Pretty happy with my Madison satchel...there’s still a hint of the water stain on one side, but you have to look for it. Not sure why it wouldn’t come out on that side? She’s a beautiful bag. Glad I could give her a second chance :blush:
Yummy! Nothing like a BT rehab gone right! Congrats rehabber.
That is what I find amazing about the glove-tanned leather; if you know how to clean and condition it, it really gives them a whole other life!

Hello Rehabbers!
Hope everyone's doing OK!
Haven't done any rehabbing for awhile & have been missing it and the folks on this forum.

I promised my sister-in-law that I'd try to clean up her almost-vintage Ergo bag.
The color is Marigold, and it has some dirt, lighter spots and wear throughout the outside - can barely see it in the pic.
I've had experience with Sonomas mostly, and have soaked bags and used leather therapy, CPR and Backrock. But some of the lighter colored bags I've rehabbed came out looking a bit worse - weird stains, color loss etc emerged.

Since it's not my bag and is a light color I'm feeling less confident and am worried I'll make it look worse!! I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

TIA!

I think regular glove tanned bags are easier to rehab than Sonomas. I would bathe it and condition as normal, but avoid any conditioners that have a tendency to darken. Sometimes stains show up that you didn't see before, but I think they fade away again.

Thanks so much whateve!
Do you think CPR folowed by black rock will darken?
Also - does the lining in the Ergo bleed?
 
It's a 9047 made in 1998.
Hmmmm, couldn't find that number in my catalogs just now, looking under Ergo....
Do you know what it is?
I didn't authenticate it as she said she bought it new at Coach
I found it! It was called an ergo compartment bucket. By the way, the color was just called yellow.
