Ok, kids... What do we think? I have this giant duffle (9085) that I rarely use but love. Found this sequin dino patch that I think would look amazing on it and would probably make me enjoy using it more often. What’s your opinion...yay or nay?

I think the dino patch looks like it was made for that duffle! Bags are meant to be carried, so if it would make it more fun for you, I say yay.

Oh! And I forgot to post my latest project with the flawed Station (?) bag. Still need to polish the brass and maybe add a couple of additional studs. What do you guys think of the final product? I think it’ll be fun to carry. [emoji4]

It turned out great! I love how you chose the patches to emphasize New York, 1941, and C for Coach. Electrifying!

I love the dino! And I love your red station bag too! How did you stick the pins into the leather? I tried to stick one in the other day and I couldn't actually get the pin to pierce it. It was a Coach pin, through suede and it's got to get through the lining too. I figure I'm going to have to use some tool to make a hole but I don't know what will be the right size. I have a bunch of pins but I've barely used them.

Thanks! I used an Exacto knife to poke a hole before sending the pins through. Worked great on all except one that I ended up gluing because the pin bent. I bought a leather hole puncher thingamabob at Tandy too for the studs. It works great and has interchangeable tips for whatever size hole you need.

Amazing! It turned out great. I was so curious how it would turn out. The charm looks great with this bag.

Oh yes! I totally feel Bucket Dino!
But why do I not feel it for that beautiful creamy Convertible Clutch??

Wow! Embellishing done right! *seriously thinking about going back to flea market where I saw a train wreck of a red Station bag last week*
To those who insist on *Be-Dazzling* Coach bags: Please take note of this, less is more!
To anyone from Coach Corporate who may be lurking (ie the intern assigned to monitor Social media and blogs) : How about featuring this rehabber on your website, with her permission and compensation of her choice??

Hello ladies,

I come to say thank you, thank you!
I finished rehabbing the bag that felt like suede on the front flap and leather on the rest. You advised me to keep conditioning, because it might take several applications to make it look like leather again. Most likely (although that was my plan, to give it a bath and conditioner a couple times), I would have given up when it seemed almost impossible, but I didn't give up and I do not know how many layers of Leather Therapy and Blackrocks, and one arm now bigger than the other from buffing, LOL but now I am very happy with the results, although as you also mentioned the color would get darker, but now matches the patina of the rest.
Also very pleasantly surprised when polishing the buckles, I realized that are all stamped with the "anchor". Before I only had seen it on the strap clips.
So thanks for your advice and encouragement, you ladies rock! :smile:
Before and after...

Looks great! I'm glad you didn't give up. Isn't it so exciting to see that anchor?

And the white pleated ergo tote was purchased about a year and a half ago.
I wa curious what I could do for a light color bag. Initially she cleaned up great. I have used it regularly. When I pulled it out recently, it just looked grimy, kinda like when I bought it. So I dunked her, applied LCPR sparingly and she is looking pretty good. But this bag has made me wary of purchasing white/ ivory/ chalk bags.
