I can see restoring it, I just can't see calling it "excellent condition".

what about this one? I wonder if anyone could rescue it? I'm not brave enough to try

^You would have to totally dye it over. I don't think water stains, once they settle in like that can be taken out.

I've never seen so many pictures on an eBay auction in my life!! LOL! What a great bag that must have been in it's hey-day!!

Odebdo · Mar 28th, 2009, 04:47 PM

I thought that was a ton of pictures....full disclosure on the sellers part I guess!

Micapu · Mar 28th, 2009, 06:35 PM

does it look like two types of leather were used? the lighter-parts look like more of a smooth-grain velvet/tag type leather, IMO. Or am I off the mark and it's an illusion because of how beat up the bag is?

I bet it was a really nice bag when it was new. Not even my most-abused leather bag looks that bad, I don't think I've ever had a bag that got that bad!!! And I've never been one to baby my handbags...

At least the seller is being honest and disclosing it all. If I knew how to sew leather, it'd make a great salvage project, right?

Dang that was a lot of pictures haahhahaha

That poor bag....where was it being carried to have that much water damage?

I'd heard of Katrina cars, but that was my first Katrina bag sighting.

So I was doing one of my daily ebay checks to see what new Tano's were listed and I came across this:

Is there any hope for that bag? I bet she was a beauty.

TygerKitty · Aug 13th, 2009, 08:42 PM

Eek... I don't think there's hope for that especially because it was/is metallic looking?

beeb · Aug 13th, 2009, 08:52 PM

A moment of silence for that Tano.

Voodoo · Aug 13th, 2009, 08:53 PM
