i just got one today for 3.99 too!!! it’s got wear and tear mostly on the seams. did not expect to spend 40$ on cleaners though!! looking for more affordable cleaners that are comparable in quality but slightly less expensive. 25$ budget for a coach purse, here 🤣🤓
I have a vintage coach court bag that I bought at a yard sale for $1.00 about a year ago, and it became my favorite bag. It goes with everything, it's so easy to organize, and it's not to small, but not big enough to over fill and make too heavy. A few of my friends make fun of it because it's so beat up looking. My Mom asked me "who's Grandma did you mug?" the first time she saw me carrying it.
One of my hobbies used to be finding vintage Coach in ivory and white (usually filthy but structurally perfect. & always super inexpendive) and dye/rehab/flip them. My favorite transformation was a white Doctor bag from the 80s that I did in the early 2000''s My technique for eaning and conditioning was similar to yours. Wet vintage Coach can get pretty stinky though! It is a unique odor, that is for sure. I still do this but no longer flip them. My latest were a Cashin crescent bag (ivory now a purpley-beet shade) and a lunchpail (white to a bluish- lavender). Coach from the 60s-90s will always be my favorite die to the quality of the craftsmanship. My small non-rehab collection is primarily Bonnie Cashin styles and a few classic bags from the 80s.
It's because the towel gives it a mildew smell. I do this same trick only after rinsing the bag I reshape with a towel and partially blow dry with cool air via blow blowdryer, then I take the towel out and sit the bag outside if nice to continue to dry or if in a hurry i will use a bit of heat switching from heat to cool heat until completely dry. Then I rub mink oil into the bag with my hands because the warmth from my hands help melt the oil into the leather. Then I buff buff buff. Comes out like new every time with absolutely no smells. I usually clean all the brass with Brasso before soaking the bag in case I get any of the Brasso on the leather.
This has been my favorite bag of all time! I bought it new in the 1990’s and haven’t used it in a long while as it looks too worn. I am also too fond of it to part with it. Thanks for the tutorial on how to improve the looks. I’ll definitely try it!
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
There was a documentary recently where some very wealthy women were interviewed. These women talked about how they no longer buy authentic purses, but instead choose to buy real quality *preluxz* designer bags that they actually like. They then use the money they saved to invest in other things like real estate, stocks, etc.
Yep same it’s generally not a good idea to do that. Also dish soap can be very drying to the leather in the same way it can dry out your hands. Anyone thinking of doing this there’s Lots of foaming shampoos and conditioners for leather available online! you just work with a brush and wipe down with a cloth. Plus turning a structured hand bag inside out like that can pop stitches as it may need force. Take you’re time and be patient with getting the corners from inside and you’ll get the same clean results
I just bought a 9090 Legacy in British Tan. It's in pretty decent shape but definitely needs a cleaning. I'm nervous but I'm going to follow your steps. Thank you for an informative video!
I just love Vintage Coach leather bags and the Vintage Styles alltogether. I use the very same process you do with the submarge into lukewarm water with Dawn dishliquit or I use one with a Degreaser to help with cleaning the inner lining. ----- Walmert USA have a knock-off of " MEANGREEN" a degreaser cleaner for Only $0.98 cents and boy! does that thing works wonders on cleaning the Fabric and leather Coach bags. I Cleaned like over 5 Coach bags with Leather and Fabric/ Canvas in Submerge lukewarm water. I used a little of the degreaser solution and my hands to work the fabric with a Horse hair brush or toothbrush for hard areas inside. A Denture Toothbrush is really good too for shoes etc. Leather bags Ok , but Suede is a little different with this process because Suede is a bit more raw and needs to be process differently with water cleaning. I let them Air dry on a pants hanger for 4 days rotating them as needed. If you are using pants hanger put something between the part you are attaching to hold the bag or it will cause indentation on the leather. Hang Upside down is best so the Water drains away from the rest of the bag. ---- If you are in Canada the " MEANGREEN" is located at the Canadian Tire Stores.
I bought a really beat up Dooney and Burke bag for a steal to basically use as a test case. Thanks for the thorough video! I always see great Coach bags that are just majorly scuffed up and I've been too unsure of my own skills to buy them and try to help bring them back to life.
Thank you for the instructions. It would have been so nice to see the finished bag at the end. I checked your blog and it wasn't there, either. Have you ever cleaned a white coach bag or know how those come out?
This is how my mom clean her bags, she actually puts them in the washing machine but I was afraid to do the same. Haha I guess her method it’s not too bad ! Thanks for the video
This is great, so glad I found this! I have a vintage Coach bag that I got super cheap from a thrift shop. I cleaned and conditioned but parts are just very faded (saddle brown color). Do you do anything to restore color?
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!
Super helpful! I have a Kate Spade bag that I’ve used forever and she’s looking a little sad, I just bought a cleaner and a few conditioners, as well as a few more KS bags so I can take her out of rotation 😉
Thank you so much for sharing - this video is SO helpful. I also just watched your video where you speak about the Stewardess bag being your very favorite. It’s mine too and I am planning to clean one that I got recently. It looks like it was cleaned and conditioned without a dunk perhaps as the bag looks great but the inside seams tell a different story. Is the Stewardess bag able to be turned inside out? Did you do it to clean yours? Just looking for a little more courage to do it LOL thanks so much for your help :)
Thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing putting it in the water...I have difficulties in cleaning my Hamilton D1093-F13811 Tan Leather Satchel as it is in creamy colour and covered with me marks all over (Hong Kong is having high humidity over half of the year). Would you share how I can clean those mole marks and restore the light coloured leather bag? Much appreciated!
And I also want to clean my Coach Khaki Gold Patchwork Suede F0993-F14007. The suede part is darkened by dirt. How should I clean it with different materials in a single bag?
Is it okay to do this with a blue de chauffeur shoulder bag? I bought it from the second-hand shop the other day and now I realised the leather is. Can you help me??
I have a couple of vintage '90s Coach bags that I've purchased from thrift stores that are in overall great condition, but their brass turnlocks are a little scuffed/tarnished. I know it's not hard to replace the turnlock, but wondered your thoughts on whether it's a good idea to do so or not? Thank you in advance for any advice!
You can clean the tarnish and brighten the brass by using Brasso Metal polish or Goddard's Brass & Copper polish. I like Goddard's consistency better, it's easier to control.
Hi, I have just purchased a vintage coach and am planning on following this cleaning routine to freshen it up! I have seen a few comments on the smell of a wet vintage coach? Does the smell last and what kind of smell is it?
Do you have any tips on caring for the inside of a leather vintage coach? Do you happen to have mildew of some sort on leather vintage coach at times, too?
I have a question about a bag clean up. It is a tan pebble leather and the bag is only 5 years old. It has some worn places and some scratches - not dirty. what should I do to help bring it back to life?
Thank u for the video! I was curious do you do anything (like a suede brush) for the unlined leather inside the bag? I hear they tend to flatten or not be “suede” like feel after a wash? Thank u!
Jennifer Cho thanks for watching! Nope, I don’t use anything for the unlined leather inside the bag. It doesn’t flatten at all for the bags I’ve cleaned, it looks exactly the same. I have purchased some vintage Coach that have been cleaned (probably professionally) and the inside does not look like suede anymore so I know what you’re talking about. But just cleaning at home like how I’ve shown, the inside suede is fine! :) let me know what other videos you’d like to see!
Can this be done to the very old NYC vintage Coach bags? I read they were made a little different and wasn’t sure if they can be submerged in water. Thanks!
The purse I use is the Coach Coty Bag my dad bought my mom when my littlest brother was born. He’s getting married this summer so it’s kind of wild that it had held up so well.
I saw your video I think 3 months ago and since then, I keep thinking of vintage coach until I got decided and bought 3 used bags. I already washed the 2 and one of it is almost dry( washed it like you did). And now I am going to see if I can bring it back or make it like new. I did not see that bags are faded and damaged until I received it
Everyone’s like “omg I thrifted mine for $2” meanwhile I had to buy mine from a reseller for $60 because they raid my local thrift store all the time 😭
I bought a tan vintage bag with big water marks and I just soaked it with detergent and the water marks are not coming out and the bag has all these marks. I hope when it dry the marks are less visible
Barbara K I used Brasso which you can get at Walmart or Amazon. I applied it with a q-tip and polished with a soft cloth. I got some on the leather but it wasn’t affected by it. Just wipe it off. Then I washed the bag as shown on the video.
As an "average" treatment this video is OK, but DEPENDS ON THE BAG CONDITION, if you treat some the same vigorous way is done here you will damage it, in some vintage the stitching is not as solid, some have problems with the piping, do this type of cleaning depending on how solid the bag is. Also.... if you let a bag dry with the flap over the handle, it will make indentations... WATCH OUT FOR GENERIC ADVICE!
There is absolutely no reason to immerse your bag in water. Nor to leave it soaking. You are teaching your viewers to destroy their bags. A good cleaning with a suede brush and wipe down with a damp cloth is all you really need. A good leather conditioner is all you need. How do you heal leather when it is animal skin? Over the years the leather hardens and cracks. The beauty of the leather and the softness is gone. Then I find them in thrift shops as discarded junk. Very sad. Just my opinion.
I appreciate an uncomplicated, educated commentary from someone more experienced than I am. I thoroughly enjoyed this explanation & its effectiveness was only possible for MY comprehension by her use of language. I was able to both see & hear her angle/theory/explanation of her technique for cleaning vintage Coach leather bags... And, yes - many videos I do back out due to empty verbose. If I don't like it, I just leave it. No need for empty criticism... Thank you for this educational video!
oh my God..its already too much. Add more water' scrub it add more water. my MCM purse is not dirty and I do not want to dunk it. I want to spot clean then add the leather softener.
Today I purchased a Black Vintage Stewardess COACH Purse for $4.99 and yes, you read that right. Such a blessing, yeah ME🥰 8.16.2020
i just got one today for 3.99 too!!! it’s got wear and tear mostly on the seams. did not expect to spend 40$ on cleaners though!! looking for more affordable cleaners that are comparable in quality but slightly less expensive. 25$ budget for a coach purse, here 🤣🤓
Where did you purchase? 😍
Kelly Kane wow! From where??

Where to buy these? At goodwill?
Hello,may i know what particular dye product you used when you dye your bag into purple? I would love to try on my city bag. thank you.
What brand dyes did you use?
I have never been disappointed with a *preluxz* bag handbag. I feel like I own a piece of art every time I use the handbag.
This has been my favorite bag of all time! I bought it new in the 1990’s and haven’t used it in a long while as it looks too worn. I am also too fond of it to part with it. Thanks for the tutorial on how to improve the looks. I’ll definitely try it!
I just found a vintage coach willis at a Flea market for $1. Yes for real One dollar. Thanks for showing me how to clean it and bring it back to life.
This is my first (but not the last) purchase of a D U P B A G Y bag. For the affordable price, it exceeded my expectations! It's soft, the perfect size, and the color is gorgeous! Love this bag!
I just bought two vintage Coach handbags and this is exactly what I needed ✅ Thanks ‼️
Resha Peregrino-Brimah you are so welcome! Thank you for watching
There was a documentary recently where some very wealthy women were interviewed. These women talked about how they no longer buy authentic purses, but instead choose to buy real quality *preluxz* designer bags that they actually like. They then use the money they saved to invest in other things like real estate, stocks, etc.
Love DUPBAGY the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other TH-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Super helpful and straight to the point video. Thank you so much for posting this!
I screamed when you turned the bag inside out. I straight up died when you dunked it in the sink.
hahaha I guess I know nothing about leather
Literally! I thought you can't wash or soak it with water :O
I nearly fainted when she put the handbag in water!!!!! EEK!!!!!!
Same!
Yep same it’s generally not a good idea to do that. Also dish soap can be very drying to the leather in the same way it can dry out your hands.

You can do it only with some coach bags
I just bought a 9090 Legacy in British Tan. It's in pretty decent shape but definitely needs a cleaning. I'm nervous but I'm going to follow your steps. Thank you for an informative video!
did you try this video on your bag and how did it turn out
I would have NEVER believed you could put leather in a sink of water. Thank you for sharing your process.
You are %100 right about particles embedding deeper into bag when it gets wet should you fail to vacuum It first.
I just love Vintage Coach leather bags and the Vintage Styles alltogether. I use the very same process you do with the submarge into lukewarm water with Dawn dishliquit or I use one with a Degreaser to help with cleaning the inner lining.

I’m planning on doing this tonight with one of my vintage Coach bags. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the instructions. It would have been so nice to see the finished bag at the end. I checked your blog and it wasn't there, either. Have you ever cleaned a white coach bag or know how those come out?
This is how my mom clean her bags, she actually puts them in the washing machine but I was afraid to do the same. Haha I guess her method it’s not too bad ! Thanks for the video
You can dry them in the dryer to avoid this prolonged drying process here.
Love watching your vintage coach bags! So informative. Great job! :)
messylazysundays thank you! Planning to create a few more soon!
I found a vintage quality black leather purse I want to clean (unlined). I didn't realize I could put it in soapy water!
This is great, so glad I found this! I have a vintage Coach bag that I got super cheap from a thrift shop. I cleaned and conditioned but parts are just very faded (saddle brown color). Do you do anything to restore color?
how much did u buy it for
You can airbrush it
Detail cleaning thank you so much
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!

Lakeisha Bridgeman awww thanks :) I’m glad you enjoy my videos! Let me know if there are any videos in particular that you’d like to see!
Thank you love the collection and like watching how people clean them.
Diana P you are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed :)
I have the small backpack like this and it does need to be cleaned so thank you so much for the info
Can you wash bags with fabric linings as well?
I am just waiting the first 20' under soap water for the first Coach bag that I ever washed. 🙈 I hope it goes well, thanka for the tutorial❤
Can you explain how to get cigarette smell out of Coach full leather purses?
Excellent video. Thank you. Now to just suck it up and do it. Eeeks! Btw…love your top!
I love coach brand and fossil brand. I get at thrift store but haven't gotten to clean and restore them. The water bath scares me a little.
Your bag is super cute.
Enjoyed the cleaning process.
Are you selling any of your Regina bags?
Is it ok to soak multi coloured leather bags? Will the black dye color white leather areas? I'm nervous to soak mine!
Thank you so much for sharing - this video is SO helpful. I also just watched your video where you speak about the Stewardess bag being your very favorite.

I just bought a screaming red leather 9966 from poshmark and want to clean...will the water damage the red color or stain it? Thanks
Question! With the leather conditioner you used would it darken the light skin bag? I just bought a willis it has a watermark like on the flap.
I'd like to know your opinion of using black kiwi cleaner for black bags.
Question: I have a off white coach and the corners are wearing off. On the bottom. Any suggestions?
One gets mold and verdegris on the handbag. Maybe spot cleaning but it will shrink and ruin it
Would this work for a two tone bag? I have a bag that has dark red pebble leather and light brown accent leather. Im worried the red may bleed.
Had no idea you can wash leather like this. Thank
Thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing putting it in the water...I have difficulties in cleaning my Hamilton D1093-F13811 Tan Leather Satchel as it is in creamy colour and covered with me marks all over (Hong Kong is having high humidity over half of the year).

pema choedon I’m not sure what a de chauffeur bag is!
your videos are soooo helpful! just what i needed! was wondering do you have tips of polishing coach brass? or getting it replaced?
I have found that Brasso works very well!
Have you ever used kiwi conditioning oil to condition leather?
I have a couple of vintage '90s Coach bags that I've purchased from thrift stores that are in overall great condition, but their brass turnlocks are a little scuffed/tarnished.

Brasso worked very well for me
I just found a vintage coach at an antique mall for $16. This is the perfect video :)
I just found one for 20. Just dunked mine.
Do you have experience with removing ink stains on vintage coach bag?
Hi, I have just purchased a vintage coach and am planning on following this cleaning routine to freshen it up! I have seen a few comments on the smell of a wet vintage coach? Does the smell last and what kind of smell is it?
SamanthaJo W it’s kind of just like an old leather type smell but it does go away, especially if you use a conditioner with a scent!
It goes away but I also do a couple drops of my favorite essential oil on inside
Do you have any tips on caring for the inside of a leather vintage coach?
Do you happen to have mildew of some sort on leather vintage coach at times, too?
Do you have any tips on cleaning the hardware? Thanks!
thank you
Would this cleaning process work on a Brighton bag?
My sister puts her vintage coach bags in the washing machine on gentle with a little detergent then conditions it with mink oil.
I have a question about a bag clean up. It is a tan pebble leather and the bag is only 5 years old. It has some worn places and some scratches - not dirty. what should I do to help bring it back to life?
Try leather balm (conditioner) if it's not coated leather.
Thank u for the video! I was curious do you do anything (like a suede brush) for the unlined leather inside the bag? I hear they tend to flatten or not be “suede” like feel after a wash? Thank u!

But just cleaning at home like how I’ve shown, the inside suede is fine! :) let me know what other videos you’d like to see!
Do I have to let it air dry or can I use a blow dryer to dry it?
No.no.no. don't use heat it dry's leather out uneven and can ruin the leather!! Leather needs too dry slowly!! Lease don't rush the process.
Can this be done to the very old NYC vintage Coach bags? I read they were made a little different and wasn’t sure if they can be submerged in water. Thanks!
I,ve done several with no problems afterwards.
How can you take off the stretches?
The purse I use is the Coach Coty Bag my dad bought my mom when my littlest brother was born. He’s getting married this summer so it’s kind of wild that it had held up so well.
Interesting information! Thanks 🤗
How do u clean inside the bag if its swade
Thanks for this restoration. I have that bag in white. I’m definitely trying this!
How was your experience did it clean well?
Great job 👍❤️
Albena C thank you!!
I am interested in this bag, can you please do a review on this bag? Thanks!
Bebeeru sure will do! Let me know if you’re still interested!!
I saw your video I think 3 months ago and since then, I keep thinking of vintage coach until I got decided and bought 3 used bags. I already washed the 2 and one of it is almost dry( washed it like you did). And now I am going to see if I can bring it back or make it like new. I did not see that bags are faded and damaged until I received it
Lucyyyyyy I want to buy this baggggggg
Leave me a comment below and let me know if you’ve ever cleaned a vintage bag and what kind of bag you cleaned!
I’ve done 2 and they turned out very well!
Would this work for all leather coach bags?
Would this technique work on a vintage Mulberry bag with a suede interior?
Everyone’s like “omg I thrifted mine for $2” meanwhile I had to buy mine from a reseller for $60 because they raid my local thrift store all the time
😭
I bought a tan vintage bag with big water marks and I just soaked it with detergent and the water marks are not coming out and the bag has all these marks. I hope when it dry the marks are less visible
Love the style of vintage Coach bags, but too small for all my STUFF. This bag is the size of just my wallet 🤣😂
Thanks for tips...❤️👜
Hi,
I really appreciated your video, thank you.
Would you please give me the name of this bag ?
Thank you very much
Just bought one for $40! Let’s see if I can restore or ruin it tmr lol
Did you know that coach has it's own leather cleaner and conditioner? Have you already tried it?
Do you still have one of these ?
Anyone know how to fix the turnlock?
Coach will replace it for a fee.
💜💜💜
Good
How do u restore the brass finishes?
Barbara K I used Brasso which you can get at Walmart or Amazon. I applied it with a q-tip and polished with a soft cloth. I got some on the leather but it wasn’t affected by it. Just wipe it off. Then I washed the bag as shown on the video.
I used sos steel wool pad works great! Shine and takes off the tarnish finish.
Barbara K I haven’t restored the brass before but there are videos about restoring the brass!
Where is your dress from?? 😍😍😆
I put the conditioner with my hands in gloves, to not waste the product, that would soak into the cloth....
As an "average" treatment this video is OK, but DEPENDS ON THE BAG CONDITION, if you treat some the same vigorous way is done here you will damage it, in some vintage the stitching is not as solid, some have problems with the piping, do this type of cleaning depending on how solid the bag is. Also.... if you let a bag dry with the flap over the handle, it will make indentations... WATCH OUT FOR GENERIC ADVICE!
What about bags with lining ?
I wouldn’t recommend anything that’s coconut oil or mink because they go bad and the last thing you want is for a rotten bag.
If the bag has water streaks in it. Will washing the bag. Get rid of them.
Do not use chlorine water use filtered water.
Let me know if you are selling one of them pleaseeeeee🙏🙏🙏
Haha unfortunately I don’t have any right now but will let you know if I do! It’s a cute style!!
The Lucy Space thank you sweetie . Please do let me know, I really want this lovely bag. Thank you Lucy. I love your videos 🙏👍
There is absolutely no reason to immerse your bag in water. Nor to leave it soaking. You are teaching your viewers to destroy their bags.

Over the years the leather hardens and cracks. The beauty of the leather and the softness is gone. Then I find them in thrift shops as discarded junk.
Very sad. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the tips. As a suggestion, this video would be much shorter if you could be more succint and to the point.
You talk too much
I appreciate an uncomplicated, educated commentary from someone more experienced than I am. I thoroughly enjoyed this explanation & its effectiveness was only possible for MY comprehension by her use of language. I was able to both see & hear her angle/theory/explanation of her technique for cleaning vintage Coach leather bags...
And, yes - many videos I do back out due to empty verbose. If I don't like it, I just leave it. No need for empty criticism...
Thank you for this educational video!
Anyone know what she used to paint/ color the bag ?
Hate when people talk so much.. 🙄
Stop talking so much with chit-chat that has nothing to do with cleaning the bag. My TH-cam pet peeve: people who cannot stop talking.
less talk....bored
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Indra Salleh go do something
Then go find something to do since you're so bored, just dumb
oh my God..its already too much. Add more water' scrub it add more water. my MCM purse is not dirty and I do not want to dunk it. I want to spot clean then add the leather softener.
thank you
Talk too much!
