Coach Rehab and Rescue Club

I have a neutral Plaza, the large one, that I am just unexcited about. It has a noticeable stain on the front that did not budge with dunking twice. I read a suggestion to use an enzymatic stain remover on it. I am now interested trying that along with saddle cleaning. I found this video on YT so you don’t need an app to watch it, like IG or TikTok.

I hate it! They could have replaced the handles with something that looked like the original.

Same!

It's a rehab weekend. Working on 5 bags at once. That ugly strap is a goner from the black bag. I sure love those Nomad hobos! That bag with the tea rose I got that for like $18. I'm going to fix it up and sell it.

Edited to say “trying that along with saddle soap cleaning”.

I have had my eye on a natural vachetta Poppy bag for a while. Several times, by the time I make up my mind to pull the trigger, it’s gone!
Edited, but I need to get moving on my boots. And get my rusty’s and BT’s ready for fall duty.

I'm always on the lookout for bargains! Both of these were. Poshmark! What I really like about Poshmark is the reasonable shipping costs, plus the "make an offer" option. The whipstitch was $22 and the buckle bucket was $20. (plus tax and shipping). Here's another whipstitch with matching wallet and dustbag for $110: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-...-Front-Flaps-Buckles-64beccb5c5df6c6595506beb (much better condition than mine). And here's one for $85 with the longer strap, too. https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-...-Front-Flaps-Buckles-66c4d352c479b8ae74ca85dc Make 'em an offer!

I'm so envious of you guys being able to get cute bags for cheap...*sigh*.

Sometimes being at the bottom of the world is a pain.

Hopefully someone here can offer a suggestion. My Elderberry Sonoma Double Zip Nubuc 4941 has a tear on the loop sewn to the bag that also holds the strap. I have a local cobbler I've used a couple of times with mediocre results and I think this project is out of his realm of expertise. It would either need an entirely new piece of Nubuc to replace the torn piece to hold the ring or a "cut and pull tighter" type fix to be resewn. Also, because of the lining and the bag being a double zip, getting inside the lining to replace or repair the loop might be near impossible and a lot more expensive fix.

My current options seem to be: either donate or sell "as is" OR use a suitable glue product. Considering how much weight that loop has to support, would the right glue product even do the trick? Or would glue/cement be too visible?

Thanks for any input!

Although it's a Dooney...its come up nice with a clean and condition.
CPR is great stuff.

Beautiful! They should pay us for promoting CPR!

Ok...need advice.

You can spray or wipe the bag down with white vinegar (5% acidity) to kill any mold spores. A suede eraser and suede brush should help clean up the inside.

Yes...ment to do that after lunch...but I was naughty and used the stripper on the bottom.
The stain is mighty looking while it's wet.
But I think it will look better when dry.
