Dooneybaby, were you nervous about ironing out the sagging? I just purchased a pre-owned GST with slight sagging, but I'm afraid I would ruin the bag. Can you give step-by-step instructions how you did it. It would be greatly appreciated!

See post #9856, those are the instructions I followed.
I used an all-cotton pillow case to place over the part of the bag I was ironing. I placed the setting on "SILK" with steam. Then as I moved the iron over the corner of the bag where the sagging was, I used my other hand to press down on the bag, about 1 inch above the sagging, while pressing in the side of the bag. You want to create a flat plane so there won't be a crease or sagging fold.
Essentially, the hand that's on the bag is going to be covered by the white pillow case.

I used an ironing board to provide the backing support. I slipped the end of the ironing board which has a kind of round pointed tip into my GST... u know, like when you are ironing clothes.

Although I was nervous about doing this, it worked! I was trying not to think how much I paid for the bag as I was doing it, but I am very pleased with the results. Thanks for your help!

OK, here is an updated Family Photo:
Left to Right: Beige Clair SHW, Dark Beige GHW, Dove Grey SHW, 2010 Dark Blue RHW, Dark Brown GHW, Black SHW and Black GHW....
Top left 10C Red SHW, on top Right 2009 Dark Red SHW

This collection is a work in progress......I just got a 2008 Dark Grey SHW bag ( no photos yet) which I think I will replace the Dove Grey with.....the lighter Dove Grey is beautiful, but it is a bit too light for me as I really was looking for a Dark Grey but could not find one until this week.
I still cannot decide which Red to keep.....I LOVE the 10C Red, but I think the Darker Red is more versatile as far as my wardrobe goes.....but still I cannot part with the 10C Red! Silly me......
I guess it is pretty obvious that I love this style, huh?

Luv all the colors!

Does anyone else's chains rattle when they are in the car with their bag? I am constantly rearranging them to keep from being driven crazy by the sound. Is it because I drive a hooptie with no shock absorbers? Lol
