There used to be a neat guide online that I had bookmarked but the link is inactive now. Bummer.

Yes! I just rehabbed my three City bags made in three different countries - 1995 BT from US, 1992 red from Costa Rica and 1998 black from Turkey. Man, what a difference in the way they felt after dunking, absorbed the CPR applications, dried, felt, etc. Each bag is so unique!
No worries.

Well Ive just bought myself a challenge...something caught my eye and I could not resist. See Authenticate this Coach thread
So I will have to fix the strap breaks that are located under the shoulder guard and although I said I wouldnt dunk I might have to.
Do any of you think that putting a bit of painters tape over the metal tag will protect it?

I dunked 2 metal tag pre creed bags before, no issue with the paint. I only use room temperature water. Paint will become soft and peel if water is hot.
when you fixed up your break in the strap of your Bonnie Cashin black bag...did you glue and then sew it closed and then used fabric paint on it after the dunk?
thank you @houseof999 for commenting on the At thread...makes me even a more happy camper.
No sewing up for me!

Glad I could take some worries and work away! In case anyone is wondering: The strap guard covers the stapled joint and it slides both ways.
I saw houseof999 post, so no strap fixing needed. Hooray.
Hi just thought i'd contribute by showing the slight variance in colour when applying leather conditioners to light coloured bags:
(From left to right: one application of Apple leather conditioner; Blackrocks layered on top after first layer of Apple leather conditioner has dried)
There's more depth to the colour in pic 2. (Apologies it's overcast today so this is the best lighting I could get.)

Ah, no. I think washing and and CPR/BR-ing brought the balls and bag back to life enough for daily use. She's my 'big bag' for errands, etc. (my Waverly is my daily bag in summer, she's hanging behind the tote).
The only part I'd still like to fix is the frayed piping and big round stain on the bottom. I haven't really given her a once over since I rehabbed until I took these pics today and didn't notice just how bad it looked. I guess at this point I'd need to re-dunk, cement and paint those frayed areas but I don't think anything will work on that stain...
