I keep checking my Marshall's, too, and don't see it. I have an old bottle of it I think I did find at Marshall's but just not lately. I may go Amazon myself! I need to spend a day (or two!) conditioning all my bags!
Yes, later today I will fill a little bucket with water and Lexol cleaner and giver several bags a wipe down followed by conditioning. And my Bancroft took a spill onto concrete and has what look like a few scrapes! She will be getting extra TLC.
It comes and goes at Marshall's. Sometimes they have it and sometimes they don't. They always run out when I run out of course.
What a lovely rich tone!Rehab one Done! Back to its soft, shiny selfHelen's Legacy is next up and in the bath.
I did 5 bags at once in the bath tub yesterday. Now I need to condition them all. I love how the weather is nice and warm so they're drying really fast!Rehab one Done! Back to its soft, shiny self
Somebody cut-up their black groovy and they are selling the replacement parts on ebay, so if you are missing a button or hangtag, etc. you may be able to replace it:

I see it online from cpr products and it will ship for free. When I'm close to running out and if I don't feel like running to the store or hunting it down at Marshall's, I'll just order online. They are tearing up the main street in my neighborhood and right now I'm thinking of staying put until it is done. Street parking is going to be a pain to find if I leave my spot. It is all about the parking spot! Luckily I can work from home and can walk for groceries and then there are plenty of restaurants. I'll survive the 6 weeks they anticipate it to last. Praying no rain delays!
I have a question about corner wear. This weekend I pulled out my Honey-colored Borough 32295 because I've decide to use it as a laptop/business bag - it's huge!
I brushed the suede, cleaned and conditioned the smooth leather, then treated it with 2 applications of Apple Rain Garde.
Like all Borough bags is was showing some signs of corner wear, but a little Blackrock's took care of that and now it looks great. My question is, has anyone figured out a method of preventing or reducing corner wear - to keep it from happening in the first place?
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip about Bed Bath and Beyond! Here in Canada, Amazon wants over $50 for a bottle of Leather CPR but I can pick it up at my local BB&B for $20!
I can't believe that Coach didn't install feet on the bottom of the borough bags, that would have helped a lot!
So I ended up buying the bag as the seller assured me that there was not any color missing in the spot I saw on the bag in the picture. I received it today and OMG it is the softest most beautiful leather I've seen so far on a vintage Coach! It is absolutely divine. And actually there are a couple weird pockmark looking things that the camera must have picked up and amplified. It's like the cow had some slight age spots or warts or something. But they're hardly noticeable in person and don't keep me from loving this bag!
Here are the warts/spots taken in afternoon sunlight:
