Guess who got the yucky marron bag?

[betises_lau]

...me. I must be crazy.

I got the conclusion 06 marron and 06 truffle are not the color I want: 06 marron is too black for me and I have seen weird truffles. So I pressed the bid now button on a 2004 marron City with filthy handles. No one overbid me. I won.

Here's what I'll do. I've been riding horses and I know how to clean a saddle. This bag is going to have to prove she's worth her price. She will get the shock treatment: saddle soap and a brush. She'll have to be a man, you see. Let's see if she has guts.

Wish me good luck ladies, for I really intend to clean the sh* out of it. Hope I won't regret spending those 800 $... I am crazy. I am nuts. I am worried about what I just did.

it was item 260001005792. At least the seller seems to know what she's doing.

Wow congrats! I don't think you are crazy, the bag is beautiful (appart from the handles of course but that's a minor problem) Good luck with the cleaning and let us know how it goes!

You're not crazy at all! Marron is such a beautiful colour and I'm sure you'll be able to do something to clean the handles

I wish you well,

Bridget

You know what- you will fix the handles!!! If you can't do it yourself then take her to a good repair place! There have been recommendations on the PF in the past!

Congrats! It is a beautiful bag and the leather is awesome!

awe, betises-girl, i'm so happy you've rescued her ...just give her a little TLC & some saddle soap & she'll be fine!!!

 

[betises_lau]

Thanks Zacorey!!! I am determined to get this solved!!!



I like the subtitle to your avatar, btw. My mom used to work in a department of my city's university for autistic children, so i've always had a soft spot for this issue.

The color is so gorgeous on this bag, and you will be able to clean those handles, I just know it!! You go girl and let us know what happens!
