So pretty! I think I need a burgundy basic bag.
Love this bag!I finished this beautiful Large Legacy Shopper 9090 for a friend today. It came out beautifully!

They are beautiful! I am not a bright red bag person, so this shade of burgundy really appeals to me! New wishlist item!
A lot of us use it as a finisher, so you use it after you’ve completed your rehab (dunk & cpr) as a final step. Apply a light coat with the sponge provided & then buff (horse hair brush or a cloth- depending on what you prefer). If you accidentally apply too much, you can wipe off the excess. It won’t change the colour of your bags so don’t be afraid to use it (except on suede). Also, if you notice the bag is a bit dry, you can do more applications. I like to space mine out a day or two apart. For maintenance, I like to condition my bags every 6-8 weeks. You can condition as often as you’d like. Hope this helps
Hello! Not sure if you all can help, but Help!! I took a coach purse out of storage today and needed to dust it off, so I got a microfiber cloth with just water and wiped the outside down and the zippers/pulls. After it dried i ended up with this staining that initially seem oily but its now hard. Like a glue seeped through but not sure at all. So wierd!!! Does anyone know how to fix this. I've had it for 8 years and I love this bag.

I've seen that around zippers. It does seem like glue. I've never been successful at cleaning it. Is there any staining on the exterior?Hello! Not sure if you all can help, but Help!!
No the outside leather looks great. Just the lining. Thank you.
(in a good way!)

To add to Coachaddict4020's informative post... I have recently started heating the Renapur with a hairdryer while it is on the sponge, then very carefully run the warm air over the leather. I let the bag sit for several days, running the warm hairdryer over it periodically, and allow the Renapur to be absorbed over time. Buffing with a soft cloth and horse or goats hair brush as the final step gives a glorious end result.
Oohhh beautiful burgundy! Your corner repair looks great.
Also - BAG TWINS! I finished a burgundy basic bag (without a strap) recently, and just bought a burgundy saddle pouch.
Echoing a convo from the Vintage Chat thread earlier this week...I lost my burgundy basic bag for about a week. My 3 year old decided it was hers and stole it, haha. I managed to get it back by moving her play “phone” and crayons and the notepad she also stole into a different/beat up/mahogany basic bag I bought as a project bag last year. So...she still has a vintage Coach. Lol.
ETA: I love old basic bags, I find the shape super satisfying in lovely old leather. I carry them as a clutch or as a smaller purse inside a larger work bag like a giant tote, so I don’t mind ones with missing straps!
I love them too; they're great for everyday quick trips, fit all the necessities perfectly. I have 3 now, haha, brown, black, and my new burgundy. I'm in love with burgundy right now too.
