What causes the wrinkling? I had that happen with another bag. At first I thought it was just dry but the wrinkly appearance remained after conditioning. [emoji20]
I'm not sure...I haven't had this problem with bags. This wallet was pretty old -the inside of the change purse was completely green and the license cover plastic is slightly cracked. Not really sure how to save it :/. the inside skin kind of "moulted" when I was gently cleaning with a baby toothbrush.
In the case of my wallet, it was stretched out.
The molting is common with Dooney wallets. There are some that are worse than others. I usually scrub the inside of the coin pocket with a damp washcloth but I'm more gentle with the rest of the inside.
Looks great! You did an really good job.A little Sunday funday dunking! Dawn dunk, 3 coats Leather CPR, Leather Therapy applied to super dry edges, and will let dry overnight to reevaluate for more CPR or Blackrocks. Thanks Goodwill for all the rehab projects you supply!
I like all you finds, especially the City bag.
Can you post a picture? I don't know which bag you are talking about. I've dunked a pebbled bag before.
I don't have a pic with me at work- but it looks like this one- but more worn around the edges obviously. I can post one later tonight....
I think you could dunk it but I've never dunked one. I've dunked Sonomas which seem similar.
Hello ladies, just a quick stop to share my success matching a color that till now to me was a challenge, so in case it helps you here it is.
The corner of this bag, the one that rubs the most as shoulder bag, had not only become discolored but looked almost orange (sorry no before picture). So mixing these two paints (I found it at my local Walmart as new product), matched the original metallic bronze (or is it antique gold? LOL) perfectly. Judge by yourselves

Nice job!
Thank you ladies. I am very happy because I love this bag.
I should add that I did not mixed it in equal parts to match the color, you have to play a bit with it to find the right ratio.
Have any of you seen this kind of stain/damage before? Any clue what it is? How did you treat it? I haven't washed the bag yet.
It looks like mold. I use a solution mixed 50/50 of denatured alcohol and water to kill the mold spores. Use a conditioner that inhibits mold growth after the bath. Vinegar in the bath will also help kill the mold, and dry it in the sun.
