I love restoration videos! They promote sustainability in this throwaway society.

I found a vintage coach a few weeks ago. These things wear like iron. I like the vintage better because there are no markings on that that say coach. Don’t like labels!

Thank you for not assaulting my senses with unnecessary music! I understand why many are uncomfortable with silence but the overload of noise causes me to suffer brutal migraines. You're now saved to my DIY file🤗 Lovely restoration!

I just love watching these kind of videos in our throwaway world. It's refreshing 💜

The best thing about this video was the lack of additional audio--beautiful bird songs and quiet. So rare and appreciated in a sensory overloading world 👍🏻

I work at an estate sale company and come across these vintage coach purses a LOT. They often don't sell, so I bring them home. Thank you for showing how to care for them! They are so lovely. I actually have the exact purse you are cleaning in this video. Great job! Wow! Edit* I've subscribed! 🙂

The fact that this restored so quickly shows how well the older Coach bags were made…the TLC you put into it brought it back to life!!!

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

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 😊

Fantastic job, please ignore the negative comments, people can't seem to work out their unhappy lives so they chose to throw it on others. You rehabilitation is amazing.

Got three old coach purses on a shelf in my closet that I couldn't bear to part with but haven't used for a long time. They were gifts from someone very special. In his memory, guess what project I'm going to start this weekend. Thanks for your video.

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.

These are the coach bags I absolutely love. I really dislike the completely different later bags with all those patterns and colors.

What a beautiful job, it’s incredible! I was really horrified when you submerged it in WATER, but what do I know about it!

From a time when Coach still made really good bags...

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

I wish restoration videos weren’t all trying asmr garbage. It’s creepy

I've several vintage bags. I'm not keen on making them look like new. Much prefer the well used look. I just use a bit of saddle soap and clean them up.

So sorry to catch this video and ask so late but how did you chose what color to match? By sight or original stock bag color? Already love you and subscribed!!! Great video!! Can't wait for more!

I have an old purse like that!! I’m going to try this! Thank you for sharing.

I really like this video but I’m concerned that the color cream is going to fade onto clothing… particularly if the wearer has on a white shirt. Shouldn’t dye be used instead?

🤩😍 Oh wouah!! Félicitations et merci beaucoup pour votre partage ❣️ C'est génial!!

Wow. I have one of those somewhere in storage! Need to find it and restore it.

I can totally appreciate this beautiful vintage hand bag✨

Great job! I see these frumpy old Coach bags from yesteryear all the time. I'm going to have a project next time! I love to clean leather for some reason. Polish shoes, weather proof boots and bags, etc. I fund it very relaxing and productive. Thanks for the video.

Wow, I’m impressed. What a beautiful result ❤️

Great restoration of the leather, but the coloring cream used did not match the original color and it showed in the finished result. Still looks like a well worn bag. Luckily, the interior was still in great shape when you bought it.

А мне кажется нужно было на пару тонов темнее крем брать, этот ярче и отличается.

It has some life left. Nice job.

Such an amazing job. Many vintage Coach handbags can be rehabilitated, although this one, would have poised too great a challenge and I would have passed on it. You are very talented and letting another tired or DOA Coach bag live it’s best life. Rock on!

I cringe when I see people immerse a beautiful Coach bag in water!

Great job. I like how despite the addition of the leather cream the bag still retains its vintage character. Is there a risk to the creme rubbing off on clothing?

Worst restoration I have ever seen!!! You should have edge painted the strap and used saddle soap and suede cleaner instead of Dawn and water. Watch some other channels to see how it’s done!!!

😍

I bought a $30 leather bag from Penney's about 30 years ago. I kept it cleaned, conditioned, and people I met complimented me on my "Coach" bag! I simply said "thank you". Knowing how to care for what you buy, like our Elders did, is thrifty and wise. I ended up giving it away a little while ago to someone who worked on, and sews leather. We agreed on it's a lot to do with what its made of, and how it's done. Burkin, Coach, etc. are expensive and "niche" clientele, but I could never buy something that just sits around...just to say I own one! Beautiful job!!! Hope it gets loved and used often.

I new to all this. Can someone tell me what the second polish was, i think it was called saphire? And the third polish? Thanks! ❤

Coach used to offer restoration, but no longer do. I have my first Coach bag and asked them to restore it, but they no longer used the color. Now I know how to do it myself, for much less $! Thank you for this informative and relaxing video.

Leather cream used with a brushed? Not ideal, it's not painting. Just use a cloth or your hand, it's a cream. Also, saddle soap would have been more appropriate than a detergent bath.

Beautiful restoration, such an honor, and so deserving of the animal whose hide was used for this bag. Thank you.

Wow thank you

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!

Puede decirme Que clase de pintura es? Porfavor

I bought three of these bags, different colors, in the 1970’s. They are still intact, but grungy looking. They are made well! I’m going to try this.❤

This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!

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. Lyssa- the one thing I'd like to see if possible would be for you to explain the restoration process and provide links to the products you use. Otherwise, great job. TFS

i hate the screaming of seagulls - too bad that's why I had to switch off

Why is the initial tinted cream so light in color? It looks orange instead of brown. Isn’t it better to use a color that better matches the color of the bag?

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the D U P B A G Y as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

I recently pulled out an old Agner bag from the late 80's that's been hanging in a coat closet. It's in excellent condition. Almost like new. And it's the same style as that coach bag. My one weakness. Designer bags. Mink oil does wonders on old or new leather.

I can't say their reproductions are the best in the world, but I can vouch for the best quality at the right price D U P B A G Y

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, very nice job, reminds me of some of the items I have repaired in the past. I am due 2 clean and soften an old Saddle, done a little different but the results will B the same. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

I love the dupes of D U P B A G Y, they have all the bags I need.

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

It doesn't matter where they are made. It depends on the craftsmen and quality inspection. My family and I have purchased D U P B A G Y bags over the past three years and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Great work but I would have used a bit darker shade of the color because it did not match enough to cover the lighter worn areas.

eIf you want fashion and beauty, come here D U P B A G Y

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!

Do you soak the bag in cold water with the detergent?

Good job! My Dad (RIPP) was a master at restoring leather, tailoring, and knowing how to take ANY kind of spot out of any fabric.

Awesome

I have that exact Coach bag, same color and size and shape. Got it at a thrift store for $4...thirty years ago. Mine isn't quite that bad, but now I'm motivated to clean it up and use it again. Thanks.

Wow, amazing

Just stumbled upon your channel and this video. Wow, super job you did, on a beautiful purse that needed some TLC! I was petrified, to tell you the truth, when you soaked the bag in the Dawn and water solution! I never even did this for my English horse bridles, and they could get so gungy......so you are super brave! I use a German saddle soap and then a leather conditioner for my vintage Coach purse, and it works, just like it does on my saddles, bridles and girths. But you truly did a great job on that purse and it will last many more decades.

Not being judgemental can see a fingerprint in back more around front latch needed

Hello there, I just found your channel. I have this exact bag. After seeing your video now I want to use it again! I need to moisturize mine because it has been stored inside of its dust bag. You did an amazing job bringing it back to life. I like how it looks kinda antiqued.

Great restoration job not that hard everyone should restore their leather goods

Wow. Im quite shocked how good that cleaned up. I've always said you get what you pay for. Coach Is a good brand and good leather. You have to take care of a purse like that. Keep it waxed so the leather stays supple. Great job.

A lot of tlc

Back in the 70’s and 80’s, the Coach Company would repair or refurbish any Coach bag.

Than you for this video please what is the first product with water

You are an artist! Will you resell this item? If so how much did the work you do increase the value? Great job and very relaxing to watch. I can tell you enjoy it.

Hi! So do you restore to resell or for your own personal collection? I have purchased used purse after used purse on Poshmark and these girls somehow have fake pictures that look like the purse is gently used but by the time I receive it it looks like it was already several years after the photos were taken 😂😡 I want to restore for myself but after having so many collections of purses that I can’t really use, I will probably have to learn how to restore them and resell 🤦🏼‍♀️

This reminded me of when I was a kid. We all wore leather shoes and my job on Saturday evening was to polish our shoes for Sunday church. Put on the cream polish, rub it around and then buff it with a soft brush. Nice and shiny for Sunday wearing.

They not making bags like this anymore the new hardware it's so fragile and lost the gold bath so fast it's sad 😢

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 is wonderful

First, LOVE the transformation!!! I never even thought about restoring leather! I also agree with Wendy's comment about "no additional sounds" other than nature--awesome!! The bag really turned out great & it wasn't difficult to do!! Thanks for the new knowledge!! I'm a new fan!! 🌼🌼🌻🌻🌸🌸🌷🌷🌹🌹

This video is informative, but the gratuitous ASMR aspects makes me want to flip tables. I dont need to see you putting gloves on for 5 mins. The inbetween bits are uunnecessarily drawn out. If it's the ASMR that you're trying to garner to get more likes fine. But that might be added to the title. Bag restoration with ASMR.

Glad I ran into this video. I have the exact bag in excellent condition that I was going to throw away because I have not used it in ages... did not even think of it as vintage. lol! looks like I will be putting it up for sale.

Thank you so much for not adding a music track.

I had no idea this was possible. I'm going to go rummage through the boxes of things I had designated to donate and see if I can find a project. I was shocked when you submerged in water--so happy you shared this, I'm sure many others had did the same double-take. Thank you for sharing -- can't wait to try! (And thank you for the blissful silence except for singing birds!)

Needed paint 🥴👜👎bad job

Coach vintage bags are everything. Owned one since the 90s & is still in great condition. They don't make leather like this anymore.

How to clean black stains on the hook of a leather bag

Dishwashing detergent is the worst thing to use on leather. It strips out oil, which is why your bag is already starting to look dried out at the end of the video. Use saddle soap instead. You can find it at any store, and it's not very expensive. You did use very good products in the second half of the video, but as another commenter mentioned you used them in the wrong order. Your bag looks much better than it did when you got it, but it would have looked much better had you used the correct products correctly, and it would continue looking good for years to come.

Look how dirty

Yes the older Coach bags are better than the newer ones now. I don't even like them, the new ones I mean, haven't seen any I like.

Brilliant!!

Wonderful job! This was my first Coach Bag as a young executive. Going to clean her up. Just like new! 😊

I just bought a Legacy Coach purse at a consignment shop in much better condition than yours but I also just did a rejuvenation to it. It is a navy blue in color. I don't soak my bags but I use a saddlesoap and the smaller round horsehair brush to work the saddlesoap into a lather all over the bag. I take it one section at a time and then gently wipe each section off with a moist micro-fiber towel. I also use Bartender's Friend powder to shine up the brass with a soft toothbrush. Again wiping off after a couple of minutes. It really brings out the shine of the brass. Then, as you did, I stuff the bag and allow it to dry for a day or two, then apply a light "spritz" of leather conditioner (I use Tuff Stuff, which is what people use on their car leather seats) and buff with into a nice final shine with a horsehair brush, same as you use. It does work wonders on these bags, and they are made so well that they just take to this rejuvenation treatment very well. I wish more people would get training on how to take care of these beautiful bags.

Sorry, but this is not the best restoration. Polished well, bat the paint is not restored.

Did you have any "stain transfer" (dont know the proper term) after wearing it? Thank you for creating this video. I'm a late subscriber...like today.

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!

Hi, I love your videos! Maybe you can give me your advice! I have a beautiful Italian vintage leather bag. i have washed it and now I see that the brass buckle left a dark stain. Do you have any ideas how to get rid of it?..Thank you in advance

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

Thanks for showing us ur tricks Bro so we can do it ourselves, wondering y u dawned all the dye out tho? Looks great anyway tho-impressed! Now I know I can do my own, not pay anyone! Those bird's/ screaming monkeys/whtever they were dude really were annoying!! Can't finish video! Xoxoxox

Amazing video thank you! ❤️ can I ask you, what is the difference between the two white crèmes? Thank you ❤️

I had that purse I found it @ goodwill & it looked a bit in worse shape. Iv had 7 or 8 leather Coach purses 3 of them I found @ yard sales 1 I bought used from a friend 2 wer bought by my boyfriend those wer new. The problem with a Coach is the older 1s r not designed with enough pockets. I have a small brown & a beautiful black leather purse that had no pockets at all. That's the only thing I don't like about a Coach but I do love the feel & smell of a good leather purse new or old. 🦋
