My 1st partial rehab. I used CPR 3 times on this and she came out beautiful! It didn’t come with a strap or hangtag, but I purchased mainly to try a rehab. Photos 1-6 are before photos.

The power of social media!
It's amazing what a little Leather CPR can do...she looks great!
Here is one of my recent rehabs. [emoji173]️ this bag! I think it’s because of the thicker strap. I wish I was better at remembering to take before pictures. I tried but no luck at getting that ink off. I still love it though [emoji4]
There is this strap for $20 with free shipping

There is also this one with tag with best offer option, although you may want to ask strap length if you want a crossbody before putting in an offer if you are interested [emoji4]

Hello ladies, hoping to get your opinion.
I dunked a honey or butterscotch? color leather Chadwick, (lighter than british tan), there was one mark/stain noticeable, the rest was the usual, a bit dry, in need to reshape....
I did it yesterday, at night I applied my first coat of conditioner, this morning there were areas already dry, but now it was showing "rings" here and there, like when leather gets water spots.
Would this be part of the process of drying? Did I put too much conditioner in some areas? I use a sponge, so I think I do it evenly... I do not know what to think.
I can not post pictures now, it would have to be tomorrow, in the mean time anybody got a similar experience?
TIA

I have seen that happen with some lighter color bags but not all of them. The bag gets "spots" after I give it a bath and use conditioner. I am usually convinced that I've ruined it, but eventually the spots start to fade and then disappear. You may just need to give it some time before deciding if the problem is temporary or permanent - and be prepared for the spots to come back for awhile if you give it another application of conditioner.
Thank you so much Katev, I will be patient then. I guess I will continue with the process of conditioner, buff, conditioner, etc.. then I will wait for a few days to see if they fade. Crossing fingers.
Once when I rehabbed a red City Bag it took weeks for the spots to fade! I was convinced that the bag was ruined and put it away for awhile and was shocked to see that it looked great the next time I checked it. All I can advise is to be patient.
