What a beautiful bag. Are you keeping the straps? I can't wait to see the full transformation. TY

[@birdybloom2]

I am keeping them. They look great, the attachment process could have been better but I love this bag as a shoulder carry.

@@birdybloom2 Totally agree, its a beautiful bag.

Thank you for your reply! How should I proceed with getting the blue polish off? I’ve watched all your videos on this. Shud I clean with saddle soap to get the blue polish off? I saw how you cleaned a dirty bag w saddle soap, water, and toothbrush. I wud not think bathing it would really take the blue polish off. THANK YOU, Anita

@@anitalayton5139 yes a technique with removing polish that is more fresh is saddle soap surface cleaning condition, rest and repeat as necessary. Same technique as the video you are speaking of.

What if it is a factory painted cream bag, and the paint rubbed off on the corners? Do you repaint the whole bag? It will be hard to match the paint.

[@birdybloom2]

@@babycakes8434 no bc then the whole bag can’t breath. If you feel as if you need to do something to the corners, then just color match the corners.

What’s the difference between paint and shoe polish? I purchased a vintage coach bag and rubbed it with toilet paper. So much blue came off. I contacted the seller and she said she used tinted blue moisturizer. I’m not sure I buy this. Your thoughts? I love your videos:) anita

@@anitalayton5139 not sure what ‘tinted’ moisturizer is….sounds like polish or cream which is just another polish. Paint won’t just wipe off, needs to be chemically removed.
