DIY How to fix dents creases & structure loss in handbag feat. Chanel Medium Kelly Caviar leather

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi friends, please like and subscribe if you've found this video helpful! :)
Chanel Pure Medium Kelly (5-series 1997-1999)
Caviar Leather, Gold Hardware
Size: 10"W x 7.5"H x 3.5"D with a 2.5" handle drop
Bought from www.rebag.com/ .
MSRP $2700. $2,657.55 total (includes 10% off coupon, tax, & shipping).
This bag has slight structure loss as well as a deep dent/crease in the front flap. I was able to get it out using the products listed below. I am not sponsored by any of the products used because no one knows that I exist.
1. Conair steamer $47
amzn.to/33e3IfZ
2. Genesis heat gun $16
amzn.to/35kH5sX
3. Coach leather cleaner. Currently on sale $5, usually $12
www.coach.com/coach-leather-c...
4. Obenauf Heavy Duty leather preservative $13
*Only use Obenauf on dark coloured bag. It will darken the leather. Great for black bags, it will restore/ enrich the color. *
amzn.to/3bUhngt
Steaming the bag will freak most people out due to the resulting discoloration from moisture loss. Nutrients and moisture are later added back in using obenauf. HOWEVER, if you are faint of heart and are afraid, just skip this step.

    Have you guys ever bought something slightly flawed because of the great discount? Now that you know even deep dents can be fix, does it change your mind about getting slightly flawed bags? Let me know in the comments below. :)

    Hello Trang, this video is a heaven-sent. I am currently on the fence to buy a beige GST with deep creases at the front bottom and back part. Do you think I'd be able to restructure it with a heat gun? Can I show you the bag photos if you don't mind? I just thought your experiences would be really helpful for me to decide if i'm gonna take the plunge and get that bag. Thanks a bunch!

    @@kristineruthgavan2483 If it is caviar leather, I think it will help. I don't know if it will completely take it out though. Go gentle with the streamer, and low on the heat gun. See if it helps then add more heat slowly. If u use too much steam, you will dry the leather out. Too much heat and you will burn the leather. Good luck! 👍

I still love but this pandemic I cant shop at at the lux stores so sites like real real are the next best thing. After seeing your scammed with fake I think my fist not from the lux store purchase will be at a thrift store This is the third video i have seen of yours i like your down to earth vibe.

    Hey Trang, thank you so much for the walkthrough! It really helped me understand what's going on underneath restructuring a leather pieces. I have a calfskin light-colored bag that got some dents thanks to the custom inspection smushing the bag while repackaging it, thankfully no permanent damage on the bag. It has relaxed a bit thanks to the steamer hack but there's some dent on the base of the bag. the bag is supposed to be structured (loewe puzzle bag) do you think the heatgun would be too overpowering for the calfskin leather? TIA!

    Hi Trang, I love what you did with your beautiful Chanel bag. Bravo to you. I need your advice on how to address a conditioner residue on box leather. My mother passed down one of her favorite bags. I took it traveling with me. At the airport some brushed by with a huge duffel and created a wide between 3-4 inches across the front of the bag, I purchased some conditioning oil and some paste from Safir to add some color and minimize the big and wide scratch. This did not help and now I have a sticky leather that has no shine, it used to have a shiny patina, and I am beside myself. My mother gifted it to me in perfect condition and now it’s dull looking and you can feel a film on the from when you rub it. Any suggestions on what I can do to rescue my bag or get rid of the residue. Thank you.

    Did you heat it up with hair dryer after steaming it? It's the heat of the dryer that will help leather go back to original shape. If the crease is deep, the hair dryer will not produce enough heat so you will need a heat gun. Hope this helps hon. 🙏
