That’s why I like my vintage Coach no matter how old it looks you can restore it and it comes out beautiful. Lovely.

This is a Coach bag that is worth having. The newer bags can't hold a candle to this one.

In the early 80's I worked in a department store. Small leathers and handbags. Coach handbags became my favorite. I have several I found at thrift stores. I now know how to bring them back to life. Thank you!

OMFG. THANK YOU FOR NOT TALKING THE ENTIRE TIME.

I’ve never seen your channel. I’m not even sure why it showed up on my feed. What I can say is I have that exact purse used twice in my dresser drawer. It was my moms first Coach and was to heavy for her. She passed it down to me and I have never used it. This video has changed that. Thank You. I’m no longer afraid to get it dirty without being able to clean or get it repaired.

Great job restoring this classic shoulder bag. The point is to restore the bag, not necessarily make it look brand new. My late father was in the US Cavalry at the start of WWII and would tell me how they would care for the saddles - a bit of wear only makes it look better - he would say. He always took time out to preserve all of our leather goods growing up and I continue this practice today. I have Coach and Lara bags that are 40 years old and still look great - not showroom perfect, but I wouldn't trade them for all the $500 bags in the world. Kudos 😊

I bought that exact bag in black for $50 I had it restored and couldn’t be happier. I had that bag in the 90’s and my mom had it. She passed away and I desperately wanted that bag for nothing other than sentimental value. I’m so happy I tracked one down.

This was the first of 3 coach bags I owned. I think the original sale price was around $110.00 back in about 1972 or 1973. I later purchased 2 more coach bags and absolutely loved them. These were my first purchases of expensive bags. I’ve continued to purchase good quality bags because they really hold up to the wear and tear of everyday use. Beautiful job of restoration.

I use saddle soap to clean leather. I like the brush work, it spares produce. To finish it off I use a more oily leather wax for protection, but that will make it shine for a while. I use a cloth to put on the leather conditioner but I like how you do it so gently and sparsely. I do think it is a waste to not keep a good leather bag - or shoes and coats for that matter - in a good state. Thankfully there is still hope for neglected leather products. Love the result!

I have vintage Coach leathers too. They are going to my daughter / granddaughter after I go. 😁 After scrounging around online for the styles I did not purchase. Some are great vintage shape and plenty not. Some observations, others might contribute and comment, please ! Coach leathers are vulnerable to wear on the metals, edges of wear, obvious. Clean up the spills asap. Clean, preserve leather often, don’t over weight the bag. For heaven’s sake, keep it off the bathroom stall floor(!) and restaurant floors, under table. Each bag you have has a history & memories, cherish them all. Save the Coach for the relatives you love (!) and one more anecdote: I was walking past a outlet Coach store. A make Retail worker opened the door as I walked by and said, “I saw your bag! It’s awesome and vintage. I love it!” I said - I know. And thank you! P.s. thank you for video.

This speaks volumes about the quality of this vintage leather, craftsmanship only comparable to Hermes in my opinion. In spite of the poor shape of the bag, the hardware remains in perfect condition.

@@RnR-Rebel I left the interior as brown, but I see no reason why the same dye couldn’t be used inside the bag. But, I think if I were to dye the inside that I would do that before doing the outside. I used Phebings leather dye.

WOW! Who would have thought that bag would ever look like that again? You did an over-the-top outrageous job on this restoration. I wish you well. Stay encouraged.

I was enjoying the squeak of the leather after it was worked on. Old horse people never stop loving certain sounds and things!

I have this vintage coach bag and I do not use it all seasons because I am afraid of wear and tear. But after seeing the results of your work touching up a well worn vintage coach bag and the amazing results you ended up getting. I will use my bag more often, knowing I can restore it to almost perfect condition. Well done!

Please do not do your leather bags like she did this to get some glycerin saddle soap and you follow the directions on that do not soak your Coach bags in water it is not good for them it just makes them worse all she had to do was get some glycerin and follow the instructions I have horses I have Saddles and bridles my whole life there's no reason to do with the way she did this it just added time and effort and cost glycerin's only three dollars and 75 cents on Amazon

Beautiful job! I was skeptical about how it would turn out but it's far nicer than I expected.

I used to have this exact bag. Wish I still had it, but wherever it is now, I hope it has been well cared for. It was wonderful seeing your work. Thank you.

Super cute! Love the back❤

Wow such an amazing restoration. A beautiful leather.

Omg! I had that exact purse about 40 years ago! This is freaky to see. Thanks formsharing.

I am surprised the leather did not go hard after drying from the water wash. Very encouraging, wonderful leather.

Beautiful recycled project-- 👏🏼💚👏🏼

I have the exact same bag. Thankfully in a much better condition than the one you bought😜. You did an amazing job👍 and made me think about getting mine out of the box and carrying it again!

Carry it! Be a good and fashionable example!

Wow, went from a bag that looked like road rash, to a well loved bag. Great job! 🙂

I have that very handbag. I also about 10 years ago, came across to Coach handbags at Goodwill. Bought both of them, paid $10 for two. So even if they're not an excellent shape, it's leather and you can fix the problems. Besides a little patina, is good.

I restored a black Coach bag like this one. Bought at a thrift store. I did use a sweater shaver on the inside and it worked great. I used black shoe dye and mink oil on the outside of the purse. I had to restore my hardware too. Turned out beautifully! I wish I would have seen your video before hand. I didn't know you could completely submerge leather in water! I used a wet towel and dawn and it took work! Anyhow, thank you for this video. It will be helpful for my next project! Keep restoring!!

I have this bag in a dark olive green! I inherited 3 original Coach bags and have recently thought about dropping them off to be cleaned and conditioned. This really made my day! 🤗

I actually put my leather back through the washing ma nine on gentle , last week and it came out beautifully.
