I used that wallet (not that exact one though) for eleven years. I just got a new one. It’s so great. I miss it. Great job!!

Hi all! I want to repair the piping on this ny stewardess and just want a rundown of how to fix this from anyone willing to give me their advice. Thank you!!!
Can you "rehab" a bag like a Dreamer that needs to be re-shaped? The materials- the leather and the hardware look great .It looks like someone sat on it for a while. Is reshaping successful for the older unlined bags only?
Hmmmm, looking at it again it's pretty dirty inside too . What do you think? Can this bag be saved? Thank you for your thoughts

I recently dunked and rehabbed a Black Patent Coach Kisslock Ergo and it came out great, see the links below. After you finish cleaning the bag, you can use lemon Pledge polish to restore the shine.
After it got wet I noticed that the patent leather become cloudy gray looking in spots especially along the stitching. I was afraid that it would stay that way forever and I massaged it with towels to try and dry out the leather while it was drying. But after it dried completely the color returned to normal and the cloudiness went away.

I wouldn't wash a newer bag. You might be able to reshape it by stuffing it and hanging it in a steamy bathroom. I don't think the lining looks that bad.
Some of the ladies on here do some kind of voodoo with leather cement and puff paint mixed with conditioner, and you can't even see damage was ever there. It's pretty brilliant.
In addition to whateve recommends, I would cut out foam board rectangles to snugly fit inside the zip area and outside and it will help while steaming, cleaning and in storage. You may want to consider a purse insert to help maintain/ reshape. I think for what I can see of the inside, vacuuming and damp wiping could go a long way. The leather is nice looking from what I can see, but I get the impression from the pics the size and shape of the bag lend itself to slouchiness with time and how it is stored is important . I get a Rogue vibe from looking at the construction in the side pics, and those bags in that size are known for slouching, imo. I like that leather the more I see it! Good luck!
