Thank you, Amandines! I did just that and it helped. Have to be a little more careful with Collonil next time!

The inside is suede, not lined. All my Lilys are the same, my Bayswaters too.
Question for the old pros from a relative newbie to Mulberry.
Got a Bayswater today and am thinking of dunking as the flap is dirty and a bit distorted. (Im a Coach rehabber so all good there)
Should I polish up the hardware or leave as is?...not concerned about the inside buckles...just the turnlock.

Got a very much pre-loved Bayswater from a New Zealand selling site.
Authenticated here by our wonderful Authenticators.
She was in relatively good condition for a bag that had been well used for years and in storage for more.
So decided to do a dunk and give her a gpod clean.
I know we have a cleaning thread for Mulberry but wanted to she how easy it was to do and how well it came out.
First off the befores showing all her faults. I do need to repair her handle but thats an easy fix.

Giving her a dunk was the scariest thing.....wasnt sure how well I would do. I have dunked vintage Coach, DKNY and a lambskin bag with no ill affects.
So bath water really , towels to the side.....and in she went.
The colour of the water was very strange...wine coloured water for black bag.
Washed twice and rinsed several times to get the water as clear as possible.

And then to stuffing her to help her dry...looking so much cleaner and they shape of the front flap so much improved.
She is currently drying and has about 5 coats of Leather CPR conditioner .

The bag is finished mostly. Still have a piece on the handle to repair and she has a littel drying to do.
Leather a little stiff but this will soften up as I use it.
So pleased with the results and the size is wonderful.

To give you an idea of the difference a dunk made.
Wow, that's a beautiful transformation! In thr after pics the bag has a nice sheen.
Just shows that those old Darwin leather beauties are indestructible!
