That's interesting to hear - I've been using R but have BR on the way. Maybe I'll test and compare them, one each on two Basics.

It’s pretty red flaggy that she never responded to your initial message until your husband opened a case. I think she knew the bag was painted & thought if she ignored you, the problem would just go away
This is just a risk you take when you become a seller, tough luck. I once got a fake daypack and the seller wouldn’t believe that it wasn’t authentic. I thankfully got to return it because ebay sided with me.
Bingo! And I'm sure I'm going to have to fight to be refunded.
I finished my rust Convertible Clutch a couple of days ago but it’s been raining so it’s been hard to get good lighting. I dunked because the piping was faded and to reshape it. The turnlock had pitting on it which I had to buff out.
The coloring came back and evened out the front and it looks a lot more vibrant in person, plus the leather plumped up. It wasn’t a very complicated rehab except for putting the turnlock back on which has always been a challenge lol.
I agree that BlackRocks and Renapur are very similar and I like/use both products. I think that they both give the bag a nice finishing glow but there is one major difference in my opinion. BlackRocks will darken the leather a little, that's not always desirable but when the bag has light areas, dark spots, or uneven coloration that you want to camoflage, then I think that BRs is the better choice.
When it darkens the leather (just a little bit) the flaws may become less noticable. Below are pics of a Camel Willis that I originally finished with Renapur, but I was unhappy with the appearance so I took it back to the bath and redid the rehab, finishing with BlackRocks. It wasn't perfect but I thought that it looked better with BRs.

I've never heard of the curly girl method. I've always hated my curly hair. The curls never go the right direction. I stopped using shampoo over a year ago because my hair is dry. I didn't realize that was a good thing to do for curly hair. Most of the time I like to straighten it but I only...

It looks like a different bag!
Ok, so this isn’t a vintage piece and it’s been a long while since I have even done this. First time with a canvas piece. My DH for Christmas gave me my first Coach piece ever......
10 years ago.
I never had anything designer and wanted this one little wristlet, I didn’t even know the difference between canvas and leather. Lol
The love of Coach came. Down ward spiral from there. I still have this piece and adore it. Definitely used.
she needed some attention. So I dipped and soaked and scrubbed and polished and conditioned. She looks a little better. And got the loving she needed. I’ll take suggestions too!
The first 4 are before.
last 5 are after.

Hello,
I regularly use the authentication portion of this forum. However, I seldom use this forum, so I hope my format is correct.
I recently purchased a Coach Madison Sutton (4410). The care card was inside the bag and states not to use Coach cleaner nor conditioner. It states to clean with soap and water. My question, how do you clean the inside? The inside of the bag is very clean - no stains. But this is a used bag so how do I sanitize the interior? Thank you.

I use a generic foaming fabric cleaner on my fabric-lined interior bags.
ETA: I also just spray and wipe with some Dettol... Let me shut up and let the experienced and skilled rehabbers take this one
I've seen Apple Garde mentioned on here but I can't get it in the UK unless I pay enormous shipping and tax. However, I can get the Kiwi ones for a very affordable price. States can be used on suede, leather or textile accessories. I want to use it on my new chalk Dinky and maybe my vintages.
Does anybody have experience with them? Thoughts?

For fabric lined bags, a tiny bit of white vinegar diluted with water in a spray bottle works great. Just spray the interior, wipe & leave it to air dry for a while.
I’ve also used Lysol disinfectant wipes in the past. If you can get the “Sun-kissed Linen” scented ones, they smell lovely & not “chemically”

Omg Dettol?! I’ve always hated the smell of that stuff lol!
Can you smell it on the fabric afterwards?
