bag restoration: vintage coach barclay bag with molds

assess the areas with molds.





prepare bleach to disinfect and permanently get rid of molds.  pour it in the water with dishwashing liquid of your choice. 


start washing.  i used soft nylon mesh brush to help me thoroughly clean the suede interior of the bag.



rinse, rinse, rinse.


stuff with old clothes or old towels to bring back original shape.


hang to dry.  preferably in filtered sunlight to avoid color loss.


apply leather conditioner when 80% to 90% dry.


inspect for molds and other issues.  completely dry the bag indoor.




enjoy your fresh, clean, and mold-free vintage coach bag.

beautiful christmas

i made a huge sale last night thanks to facebook group pinoy antiques and junkshop pickers.  i can describe this group as a friendly online playground for like-minded people.  this is a place where you can share and sell your picks of the day, as well as to humblebrag your antique collection.  i definitely learned a lot from this group.




also, a million thanks to my super generous clients, sir dolphy and the cool kiddos for purchasing most of my listed items.  this truly made my family's christmas even merrier.


i wish everyone a beautiful vintage christmas and a happy new year!
