Wow, @stephsposhlife - the Lady looks pristine! Flawless execution on the restoration.

I just purchased a pre loved that needed A LOT of work. It’s a bit of a hobby for me and I’m super happy how it turned out, especially getting the shape back! Hope you enjoy- before and after below:

You did an amazing job! She came out beautifully!

Hi Everyone!! New Purseblog member here Just wanted to share my recent purchase of the SS2021 gradient Dior saddle bag. It was such a beauty that I couldn't resist to add another saddle bag in my collection! I also have a men's saddle as pictured on the right. Hope everyone is doing well during these covid-19 times.

I purchased the micro dior vanity in black and got the large size blue book tote before the price increase.

Could you share mod pictures and what can fit inside the micro vanity please?

I bought my first Dior bag a week ago and I went for the 30 Montaigne ultra matte in dusty pink. I followed my heart that told me that it’s the right bag for me in this moment, although a Lady Dior would be a more sensible choice as first bag of this brand. I definitely love my purchase, it makes my heart sing and I want my Dior collection keep growing in the future and my goal is to add a Lady Dior next.

Lovely Lady Dior you have there. May I ask what year she was made?

I have a 1995 Lady Dior and to stop the sagging have inserted an inner frame - have you had to do any changes to the inside of the bag to reinforce it or will she now sit up on her own?
Also what touch up did you use for the white corners?

Some pretty Lady Dior Stud sunglasses, now I'm hooked and want a pair in another color too

Just got the Dior Bobby in Black Grained Calfskin today! So in love with this style, and super happy they released it in a more durable leather.

It is from 2005

I didn’t add an interior frame, but to be honest I initially thought I was going to have too. The steps I took were :
1.)stuffed with paper/ tissue to desired shape
2.) cleaned with warm soapy water (blue dawn specifically - as it was incredibly dirty) this then made the leather damp/ slightly wet. I then let it sit for 24-48h to dry completely on its own.
3.) once completely dry I used my hair dryer on it to warm the leather
4.) set it outside on my deck in the cold ( I read that this would “shock” it back into shape)
5.) left it stuffed for about a week or so just to be sure, and then when I finally took the stuffing out I was pleasantly surprised to see the shape had returned! I do keep it stuffed in the dust bag when not in use as well.

For the corners, after cleaning/conditioning I used angelus leather paint. I had to do a custom mixture as the white was too white. When applying you need to do light coats and sometimes multiple.

hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply - you have done a great job. May you enjoy your lady for many years to come.

I have a white lambskin cannage wallet so I might give your method a go for cleaning some of the dirt and refreshing it.
