Be careful and don't let it dry in an odd shape ... let it dry in the shape it's supposed to be - because once it dries (and too, don't stretch the leather) it will BE in that shape ...
This is SO GORGEOUS! For all my leather knowledge and crafting I never knew you could give a bag a bath!!!
Me neither? I re-read the post a few times to see if I read correctly!
You can't give a bath to every leather bag, I recently picked up a natural leather Kooba hobo at the thrift store as a rehab project, but I can't get it wet because that will ruin the leather. So do some research before you dunk your bag.
But many of the the vintage, unlined, glove-tanned Coach bags just come back to life with a bath and a little TLC. Check out some of the posts at the link below:

Warning! Rehabbing is a lot of fun but it's addictive!
