That was me in my newbie innocence. :-s Will probably be asking a lot of questions on the rehab thread.

Welcome! The bag is in rough shape but from the pictures it looks to be intact and I don't see any ink marks or other bad damage so it should rehab okay but it will need a lot of attention.

First thing, did you have it authenticated here on TPF. The bag looks okay to me but I am not an authenticator. It would be a shame to put a lot of effort into rehabbing a fake so I always think that it is smart to have it checked out by an expert.

You are very welcome to ask questions on the rehab thread and everyone will be happy to try and assist you!

Maybe this will inspire you. It is an old post about a very challenging tan bag that I once rehabbed. It was an early rehab and it took some work and a lot of trial and error but I was finally happy with the results!

This bag cost $5 bucks and a lot of work! Rehab reveal!

I picked up a bag for $5 at the Savers Thrift Store that Hyacinth authenticated as a Saddle Pouch 9590 standard size (9 x 7 x 1 ½) made in New York City some time between the late 1970s to about 1987. The bag was structurally intact but I think it had been stored in a damp basement for a long...

Cleaning experiment gone wrong! lol, sounds like a few of my rehabs. It would probably be a great bag for dyeing.
