Depends on how much water. I have a big deep sink and fill it up probably 1/3 way to submerge a bag, so maybe 1/4 cup vinegar? You should be safe anywhere from 1/4-1/2 cup, if you have a few gallons of dunking water.

I don’t sand, but 0000 steel wool is very helpful in getting off old lacquer and layers of tarnish. Doesn’t scratch.
I've never had a problem with any of them. I've dunked several courts. I've even forgotten bags and left them to soak for over an hour. The only problem I ever had was the handles on a slim satchel that had a hole in the stitching. The handle got kind of mushy because the water got inside. I've dunked other bags with those kind of handles without a problem.
I’ve used Leather Therapy, Leather Honey, Chamberlains, Lexol, and a few others. Each situation will dictate what’s needed. I like the Leather Therapy (used sparingly) for dry bags but I never use it on lighter colors. Chamberlains left a film so I stopped using it. I’ve heard good things about Apple but haven’t ever used it.
I have Met-all brass and copper polish as well as Wenol - but they don't seem to take off all of the heavy tarnish on the turnlocks from the 90's bags I have which need rehabbing. I am waiting on Blue Magic - I saw rave reviews for using it on Coach brassware on You-tube. The first batch I ordered went astray in the mail
so I have reordered. I will report on it when I receive it, hopefully this weekend.
Excited to be rehabbing an Andrea slim bucket for my friend Andrea 
. I've been saying to myself for years I would get her one, and was the only bidder on this ebay listing (seller's photos). A few small bad areas on the front and some wear to the piping. I will see how she looks after CPR, Black Rocks and Chamberlains leather balsam.

Nice find - that looks a lot like a Wall Street Briefcase which retailed in '92 for $406.
Tried the Kiwi leather dye on an old British tan hangtag that was totally messed up when I tried to dye it navy with aniline dye. It's now a solid black - Love! Love! Love!
Me again - has anyone ever dunked a Berkeley bag? Did it turn out well? Any special procedure for this type of bag? Thanks.
Thank you! I bought this product and I like how it works. I think the splits in the strap of my Scout bag look much better now, and I also used it to fix a ripping leather attachment on a tribeca bag. Yay!
Yep, you rehab it just like any other leather bag except you don't condition the suede. You can use conditioner on the smooth leather on the inside. Brush the suede after it dries.

Hi everyone ! I purchased a tea rose rogue that the fixed handle had come off. I am pretty sure it is an easy fix, but wondering if I should just do it myself or send it in to Coach to be repaired? I know I will have to get new rivets, but I think that should be it. Anyone had any experience with this type issue ? Thanks so much !
Could we have an update on the painted bag? Inquiring minds want to know!
