Another odor remover some people have recommended is activated charcoal, sold as aquarium charcoal at pet supply stores. Place it in small bowls around the bag inside the sealed container.

Drying alone won't remove existing mold spores. You have to kill the spores somehow or the mold can come back if conditions are right. Vinegar should do it.

I'd try the charcoal approach. I hate the smell of fried food in my house and recently purchased a splatter screen that has charcoal in it. I was AMAZED my house, hair and clothes did not smell like fried food. I fried some breaded eggplant. I want to try this screen with bacon to see how it does. Won't help with the mold spores but boy, the screen worked wonders!

So I am ready to rehab this soft pebbled bag. #11613 , I picked it up a year ago at a GW for 8.99. This would make a great change for spring. After I dunk it, I was going to apply Leather CPR. Thoughts from anyone who has rehabbed this soft kind of soft pebbled leather??

I’ll try it! Surely one of these methods will work.

Just as a fun update. Here’s a before and after of one of the corners I de-wrinkled.

How did you dewrinkle it? I hate when things start to sag and wrinkle.....I'm starting to, too! LOL

I ironed it. With a literal iron. I used a can of Lysol on the inside to keep the curved shape, and used an old T-shirt between the bag and the iron. On the steam setting.

Very McGuyver!

Hi rehabbers,

Any suggestions on what to use if I want a red bag to darken? Thanks.

Obenauf's oil. Especially if the bag is vintage.

Thank you. Yes, it is from the 90s.

Ok I know nothing can be done about the scratches (right?) but seriously, would you rehab this bag?

This bag looks a bit fishy to me. I could be wrong.

That's a great deal. I think you could fix up the handles and clean up the lining, but I doubt you could do anything about that pitting. I've always been curious about this style but it is probably too similar to the Bleeckers I already have.

Fishy how? There's no creed picture but I don't see anything that would lead me to believe it isn't authentic.

I noticed the whip he is holding is swirled downward, instead of being looped if that makes sense. The back wheels look odd too.

I meant to say downward.

Hmm.. I did some research and saw the whip two different ways. I could be wrong, I just noticed it was different than what I’m used to seeing. My apologies.
