BEFORE & AFTER HANDBAG REHAB Vintage COACH Messenger 9100 Purse Restoration

[@PamD-yn4yp]

Honestly being in a society where every 5 seconds we are buying a new item, it’s good to see that someone has used and loved one bag so much. Although I loved its antique look the way it was. Great work though. Thank you for sharing❤❤❤

[@jeanenepetrone5804]

These videos are self explanatory. Thanks for not talking! Excellent clear closeups.

[@reddtattedkutie7245]

Actually they might be self explanatory but they are giving the wrong advice lol

[@savethealcoholic]

I will start buying pre-loved bags from here on. I just realized how I like the time I spend conditioning and treating used leather, it's so calming.

[@guillermocesarsaladino2470]

I love your work, I work in a second hand shop in geneva switzerland, and usually I took some things to restore instead of dump them. I do it just because I like it, and then we sell it, I just do it to give things a second life. I took many ideas from this channel , Thanks Lyssa...

[@amymeyeraan8113]

Beautiful job! I wish I would have kept a bag that was looking even worse than that one. I had no idea where to even begin. I considered dyeing it but I have never dyed leather before. Now I know exactly what to do. Thank you so much.

[@JanetJenkins]

Supplies used: 100% horsehair brush, Avel Savon Cuir Lisse Leather Soap, Saphir Creme in 05 Dark Brown, and Brasso.

[@sadietravels6213]

Another amazing restoration of a Coach bag. It can live it’s best life now. I rehabbed an Italian made Coach drawstring (4180) last summer. To be honest, I purchased it by accident as I forgot that was the bag with scary stains in the lining. I think the bag probably spent a great deal of time in bars with its prior owner. It was the only vintage bag I purchased, that I was afraid to open. Anyway, I can highly recommend Shout Advanced Grease Busting Foam. It comes in a can and it really is a miracle worker on the fabric lined bags with stains.

Love these rehab videos! And love Coach & Fossil bags. Keep them coming please 👍🏻💛🇳🇿

[@glorianelson9538]

I was surprised when you didn't fully submerge it before restoring. It looked like the poor bag had been put through the grinder. I still think that nothing compares to vintage Coach handcrafting, they don't make them like this anymore. The snap closes beautifully. Good job Lisa. Enjoy!

[@MsDMarc]

I wonder if it was because this one had a liner (?)

[@michelle_pw]

I’m glad I discovered your videos as I have a few Coach bags from this era that can use some love (although none are as far gone as your restorations). I can see the possibilities.

[@kathyred3310]

I love my vintage coach bags. I have a large leather tote with wooden dowels and a strap with snap closure. It commuted with me everyday for 15 years to NYC. Spent another 5 years driving my car to work and I always had my Coach tote. It’s seen better days and I’m hoping to find some videos on repairing or camouflaging the wear and tear on the bottom 4 corners and,on then ends of the leather covered dowels. I don’t really like the newer stuff and stopped looking. The newer stuff is easier and cheaper to manufacture. The cost of quality leather shouldn’t be a sacrifice, but knowing that if you take care of a vintage leather Coach bag, it will live forever!

[@CF-rl8mz]

This turned out beautiful!

The fingernail is an undervalued tool! Very nice restoring that sad looking bag. Looks like it could be a Murse as well :)

[@christinebusby8940]

[@jensicampos180]

Hi :) amazing work!! I have watched a few videos where you soak the bag and some you use saddle soap. How do you know which process is best?

[@nataliebutler]

Bags with a lining can't be soaked.

[@AnnaJHaha]

admit it or not, the old marks are also with some special beauty in it.

[@TriebAlvilag]

I have one LYXBAG bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

[@blueroad3009]

I recently love coach bags specially vintage I finished watching your video I hope you share and comment the products you used . ✨ keep it up!

[@jaks_bag_attack]

I super enjoy this, I have a vintage bag where I need to touch up the leather where it had cracked been real nervous about it. You make it look so simple.

[@mlewis8579]

This is really beautiful ! I wish I had seen your videos about Agee months ago!

[@audenhealey2643]

I'm pretty sure you can burn the threads with a lighter rather than cut them. I would do it before applying the dye/polish to be safe. Great job! Very beautiful bag!

[@libertywest5835]

so glad to see new videos 💕

[@cynthia1088]

Wow...that turned out great.. amazing job

[@cherylmillard2067]

You could have gotten the white spots off the back using a proper cleaner or remover that would work on whatever it was. It appeared that no attempt was made. Even going down to bare leather would have helped. Using a sanding block will refurbish and remove stains from suede interiors, also adding a liquid dye to water will help restore color allowing you to use less Saphir product.

[@LyssaMakesNew]

Thanks for your comment!

[@cherylmillard2067]

@@LyssaMakesNew Thank you for replying, I too love project bags. Denatured or Ethyl Alcohol will usually remove acrylic based paints, Kids "N" Pets enzyme cleaner will help with a laundry list of "stuff" at least lessening the staining and helping with neutralizing odors. I love the Saphir products! I watch lots of art conservation videos, it's helped me understand how to formulate solutions to remedy stains and other adhered "stuff" by understanding first what it's initial makeup is.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

So Saphir is a dye ??? Could you use any leather dye and then add polish to get the sheen ?? 😊 😊

[@curiouskay8351]

What type of brush were you using to apply the black saphir?

So satisfying! Beautiful restoration.😍

[@brittanyb1rd]

Out of curiosity, could a teensy bit of acetone be used for the white spots without damaging the leather if you do it before the initial scrub?

[@stainabili-original]

😮 Sie sah vorher so toll aus.

[@annl5200]

Did you try a brown sharpie on the white spots? I've had good luck with that technique.

[@mariefink3024]

Beautiful job.

[@warneruniverse]

love it! Question. does the coloration stay on? or could never wear this with a white dress?

[@michalhanson9793]

What kind of brush was the second brush that was used? After the crème was applied, I noticed it was different than the 100% horsehair brush used when cleaning. Thanks!

[@IUsedToBeAPygmy]

With leather in the state it was in at the beginning, why not use Saphir teinture (paint) first to get the color back..? Saphir 1925 Pommadier is a maintenance product, not a refinishing product. The result looks good on video but I wonder how well it holds up over time - there's a big difference between dying leather and applying (colored) polish! Still - it looks good, keep up the good work! I'd love to see an update after a year of use to see how it holds up!

[@Soapartisan875]

I love this restoration . I noticed that many people who rehab handbags use the Saphir brand dye creams does anyone know why no one uses Angelus brand . It’s what I use and now I’m afraid I’m damaging my vintage leather handbags 😮.

You gave that Coach some serious TLC! Beautiful job!😍 Maybe you can try a brown sharpee or brown shoe polish for the white spots.

[@marinahuizar6067]

I'm a fan of sharpies, i have every color imaginable, i def used them (&/or shoe creams) for restoring all my bags, esp for stubborn corner wear. just gotta massage it in very quickly before it dries and blends right in.

[@mariefink3024]

Do you have trouble with color transfer to clothing from the purse, since you have applied a shoe polish?

[@nataliebutler]

I don't think it's normal shoe polish.

Sometimes you soak a bag and sometimes you use saddle soap. Could you explain how you make that decision?

[@mslizzardroscoe9051]

New Subbie here! So in your opinion, what do you think the white spots were? Also…does this polish rub off on your clothes or if you happen to get caught in the rain? And lastly…does this change the texture of the purse or it’s resell value? I’m totally new to collecting! 😅

I just saw a video where the restorer included two cups of white vinegar in the Dawn soaking/cleaning process to kill the mold spores.

[@ZBrink11]

Hi! two questions: 1) Will the Saphir Creme 1925 "dye" the bag or will it eventually bleed off and have to be redone? 2) Will the Saphir Creme 1925 soak into repair material like Tear Mender?

It soaks into the leather as it is a conditioner. You may need to re apply to maintain the color.

[@CatA-mp2hk]

Love the end result. What is your thoughts on the use of colored polish on Vintage Coach, do you recommend a certain type? Some rehabbers discourage it. I love this outcome though, and don't see a way of resurrecting some bags with out it.

[@nataliebutler]

Is that shoe creme different to normal shown polish? Putting shoe polish on a leather bag is a big no.

[@tinamcnalley2575]

Yes, she is using shoe creme. I have been doing something similar for 30 years. My own personal bags would look so tired and worn, about half of this bags wear. I carry black leather daily. After wiping off, I use an office supply permanent black marker to color the entire bag working in extra ink on the really worn spots. Let that dry 15 minutes and then work black shoe cream all over the bag in a circular motion using a cloth. A paint brush seems a bit fussy to me, plus with a cloth you are forcing more of the emollients into the leather. Let the shoe creme dry 15 to 20 minutes then using clean old t-shirts I buff off thoroughly while building a shine. Lastly, once I believe I have removed all of the excess shoe creme, I use clean white t-shirt fabric to do the final 5 to 10 minute buff. This way I am certain all excess shoe creme has been removed. Leather with age on it desperately needs the emollients of shoe cream to help stave off further cracking and replenish a healthy, supple hand. I have never had any issues with shoe creme staining any piece of clothing. I have decades of fabric expertise along with textile studies at uni. The leather absorbs the moisture it needs and any excess is removed with repeated buffing. I usually pick a 2 hour movie to keep me occupied as this process is long, tedious and boring otherwise. I've read of other people making the same claim about shoe creme on bags and it is simply bad information from someone who did not do the job properly.

[@nataliebutler]

@@tinamcnalley2575 Why don't you use leather balm to condition the bag and leather dye to recolour it instead? Leather can't breathe with shoe polish on it so surely that will cause it to crack and degrade more over time.

[@tinamcnalley2575]

@@nataliebutler Shoe polish and shoe creme are two different substances. Shoe polish is color that contains a substantial amount of wax, shoe creme is color and moisturizers. I always use shoe creme as it works nicer with the types of leather womens' shoes and bags are typically made of. Leather can still "breathe" with either polish or creme. As the overwhelming majority of women never treat their shoes or bags, even treatment with shoe polish would be better than no treatment at all. As for shoe dye, the markers do an excellent, lasting job and I always have one. Dye would just be another expense and another bottle of "stuff" cluttering my closet.

[@claredriscoll5092]

Petroleum-based shoe polishes or creams will deteriorate the leather, but the Saphir products she uses do not contain petroleum-based ingredients.
