Did you do anything to lighten or even out the color on the trim? I've got one I'm working on and the trim is stained and dark from oils.
This Spectator was SO dry, faded and flat as a pancake when I bought it.
The black leather had lightened considerably and was more of a charcoal gray color. The tabac trim was really faded in areas.
Before I dunked it I applied 2-3 coats of CPR and one of Blackrock's, and let the bag sit for about 5 days. After the dunk, reshaping and drying processes, I again applied 2-3 coats of both leather conditioners. Each time I apply conditioner the colors deepen and the leather looks richer!
I didn't touch it up with any polish or dyes.

I fondly refer to this Spectator as one of my "Lazarus" bags. I have a few in my collection that have rightfully earned that moniker!

Hi,
I’m new here, not too savvy on designer bags and would like your assistance. Bought this at an estate sale today and wanted to see if it’s real. Please and thank you.

It was not made by Coach. You might post it in this thread to see if anyone recognizes the insignia: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/please-help-identify-this-handbag.633033/
Hmm. I don't know if this is authentic but it appears to match this one:
