I’m annoyed at my leather handbag straps cracking or wearing down so fast. It makes the whole bag look ready to toss. How do you manage/condition these? Can’t replace straps every time.

For work bags that get a lot of wear you have two options for leather (IMO):
1. Pebbled leather and take care of it. Meaning pretreat, clean, and CONDITION every month or two.
2. Saffiano leather which is chemical and heat treated to be far more durable (it looks like leather with a clear coat on it)

In my experience if you beat your work bag up (i certainly do) nothing holds up that well

Before someone says leather ones don’t crack, I got these bags from Henry Bendels, so they’re def leather. They crack up like cheap ones from Target.

Henry bender was so expensive, Amazon probably destroyed them.
