Well, I am going to give it a try...just bought this, my “new” $30 rehab bag. Hopefully it is not in rougher shape than I think, but all the pics in the listing are clear and in daylight... :lol: View attachment 4937344View attachment 4937345

Good luck with the project! I´m sure you can make it look much nicer- nothing is as rewarding as a good rehab!
Please make sure to take lots of photos and share the process with us. I´m eager to learn!

It’s a little after midnight here so Merry Christmas TPF friends! :hugs:

The stockings and presents are under the tree for the DDs to find in the morning and all the animals tucked up in bed. It’s a strange Christmas this year with family and friends apart due to distancing but I’m sure it will be a great nevertheless!

Merry Christmas @Katinahat ! Have a lovely day tomorrow!

I've never had an LV in my hands so I can't say how it compares to Fendi. I've had a few Fendis. One was the thin striped canvas in very poor condition. I had to repaint the stripes. Then I covered the entire thing with polyurethane. I liked the way it came out. I had another bag with the wider stripes. It was in very good condition so I didn't do anything to it. I also had a coin purse in horrible condition. The lining had flaked. I used fabric puff paint to give it a smooth surface.

These are great @whateve, I especially like the coin purse. You are so talented!

Added one more bag to make the 5 challenge for this month. I had to walk to an appointment near the centre of the city in which I live this afternoon. I was going to take my new Alexa but thought I’d branch out and carry a different bag for this challenge! Mulberry Mini Cara seemed the perfect option for the 5.5km walk each way. Big enough for essentials, small enough to carry easily and wears as a backpack so very practical. I love the Steel Blue colour and quilting on this bag. The leather is thick but really soft and feels so good!

We put up our Christmas tree this afternoon. It might not be a classic beauty, but it´s perfect to us: the tree came from our yard. It was growing out of a wall and would have had to be cut anyway. The baubles and lights came from a garbage pile at the curb years ago. Some old lady must have died or moved to an old peoples´home and all her "worthless" belongings ended at the curb- the baubles carefully packed in their original grey cardboard boxes.

Beautiful tree!

I just backread more than 10 pages! It had been hectic at work plus I got migraine and mild vertigo attack. Yesterday and today are much more relaxed, thankfully.
I managed to complete the 5-bag challenge this December! I know I posted until bag 3 before (Proenza Schouler tote, Longchamp Le Pliage Club and Givenchy Pandora).
Bag 4 - Coach Cassie (old photo here)

Update on the bag I was dunking. It's pretty dry now but I'm leaving it to dry for an additional day to make sure there are no damp spots that can lead to mould.
I've decided to dye it black and give it a good conditioning, then put it back in the donation pile. I'm certain it'll be good as new once I'm done with it, but I have 12 black bags so I'd rather release it than keep it.

I'm definitely getting a yellow bag when the right one grabs me. I've posted my goals on the 2021 thread already and in there I said I won't experiment with other brands. If I get a yellow bag, it'll be a vintage Coach, Portland Leather Goods, Hammitt or Massaccessi.
I may wait a few months before actually following through on the yellow bag. I'd like to release a few more from my collection before letting one in, and I already have a lot of colourful bags that I can enjoy until I scratch this particular bag itch.

@whateve Just want to thank you for the info on yellow and bone vintage Coach bags. :tup:
It's a bit of a rabbit hole figuring out which vintage bags are which. For instance, the Penny, Pocket Purse and Dinky all look exactly the same to me! :lol: But it's fun to read now and learn all the styles. I'll post in that thread if I end up with a vintage beauty. :smile:
