Restoring, refinishing, resurfacing?

Hi everybody!

In my new adventure of learning about leather, I took on a small side project.

I have a WWII era WAC purse- the replacement strap is on the way, but for now, I want to "freshen" up the leather.

Note the pics- the edges are worn a bit, and the color has come off.  These worn areas also feel slightly raw.

Online you see all of these "Miracle" creams to restore leather but I don't trust them.

What can I do to restore the color, and seal the raw worn edges?

ALSO :) the snap no longer catches.  Can I hammer the stud and force it to flare out so it catches again?  I don't want to take tools to this and destroy the purse.
