Thanks. It's an early version of the convertible clutch 9635. I've seen it at least 3 times. It's from the early 70s. It looks to be in excellent condition.

Thank you SO much for the authentication. I appreciate your time.

The outer flap is yellowing just a little bit. I think this is a question for the ‘rehab’ forum but I’d like to take my shot with your opinion on weather or not I should try to brighten it back up. Or I could just do a basic cleaning/light polish and call it a day. What would a collector prefer?

You're welcome. Probably due to the age, I would leave it. How were you intending to brighten it up? I wouldn't use any polish. Just leather conditioner.

Just got a bright white leather restorer from ‘leather hero’ (the plan is to custom color match by adding dye for a couple other bags). It would entail a light coat and also a top coat of finish, but you’re right about letting her show her age and I’d prefer not to goop it up with layers on a large area. Especially because I feel like it should be in a collection instead of a ‘daily driver’.

Great condition bag...I have one in red.
Is your leather really firm?

OOOoohhh, I bet it’s SO pretty! It was really hard to find photos of another one out there, so here I am - getting sucked down the rabbit hole of dang gorgeous bags owned and curated by super rad people. Hah. Now that I think about it, yeah, the leather is pretty firm and the handle is really stiff, compared to some of my 90’s girls.

Yeah..my precreed even after dunking and lots of conditioning is still very firm and stiff...but am secretly pleased as it stands nicely and I find it easy to get in and out of as it doesnt flop too much. I haven't got any photos left on my tablet so have to use my Instagram link
