That looks fantastic.Thanks! I agree that the gunmetal will look good with the suede fringe dinky!
And I know what you mean, some of the vintage bags look "collegiate" and informal, but I think the chain straps will go well with some of the vintage bags. The Dinky is modeled on a classic bag style and I think they may work with some bags like the structured Italian Coach bags.
Here is a pic of my beechnut Madison Gracie that is missing the original strap but I've substituted the lighter-weight chain strap that is sold at the coach outlets. I also like the fact that they are genuine coach straps and not expensive.

It looks gorgeous!Here is after dunk, shape, 3 coats CPR, and finished with a coat of Saphir leather balm. She is glowing and the leather has a shine like burnished.
ETA: Bonus advantage of Saphir leather balm, it has high concentration of bee wax, the kisslock fram was wax polished by Saphir pretty good too.
Can someone tel me where to find the instructions on how to rehab a bag...and the dunk method?
Thanks so much!
It is just a very well made glovetaned vintage Coach with lining....lolOoh thanks for posting about this! Looks beautiful! I have the same bag but didn’t want to dunk it because I love it too much. At least now I know in the future if I mess it up somehow, I can dunk![]()
Yes lol, but I think whenever there is a bag I really, really like I’m still hesitant to do anything lest I ruin it. It’s always in the back of my mind!It is just a very well made glovetaned vintage Coach with lining....lol
That's true. I ruined a vintage Dooney & Bourke, the leather pipping cracked everywhere after dunk. It was too dry to dunk.Yes lol, but I think whenever there is a bag I really, really like I’m still hesitant to do anything lest I ruin it. It’s always in the back of my mind!
That Lula looks like my daypack in terms of the shade of yellow. Beautiful!So, I think its yellow,...
Welcome to the Ergo XL Tote revival! Looks beautiful!I forgot to mention that I used a gold hangtag to replace the missing hangtag on my XL Ergo Tote 10744. The original hangtag was made of black leather and had white contrast stitching; too bad that it's long gone. I had a large, black leather hangtag but I thought that the gold looked better.
I've decorated my new-to-me Ergo with the Coach Koi Fish charm and paired it with my black Bleecker wallet.

Maybe you could get that seller on Etsy to sew on a hangtag with white thread.I forgot to mention that I used a gold hangtag to replace the missing hangtag on my XL Ergo Tote 10744.
