Is that a mahogany lunchbox? Looks beautiful. Mine is growing on me now that my stuff settled into place. I always liked the look and how it carries, it was just killing me on organization
It is! I'm trying to incorporate more neutral color into the fold. Lol. I like the lunchbox, but like you said, everything kinda flops around, I don't carry much so its not terrible.
Reading through Old posts (field research and all) - I wanted to ask about Leather Therapy....
I have a 9966 Red I've dunked today - edges are SUPER dry but overall good everywhere else. I've been slathering the corners with Leather CPR all day - and the edges just drying quickly and starting to look whiteish again.
I know Red is tricky - but I'm also adding pictures of the ends that look a bit wrinkly. Should I be trying Leather Therapy? I'm afraid it may darken and if I just do spots or need to dunk again.
TYIA for your expert opinion!
Blackrocks should help with that.
I ordered black rocks and brushes from amazon per your recommendation. They arrived today and I’m anxious to use ❤️
TY!!!
Ok, so I just used this "dashboard"kit to take off a turnlock and it was super easy! I dont remember who recommended this, but thank you! I found this on Amazon. Also recommend a suede brush to brush your suede espically when you get that unfortunate conditioner smear.
Leather therapy may help with the wrinkled panel but I would put it all over the bag. It may darken a little but not much; and I agree that I would finish with blackrocks to even out the color and darken the edges.
I have been thinking about this style for a while. I have seen the smooth leather and pebbled leather in black. You helped me decide that I will look for the black in pebbled and smooth in the vachetta
eta or turquoise

Me too. I just saw one listed, and I forget how much it was. I am in no hurry to buy them, as I have lots of bags already
Working on thinning the herd. And yeah, I have something else I am watching
My red lunchbox is done. While I made a zipper pull and fixed the edge paint, I am not sure I did much of anything else other than make it look darker red.

Trolling the archives (again) and found this -
That patch brings back wonderful memories with my littles! We loved the science center there and I had no idea there was a patch. If these bags could talk

I have many happy memories of enjoying the seaside at Tybee Island, GA - it's such a beautiful spot!
