Hi ladies, I'm in the midst of working on my sad-looking watermelon tote that even smells like it's depressed. I went against conventional wisdom and dunked the body of the bag because the smell was just...ugh. My hands reek of it too as I'm typing D: I noticed the handles were already sort of soft before I even dunked the bag so to avoid further floppiness I kept the handles out of the water. May I know how hard/soft the handles are supposed to be? Because they're slightly bendy but I can't tell if it's supposed to be that way. Thanks in advance.
They are supposed to be hard. When you squeeze them, they don't give. I can bend them slightly if I try but they go right back.
I think some parts have a very slight give but overall it doesn't feel TOO mushy. Will let it dry fully and see. Thank you!

Thank you! Do you notice how crooked the front tab is? I've been working on this bag for a few days and just yesterday I noticed how crooked the tab is. I suppose it isn't too terribly obvious if it took me a few weeks to notice.
Yes. I usually give it a second vinegar wipe before my last CPR coat
IKR! I recently bought a Letter Brief in BT I was sure was going to need color touch up on the piping. It completely responded to conditioning and I was amazed.
Yes! It has happened on a couple of my bags. Very frustrating.
Gorgeous! I love the original Rambler great size and shape! You did a beautiful rehab!
No I did not. So went back to check it, yes it is tilted just slightly. I don't think anyone will notice that unless you point it out. IMO it doesn't take anything away from this beautiful bag. But if it bothers you, looks like an easy fix by a cobbler.
ETA: I wouldn't worry about it if it was mine, just adds character and uniqueness.
Another here saying yes I have seen my Brasso polishing work only last a few to several days. I find my brass goes a little bit dark. Happens with D rings, turnlocks, and ball chains all at about the same time.
She's a beauty for sure! Thank you!The gorgeousness overwhelms me!
