I think it was me who got the bag correct. It's a GUCCI lady lock. I have a vintage one that's not quite as old as yours. It would originally have a key very similar to Hermes bags. Mine still has the key. The handbag clinic is based here in Newcastle upon Tyne. Maybe you could get a video out of it? A behind the scenes look at the restoration process?
Ohh I'd love to see a video of the handbag restoration process...maybe you could then loan it to a fashion museum along woth those yukky Gucci shoes...I think there is a fashion museum in one of the major London museums...
I actually LIKE the Gucci espadrilles - if you stuff them with tissue paper and use a steamer to reshape them. Use a spray on fabric cleaner to lighten the color. Amazon has stick-on heel pads that really work. Apply to the inside of where your heel would rub. They are padded, soft and easily reduce the fit to a good half-size. They would look utterly ‘cool’ on you as clearly vintage treasures. Think wabi-sabi, Mr. C.! 👍🙋♀️🇺🇸🥰‼️
Don’t think I am nuts but I had a very old pair of flats that looked like they went through a shredder, I didn’t want to throw them away as I had them for so long so I thought and finally turned them into planters. I put succulents in them and put them on my porch by the door. I get so many compliments about them as they are adorable. If all else fails you can have a pair of designer planters on your roof top deck.
Before you baby wipe the bag, I would wipe it with a damp cloth of commercial vinegar as that will kill the mould I saw in the close up. I live in a tropical climate and this is common practice for cleaning leather, before then feeding the leather. Mould spores can travel to other parts of your house so wear gloves when handling the bag before treatment.
Hiya, you can get leather wipes in the supermarket and I find them really handy to clean bags and leather shoes although I think they are for furniture. If not saddle soap xx
I watched Sort Your Life Out this morning. My eyes leaked an awful lot! What a totally gorgeous family. The makeover was perfect. My heart went out to Dilly as well, that must have been a tough one for her. She was really strong. Tell her we think she is amazing! Off to put some shaving foam on my carpet now! (P.S. The Gucci bag is 😍)
Oh! Its such a pity that I can't watch your tv show here in Spain. I've even tried changing my VPN to the UK, but that didn't work either. That handbag was a really great find. Can't wait to see your home renovation tomorrow. When I renovated my kitchen and the small toilet room, it took two months as there was all the light switches and sockets to rearrange. I could only microwave cook in the living room for more than one month. It seemed a nightmare, but when it's done you think that it was worth it. Max 🐈, Molly 🐈⬛and Lucy 😼 didn't get stressed as I thought they would. They got out of the way because of the noise, but loved to inspect every corner when the workers left at the end of the day. When I put on laminated floor years ago the moved all the furniture back and forth, I didn't have to worry about moving big furniture around the house.
Love your new fines. The pocketbook can be leather cleaned with leather cleaner. A Magic Easier will clean your shoes. Your can resale the shoes and made a profit.
Top tip for discount codes, if you put +1 or +2 etc at the end of the first part of a Gmail address, a lot of websites recognise it as a new address but Gmail treats it as your original one!
I own horses and use saddle soap on my saddle but its not really soap as such it more to keep leather supple wouldnt use it on a hand bag as it can be bit sticky ❤
I would dye those Gucci shoes navy, put insoles in them fir a better fit. If you want to put the work into them, they might make good knocking around or beach shoes.
Those Gucci espadrilles made me laugh 😂 you are such a good sport and can laugh when things are a bit blergh - it was almost like you were willing them in front of camera to look better than they were! What a tonic 😂 can’t wait to see the home updates Mr C 🏠
The two little girls on last night's SYLO 😍😍😍absolutely adorable. The dad's doing a fabulous job of raising them as a single parent. They melted my heart🤗...I now want a secret room😆 Have you thought of using saddle soap to clean the leather handbag? I use it for our chesterfield sofa and it does a great job. Oh dear, the espadrilles🤭 mix half a cup of water with a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda. Using an old toothbrush or equivalent, work the mixture into the canvas and leave for an hour. With a damp cloth give them a gentle wipe over then use a sports shoe whitener.☺THEN...sell them!!🤣
Hi Iwan great finds omg though espadrilles they have seen better days the joys of shopping online unfortunately everything always look great in pictures I had a few fails myself, love the gucci bag & frying pans, can't wait to c the home update tomorrow have a lovely weekend take care lots of love 💞💞💞
My daughter came in saying mum how do you get crayon of the carpet just as you we're cleaning with mens aftershave..I said there you go so thanks for the tip. Love the show and your brill on it...
To help prevent food sticking to cast iron pans we used to prime them with a good half inch of salt on the bottom. Heat the pan on the hob for 15 minutes and then let the salt cool completely before discarding the salt. Worked a treat before we had non stick pans. Also don’t wash, just wipe out with a cloth.
The espadrilles 😂 … Mount them vertically and staggered inside a glassless vintage frame and tuck in a couple of succulents … for a constant reminder and £35 worth of giggles!
It was a really lovely episode you are right. Sad but happy at the same time because they are getting a bit of support that was greatly needed. Absolutely the kind of folks that deserve all the help 😊😊😊
Well on the positive all but one of the items were an absolute win👌. But 🤣🤣🤣 those shoes. The best bit were the soles. Avoid wearing them Iwan because you don't want to look an R.sole🤣🤣🤣👞👞🤣 sorry cudnt resist that one! 🤣Can't wait to watch sort your life outfits a fantastic programme. Lots of love xxx
Hi on your bag ,you can by leather soap , if you do try leather soap please do a small test piece first ok . Just be careful with wipes , if they contain an oil it may discolour the bag . Test first . Loving your volgs by the way . Hugs to pumpkin and Mittens . I have three cats Leo , Tyson boys and my little girl Misty say hi to Pumpkin and Mittens .😊
Please don’t use baby wipes Mr C, it really dries out the leather, especially on vintage bags. You can get a pack of leather wipes for a couple of pounds which will clean and moisturise the leather. Le Creuset pans don’t need seasoning. Xx🥰💗
Mr Carrington, what was you thinking, those espadrilles, especially the wedges, I am lying in bed with the dredged flu and backache, laughing out loud, love everything else have a blessed day 🙏 😂😂😅
I'm so glad you and the sort your life out crew could help the family last night. Felt so sorry for the daddy and those beautiful girls losing their mummy. Silent tears rolled down my cheek for them. It was one of the best episodes yet.
Yey that was 1 of (the 4) designers I guessed 😃 The silk shirt as soon as u held it up I thought it looked very Versace-esque. I never really got sucked into the whole "UGG" saga tbh i tried the boots when 1st released yonks ago & didn't like the back of them cos they'd scrunch up when i walked & wasnt gonna risk the blisters 😆 BUT (20yrs later 😂) just got a cpl pairs of the shorter ones & they're lush! Yours deffo look like outdoor ones, love the design on the back. x
Oh Iwan thank you for laugh I had about those espadrilles. I suggest you get some fisherman's thick socks that way they become snug. You could be a la mode sur la continent x
You can remove the handle on the pans. The metal part should unscrew and you can then take the handle off. Loved sort your life out this week. Such a lovely family
Morning Iwan great haul apart from the espadrilles they look awful, my favourite was the blue frying pans would love one but don't know if it would work on my induction hob, some induction pans won't work, looking forward to the work you are getting done cannot wait for Sunday take care love to pumpkin and Mittens x
Hey iwan with my cast iron the way i clean them is i just put it on the burner let it get HOT then i oil it generously an let the pan cool a bit then i wipe it out and done my pans look and cook great
Great vlog Mr.C 👍 How do you keep going with all your house changes going on at the moment? Any job causes so much disturbance, but you have a few going on at the same time 🫣 I admired the shacket you were wearing and now you have another lovely one 😊 I'll be interested to see the restoring to former glory of the handbag 👜 a long strap for shoulder or cross body would be good for you using it. Look forward to your next blog already 😊
I love that expression 'just so wrong'it reminds meof very good friend who says it and always makes me laugh as she is always so right when she says it.
I love your blue jacket from River Island. The Gucci bag looks so nice for you. Just clean it. The Gucci espadrille also need to be clean . Don't sell it. It will suits you so well.
Hi Mr Carrington. What a fun video to watch I love the frying pans and the Ugg boots were such a good buy. Those espadrilles reminded me of shoes out of the Victorian times 😂 all you need is a boater hat and blazer and punting a boat along the river 😂😂you really made me laugh. I think selling them on is the best thing you can do with them 😂. Thank you so much for this video really brightened up my day. 💕. I love Sort Your Life Out and I was in tears warching it what a live it family those little girls were adorable 🥰. Loved the tip about rubbing orange along the windowsills in the Wendy house I had never heard of that. I learn so much and get so much inspiration from you and the others on the programme. I felt for Dilly must have been hard for her but she is amazing please send her our love. ❤️. Looking forward to Sundays video. Have a lovely day 😊
The frying pans can be seasoned by just cooking 2 strips of bacon in them, pouring off the grease and rubbing in the residual. For making a shoe fit you can add a foam insole and cordoroy heel liner. For cleaning the espadrilles you might try a peroxide based cleaner. Lemon and sunshine may also help. I wouldn't use a bleach based product.
Love the colour of the pans. Those Ugg boots were a great buy. How lovely was the Dad and the children in Sort Your Life Out last night. You all did such a great job. I’m sorry Dilly has been through all that. I just wanted to give her a great big hug.
Funny 😆 “ Last minute Larry” 🇬🇧 I was guessing Fendi but turns out to be Gucci. Great find! 25 £ not bad. $ 441.00 cad. For like new dark blue version. Some go as high as $6k. Lucky. Have it refurbished. You may fetch a few grand.
I love a good vintage bag. My Longchamp was $5.00 at a thrift shop here in the US. It currently sells in good condition for $120.00, mine is in excellent condition so I am over the moon happy! Same trip I got a vintage Coach leather belt for 29 cents!! They did not know what they had obviously. I feel sorry for your Gucci wedges, poor old things.
Oh goodness! Those espadrilles by Gucci are an absolute scream. When you described clomping about in them I really laughed. Stop the late night scrolling! But please keep the interesting videos coming. Love them ❤️
Hi Mr C just catching up with this haul, thought Sort Your Life Out was excellent this week, very moving and please give Dilly a massive hug ,she's obviously had a tough time ❤. Also the espadrilles are horrible, possibly the worst item you've bought - let's hope they clean up well 😮
If you do decide to keep the espadrilles 😬: To clean white canvas shoes that are turning yellow: use a solution of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1/2 tablespoon each of hydrogen peroxide & water. Brush paste on canvas. Wait until dry to the touch. Wipe off dried paste & rinse in cool water. Air dry indoors. Failing that, get 'em back on Vinted pronto 😁
Oh my! Those shoes were probably quite attractive in their day. I don’t know if you could recover them to their original look. I think they might just fall apart on your feet. The museum is a good idea😂
Hello love, the pans are beautiful and love your new uggs. What a shame about the white espadrilles, not very good. I bought some black ugg dupes from Primark to see if I would like them, as they are not really my style. But I fell in love with them. Fabulous so this year I'm going to treat myself to some real Uggs. So comfortable. Love your vlogs. I also feel the same about pockets. I like to have them.❤❤❤
If you have any face cream noir body cream that is other cheap or expired you can put on a cotton pad or soft cotton cloth and rub it into leather making sure it all goes in and there’s no residue. This rehydrates and revitalises the leather. The bag looks a little brittle from leather drying out
RE: cast iron pan...just cover the wood handle with aluminum foil or try to unscrew the handle ( turn the metal loop at the end) Good Luck!....Love these hauls Mr Carrington:)))
Hi Mr C, just a quick thought about the Gucci shoes, you could try sponge cleaning them with bicarb soda, it may lift the staining a little. If you can't get them clean then you could sponge dye them to cover the staining and cracks. The gucci bag, after cleaning please make sure you replace the natural oils in the leather so it doesn't start to crack. 🤗 🤗 🤗
That type of bag is a timeless piece !! 👏👏👏👏 Even just to carry an iPhone , small iPad/ kindle , plus some needed everyday items would go great for any occasion . ❤😊❤😊
You’re such a lovely person, gentle soul like a good friend. The handbag needs some saddle soap to clean it and renovating cream with colour it will look like new then what a good find. Why did you buy the shoes with a wedge too ? No wonder you laughed bless you. Love the shirt.great pans and Ugg boots are my favourite ❤
Love your frying pan, but have to agree about those awful shoes😂. I watched the new Sort your Life out, the family were lovely and those girls were just too cute, so glad ye were able to help them❤🇮🇪
I have these frying pans. You can prove them stove top. Heat them up till they are really hot. Turn the heat off and pour in a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Use a piece of kitchen roll to wipe the oil all over the black interior then leave to cool. I do mine every few times I wash it up. Fabulous pans lovely even high heat potential. 😘
I bet you can clean those shoes up quite nicely & maybe wear them on holiday. Those frying pans can you unscrew the handles off ? Love the shirt and the shacket.
Just wash the pans with mild soap and water, I just use a bit of oil on paper towel and wipe it all around the wipe it off after but I do not put my pan in oven to season, I just use it normally, then wash in hot water and wipe all oil out before hand. I’ve not had a problem as the pans season the more they are used. Using a lot of detergents is not always good for the interior finish. I found that putting oil in the pan and then heating in oven makes the oil gummy no matter how little. That’s been my experience. Hope this helps Iwan. Very sorry about your kitchen too and hope once and for all the leak and all is taken care of soon. ❤❤❤
Those Gucci shoes could do with being returned to the seller or as you suggested selling on. Loved the Ugg boots though❤. Pats for the cats. I hope all the work is finished soon and you can enjoy the refurb. Xxx
Hi Iwan beautiful bag❤, please show us how it turns out. I liked all your other finds, EXCEPT the espadrilles, a big disappointment 😢. Something similar happened to me with a pair of brogues I purchased online. No more Vinted shopping late at night 😂. Take care Gale x
I think it was me who got the bag correct. It's a GUCCI lady lock. I have a vintage one that's not quite as old as yours. It would originally have a key very similar to Hermes bags. Mine still has the key.
The handbag clinic is based here in Newcastle upon Tyne. Maybe you could get a video out of it? A behind the scenes look at the restoration process?
Ahh thank you! 🙌❤️
@@MrCarrington you're welcome 💗
Great find. I'm so jealous. 😄
Ohh I'd love to see a video of the handbag restoration process...maybe you could then loan it to a fashion museum along woth those yukky Gucci shoes...I think there is a fashion museum in one of the major London museums...
See if you can find a shoulder strap for the bag, so you can wear it over your shoulder
Oh Iwan,those espadrilles! Apart from the obvious staining i think the worse part of them is the WEDGE😂😂😂😂😂
They remind me of something my Mam wore in the 80's 😂
Yes I agree! They look like a woman’s shoe! Poor soul with feet that large for a lady!!!😮
Could you paint the espadrilles? A deep mustard to match the current stains? A light olive green?
Put some shoe horns in them. Would they go in the washing machine, put some insoles in them
Sorry, the shoes are awful.

I was going to comment the same - what a beautiful episode but so, so sad x Well done to the SYLO Team - those gorgeous little girls x
😂😂😂😂Nearly fell over 🏃♂️ to the comments. Those Esperdrills. 😮 there's Vintage & there's Vintaged .
Oh! Its such a pity that I can't watch your tv show here in Spain. I've even tried changing my VPN to the UK, but that didn't work either. That handbag was a really great find.

Hiya you can buy proper leather soap called saddle soap. It's especially made to clean leather.
Also provide a moisturizer to it when cleaned.
You can also buy cleaner for canvas shoes x
I own horses and use saddle soap on my saddle but its not really soap as such it more to keep leather supple wouldnt use it on a hand bag as it can be bit sticky ❤
I would dye those Gucci shoes navy, put insoles in them fir a better fit. If you want to put the work into them, they might make good knocking around or beach shoes.

Messin about in boats!
Wrap tin foil over the handles on the frying pans to put the whole pan in oven
I wan - Saddle Soap for your Gucci bag!!🙋♀️🇺🇸🥰‼️
You may be able unscrew the frying pan handles to go in the oven ! X
The printed shirt is very Bruno Mars versace style! It is quite luxurious looking perfect for a balmy holiday evening. ❤
Oh my giddy aunt! Those shoes! 😶
The shoes!🙈
The two little girls on last night's SYLO 😍😍😍absolutely adorable. The dad's doing a fabulous job of raising them as a single parent. They melted my heart🤗...I now want a secret room😆 Have you thought of using saddle soap to clean the leather handbag? I use it for our chesterfield sofa and it does a great job. Oh dear, the espadrilles🤭 mix half a cup of water with a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda. Using an old toothbrush or equivalent, work the mixture into the canvas and leave for an hour.

Saddle soap to clean up your Guggi find x
Kim Woodburn uses saddle soap on leather maybe that will work on the handbag :)
Favourite find - definitely the UGG boots :)
Not in a weird way but a sheet chat, shacket, handbag kind of way ❤
Hi Iwan great finds omg though espadrilles they have seen better days the joys of shopping online unfortunately everything always look great in pictures I had a few fails myself, love the gucci bag & frying pans, can't wait to c the home update tomorrow have a lovely weekend take care lots of love 💞💞💞
Another fun haul! Maybe with the right out fit the shoes could be fab. Think vintage. You might just start a trend!😅 ❤🇺🇸
My daughter came in saying mum how do you get crayon of the carpet just as you we're cleaning with mens aftershave..I said there you go so thanks for the tip. Love the show and your brill on it...

Oh but oh the shoes I love your shopping but I don’t know what you were thinking with you on the laughter !
I would dye them black - which is what I did with a pair of old brown shoes and it truly made them look good .
The espadrilles 😂 … Mount them vertically and staggered inside a glassless vintage frame and tuck in a couple of succulents … for a constant reminder and £35 worth of giggles!
Omg that is genius px
It was a really lovely episode you are right. Sad but happy at the same time because they are getting a bit of support that was greatly needed. Absolutely the kind of folks that deserve all the help 😊😊😊
Please show us how you clean those beautiful LeCreuset pans. And definitely show those off in the new kitchen!
You can oil and then heat your blue cast iron on the stovetop.
Well on the positive all but one of the items were an absolute win👌. But 🤣🤣🤣 those shoes. The best bit were the soles. Avoid wearing them Iwan because you don't want to look an R.sole🤣🤣🤣👞👞🤣 sorry cudnt resist that one! 🤣Can't wait to watch sort your life outfits a fantastic programme. Lots of love xxx
Hi on your bag ,you can by leather soap , if you do try leather soap please do a small test piece first ok . Just be careful with wipes , if they contain an oil it may discolour the bag . Test first . Loving your volgs by the way . Hugs to pumpkin and Mittens . I have three cats Leo , Tyson boys and my little girl Misty say hi to Pumpkin and Mittens .😊
Love the bag. No to the espadrilles!
Those cast iron pans are a bargain. Enjoy.
Please don’t use baby wipes Mr C, it really dries out the leather, especially on vintage bags. You can get a pack of leather wipes for a couple of pounds which will clean and moisturise the leather. Le Creuset pans don’t need seasoning. Xx🥰💗

Great haul Iwan love the pans looking forward to seeing the transformation on Sunday 👍
I think the issue with the shoes are the profile of the heel, looks sort of like a woman's wedge. Fun vid!
Oh Iwan thank you for laugh I had about those espadrilles. I suggest you get some fisherman's thick socks that way they become snug. You could be a la mode sur la continent x
You can remove the handle on the pans. The metal part should unscrew and you can then take the handle off.
Loved sort your life out this week. Such a lovely family
Love the bag ❤ You could tell it was quality vintage.
Great haul, like that bag and those shirts are nice,👍
i love the shirt def Versace vibe
This weeks Sort Your Life out was wonderful 🎉What a lovely family! Those children are adorable ❤so deserving of your help.
Morning Iwan great haul apart from the espadrilles they look awful, my favourite was the blue frying pans would love one but don't know if it would work on my induction hob, some induction pans won't work, looking forward to the work you are getting done cannot wait for Sunday take care love to pumpkin and Mittens x
Hey iwan with my cast iron the way i clean them is i just put it on the burner let it get HOT then i oil it generously an let the pan cool a bit then i wipe it out and done my pans look and cook great
I would think about the gucci espadrilles , maybe dying the canvas?.. 🤔🤔🤔
Great vlog Mr.C 👍 How do you keep going with all your house changes going on at the moment?

Always a fan of le creuset
I love that expression 'just so wrong'it reminds meof very good friend who says it and always makes me laugh as she is always so right when she says it.
I love your blue jacket from River Island.
The Gucci bag looks so nice for you. Just clean it.
The Gucci espadrille also need to be clean . Don't sell it. It will suits you so well.
Hi Mr Carrington. What a fun video to watch I love the frying pans and the Ugg boots were such a good buy. Those espadrilles reminded me of shoes out of the Victorian times 😂 all you need is a boater hat and blazer and punting a boat along the river 😂😂you really made me laugh.

I felt for Dilly must have been hard for her but she is amazing please send her our love. ❤️. Looking forward to Sundays video. Have a lovely day 😊
The frying pans can be seasoned by just cooking 2 strips of bacon in them, pouring off the grease and rubbing in the residual. For making a shoe fit you can add a foam insole and cordoroy heel liner. For cleaning the espadrilles you might try a peroxide based cleaner. Lemon and sunshine may also help. I wouldn't use a bleach based product.
Saddlesoap for leather goods cleaning and conditioning 😊
Love the colour of the pans. Those Ugg boots were a great buy.
How lovely was the Dad and the children in Sort Your Life Out last night. You all did such a great job. I’m sorry Dilly has been through all that. I just wanted to give her a great big hug.
Funny 😆 “ Last minute Larry” 🇬🇧
I was guessing Fendi but turns out to be Gucci. Great find!
25 £ not bad.
$ 441.00 cad. For like new dark blue version. Some go as high as $6k. Lucky. Have it refurbished. You may fetch a few grand.
A bag like that is so classic it doesn’t date ❤️
I love a good vintage bag. My Longchamp was $5.00 at a thrift shop here in the US. It currently sells in good condition for $120.00, mine is in excellent condition so I am over the moon happy! Same trip I got a vintage Coach leather belt for 29 cents!! They did not know what they had obviously. I feel sorry for your Gucci wedges, poor old things.
Oh goodness! Those espadrilles by Gucci are an absolute scream. When you described clomping about in them I really laughed. Stop the late night scrolling! But please keep the interesting videos coming. Love them ❤️
Hi lawn all you need is some saddle soap it will bring it up like new
Your Le Creuset pans are coated in enamel all over so you don't have to season them. Great buy.
So excited to see you on the BBC iPlayer Homepage today, Mr C! Congrats!!
Hi Mr C just catching up with this haul, thought Sort Your Life Out was excellent this week, very moving and please give Dilly a massive hug ,she's obviously had a tough time ❤. Also the espadrilles are horrible, possibly the worst item you've bought - let's hope they clean up well 😮
Great haul some lovely bargains, liked the le crueset pans, what a shame about the espadrilles they were awful xx
Loved the shirt (scarf one)
If you do decide to keep the espadrilles 😬: To clean white canvas shoes that are turning yellow: use a solution of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1/2 tablespoon each of hydrogen peroxide & water. Brush paste on canvas. Wait until dry to the touch. Wipe off dried paste & rinse in cool water. Air dry indoors. Failing that, get 'em back on Vinted pronto 😁
Try using oxyclean on the shoes to clean the stains then you could dye them grey or indigo.
Love you Mr. C
You should look to see if there is a steam train going from your area or if you are back in Scotland and have a meal on it.
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Love the frying pans, look forward to watching Sunday's blog,❤
Oh my! Those shoes were probably quite attractive in their day. I don’t know if you could recover them to their original look. I think they might just fall apart on your feet. The museum is a good idea😂
Hello love, the pans are beautiful and love your new uggs. What a shame about the white espadrilles, not very good. I bought some black ugg dupes from Primark to see if I would like them, as they are not really my style. But I fell in love with them. Fabulous so this year I'm going to treat myself to some real Uggs. So comfortable. Love your vlogs. I also feel the same about pockets. I like to have them.❤❤❤
Cooking oil and salt in frying ……..pan does the handle screw off-the-pan maybe🎉
If you have any face cream noir body cream that is other cheap or expired you can put on a cotton pad or soft cotton cloth and rub it into leather making sure it all goes in and there’s no residue. This rehydrates and revitalises the leather. The bag looks a little brittle from leather drying out
RE: cast iron pan...just cover the wood handle with aluminum foil or try to unscrew the handle ( turn the metal loop at the end) Good Luck!....Love these hauls Mr Carrington:)))
Hi Mr C, just a quick thought about the Gucci shoes, you could try sponge cleaning them with bicarb soda, it may lift the staining a little. If you can't get them clean then you could sponge dye them to cover the staining and cracks.
The gucci bag, after cleaning please make sure you replace the natural oils in the leather so it doesn't start to crack. 🤗 🤗 🤗
The espadrilles look as though they have been though the washing machine. Also look 1950s or 1960s
Hey Iwan! I believe that it was me that found the correct name of your 60’s Gucci bag. And it is called a frame style.
Thank you 🙏
@@MrCarrington I found it on a site called Poshmart. It sold for 330 dollars. I also found one on a Swedish auction site that sold for 200€
That type of bag is a timeless piece !! 👏👏👏👏 Even just to carry an iPhone , small iPad/ kindle , plus some needed everyday items would go great for any occasion . ❤😊❤😊
You’re such a lovely person, gentle soul like a good friend. The handbag needs some saddle soap to clean it and renovating cream with colour it will look like new then what a good find. Why did you buy the shoes with a wedge too ? No wonder you laughed bless you. Love the shirt.great pans and Ugg boots are my favourite ❤
Love your frying pan, but have to agree about those awful shoes😂.
I watched the new Sort your Life out, the family were lovely and those girls were just too cute, so glad ye were able to help them❤🇮🇪
I have these frying pans. You can prove them stove top. Heat them up till they are really hot. Turn the heat off and pour in a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Use a piece of kitchen roll to wipe the oil all over the black interior then leave to cool. I do mine every few times I wash it up. Fabulous pans lovely even high heat potential. 😘
Thanks I’ll try that 👍
I bet you can clean those shoes up quite nicely & maybe wear them on holiday. Those frying pans can you unscrew the handles off ? Love the shirt and the shacket.
The Uggs are fantastic- look virtually new!
Love the Gucci bag. You have some amazing finds🎉
Just wash the pans with mild soap and water, I just use a bit of oil on paper towel and wipe it all around the wipe it off after but I do not put my pan in oven to season, I just use it normally, then wash in hot water and wipe all oil out before hand. I’ve not had a problem as the pans season the more they are used. Using a lot of detergents is not always good for the interior finish.
I found that putting oil in the pan and then heating in oven makes the oil gummy no matter how little. That’s been my experience. Hope this helps Iwan.
Very sorry about your kitchen too and hope once and for all the leak and all is taken care of soon. ❤❤❤
Fabulous Sort Your Life Out last night amazing so deserving family...can't wait for Sunday vlog with your house updates 😃😃😃
Those Gucci shoes could do with being returned to the seller or as you suggested selling on. Loved the Ugg boots though❤. Pats for the cats. I hope all the work is finished soon and you can enjoy the refurb. Xxx
That bag's beautiful like you are😁
Hi Iwan beautiful bag❤, please show us how it turns out. I liked all your other finds, EXCEPT the espadrilles, a big disappointment 😢. Something similar happened to me with a pair of brogues I purchased online. No more Vinted shopping late at night 😂. Take care Gale x
