I recommend you try to remove as much verdigris as you can before getting it wet.
For buckles, I use a dry paper towel to wipe off as much as I can, then polish with very fine steel wool (000 or 0000), masking off surrounding leather to protect it. Finally I polish with Cape Cod Fine Metal Polishing Cloths.
I use a toothpick, q-tip or my fingernail to get inside the buckle where it touches leather. That's the hardest part to get clean. With a black bag, you are lucky because the dark verdigris stains on the leather won't really show too much.
Oh! I just rehabbed something in a similar shade of burnished leather and it turned out okay. It was a slim duffle? 9325, still has some roughness to the leather but I have only applied a single coat of cpr so far. I'm wondering if obenauf's would be good or bad for this leather's color.
Thanks to everyone for responding.
Thanks! The Laced Flap was what I was vaguely remembering! Honestly, sometimes the listings, before and afters, just all blur together! As good a prospect as it is, I will pass. But hopefully another tPF -er may be inspired. But I wanted to know, for the future.

Thank you! After I posted, I went back to look at the Creed more carefully and noticed it did say burnished. Thanks for the reminder to look at the Creed.
I don't think I've used Obenauf's oil on my burnished bags, but I've used Obenauf's LP on them. Both LP and Blackrocks work well on them.
Thanks so much for your recommendation. I totally missed this comment for some reason. I haven’t washed it yet, I was trying to get as much off before I did but what I tried wasn’t working.

She was in fine shape beforehand, just some mis-shaping and curled strap/tongue but smelled musty. Hoping a bath will alleviate some of the smell and enrich the color a bit.

I tried to make a pull once. I couldn't get the leather cut smoothly and the stitches were horrible. The best solution I came up with was to take a pull off a donor bag. I had a fake Coach but you could use any brand. The stitches were still there. I just glued it on without restitching.
Speaking of couriers, how do you keep the tongue from curling? I have two, and both tongues don’t stay straight.Spa day

Thank you! Yes, I hand stitched it, and I used a rotary cutter to cut the leather.
