I used both on my jade Kimball when dunking, CPR and Renapur didn't completely restore the rubbed areas on the piping. I was hoping to avoid mixing acrylic paint colours to match the gorgeous shade of jade for a "colour refresh". It worked!

Quoting my own before picture to show the difference. This bag rehabbed beautifully. While would guess this baby is over 26 yrs old?
I know...doing a NYC Dinky at the moment and my mum says she cant believe that the bag is over 40 years old....just goes to show you the quality and ease that we can rehab some of these bags
Isn't that the truth! I've rehabbed two NYC Pocket Purses and they were some of my most impressive before and after.
You’ll fit in just fine here.
eta, please share how you slow down, always looking for pointers
Hello everyone,
Has anyone had any issues dunking an Ergo with Kiss lock? Mine arrived in the mail today and the interior is a hot mess.

Many Coach NYC era bags have short shoulder straps, which I found is not practical to use. I was waiting to find deals on substitute matching crossbody straps for several bags, but no luck yet. After seeing some other TPF members posting, I decided to give it a try on mix & match bag with strap...

Thanks for the information Katev. My Ergo is a different style. I should have attached a picture. If anyone has had experience with dunking this style, please let me know.
Can't wait to see the results of your rehab, I love this bag and colour! Haven't come across one on uk platforms though.
Duh! You said Kisslock but I was thinking Turnlock, sorry!
I've dunked and rehabbed 2 kisslock ergo bags and they both turned out well, see the links below for my tan patent ergo.

She’s finally dry!
And the pen marks all came out once I dunked and lightly scrubbed with a toothbrush!
I was expecting those pen marks to be more of a challenge.. was already planning to try that Debi the restorer cuticle remover trick… really glad I didn’t have to haha
One of the pen marks was a little more stubborn on the front of the bag and I think I scrubbed too much and actually lifted off some of the dye
I think it’s not that noticeable to others (but it’s noticeable to me
) I ordered some Angelus leather paint in English tan and I might go over that section and along some of the piping.. or I might just leave it and call it character

Interesting, your bag does not have leather encasing your metal frame of the Kisslock. My frame is encased in leather and that's what I'm concerned about.

Maybe it is only the patent Ergo bags from that era that don't have a leather covering on the frame. Here's the other one that I rehabbed and it was a black patent Ergo kisslock 12520

I think that this is the first entirely patent leather bag that I have rehabbed. I've probably done some rehabs that had patent trim before but this bag is all patent and it got the full treatment because it was filthy - especially the interior. I gave it a bath and scrubbed and scrubbed and...

This isn't an Ergo, it's a Rose Legacy Bridget, but it is from the same era and it has a leather covering over the kisslock frame. I gave it a bath and it came out fine:

Here is my most recent rehab project. It's a bag that I dug out from my long-neglected rehab pile because I wanted to create an unexpected gift for a friend. My friend has had a tough time during the last year because her industry quickly shut down when the pandemic hit. She lost her job and...

Katev, thank you so much for sharing your experience! This has given me the courage to go ahead and dunk this bag along with the others. I'm excited and look forward to tomorrow! Once again, thank you!
