Cleaning leather handbag

I bought a tan leather handbag from Fatface at the beginning of the summer and it’s got really grubby looking, so much so that I wish I had stuck with synthetic!
Can anyone suggest a good leather cleaner that will lessen the dirt before too ingrained? Am loathe to try vinegar, toothpaste and other such suggestions! It would seem babywipes can spoil the colour. Plenty of products on Amazon but since they are mainly about £15 and often for sofas, I thought I would ask on here first before spending on any particular ones.
Many thanks

  • I got a Wheelers leather cleaning spray for my sofas (spotted it in TKMaxx for about £3) and thought I would give it a go on my elderly Radley purse. Whilst it hasn't brought it up quite like new, it has vastly the improved the look of it, as well as bringing quite a lot of grime off it!

    Focus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.
  • Saddle soap is great - leather really does need regular cleaning.
