, even passes, because a droplet sitting on a finished surface can leave a water mark as it dries. Coated canvas such as LV Monogram and Damier takes the mitt too. Suede, nubuck, uncoated canvas and fabric are misted from 20-30cm.
How often should I reapply?
After heavy rain, after cleaning, or roughly every three months in regular use. Two light coats, each fully dried, give the best protection.
Does it protect against colour transfer?
It helps. The barrier helps prevent colour transfer from clothing, as well as watermarks and stains. For transfer that has already happened, our Cleansing Wipes are the one to reach for.
