Twins...except mine is a beautiful taupe color. I went back and looked at your pics before and after...and I'm a bit envious. My bag was in good condition when I received it but I gave it a bath anyway just to freshen it up and plump up this lighter/thinner leather but I've been unable to get the beautiful sheen you have on yours. I've done all the same things...Leather CPR and Black Rock...twice each. It still feels a bit dry and is dull looking. It still looks dirty in this pic and others I took but it's not. Shadows maybe.
Any suggestions?
I have more pics and can post them but they all look the same. Do you think this color of leather just doesn't have the depth black does? I posted a couple of times in the rescue/rehab thread about the wrinkles in it. I even gave it a second bath...tried ironing it per Whateve's suggestion...it's a beautiful bag but I've become frustrated with it.
