Coach Rehab and Rescue Club

The seller's description stated: This bag has MANY scratches, worn spots, thread fraying, pock/pin marks/holes. This is what it looked like before.

All I did was give it a bath, two coats of Leather CPR and one coat of Blackrocks. As I was buffing off the Blackrocks, I found the hangtag in the back pocket. Although the edges look worn in the before pictures, they came out of the bath black and looking new, so I think that was just dirt. The white spots on the back remained white until the conditioner was applied.

Super cute! I was eyballing one of these on eBa a few months ago, I think it was orange, maybe red. Very tempted because I love the style but it was more than I wanted to spend. Congrats!

Thank you! I am keeping her. I was happy to find out that she was part of the geometric bag collection so I'm glad to add her to the family. It kind of works out since black is the only color I don't have in geometric bags.

She came out gorgeous! What a great little bag!

Thanks. I think she is super cute.

Thanks! I just use paper towels. I switched to a terrycloth rag at the end.

Oh, I would have loved orange! This one only cost me $8.06 after ebay bucks. I don't see them very often. It is rare to find one that still has the strap. It snaps on like the Madison Italian bags.

Yeah, I think the one I saw was around $100, did have the strap though and looked to be in good shape. I talked myself out of it but it was in my watchlist for quite awhile.

I don't think I would have spent that either. I spent $90 on my orange geometric because I didn't want to worry that I would never be able to find another. I always wanted this bag in a bright color, but now that I have the black, I think it suits the style.

Thank you! I haven't been feeling very inspired to rehab lately but when you get one when everything seems to go so smoothly, it is reinvigorating. I might get the energy to attack some of my more troublesome rehab projects. I can hardly wait to see your rambler.
