Hello, everyone! My pictures are way, way overdue, but I've been working long hours lately and haven't had the time to photograph my finished rehabs. I used flash in the following photos, because it helped me capture the true-to-life colors (but normally, I dislike using flash; I almost always opt for natural light). However, the photos will give you a great idea of what my bags look like now.

I don't know the name of my teal/lagoon colored Coach bag, but the before pictures are somewhere in this thread. The main problems I found were a mysterious "water" stain on the back (that I, unfortunately, couldn't completely eliminate), and various (small) coffee colored stains on the inside flap and the bottom. All of the coffee colored stains were fully removed during the bath, and despite the mark on the back, I am so, so satisfied with the results. Being my first rehab, I think I did well! The photos shown are after two applications of Leather CPR and one application of Blackrock.

The second (and most recent) rehab project was a Coach Manor bag, and I am completely in love with it! I didn't take any before pictures, because I was too excited to submerge it in water when I received it, but I purchased it off eBay for $32, and it was in lovely condition, save for a few knicks in the leather on a small area of the front of the bag. Aside from the knicks in the leather, the inside was a little dusty, so I cleaned the interior and the pockets of debris before dunking it. The bath did it a lot of justice, but the thick leather took a long time (longer than expected) to dry. I reshaped it with towels, and finally, I applied one application of Leather CPR and one application of Blackrock. I wore this bag out the other night with a sheer shirt, boyfriend jeans, and ankle boots, and it was the perfect accessory! The structured look is my absolute favorite, and I'm thrilled with the results. Definitely my go-to black bag!

Excuse the largeness of the photos!

These look awesome! I love the little green one...fantastic color!! It reminds me of a Watson, minus the turnlock closure...does it have a style # inside? And I too adore Manor bags...they are so lady like. Great work!
 
I love the colour of your green bag, and I love the description of your outfit for a night out with your black manor bag. It sounds perfect

This isn't strictly a bag rehab, but my lovely husband made me a display rack for some of my collection, and I thought I would share it with you. I hope you don't mind me going off topic a little. (And, yes, I also have a thing for shoes and scarves)

Nice display and collection and your husband is a sweetie and a handy guy!

Thank you! Definitely an outfit I will be repeating in the future! :)

Thank you! The serial number is 0690-305; I couldn't find anything matching it online! Any ideas? And yes, the Manor bags are absolutely wonderful. So ladylike, and very on trend with the structured satchel look!
 
Wow, 7 acres sounds awesome! Lots of space for your beautiful dogs to run. I've had to stop, or at least slow down with my bag rehabs and purchases. I'm starting to feel a little bit embarassed at how many I have. I just have a suspender bag on its way to me, and would love a burgundy stewardess or old style rambler and I am DONE. At least the display rack gives me an opportunity now to enjoy what I do have. They are so pretty!
It is, the dogs have alot of room, a have a herd of deer that passes through daily, they have been missing the last few weeks, and then last night 2 of the girls showed up with 2 babies, just the cutest little things. I also have a fox family, 2 or 3 show up every night. The foxes are better behaved than my dogs, I call them and they come running.:D

Your beautiful green bag is a Casey Bag and she has a british tan twin in Florida!

Very nice work...good job!
 
Katev where do you think the best place would be to find a brass one that isn't a fake? Thanks in advance.


If you call Coach customer service in Jacksonville they will send you one for free, but it may take several weeks to arrive. You can also stop into a Coach boutique and ask the SAs for a replacement hangtag. They are usually very willing to help out customers with a free hangtag.

If you bought the bag or ebay or bonz don't tell them that, they hate ebay. Say you got it from a relative or something like that. Good luck!

Unless you've tried already, the gals working on the I.D. thread are almost always able to name your bag and lots of other cool info. and they tend to do it rather quickly. Since it doesn't have the Style # in the creed (pre 1994 In other words) it's harder to just look it up online because there will be no other bag with that number anywhere. If you find her name or style # let us know.

oops I should have checked before answering you since I see your question was answered. Yes, Casey seems right.

Oooooh now that's a nice sight. LOVE love love the first purse on the left, is that a Crescent Bag? I want one bad.
 
My $11.00 Legacy Soho Lafayette 4140 in Lime Green, just missing hangtag.

Can't find them fast enough!

LOL, I originally looked at the post on my phone and was only getting the "before" picture-I love the bag, but I couldn't figure out katev's response saying it was gorgeous...I knew I was missing something, it was the "after" picture!

And yes, lovely! I am so into the green bags lately! Somethings gotta give!
