I recently used clear Gorilla glue on a vintage coach bucket bag. Worked well.

I have used shoe goo for leather repairs. I find it works well.

Thank you! Just dish soap and white vinegar in the bath water and then leather CPR and renapur

Thank you! Is the Leather CPR to clean and condition, and then the Renapur (I'm assuming this is the leather balsam product?) to further condition, restore, and somewhat waterproof the leather?

Yes, exactly. I believe most of the others here use the CPR plus either blackrocks or Renapur and I’ve seen some other types of products mentioned as well.

I’ve used Shoe Goo on tags that have separated (split in two) and it’s worked great.

So lately I haven't been happy with my rehabs, or the bags I've been buying. I think they look ok when I purchase, but when I get them and try to fix them up I can't get it right. The bags aren't right, too small, I dunno.

It's funny you mentioned this, I was telling my dh how the yellow daypack rehab was the most challenging one I've done due to its lighter color, and it is making me less likely to consider lighter colors in the future. I've also noticed my first ever rehab was the most miraculous and jaw dropping in terms of before and after. I feel like I'm trying to recreate it and haven't been able to.

Hi all, I just got this vintage bag in new/unused condition, but it does have a few scratches and dents from improper storage. I’m totally fine with this, but I was just curious if you all recommend I do anything, and if so, what products you recommend. I’ve never rehabbed a bag before but would be willing to try if it would help. Do dents even come out with dunking, conditioning, etc.? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

For the circled mark, I would rub it with my thumb. That’s what Coach recommended in the old days. I don’t think your needs rehabbing at all. Just enjoy it!

I’ve searched all over this thread and can’t find where I thought someone said they reshaped bags in the dryer on the shelf. Did anyone ever say that or am I losing it? Lol
