looks nice! I'll be looking forward to reading about your experiences with leather filler; I've never gotten around to trying it. Honestly, I can't get myself motivated lately to work on anything. My poor bags are being neglected.

I dunked my mahogany Basic Bag with glued-in serial number with minimal dye loss so she's hanging out to dry now. Can't wait to condition her!
Do I dunk my pre-serial red Watermelon tote? Any opinions greatly appreciated.
Also, my burgundy Sonoma Nubuc back pack arrived and she definitely needs cleaning. I think I've read here that it's OK to dunk nubuc?

Thanks coach943. It's been great fun. Love your blog.
Thanks Whateve. I'm not even sure where I can get it yet but if I can find some I'll post another 'after' pic. You have to be in the right mood don't you? I'm sure you'll get back into it.
I think I take to many picsthe strap and hang tag are laying out on a towel to dry!
Looks good so far...And I agree about the stuffing!
Gorgeous bag...great rehab!
Good luck with the pin holes...let us know how you do it...still gorgeous!
2013 was a colorful year for me! I added navy, green and even pink leather and an assortment of colorful signature and patchwork bags to my collection! This little 1994 Casino Bag #9924 in bottle green was in amazing condition from Goodwill for well under $20.

She really just needed a little reshaping and conditioning, so into the sink she went! Warm sudsy soak and toothbrush scrub with Dawn. I used Tarni-Shield on the brass hardware. (I like using it in the bath so I know I get it off the leather.) Good rinse and stuff. Leather CPR 2X while still a little damp, resting a day in between. Blackrocks 2X also with a rest. Buff with a horsehair blend brush and microfiber cloth and were done...and happy!

I checked this morning and sheis almost completely dry on the outside! Should I add some leather CPR?! Also it looks like a little color fading (I don't know if it is just dry) around the bag. Some where it scrubbed! (I swear I did not scrub to hard!) will it come back with moisturizer? The bag does seem dry... Should I wait until it is completely dry? Thanks for you help!
