I found this Burberry barrel bag on Poshmark for $65 CAD. It was filthy but I cleaned it up nicely! The first picture is the before and the second is after...

I have a few thrifty finds I need to upload.

I decided to let it fully dry overnight before continuing. I noticed that there is a bit of yellowing along the top. Does anyone have some good tips? Thanks.

I've never found anything that works on coated canvas. It is like the stains get under the plastic coating and the only way to clean them would be to remove the coating.

I tried the bleaching trick. While it did lighten the yellowing it didn’t fully come off. Luckily it is faint.

I've been going through a patent leather shoe craving. I've been hoping to thrift a pair of patent leather Tory Burch ballet flats but we'll see! Great find.

I should upload more pictures of the progress I've made. The picture I have attached is after everything I tried. I did try bleach and acetone but I have made the decision to stop as I'm pretty satisfied with the results. The yellowing, as I mentioned, is faint enough that the bag can still be happily worn. I'm pleased with the work that I've done! For $65 it can't be beat.

I have started taking pictures of items while I'm out thrifting. They're much more naturalistic than what I usually post but hey, this is our home away from home. It'll give everybody a semblance of normality.

PURCHASED: Pink Coach for $14.99 + Black Leather MK for $5.99
SPOTTED: A random assortment of worn Coach handbags for $16.99.
