Oh ok yeah that makes sense to do that while it’s still wet. I appreciate your tips thank you so much!The bag you're getting looks to have a detachable strap. If you find you need to use a different set of strap holes than the previous owner, when you dunk is a good time to straighten the strap. Then you can get a fresh start with the right hole "kink" for yourself.
I wasn't able to find Meltonian at my local cobbler/shoe repair, but have gotten it on Amazon. Or check the Meltonian website. Some eBay sellers have it too.
When I began reading about your treadmill, I thought sure you were going to finish with "I hang my Coach bags on it".
Hahaha! No I just recently got into getting Coach bags but I hang out laundry on it sometimes. I need to oil the band and use it to possibly lose the 30+ pounds I gained over Covid 😒😝
This isn't Coach but I wanted to share it with my fellow Coach Rehabbers because I know that you will appreciate it! Recently, I was out thrifting when I found a gorgeous, NWT Italian Lambskin designer bag from 2006 priced at only $3 (the retail price was $645)! I immediately bought it and took it home and it hardly needed any rehabbing work, just some moisturizer.
Of course, this doesn't surpass once finding a Bonnie Cashin Pre-Creed Coach bag in the thrift store for only $2, but it is still a beautiful bag and I am happy with my purchase!
I've posted pictures of my lovely new-to-me bag at the link below:

I'm Very Late, But Here Is My NWT Slate Gray Kooba Sloane Tote!
I first became interested in designer bags in the mid 2000's and I was aware of Kooba bags as a beautiful, high-end line of bags, but they were starting to become less popular around that time and so I never got into them. Now they are out-of-business. I like both new and older bags, and I also...

Never heard of Kooba... You got me interested and I just found one I wanted.

It looks great! Just a word of caution, in researching them I heard that fake Koobas were an issue. Someone also shared the opinion that the company started to decline because quality had suffered. I don’t know enough about them to offer an opinion; but for $10 - it’s certainly worth the risk! Good luck and let us know what happens!
Need to condition all my bags...now that I have a new bottle of CPR.
This one is called Jane's Bottle.

Dear All,
I have a Tribeca #9098 in Mahogany that I purchased used before prices exploded for vintage purses. The purse was in good condition (looked barely used) but was exceptionally dry. I treated it with with Apple Brand leather care and Blackrock as I did not have Leather CPR at the time. It is difficult to get and quite expensive to purchase from overseas (I live in Germany). However, I do have some now.
I was about to use the purse today and saw that on one of the leather straps, the leather loop area around the brass ring has deteriorated (a bit of crumbling).
What has prevented the leather from tearing completely through is the stitching (please see pictures). I have now put on the Leather CPR today and plan to repeat the process over the next two days in the hope that it will prevent further damage.
Does anyone have any experience with repairing such a problem or any tips of what I could try to reinforce the edges?
Thank you in advance!

Picked up in Corktown in TO? Lol. Saw that too late. Lucky swipe. She’s gorgeous.
All I've ever been able to do is use Fabric Glue to try and stabilize cracks in leather. I think the link below from 2021 is the last time that I posted this question, but if anyone has other suggestions then I would love to hear them, too!

I don’t soak my straps as long as the bag either. Why?

There's a coincidence - I just found these two videos, a before and after, where sanding was used to smooth out surface scratches on a Coach bag: Before and After. In the after video the poster claims that the scratches can no longer be seen in person even though the camera picks them up. I find that hard to believe.
Has anyone here sanded a bag's surface and would you please share your thoughts on the results? I searched the thread and the references related to sanding involved suede.
Thanks so much! It was such a great collection. As for the Pendleton's collection, 2015 was a challenging year and I somehow missed it despite being on Roots' mailing list. Perhaps they'll reissue given how successful those collections were. They've had some nice reissues in the last few months to mark their 50th anniversary. Fingers crossed!

I remember when Kooba and Furla were huge 20 years ago and was surprised to see that their popularity declined. At the time, I looked at Furla more than Kooba, but can confirm both had great designs. 😊
This croc embossed suede Furla is still one of my favorite winter bags and I've had it for years!
Which COACH bag are you carrying today?
So glad I took a chance & got this bag. Perfect for February! Perfect choice of wallet!
