Gorgeous! That will be a very happy friend!OG red Rambler rehab is complete! It was already in great shape but looks even better after a dunk, CPR & Renapur. I also did two horse hair buffing sessions on it. This beauty is going to a good bag friend of mine so I really wanted to make it look as nice as possible(anyone else ever worry their rehabs aren’t good enough?
).

Thank you all! She’s no longer active on the forum or else I would’ve totally left it up to her to reveal the bag post-rehab… it was too pretty not to share
The only thing I know of getting rid of the mothball smell is to air, air and then air again, and it really needs to be done outsideThis navy and tan Glenwood Sheridan is gorgeous but I must resist because I have too many bags already!
I'm just curious, has anyone ever tried to get the smell of moth balls out of a bag? Will a bath remove that smell or is something else needed?

I once used charcoal to remove cigarette smoke smell but I've never had to deal with mothball odor.
I just ran across this very old tPF thread that addresses mothballs, smoke, etc.
Moth ball smell
Hello everyone ! Does anyone know if there is already a thread about removing moth ball scent? Thanks !!

Hi All,
need some advice here
i would like to make full use of this pouch and make it as crossbody too.
is it advisable to “poke” hole (circle in red) on the leather and insert D Ring on it?
have anyone have similar adjustments to the bag and any wear and tear from it?
thank you in advance

It's your bag and you can do what you want with it - but that looks like a valuable bag that shouldn't have holes poked into it - at least not in my opinion.
Could you show us more pictures of the bag to help us better understand how you wish to alter it? Maybe we can offer some alternative suggestions.
If you do decide that you want to attach a ring (or rings) it might be best to take it to a shoe repair shop and have it done by a professional.
Hi @katev ,
thanks for your thoughts and yes I did think to visit shoe repair shop as well.
here you go for the clutch picture. This is actually a Kisslock Clutch (#901). Currently have 1 D ring on it for the hangtag and wrist strap. I asked the boutique to customize and add another D ring on the opposite side previously but they can’t.

Cute bag! What crossbody strap will you use with it if you decide to have another d-ring added?
If it was my bag, I wouldn't alter it and I would just use it as a clutch or wristlet as designed; but I would also start looking for another bag that was made to be worn crossbody - or perhaps that could be used as either a clutch and crossbody; maybe a Coach Nora bag.
But like I said before, it's your bag and your decision, good luck!

I think there are some clasps you can attach on the inside and are so slim the kisslock can still close over them. That way there is nothing visible on the exterior and when you aren't using the strap, the clasps fold down inside the bag.Hi All,

One person to ask is someone who has done a lot of bag modifications - @Sunshine mama
I deleted my post last night but Im very upset this morning with the seller’s response. I received this black Winnie yesterday & it’s completely covered in shoe polish. It feels like hard plastic, there are cracks all over the leather- piping, handle, above the turn lock etc. from the polish drying out the leather. The smell is an extremely strong chemical smell as well. The seller refuses to admit she polished the bag & is claiming the strong smell is just moth balls from storage. I opened a dispute on PayPal & she is still continuing to lie. I asked her before buying if anything was applied to the bag at all, she said no.
She sent me a picture of the conditioners she uses this morning & one of them is a bottle of leather CPR. Are you a member here? If so, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for doing this to somebody & then lying about it:
You guys see what Im talking about right? I feel like Im being gaslit.
