I began rehabbing with Leather Therapy R /C and Blackrock with decent results. I went on to try CPR and Renapur from recommendations here, with crazy good results on my last two rehabs, a BT Letter Brief and Rust Saddle Bad. If interested search my ID and the bag names for the process.Another cleaner/conditioner question from a newbie with limited access to specific products because of living in Canada.
I found Leather CPR Cleaner and Conditioner on Amazon (.ca) along with Renapur as a (hopefully good) substitute for Blackrock Leather n Rich. Blackrock was only available in the US and the shipping cost was triple the price of the product!
My current project is to restore colour to slightly faded piping on my newly restored (unfortunately with Coach Moisturizer) black Abbie. Should I clean Abbie again with CPR and then use the Renapur all over the bag or just the piping to restore the black colour?
Many thanks for any and all suggestions!

Anyone know how to clean Signature Canvas?...got these for $2. The insoles are filthy.
I dunked a Siggy Pouch, not because it was dirty, but from a thrift shop and to reshape it. I put it in the sink with a squirt of Dawn dish detergent and used a tooth brush on it.
ETA Cute!
I would wash them. Maybe not get the soles super soaked. The rubber can be cleaned with alcohol.
I have used Coach Signature Fabric Cleaner with good results.

I agree, that it is British Tan, great job! The tangerine is bright orange as you can see from the second bag from the front in the picture below.

Aolbout 95% complete, my first ever attempt at rehabbing a non-vintage, lined bag. I had found this Bleecker XL Flap in bottle green for $42 and the leather was on the dry side and squished, but it had life left in it. So here it is before, during, and after a dunk, 5 coats of Leather CPR, and...

I would put them in a pillow case and toss them in the washing machine.
Already given them a bath..just scrubbed them over the sink and gave them a rinse...looking better already.
The brief rehabbed beautifully. It got a bath, about 4 coats of CPR, and two coats of Blackrock. It had some color loss on the piping in the front corners and where the flap bends over the top of the bag but most of it came back with the conditioning and blackrock so it's not terribly noticeable now. I love the color - I think this is burgundy?
Great work, mpd, and beautiful outcome! It is even more special given that it was your Dad's!
The experienced vintage Coachers will know, but possibly the colour is mahogany?

One more - a NYC classic shoulder flap from goodwill. It was in good overall condition, just dirty and flattened. After a bath and some conditioning, she is looking lovely again.

It looks great! I agree that this looks like Saddle!
