Coach Rehab and Rescue Club

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Now that is a great idea! It looks lovely!

Hopefully my brown one looks in as good condition as the purple one.

Brown one came yesterday but I hadn't checked the mail.
It looks in excellent condition also! Great for $20. I think I need to wet and put a heavy book on the little tabs so they lay down better.

Green Bleeker flap before: she was in excellent condition, with slightly soiled lining and hint of smell of cigarette. So I decided to give her a bath, first time trying rehab.

This is after. Hand washed in sink with down dish soaped water, after rinse off, the smoke smell was still noticeable, soaked again in water with white vinegar, that cleared the cigarette smell. Then shaped with towel inside to dry, leather cpr 5 times in several days, and finished with Renapur Leather baslam.

This was work in progress. The color of bag tinted the water but not too bad.
I learned so much from the discussion here, thank you everyone.

Nice job. Such a pretty color.

I am trying to find one at a reasonable cost.

Thanks. I have a yellow one on her way to me too, but that one from what I can see from pictures, will be a lot of work .

I paid quite a bit for both of mine. I think you can find them cheaper now than when I got mine. I was impatient.

I got this green one from eBay CAD 75 and free shipping. Seller is in Canada as well. The ones come from States, with global shipping and custom fees, I am paying average 30 to 35 USD more than US buyer. New Zealand probably will pay even more for shipping. By the way is that you who said no more bags untill new year? Lol..
