Hi friend, Thank you so much for your support 🌹 yes oils and waxes can make a bag sticky too you're right, that's because it's braking down the leather. Glad you are taking care of your beautiful gems ☺️ Have a wonderful day 🌹

If they will make leather stiff, why are they invented in the first place, claiming that it will add a protective layer? Thank you!

There's still too many KZbinrs and bloggers who suggest using coconut oil. Some people fiercely defend it saying that coconut oil has a shelf life of five years and it's like, do you throw your bags away every five years? It's not meant for leather! Most of my vintage Coach bags were obtained by people who wanted to trash them due to corner/piping holes created by shoe polish. My personal favorite method so far for fixing them is to mix leather friendly adhesive (that's flexible when dry) with acrylic paint to match the color of the bag. Sometimes I have to build layers, but the results have been satisfactory. I've spoken with two other collectors who use an acrylic gel medium, which doubles as a flexible adhesive, and they cover the dried gel with acrylic paint, or leave it alone if the hole isn't too big. I've had some people tell me I'm wasting my time, but such repairs are easy and cheap. It may not be ideal to some, but neither is throwing away a beautiful bag that still has plenty of life left! I forgot to add (yeah I know my comments are always way too long!) that Moneysworth & Best make excellent leather creams as well! They have a decent library of colors, and I've been pleased with the results.

[@maryluckett2970]

@Laurel A. You should do a video on repairing piping. I always pass up bags with piping problems. It would be nice to know how to repair them.

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, I know a couple who has sent bags to Coach for repairs and one repair was piping, they replaced piping with leather binding and had much success. I've never had to send a bag in for repair, I've only used Apple Care or Coach Leather conditioner and always stayed away from everything else. Thank you so much for your comment and it's NEVER too long! You gave great tip and it could probably come in handy for someone! Thanks for your comment 🌹 have a wonderful day!

We all take care of our bags differently, but I do agree 100% on not putting shoe polish on bags. As for oils, I don't know why anyone would ever use olive oil or veg oil on any bag. LOL maybe mink or neatsfoot, but there is always a risk of spoilage with any oil. TFS friend :) btw, that Devon went straight right to my heart :) Have a great weekend!

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend 😀 I would steer clear from any type of oils and waxes on vintage Coach. The leather is untreated and can rot from that kind of products.

I do the same. When they came too damaged or with many use signs, I dye them (I use the Brand Fiebings and Buffalo) but as I live in a very hot climate I do use waxes and oils. Waxes help keeping the moisture of the leather) The process for me is this: saddle soap, dye, leather oil/cream care and a waxe with the exact color of the bag/shoes. And I cant be more happy. One time I bougt a Stewardess Bag sooo damaged I fear not being capable to do something, but the poore thing was just too dry. Two sesions with oils and cream before dying it, and voila!

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend ☺️👍 I love Fiebings, I've never used Buffalo brand. I have used Saddle soap on vintage Coach bags before and was told that also will moisturizer the leather as well but don't add any waxes and oils, it will break down the fibers in the vintage glove tanned leather. I do use waxes and oils on other bags of different types of leather but not the vintage Coach bags, and absolutely never used shoe polish on any bag no matter what the brand.

Will Cadillac brand suitable for vintage coach bags?

Hello, curious when you use hair dryer to dry how long does it usually take to dry a bag to 95%? Thank u!

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, it all depends really. If it's on a rainy day it will take longer because of the moisture in the air and also depends on the bag. I've completely dried bags in around twenty minutes and some much longer. The bags that take much longer such as around 30+ minutes I will take short brakes.

Is it ok to use saddle soap?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, yes absolutely! But make very sure to rinse the bag well afterwards. I only use saddle soap if I'm out of the Apple Care cleaner or Coach brand cleaner. But saddle soap is fine if you rinse very well. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day 🌹

What do you wipe your bag with?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend! When I wipe down my bags I use a clean white cotton tee-shirt type rag. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment 🌹 have a wonderful day!

I’ve been perusing the KZbin’s..I don’t think my Maggie is vintage, but the question is, can I clean it and immerse it like the vintage bags?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend! Does it need dunked? I only dunk when absolutely needed. In my experience any Coach bag older than 2010 can be dunked, I've even dunked my premium lines with liners with great results. But I don't let my bags sit around for days waiting to dry, I use a hair blow-dryer until finished drying and plenty of moisturizer. Vintage Coach and Coach today are two different brands in my opinion. I've dunked many bags from 2010 and earlier with wonderful results but anything newer than that I probably wouldn't dunk, definitely wouldn't let them soak. Sorry not much help, go with your gut is the best advice.

🖐🖐🏾🖐🏿 Hi Friend, thanks for the tip of how the care for my Coach bag, I will apply those instructions to other bags I have, it only makes sense. I was going to comment in other videos, how you keep your Coach bags looking so pristine, but I clicked on this video, and there was the answer. In your opinion, which is best, Applecare, Coach or did you say Kiwi? Thank You, I am sure any questions I have about Coach will be answered in one of your video, if not, I will ask. Have a great weekend ❣

Hi friend, I should make a update video on this because the Coach brand conditioner is for the leathers they make today even though it says "Glove tanned leather" on the bottle, the glove tanned leather today is totally not the same. The very best conditioner when it comes to the vintage glove tanned leather is Apple Care because it doesn't have any oils waxes and stuff that can break down the vintage fiber of the leather. Kiwi is good too but like the Coach brand it's been changed with some of the ingredients. If you use the Coach or Kiwi brand I wouldn't use it but once a year, if that. But with the Apple Care you can use as much as you like and it will keep the bags fresh and new. Hope this helps 😃👍 have a wonderful day 🌹

Vintage coach bags are so well made, most just need a dunk and some leather conditioner to reshape and restore fading. It makes me sad to see people use polish on their bags. It destroys the beauty of the natural full grain leather :(

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Agree 💯 my friend! I just don't get it. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🌹 have a wonderful day!

[@mimig6932]

It’s crazy what some people do to their bags. How ridiculous to put oil or shoe polish on your bags. They rot in front of their eyes, I say oh well.. lol..

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Yes you're right it's absolutely ridiculous! And there's so many videos out there telling others to do it, but if you take a look at their bags it's obvious that they don't take them seriously and just don't care LOL! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🌹 have a wonderful day 🙂👍

[@makeeverythingsparkle1611]

Oh my why would anyone use cooking oil. I'm not trying to eat my purse 😩

[@vintagecoachcollector]

It's absolutely ridiculous isn't it?! But so many people do it for some crazy reason. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🌹 I truly appreciate you my friend ☺️👍 have a wonderful evening!

[@ellarush4075]

Oh noooo why would anyone use food grade oils on bags?! They go rancid! 😭 Oils and moisturizers already exist for leather and many brands are affordable.

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Couldn't agree more! I do use wax and leather oils on some bags but NEVER the vintage Coach bags. Those bags won't last if waxes and oils are used on them. Thank you so much for watching 😊 have a wonderful day 🌹

[@b.douglas2753]

You don't want to put olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil or any of those types of oils because they go rancid. Yuck.

[@purple_purses]

Wow! You’re such a wonderful resource . I love using the Coach leather conditioner, too, on my vintage Coach and any of my other bags, too. ( it brought a Balenciaga City bag that I purchased on Poshmark back to life!) I can’t imagine using any kind of oil, because I’d worry about smells and my bag getting sticky. 😩
