I did the "I'm going to let it sit overnight " and I guess because the leather is older it took it differently. In other news, I used a suede eraser on the inside where I got conditioner all over the inside flap and it cleaned it up beautifully.

I’d get in touch with the manufacturer of the conditioner you used and ask for their advice.
The Black Rocks sticky issue is common. I don't ever really buff it as good as I should, but it seems to go away eventually. I just let it be.
Anyone know where I can find a turn lock piece to repair this anywhere? Or should I just trash it? It looks like the male piece was unscrewed till it came off. On both sides. [emoji3525]
Hello to the very talented and always helpful ladies of this forum. 
I hope you can give me advice on how to fix or at least improve this leather. I had success before with metallic paint mixed with the leather conditioner, to improve edges and parts of trims like this, but this purse has the very shinny almost mirror like finish, I already checked craft paint, but none of the metallics come close to it.
Any suggestions? Any other product I could use? TIA
The first picture is how it should be, the second the corner I want to fix.

Once I colored a metallic strap on a Glam with Elmers Painters metallic marker pen. It was a long time ago. I don't know if they make them anymore.Hello to the very talented and always helpful ladies of this forum.

Looks like a Parker. I see so many of these on ebay with broken turnlocks. They are just decorative - don't actually turn at all. I think people bumped them into things and they broke. If they are both broken, at least they match. Maybe you could glue something decorative on top. Only you know they are supposed to look like turnlocks.
Thank you so much Whateve, I actually have one of those in gold, this one is more silver, but they still make them!
Your last sentence made me chuckle. I found other metal finishes but not rose gold. [emoji3525]
You could also periodically search ebay for a bag in bad shape at a cheap price with similar (intact) turmlocks that you can cannibalize. It takes patience but I've gotten lucky that way a few times!
