  • In this video I try to show you how I test a Vintage Coach Bag for Paint or Polish. Sometimes it is obvious but some times, not so much.
    Does your bag feel off? Not respond to leather conditioner (with adequate time for it to do so)? Do you see signs of paint? Demarcations? Inner leather is different? Color on hardware?
    I saw some of these things on my Rare Vintage Metal Tag Coach Bag and I was NERVOUS to test it out. Sadly, it was true and I could not let the bag continue as is, unable to be cared for or flourish. I believe this bag had been painted lightly to give a more even look, was used and was left with scratch marks onto the paint. Time to let her breathe and live another 60 years!

    Thank you for your reply! How should I proceed with getting the blue polish off? I’ve watched all your videos on this. Shud I clean with saddle soap to get the blue polish off? I saw how you cleaned a dirty bag w saddle soap, water, and toothbrush. I wud not think bathing it would really take the blue polish off. THANK YOU, Anita

      @@anitalayton5139 yes a technique with removing polish that is more fresh is saddle soap surface cleaning condition, rest and repeat as necessary. Same technique as the video you are speaking of.

    What’s the difference between paint and shoe polish? I purchased a vintage coach bag and rubbed it with toilet paper. So much blue came off. I contacted the seller and she said she used tinted blue moisturizer. I’m not sure I buy this. Your thoughts? I love your videos:) anita

      @@anitalayton5139 not sure what ‘tinted’ moisturizer is….sounds like polish or cream which is just another polish. Paint won’t just wipe off, needs to be chemically removed.

    What a beautiful bag. Are you keeping the straps? I can't wait to see the full transformation. TY

      I am keeping them. They look great, the attachment process could have been better but I love this bag as a shoulder carry.
