Thank you so much for the link I really appreciate it, I do think it would fit the ipad.

I am proud to announce that I am the proud owner of a Coach Hampton Watermelon color, she is so pretty and I won an auction for a pretty suede coach bag today, here is the pretty little number that will be making her home with me :smile1:

This old girl has been in my closet since 2006...don't remember what I paid, or even where she came from. Hyacinth authenticated her as an Oliver Bag 0077-205 #9902 from 1992-93. (See the before pics: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-694619-710.html#post21904212)

After a bath, brass cleaning, conditioning with Leather CPR and finishing with Blackrocks, she's glowing again. Blackrocks really works for rejuvenating worn looking piping! I'm please with my results on this one.

But I'm changing her name to Thomas, as she has LOTS of nooks and crannies :)

She looks great! I am loving the Blackrocks as well. Just tried the Obenauf's last night, and thet is impressive as well. Have to put another coat of that on, then another coat of the Blackrocks and she will be ready to go!

Thank you I am really excited and I can't wait to get it, :smile1: I think my girls are getting the Coach fever too :D

In the pictures of the suede bag on the bottom it looks a little dirty, is there something special I need to do to clean it up with it being suede?? Thank you in advance for all the help

Actually, yes, the way you would treat that is to use a suede brush with a suede eraser. You can get one of those almost anywhere that sells shoe cleaning supplies. Remove the stains as much as possible with the eraser part, and then use the suede brush to pull the nap back up and make it fuzzy abnd even again. Coach used to sell the best suede brush eraser combo ever, but no longer. I got mine at Target, and it has nylon brushes, which I don't really like. The Coach one had metal bristles that worked much better.
Here is a link to pics of my suede brush on my blog:

And even one of those brass bristled brushes sold in autmotive with the tools might work better than the nylon one I have, just go slow and be careful! You don't want to use a brush that is too rough and poke a hole in your purse by accident!!

And, someone actually has a listing up for a Coach one, I can't see if the bristles have any metal ones mixed in, but it might be the best option:

Oh, and here is another listing, it looks like the brush does not have the metal bristles. I got the one I used to have at Coach in 1999 or so, and it was like the one in my photo with a brush on one side and an eraser on the other, and the bristles were nylon around the edges and metal in the middle.

Thank you so much for the information I really appreciate the help. Would the brush you use on the UGG's or Bearpaws work ok??

I have used Blackrocks but not Obenauf's. What is the difference between Obenauf's and Blackrocks? Do you need both? Do they serve different purposes?
