It’s actually a Willis 9927. I just thought it’d been abused.

here’s that corner pipping that was fixed with the help of my bff purse piggy2B- ty Whateve for ur advice - hopefully all my posting of this rehab wasn’t too messy as i was trying to figure out the best ways for the before & after…. Can’t take all the credit- Purse piggy 2B is my talented bff, he’s a contractor that has master skills. Between the guidance of everyone here, my tenacious artistic bent & purse piggy 2B love for the impossible… it came together.

Looks like new! Fantastic job.
It looks fantastic! You can't tell it was ever torn. What exactly did you use?
1. pulled the pipping back in tightly- like pulling on a slipped draw string
2. applies small amounts of cement w tooth pick & kept working the leather sides up between my fingers & using tweezers to stretch, applying tiny amounts of cement- took about 30 min- did it very gingerly.
3. polish & conditioned bag- brushed & polished with a cloth
4. took tiny scissors & clipped any leather pills that came up over the repaired seam.
5. used burnishing cream & worked edges down
6. touched up seam with colored leather filler.
7. took extra fine file/polish nail file, smoothed down filler.
8. cloth polish bag.
so here's a question for you experts out there.. After a dunk, do you use Leather CPR on both sides of the leather or just the 'finished' side? ie: for bags with a sueded interior, do you CPR those surfaces too?
I only do the finished side.
Wow...I got that wrong...but either way...still...poor thing.
Just the smooth leather parts. Sometimes I'll brush the suede parts.
Morning Rehabbers!
I bought this waverly in lime for super cheap. The front and sides are perfect! But the back has staining that looks slightly blue…maybe color transfer from jeans? Only thing that makes me think it’s something else is it’s also near the zipper on the other side. Any thoughts on how to lighten it and make it look slightly better? I’m not expecting them to fade completely, but I figured I should at least give it a shot!

What does "burnish the straps" mean, and how do you do it? Anyone? 
Edit: I watched this video. Do you guys put another product on top after burnishing?
