Hi all,
I just wanted to show you how I rescued these 2 handbags that I bought at an auction in San Francisco. They came in a lot of 8 bags so I cannot pin point what I paid for them. BUT... they were an awsom deal after I cleanded them up on my own. They came in a brown cardboard box no dust bags, no nothing. They looked terrible but I knew I had a diamond in the ruff. Here is what I did. I made a video out of it so you can view and tell me what you all think.
Thanks

Where do you get the cadillac boot and shoe care and the melatonian cream? I assume any shoe repair shop but we don't have any of those around here...

Hi there,
I have links under my video's that tell you where you can buy all the products I used. I also just discovered that ebay also sells alot of the products too! Cheaper! I would will from ebay when I eventually run out.
Good luck
