Yay! Those bags are looking great ladies! I got my first coat of leather CPR on those damp bags from yesterday. I washed an extra one and forgot it outside. It's a nice sunny day. I hope it doesn't get too dry. I'm out all day and can't get to it till this evening.
Hello ladies!
Hoping you have an idea of what this could be and what to do about it. (Rehab bag I got, not original owner)
There was a small stain on the pocket of this liner (dark green stripe), so I decided to use a bit of Coach Fabric Cleaner but didn't help. So I used the LA Awesome cleaner on it and when wet all over, these dots started to appear, like they were inside between the two layers of fabric, none were visible before I got it wet so I thought once dry again they would go away, but have not, they are more noticeable than the picture shows
Please help, thanks in advance.

Any guesses..... ?????
Right back at you babywith your dark Bleeker *lunch* tote! Can't quite make out the color: mahog? black? navy?
.......GREY!!!!!!!!!
We are so excited! We've done research and we're planning on bathing, conditioning, fixing the scratches, and applying some edge paint. I think we'll also try magic eraser to lighten the handles. If anyone has any extra thoughts they'd like to share we'd be happy to hear

Use vinegar with that magic eraser. I don't know that I would use edge paint. Coach didn't on these older styles.We are so excited!

Now that it’s been washed and dried, I inspected it closer. I don’t think it’s supposed to be that dark, a la burnt cedar. It looks almost like someone has used a house stain to darken some parts. You can see what looks like brush strokes on the darker parts and the other side pieces of trim are lighter.
I think I’ll try vinegar first and then acetone.
Any ideas now that there are better photos?
It’s a 5x7 portfolio. It was shabby green and brown. I’ve been working on dying black.
I just wanted a little something in my bag to actually write with instead of a screen all the time.View attachment 3839422
Ok, there’s definitely been something applied to make the color darker. I have been using straight acetone because vinegar got me nowhere. Left hasn’t been touched and right is after five passes with the acetone and a lot of elbow grease.
I got lucky at the Salvation Army Store today. I found an NYC Compact Slim Satchel 9425 (also called the Handle Clutch) in dark brown for $15, the bag is intact and clean! See the pics at the link below.
