Now I know why I've never used a white bag.

Recently I found a $4.99 leather Kristin at Saver's. (I love it when they don't recognize the real deal!)

Although the white exterior wasn't perfect, it wasn't stained or filthy. I was okay with that because I knew I didn't have to baby it.

Well, now I even have to worry less!

I was out shopping the other day in the rain. After stopping for gas, I pulled out my red leather wallet to get my c.c. and must have placed the wallet on top of the bag.

And this is what I've ended up with.

Oh no! I'm surprised it transferred color that fast! Is the red leather wallet Coach too? Have you tried cleaning up the stain? Maybe ask the rehab thread i and see if anyone has any suggestion to get the stain off. I have read good things about this product from other TPF members for preventing this from happening.

I bought one myself but haven't used it yet though.

I'm not a rehabber so although I read and am so impressed by others' work, I'm too nervous to do it myself.

The wallet isn't Coach. (It's a Miu Miu, another thrift find that was a steal. They didn't recognize the brand!)

I don't think it's been dyed and was really surprised that it happened. It happened as soon as I rested the wallet on the damp bag.

The extent of my trying to clean it was to wipe gently with a sponge and liquid dish soap.

Zit cream (benzoyl peroxide) might bleach it back to the original color. It's worth a try.

That sounds like an easy fix if it works!

Do you just put it on, let it sit, then wipe off?
Thanks.

You put it on and let it sit for quite a while. I usually leave it at least a day or a few days. It dries up so you'll have to use something damp to clean it off, either conditioner or white vinegar would be good. I'm not sure but I think it works better if it sits in the sun. If it isn't all bleached out, you can do another treatment. I've never used it for dye transfer but it works on ink. I would only do it on a white bag.

Thank you. I'll have to buy some but will update with results.

In hindsight, I realize I should have posted on the rehab thread but it's too late for that. (The reason I'd posted here was just to show why I should never have bought a white bag and not necessarily to look for repair advice.)

But now that I got your help, I did a preliminary fix to see if it would work.

I bought Clearasil (they don't make a cheap generic or store brand and this was the cheapest), rubbed it in and let it sit overnight.

The difference is amazing! THANK YOU for your your help. (I will likely try again to see if more of the transfer comes off but even if it doesn't, I'm okay with how it turned out.)

(Notice that the ink line didn't come off though.)

That's great! I've had it work on ink. Maybe you could try again.

My mall is closed so they are having an open air market this weekend. A few of their stores are having their booth setup outside. Coach even have their own booth set up with a few of their bags on display.

It was fun browsing their small selection of beautiful bags and accessories. Anyone in the San Jose, CA area definitely check it out at the Valley Fair Mall. It lasts until today, I think.

 

[BeachBagGal]

Good deal!

 

[BeachBagGal]

Macy’s. Good deal!

Which stores still sell the Cassie in oxblood? I am based in the UK but have a US postal address. Thank you

Hi
I was wondering about the Coach Courier Carryall, this one:



Another tPFer mentioned it over in the Celine subforum, that it looks a lot like the Celine Belt bag. I thought perhaps it is not a mere copy of Celine, but a revived version of one of their older styles? I remember reading that the Cassie bag was actually present in the Coach line-up way before the LV Pochette Metis, which looks quite similar to Cassie, became popular.

I've seen it in both of my local Macy's in Pennsylvania. I believe it is still on their website as well.

I believe the Cassie was inspired by the Court and this bag looks like a combination of a tote and a Courier Pouch to me.

Does anybody recommend using Apple Garde on the sig C plastic/coated canvas? I have a Dreamer with beige coated canvas and I do not want to get color transfer. How do you protect that type of material?

Coach has made the courier bag, with the same kind of tongue and loop closure since the 70s. How long has Celine made the belt bag?

Does anyone have either of these flower charms yet? I'm wondering how big the ring closure is...hoping it might complement my vintage Regina


These make me so cheery during a time when the rest of the world isn't so! So funny because I usually dislike flower print on most things but I love the leather flower fobs

Thank you! I thought that might've been the case.

I don't have that exact pattern, but have similar tea rose bag charms with the same closure. It is the size of the keyrings they use on the keychains. Now this goes on my wishlist. So pretty!
