I think I've asked this before but has anyone ever applied Renapur to a bag that isn't 100 per cent dry? I think my Ergo is like 95 per cent dry but was too impatient and applied it... it should be fine, right?

Does it look fine? No darkening or spotting? You should be ok I think

Oh man, that Murphy.

I’ve never seen/heard of an Emmie until now. It’s such a nice shape!

I'm loving the Murphy too! I'd never seen an Emmie bag before, either - but I like it!

 

[katev]

Wow! If these are the bags she didn’t want, what kind of bag is your friend now into??

She's retired now and they are downsizing and plan to sell their house. She says that she often just carries wristlets nowadays!

I found this picture of Emmie Flap Bags 9018 on the internet and they sure are cuties!

Thanks to all who responded about Coach repairs. Think I will try the cobbler route. I really hate to ship that bag out again.

Emmies are super cute!! Was my most expensive bag before the Winnie I just got. Great deal!!

Now that I think about it, I have actually seen (pictures) of Emmie bags before but I thought that they were called Emily bags! Does anyone know if "Emmie" is just a nickname for "Emily" or am I totally confused about the actual name of this cute little bag?!

Here's another photo from the internet that shows the Emmie bag next to a Basic Bag and a Station Bag so you can see the relative sizes of the bag.

Catalog calls it an Emmie, the style number is 9018 There was one recently posted to the rehab thread, I believe it was Periwinkle. Here’s a blurry catalog pic I found on google:

Basic rehab question: are we supposed to apply leather conditioner to the sueded surfaces? I have not been, only to the finished side of bags and straps, but I don’t sweat it if some conditioner gets on the sueded side.

I am really enjoying everybody’s catalog photos. A lot of foresight to save those!

I don't.

Hi ladies, this isn’t exactly a rehab question per se do feel free to redirect my query elsewhere. I just received a Quincey and rediscovered how short I am. Is it possible to shorten the strap without chopping it? I love it but it does make me feel and look hobbit sized

You can knot the strap. That’s what I did with my scooter when I had one. I didn’t like the knot at first but it grew on me. I took the bag all over the place & no one ever cared or noticed that there was a knot. Here’s the only pic I seem to have of the knot:


This is probably the only way unless you permanently get the strap shortened since it’s one tubular piece of leather. Sorry

Eta: forgot to mention it, but in my pic the knot is done loosely because I took the picture as an example for when I listed the bag. You can tighten the knot which makes it smaller than what’s shown by pulling it upwards if that makes sense.

I know you will but psa do remember to keep it well conditioned as my distressed nyc dinky was knotted and had cracked lol

eta I've been preferring chamberlain's healing balm over leather therapy because I'm an oversaturator and I somehow don't do that w/ the balm. Anyway, when I have time I'll redunk the dinky and try it on the cracks.
