This required a full dose of Ritalin. Improvements so far, color correction not done yet.

Decided to make a new, shorter shoulder strap.

Thank you!
Actually didn't do much so far. There was a piece of leather, it was like a small piece had scraped off but was still attached, (forgot to take pics), just put a tiny drop of leather glue on a safety pin and glued it back in place. Used lexol cleaner then conditioner, and stuffed the bent handle. Tomorrow the Tarrago shoe cream is coming so any color correction can be done.
The top seams of the bag had the backing exposed, pulled that out with tweezers. Don't miss it haha.
