Hi ladies!
Just a quick question, what color do you think this is in my 4903 Sonoma, I have seen them listed as "aqua", "mint", "sage" and even "seafoam". I couldn't find a catalog or picture of Sonoma colors, that would tell the difference. TIA

excited to see this one too. Go valv54 go!

What do you ladies recommend for these dry corners? I tried Old fashioned Coach Moisturizer and I have the Apple brand- I have been away from my vintage bags for a while - is Lexoil still popular? What is the recommended brand? Or do I need to dye it?

You need Leather CPR and Blackrock Leather n Rich. It might benefit from a bath. Usually a bath and conditioning is enough.

This is a picture of my aqua Sonoma. It was made in 1996. Here are a couple of color charts.

Thanks whateve once more. The Aqua on the Sonoma colors seems a darker, but my bag is definitely the same color as yours, so is Agua, love the color!

You're welcome. I find some of those color charts to be off.

Hi,
Seeking advice on using Leather CPR. What do you use to apply it? The bottle I got today says to use a soft sponge (and not a cloth). A dry soft sponge?

I have experience with Leather Therapy, Obenauf’s, Blackrock and a couple of other products, but I’m a CPR newbie. Grateful for your advice on vintage Coach rehabs. Thanks in advance, for how you apply it, and what it does for the leather.

I have only ever applied CPR after giving the bag a bath and then I do it with my fingers so none is lost in a cloth or sponge. I do the same with Blackrocks afterwards and work it in the bag in small circular motions.

Thank you! Do you buff the leather with a brush after applying CPR?
