A rehab story,
Out to dinner
Husband: dont put your bag in the aisle, I'll hold it.
Me: no you're going to put it on the floor.
Husband: no I'll set it on my knee, its fine.
"Done with dinner"
Me: can I have my bag.
"Husband hands me my regina with greasy sauce and kimchee dripped all over the side because he is an f-n mess."
Me: REALLY!!!!
Husband: (sheepishly) sorry
So now I'm washing my regina. :cursing:

:sad: So sorry this happened! Hope it all comes out in the wash. :flowers:

I know the do it now feeling when a bag arrives. I try to content myself with little projects in it until the weekend rolls around. I will damp cloth wipe it, clean hardware with vinegar (which I will do again after washing but this gets the worst of the dirt and green off) and try to treat any stains.

You mentioned that you treat stains before you dunk the bag.
May I ask what you do to treat the stains?

Hey guys! :smile:
Most likely, this will rehab well, right? (I'm a little bit nervous.)

Think the suede is a big deal? Any experience with red bags and suede, after a dunk? Will it likely look better?

I haven't done a red bag yet.

What a gorgeous bag!

I don't think I would dunk it. I would reshape it by stuffing it with warm towels and applying a coat of Leather CPR. Let it stand for a day or two, maybe do another application of CPR. Finish with a coat of Blackrock, paying special attention to the piping.

ETA: I would just brush the suede with a suede brush or nail brush.

I wouldn't be afraid to dunk.

After debating a day too long on a United Airline stewardess bag with a hole and it sold I found a new project. Still on the hunt for a UA bag but I found and ordered a NYC stewardess in some shade of brown. Looks like BT in pics but then so did my tabac courier

I would seriously love to find a UAL bag also! Hubs is a pilot. Must put that tops on my wish list. One of my friends is a long time FA and probably has one in the back of her closet but would probably never part with it.
