I loved when my cat sat in my lap. Those are the best cats.Thank you! Her name is Laptop, cause she's very much a lap cat![]()
We used to put a piece of paper in the middle of the floor just to see if the cat would sit on it. She always did.All lap, all the time.

Although she also LOVES bags. If there is a bag, she'll sit on it.

Beautiful! I think that Ergo bags are some of the loveliest and most comfortable line of bags that Coach has made; you did a great job with the rehab.
I have also cycled bags through the washer when sink washing won't be sufficient. I put them inside a net laundry bag or tie them up in a pillowcase. I have used Woolite but I usually use Leather Therapy Laundry Solution and Leather Therapy Laundry Rinse and Dressing. These products are designed for Equestrian riders and Motorcyclists that wear a lot of leather. They are not cheap but they last a long time.

Ooh thanks for all the tips! It sounds like Blackrocks is thicker and helps areas with more heavy scuffing, is that right? I just got another bag today, a tan Patricia's legacy, since I'm getting all the products for rehabbing! Funny how that works, right?Nice find, don't worry about the cost. I have found some bags very cheap and I've probably paid too much for others - but it all works out.
I agree, I would dunk it and use the products that @whateve recommended. When you use Blackrocks be sure to apply it sparingly and wipe off the excess immediately. It has an odor but it fades soon.
I suggest that you invest in a good, horsehair shoe brush because it makes it easier to buff bags. You will also need a metal polish to shine up the hardware, I prefer Wenol. These products also cost money, but they last a long time.
Is the bag missing the hangtag? Call Coach Customer Service and ask them for a free replacement hangtag, they will probably send a plain gold metal hangtag to match the hardware. It may take a long time to arrive, but it's free and genuine!
Welcome to rehabbing!
The bag is still wetView attachment 4697958
Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this question but I recently washed a vintage bag that has a fabric lining. Now that it is dried the leather and fabric are wrinkled (see attached pictures).
Any idea what happened or how I can fix this?
Thanks
I didnt think they had glue.Ugh my bag is turning out so problematic! First of all, there's a huge spill of red nail polish inside that dried up. I can't see myself sitting there for hours with acetone to remove that so I left it alone. It's inside and no one can see and it doesn't bother me. You've already seen my stained hand. Now I'm stuffing the bag and see the leather on top of the pocket has come up. WTH? I didn't use very hot water.. slightly warm. Apparently that was enough. So if you ever wonder what the glue looks one under the folded leather.. here it is: View attachment 4698074
You're welcome. This thing is still bleeding color so I'm using grocery bags to stuff it with and she is going to be drying on a cardboard box. When I'm all done with this it's going to Goodwill. Lol!
Yup, they just folded over the leather with glue under. There are no stitches obviously. It's held up fine till I gave it a bath. So I'd say they used pretty good quality glue.I didnt think they had glue.
