She's pretty awesome as is, so you wont' have any worries!! I know some like to rehab a bag with the thought of returning it to "like new" status. It's great if and when that happens, but rarely has that happened for me on certain types of bags. Thank goodness I LOVE vintage bag "patina" and don't mind the look. I've been watching the college girls here in the Ann Arbor area, and am amazed at how many are carrying old looking bags since this trend is kicking in big time here.

Okay, so I got two out of the four rehab projects in and I bought some woolite. I think, on Monday, I am going to give them baths. Quick questions.
Where can I find Leather CPR and Theropy locally? Car shops? Target?
How about Black Rock? eBay? Shoe repair shops?
I want to make sure I have everything before I begin.

I have found Leather CPR at Tuesday Morning, Marshalls, and Bed, Bath and Beyond. The others I have ordered on ebay. You can also check saddle and tack stores, if there are some in your area. Auto stores have some leather products, but not usually the ones I use.
I recently did this with the BT duffle sac I posted in here. Still kicking myself
I have a few that I've made worse. I still haven't given up but they are waiting until I feel inspired.
My poor green sheridan glenwood is so faded that it wouldn't match that shade of green paint!

YIKES...my last rehab was in October???!! No wonder Ive been a little twitchy. But today is spa day for this lovely 1994 Monroe Brief #5276 that Hyacinth authenticated. (Other pics here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-763164-378.html#post23891229) This is one monster of a bag, but in remarkable condition for her age, complete with shoulder strap and hangtag. No major issues, amazingly clean, just needs a little re-shaping and TLC. Oh yeah, and edge coating (Katev
. More than Ive EVER spent on a Coach bag, I think its pretty cool for my $50 investment. Cant wait to get started. Stay tuned for the reveal in a week or so.

Just put the hardware on my wee little dinky! She's so beautiful! The Black rocks came today and I think the Montana oil plus that were the way to go! I lifted the flap to compare the original color. It's a little darker but still not fully dry!
she looks really GREAT!!!! WAY TO HANG IN THERE!!!
