Totally off topic but I saw a currant Court and now I want one.
Good job! She looks brand new

Also, same about the currant court. It's so pretty. I love my court.

Getting ready to dunk! Tribeca was musty, so wiped her down with straight vinegar inside out and left her in the sun all day. Now she's going to get a soak with lots more vinegar. She photographed inside better than she did outside. Mitchell refuses to photograph green.
Tribeca has some significant scratches on the front(disclosed) and one place where it looks like somebody stabbed it with a fork

That looks like a tough repair. You might start with trying to get some glue in between those layers to stabilize . It may be a process of glueing then resewing. No telling how it will look or how durable the repair will be. If you take it to a cobbler/purse repair they will simply tell you to replace the strap which is the simplest answer.
Etsy has lots of replacement straps, and also various types of D-rings replacements that attach different ways. Muatto is a good vendor. You can remove the old strap, attach new d rings and use a new strap.
Welcome! I agree with pammbw that it could be a tricky repair, but we love folks who are willing to go for it! Re-gluing the layers is a great first step if you plan to keep the original strap. You might then consider resewing where you have solid leather, possibly including horizontally across the strap, to better distribute the load. Keep us posted!

Glad somebody bought this. I thought about it for the court, but the light color scares me. I hope it was someone here so I can see how it goes with rehab.
great minds lol . . . I saw this listing this morning and was going to revive the "WYRTB" thread with itrehab bundle

What is WYRTB?
A thread I created ages ago, in the general Coach forum, Would You Rehab This Bag . . . where we would all post hot mess bags. Have a little fun, goad each other into buying awful bags
or get a real opinion on if something was too far gone.No posts in a while, so it is buried a few pages back. This will take you there.

Lol, the funny thing was, I almost wrote the original post as “House, whateve, are you punking . . .
And you two responded immediately.

Has anyone else seen the new Debi the Restorer videos? Is one she uses cuticle remover to get rid of ink stains. I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet; I'm going to go through some of my pile tomorrow and see if I can find a guinea pig! Interesting! something like this...

Wow you are so thorough! I hope this does the trick! Slow clap for the level of commitment. Kind of interesting, seeing the mystic of the Willis stripped down to its basic elements. Back in the day, when Coach was cranking a gazillion bags with dowels, I wonder if they had employees who sat...

Glad that spoon helped you, don’t know if I was the first one shared here, but the curved belly of a rigid small spoon really made the jobs easier for me too.Coach Rehab and Rescue Club

Interesting! something like this...Thanks to you ladies I just had a rather easy time of getting the turn lock hardware back on my Rambler by angling the prongs in a little and then using the spoon to press the prongs down. That spoon is a game changer, at least for meCoach Rehab and Rescue Club

Agree. I wanted to avoid replacing the strap if at all possible. So, I started in on it and pulled the strap off. The leather had been stretched on one side and torn the slightest bit on each side. I decided to shorten the length of the strap and cut the damaged portion off. I still had room to work with in terms of length and thought rather than hope that my mending work would hold, I’d eliminate the hope all together! The interface underneath was badly deteriorated, so I replaced a small portion and it looks much better even without the edgekote. My challenge will be reattaching it but I’ll keep you all posted. Thanks for the insight and for reading!!
Thank you!! Going to see what I can accomplish, may or may not be worth it, but at least I tried it! Thanks for reading!
