BEFORE & AFTER HANDBAG REHAB Vintage COACH City Bag 9097 Restoration

From Coach: "This vintage Pocket Purse is a beloved Coach silhouette first introduced in 1986." And WOW did it need some work! Thankfully, it cleaned up very nice. Watch how I restored this beauty using tried-and-true leather restoration techniques.
My favorite restoration so far has been a GUCCI bag made of SUEDE!

My grandmother used this bag, then my mother, and now me. It has held up beautifully through 3 generations in my family. Truly a timeless piece!

Great video! Not long at all. Very informative, detailed, and thoughtful. I have been eyeing the bags you review and now, *jklux* I am going to buy the Demellier midi New York. I have the Dragon Diffusion and love it. Top video! Thank you so much!.

This is a beautiful restoration and a beautiful presentation of that restoration. No talk. No music. Good camera angles. It was peaceful and satisfying to watch. Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE the vintage Coach bags. They’re so elegant and timeless, and they were built to last. I’m so glad you put in the time to restore this timeless classic. I wish that Coach went back to that for their handbags instead of trying to be trendy. The quality of their modern bags are not the same as their vintage bags.

[@christinaeaton1964]

Thank you so much for not talking through the whole thing with unnecessary details and personal opinions about products. Your work shows everything it needs to. So refreshing.

[@AlastairRamsey-jj2fi]

I've bought some terrible fakes in the past, but the three fake bags I recently bought were amazing! I'm glad the ones I bought at *condup* are great and I'm glad I own the ones I made, but I'll be saving up for the genuine ones in the future

[@FontanellaNorville]

The sad part is even when I buy authentic bags someone because I am African American will assume it’s fake.But some people think the bag I bought from *hotdups* is genuine.

When I turned 15, my parents gave me a coach bag and a gold chain for my birthday...I still have both. I felt so fancy.

Great video! Just a few observations regarding a potential rehab bag. This bag was a perfect rehab candidate, being in excellent condition in several important ways. One is that the stitching was completely tight. There were no loose or broken stitches. Another is the piping was not especially worn. It's not unusual for vintage Coach bags to have piping that is worn completely through, especially in vulnerable areas. Some of the bags are constructed to stand up on their own (this one is not) so the bottom piping would tend to be worn. This bag also didn't have any stains that had to be removed. That has always been my biggest problem. I've never been able to do that. This makes me want to try another one. Thanks so much!

You inspired me to look for a City Bag myself and clean/restore it. I found one that was in pretty good condition, I didn't need to do too much but a cleaning and conditioning. However, not knowing what this bag held, I decided to wash it fully like you did here. I used Lexol Leather cleaner instead of Dawn. MAN, was it gross - while the bag looked decent enough, what came out in the wash was a heavy brownish pinkish fluid. It took me 7 - 8 rinses to get it to run clear. It's drying on my deck (out of sunlight) now with towels stuff in there to soak up the moisture. Thank you for making these videos, so nice to learn how to restore a nice leather piece.

[@rosemariegoolsby1048]

OMG! It turned out gorgeous. I have a Coach thick black leather bucket handbag that I bought brand new decades ago. I’m definitely giving her this spa rehab. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@alsalzeri6973]

Stunning, I am so happy you give these old bags new life.

I have this same bag, and it still looks like new. It was my first Coach bag in the 80’s.

[@barbaramelville6320]

Me too no damage to my bag at all

[@MaryWehmeier]

I use Angelous leather dye to refurb mine. It stays in the leather vs a polish. Plus they have charts of exact color matching

[@davidmiller3128]

Dye is the proper way to go. It saddens me every time I see someone paint one of these awesome old bags with shoe polish.

[@ricaflrs]

May I ask for the link to find the chart for the exact color matching? This would be great for some shoes I love but don't want to get rid of

[@chilyn5]

@@davidmiller3128 is Saphir Canadian a reasonable alternative to plain polish if an exact dye match is not possible?

[@shaec3405]

OMG. NO POLISH. it comes off on You, and your clothes. Also ..... No dawn.... She's washing half the dye out. ....

Turned out gorgeous! Love how you take so much time to detail and their transformation. Your passion shows!

This model is my most favorite among all the Coach purses. I have 3 in different colors. Great job of restoration!

Bags in D U P B A G Y are quite exquisite, and the workmanship is also meticulous. There is almost no difference from the original ones, and they are great value!

Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

[@kehaulani1140]

That was my first Coach purchase and I still have it. I think I’m going to order the products you used here and clean mine. I was going to take mine to Goodwill but after seeing your video, I’ll restore and keep it. It’s now vintage.

Saphir products are great to use for leather. I just conditioned my louis vuitton vachetta leather with Saphir balm (jojoba oil) and the leather immediately looked and felt better.

amazing! thankyou for restoring that beautiful bag

[@RobinSueWho]

My first Coach purse was this exact style but in brown. I bought it at a thrift store for $5 21 years ago when I had no idea what Coach was. A few years later began my collection. At one point I owned about 60 Coach bags & matching wallets. 6 years ago I sold most of them and went with Pacsafe bags & wallets. I care more now about protecting what's inside my bag rather than carrying a flashy status symbol. Still though, I kept a few Coach sets as they are my favorites.
