The challenge with a foam wash is it is harder to control where it goes. You only want it on the dirty/soiled areas, not spreading over the leather.

I have never used foaming wash but if you do, don't pump to make it foam.. open the container and use a fine tip paint brush and dip in the liquid and apply only on the stain. Good luck! Keep us posted how it goes.
Hi all,
Has anyone done rehab on Berkeleys (suede side out) before? I'm wondering whether there's any tip on how to dunk and clean it if it's any different. I usually don't do anything to the suede side when I dunk regular Coach bags. I have only paid attention to external leather. Do you wash Berkeley normally and just use suede brushes to make it smooth after it dries? I have a Berkeley duffle sac that has storage odor and want to get rid of it by dunking. Any suggestions appreciated!!

Yes...the only thing I did is not get any CPR on the suede.
Hello everyone! Wondering if I’d be able to get any opinions on if these edges might darken up nicely based upon experience? I’ve never done red before and don’t know what to expect. Also not sure what the price range should be. All advice welcome, thank you!

Whats everyone rehabing this weekend?
Ive done reds before and just about all of mine have come back...I think everyone love Blackrock to help bring the colour back on edges. I use renapur myself.
You can always add a bit of colourmatched red to your CPR and use it on those corners if you feel inclined.
Other opinions welcomed.
Will do once done buffing!
Thank you! Yes, I’ve built up my supplies to contain black rock and I just used it on 3 of my bags that I previously dunked and conditioned (and put aside) and am thrilled at the result! The price is high and is now lowered to $275 for a NYC original rambler and I have no idea if that’s reasonable…
I've got a beautiful navy Metropolis to start! I'd forgotten how much I love that style!
What about you, Narnanz?Im not really the person to ask as Im in New Zealand and they all end up being expensive to me.
I wouldnt pass up a red Rambler myself. My Mahogany one set me back over NZ$350 to buy but was worth it.
Some of the wonderful American gals might have a better idea if thats a good price.
Im re-rehabbing a pocket bag I gave my bestie two years ago for Christmas.I've got a beautiful navy Metropolis to start! I'd forgotten how much I love that style!
She has worn it to death..it has a whole I have to fix as well. I dont mind at all doing it again.
I gave her my Blavy Stewardess for Christmas and she cant get over how much room she has compared to the pocket bag.
I also have to Renapur my black Courier and buff like crazy. And do a repair on my aqua drawstring backpack.
I will be continuing my dyeing education on my two bratty ivory bags. I've learned more on this dye journey and have kept notes so when I either a.) succeed in my eyes or b.) succumb to less than perfect, I will happily share. Pros, cons, etc. I know the thought of dyeing is sacrilegious for vintage but there are times where it just needs to be done.
I bought a Collegiate! She will hopefully arrive tomorrow but probably Saturday.
This isn't a rehab question but does anyone own one of the current barrel bags? Just wondering what thoughts were on the leather and structure of the bag.

LOL @ the difference in room between a Stewardess and pocket bag. Like going from a studio apartment to a 2 bedroom with a loft.
"Blavy" cracks me up each time.
I should use my black one again at some point! I don’t go out enough!I've got a beautiful navy Metropolis to start! I'd forgotten how much I love that style!
