OK, I have a kinda cute rehab related story. I dropped off my big ole NYC Bookay Duffle to have the strap re-riveted on about a month ago. When I picked it up last week, The shop owner starts telling me this story about a puppy that wandered into his shop, how he looked all over for the owner, because the puppy was too young to have wandered very far on the busy street the shop is located on. He even showed me a cell phone pic of the cute lil dude. (looked like a VERY young black lab).
So I'm thinking cute story, and I love a good puppy story, but why is he telling me this? Well he was working on my bag when he came in. He was about to call the humane society when an acquaintance of his who owns one of the shops down the way came in, offered to take the puppy in. And guess what they named the puppy? "Coach". LOL.
anyway, hope this story has a happy ending and the guy turns out to be a good home for him.
And, as for the bag, here's a pic. I did dunk it when I got it home to reshape. This thing is the HEAVY leather like my old basic bags. I've had it quite awhile, and had been buckling the strap through with the "tab" to hold it together and it worked pretty well. I put some leather CPR and BlackRocks on her and dressed her up with the FNO tassels. Maybe next time I'll switch the strap out too, but I wanted to try the length with the original strap today. It always SEEMS short.
Not the best picture ever...but the nice brown leather feels soo rich. Inside is a pair of tennies, yoga pants, and the usual stuff I carry every day, wallet, a couple wristlets, and my Kindle.

I'm on a spending ban right now!Thanks Chow! Say, when are you going thrifting with me?
Looks so cute with those tassels. Are those emerald?OK, I have a kinda cute rehab related story. I dropped off my big ole NYC Bookay Duffle to have the strap re-riveted on about a month ago.

Sorry, please remind me, is it an unlined leather bag and a darker color? I have rewashed similar bags 2 or 3 times when necessary, so a long soak (45 minutes) shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks Kate! It's a red lined mini hobo 9844. The Febreze toned won the cig smell quite a bit. I'm thinking another soak and then sealed up with some ground coffee might do the trick!
Has anyone tried Atmosclear?
That's a bummer! Just leave the house with a ten in your pocket, lol! We'll hit the dollar racks!
Using my rehabbed stewardess today - really love the capacity but I think some black leather color is rubbing off onto my beige wallet. I will have to keep an eye on that.
Some color did come off during buffing particularly on the inside with Blackrock (non suede surfaces) and I know some of you have said Blackrock can lift a little color. I really hope it doesn't persist.

That is beautiful!
Such a nice bag - you did a great job. There was a lady in front of me in the check out at the grocery store with an older stewardess bag - it still looked fairly good and it's such a classic bag, but the real story is that I was really surprised how much it held! She couldn't find her debit card so she emptied a ton of stuff out of that bag!
