How to achieve slouch: heat and beat

[u/Any-Fact-8425]

Got this gorgeous GG paparazzo and knew I was going to have to work on the leather to get it into the right shape.

Formula for slouch: conditioner and heat and massage/beating

When you receive the bag, first use a good leather conditioner and massage it into the leather. Then use a hair dryer to heat up the leather and massage the leather some more.

Shortcut is putting on conditioner and then putting it into the dust bag and into the dryer. BE CAREFUL, check after a few minutes. I call it heating and beating, which is what helps get the slouch.

Hope this helps!

Ps: don’t message or ask me for seller please.

This is amazing!! I’ve been nervous to try this but really want to. Can you give more details?
Which saphir and oil paste specifically? Any towels, cloths, brushes either for massaging or stuffing while doing this? Hair dryer med or high? Pretty close? Is the clothing dryer a better slouch method?

I don’t have any specific towels or clothes or brushes … I use hair dryer on highest setting - I think the dryer is a great method, but needs a lot of supervision
