I thrifted and restored a vintage Coach bag

If you've been following me on TikTok you already know I have an obsession with thrifting vintage Coach bags. Because so many people requested a tutorial, I made this video to better explain my process for cleaning bags.
This is my first youtube video...so if you learned something, give a thumbs up and follow my channel to encourage me to make more videos.

[@JaneThrifts]

I have the same bag and another 90’s coach bag, handed down to me by my mom, and have been wondering out to restore! This is so helpful. Thank you!

[@JaneThrifts]

Love that you are keeping these in the family!

[@uMbReLiA05]

This was awesome!!! I’ve always been intimidated by the thought of restoring a vintage bag but this video gives me confidence!! Thank you for sharing!!😊❤️

[@JaneThrifts]

Glad this gave you confidence, excited for you to try it out! 🥰

[@koco23]

I been watching this every couple months since you posted it, just tryna hype myself up to do it lol TYSM for linking the brushes in the description since you didn't mention it in the video! I have the EXACT same bag, gifted to me by my mom & it is hands-down my most prized possession so I am TERRIFIED of messing up, but this video has helped so much! thank you! 🩵

Absolutely 😌

I also love rinsing my leather thrifted bags in running water and then conditioning! My mom has a nearly identical vintage Coach bag like the one you have.

[@JaneThrifts]

It’s so satisfying to bring it back to life! Makes me think your mom has an OG vintage Coach. Crazy! I love the quality of these bags.

[@carolinejuachon4686]

Where can I get the saddle soap..not sure with the saddle? Thanks a lot

[@JaneThrifts]

@@carolinejuachon4686 I use Fiebing’s. You can find it at your local hardware store or online. I have an Amazon link - www.amazon.com/dp/B00GRSVTK4?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzjanefisc-20&creativeASIN=B00GRSVTK4&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1MT9QN1X70Z50&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin

[@SheilaisOffensive]

Does that not ruin the raw suede in it?

[@mslizzardroscoe9051]

Are you wetting the brush before dipping it in the saddle soap?

[@JaneThrifts]

I used minimal water for this for a quick dry time. I wet the brush itself, it helps, it’s best to use more water to really get it sudsing

[@rajjie100]

I use newspaper to stuff the bags while drying

[@JaneThrifts]

Great tip

[@laihyesha521]

How much you bought it in thrift shop?

[@lanaofficiel4042]

I noticed that she answered all comments except this one. I wonder why?

[@shaistaali9802]

Are you selling this bag by any chance?

[@JaneThrifts]

I no longer have it!

[@vloggingwithconnie1635]

I never soak them In water 💦 maybe it works

[@JaneThrifts]

I've had a lot of success dunking bags but only do it if necessary

[@luvlife7007]

I don't think soaking it in the water is a good idea.

[@JaneThrifts]

It definitely depends on the bag

[@JennySEJ]

These old coach bags are super high quality, you can literally dunk it and leave it in soapy water, rinse and dry it in room temperature and then condition it. I love it. They dont make bags like that anymore, that's why these old coach bags in particular are great!

[@JaneThrifts]

Vintage Coach is the best! It blows my mind every time to do the math on how old some of these bags are and how well they’ve worn and continue to wear.

[@bagobeans]

I would never immerse a leather bag in water. It would destroy all the natural oils in the leather. Who puts plastic bags in a wet leather bag? I have restored Coach leather bags for years...some things you did...I wouldn't recommend. The bag looks dull.

[@JaneThrifts]

What methods have worked for you?

[@beudousgf]

@@JaneThrifts Energy like “I wish you nothing but the best” iconic

[@hp4415]

@@JaneThriftsif you need to stuff your bag and dry at the same time, use paper towels because plastic bag doesn’t have ability to absorb moisture so it will take a lot longer to dry

[@JaneThrifts]

@hp4415 thanks for the tip!

[@madmeco]

Where's your video?

[@andresmalaya6621]

@ *lvguci* You are so well-informed about luxury accessories and bags. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much.

[@JaneThrifts]
