My "New to Me" Day has arrived!!

So I decided to finally take the plunge and bid on this preowned toile day with rouille? leather trim. Though the seller listed it as used for only a couple a times, it was used way more than that. The handles were starting to discolor, and one of the tassles had already split it two (which seller failed to mention). I've cleaned the leather handle as much as I could and I conditioned the rest. I've also replaced the tassles. Later on, I think I may use Shining Monkey on the fabric part. The back has started to fuzz a little, is there any suggestions on how to remove the fuzz? I'm thinking about using the fuzz shaver, but I have to get it from my mom's house first.

Anywho, enough chatter, here she is. The leather looks beautiful in pics, much more vibrant!
