One of the first things I noticed was how nice the handles look! I use dawn with some cornstarch and a toothbrush too, and use For Handles Only after, it really helps. All of my bags are pre-loved and a few have come with handles that needed work! Nice job!Thankyou!
Thankyou! Your beautiful red RM inspired me to dig it out of the closet. I had totally forgotten about it. I think I had stuffed it away because the handles were sadly darkened. Last night tho, I decided to wash them, so I got out an old sonicare toothbrush that I sometimes use for cleaning jewelry, and went at those handles with it & some Dawn dish detergent. I’m so pleased with how they came out.

It's from Lovin' My Bags, prevents darkening of handles. It comes in a jar, when I got it over the summer it was on sale. Works really well!
I love tomato red! I will be pulling out 2 reds I have soon for their Christmas run! Does your bag have a bit of sheen to the leather? I have picked a few Coach bags from the late ‘00s with a bit of a sheen that makes them forgiving of rain drops!
I need to work on my photo skills in general. A lot of natural light helped this bag out! It was a photogenic moment lol.
Me too. Someone on Coach rehab has used a leather degreaser intended for oils accumulated on leather furniture, upholstery, etc that I wanted to get. I may get this first!
And I did let go of two bags this week. I did take the brown Coach Lunch Tote and a red Nine West in almost the same style to a resale shop that pays cash. Got a little cash and let them move on to be someone else’s find! They both had a black fabric lining that contributed to awkwardness when in use.
Am going to this flea market this weekend to see if this seller wants two other bags. The purge is starting.

Oroton Sig tote in Navy...was given to me by a friend of my mother's who didn't like it at all.
I'm not a fan of compartmentalized bags so we shall see how long it lasts me this week.

I majorly failed, only lasted 1 day maybe? Went back to the red RM, not sure what this week's will be.
Nothing. I’m just fickle when it comes to bags ( and jewelry by the way). I’m always switching on a whim.
I doubt I’ll stick with this one for a week either. 
Noh ibg was "wrong" with it, I just missed my red bag!

Changing out for Patty today. Did a full week with the Oroton and she went ok...but wanted a bright bag for my 11 hrs shift today.
I'm changing my BOTW. I may not know until Sunday. It might be this again.
