Today I cheated with a "Coach cousin" and took out my recently acquired 1970s Bonnie Cashin for Meyers for the very first time. She was SOOOO dry when I first got her. Thank you to everyone on here who recommended Blackrock Fix N Rich. I just got some & it brought this old bag back from the brink!
This is so neat! I would have thought it was a Coach in passing.

I know! They are super close. The strap style is identical to the straps on my Patricia and Janice. Hardware is solid brass too. The main design difference that I can see are the rectangular metal hoops (not sure what you call them-- a buckle?) that the strap feeds through: these are flat at the back and the ones she did for Coach have that little dip. Also, while the craftsmanship is excellent the leather is thinner and not as good quality as her Coaches. It has the cutest little metal label inside that says "Bonnie Cashin for Meyers" (see pix). The one thing it doesn't have that I wish it did is a flap pocket in the back. I would probably carry it more often if it did. It just has the main compartment with a zip pocket inside.

CORRECTION: the product I used on this bag is called "Blackrock LEATHER N Rich". Argh... where on earth did I get Fix from??? Sigh. Senior moments already!
