Polish metal accents like zips or buckles with metal polish and a dry microfiber cloth. Keep the polish off the bag’s fabric to prevent staining.

How to fix a scratched leather Coach bag?
To fix light scratches on leather, use leather oil or conditioner, such as Chamberlain’s Leather Milk Conditioner and Cleaner or Leather Nova Conditioner and Cleaner, and apply it to the affected area with a soft cloth. Allow the area to dry completely and apply leather conditioner to maintain a good level of oil and wax. Vaseline is also a good option for light scratches, but always remove excess oil and conditioner after treatment.
For deeper scratches, use leather cleaner, such as Chamberlain’s Leather Milk Conditioner and Cleaner or Leather Nova Conditioner and Cleaner, and dab the scratched area with distilled white vinegar. Once dry, apply colorless shoe polish to blend the area. If the scratch remains visible, try rubbing olive oil and more colorless shoe polish.
David Mesquita, VP at Leather Spa, advises addressing scratches quickly to avoid permanent damage. They offer a Perfect Gel for removing scuffs and stains but can also work for scratches. Rub a bit on the affected area in a circular motion with a dry cloth. For a quick fix, use petroleum jelly on the scratch, which will absorb by the leather and give the desired result.

How can I clean my bag without washing it?
To clean your backpack, start by shaking out the bag to remove loose dust, dirt, and crumbs. If you have a large, clean, soft bristle brush, gently brush the outside of the bag to remove dust and dirt. If you don’t have a brush, dust it off with a towel. Open your bag and pockets fully, and if it doesn’t, turn the bag inside out. Run an old toothbrush along the seams and use it to get into the corners of the pockets to remove loose debris. If you don’t have a spare soft-bristle toothbrush, a towel wrapped around your finger can do the job.
To clean the zippers on your backpack, run your toothbrush along them to dislodge grit and sand. Minaal backpacks have concealed zippers that protect them from abrasion and elements, ensuring smoothness for their maximum lifespan.

📹 BEFORE & AFTER HANDBAG REHAB Vintage COACH City Bag 9097 Restoration
From Coach: “This vintage Pocket Purse is a beloved Coach silhouette first introduced in 1986.” And WOW did it need some work!
I absolutely LOVE the vintage Coach bags. They’re so elegant and timeless, and they were built to last. I’m so glad you put in the time to restore this timeless classic. I wish that Coach went back to that for their handbags instead of trying to be trendy. The quality of their modern bags are not the same as their vintage bags.
Great article! Just a few observations regarding a potential rehab bag. This bag was a perfect rehab candidate, being in excellent condition in several important ways. One is that the stitching was completely tight. There were no loose or broken stitches. Another is the piping was not especially worn. It’s not unusual for vintage Coach bags to have piping that is worn completely through, especially in vulnerable areas. Some of the bags are constructed to stand up on their own (this one is not) so the bottom piping would tend to be worn. This bag also didn’t have any stains that had to be removed. That has always been my biggest problem. I’ve never been able to do that. This makes me want to try another one. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this article! I followed your steps and was able to save my favorite leather satchel that I had stopped using because it was so scratched up. I kept it in the back of my closet for years because I just couldn’t bear to throw it away. So glad I kept it and saw your article! One question. Does the new stain ever rub off onto clothing?
Thank you, this is a great article and gave me the courage to deep clean all my leather Coach purses. It will make me spot clean them every time I put them away going forward. For cleaning the brass and stitching, I used two toothbrushes and Wenol for brass and the cleaning solution for stitching. Any other ideas?
You inspired me to look for a City Bag myself and clean/restore it. I found one that was in pretty good condition, I didn’t need to do too much but a cleaning and conditioning. However, not knowing what this bag held, I decided to wash it fully like you did here. I used Lexol Leather cleaner instead of Dawn. MAN, was it gross – while the bag looked decent enough, what came out in the wash was a heavy brownish pinkish fluid. It took me 7 – 8 rinses to get it to run clear. It’s drying on my deck (out of sunlight) now with towels stuff in there to soak up the moisture. Thank you for making these articles, so nice to learn how to restore a nice leather piece.
First, let me say thank you for this article. You did an amazing job with that bag; very impressive. The no-talking instructional articles drive me crazy. But if you are not going to talk it would be helpful to have more subtitled information and perhaps, a summary at the end. Maybe the horsehair brush was the first thing you used. Maybe you didn’t show yourself using the Brasso????
This entire process is completely wrong. You should never soak your leather up in dish soap water. Just don’t guys. Instead of this use some saddle soap or cleaning solution for leather. Don’t you ever use colored shoe polish cream to dye your leather. You end up with finding out that your bag leave color marks on your clothes. Pick up some leather dye and dye your piece properly, let it dry and work out the surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove some excess pigment. Then apply some balm/cream/oil on the leather to moisturize it, bring back elasticity and natural supple feel to it.
My first Coach purse was this exact style but in brown. I bought it at a thrift store for $5 21 years ago when I had no idea what Coach was. A few years later began my collection. At one point I owned about 60 Coach bags & matching wallets. 6 years ago I sold most of them and went with Pacsafe bags & wallets. I care more now about protecting what’s inside my bag rather than carrying a flashy status symbol. Still though, I kept a few Coach sets as they are my favorites.
I can’t believe you actually scrubbed it with dish soap 😆 slaps forehead For dirt, wipe down leather with warm damp cloth, for touching up scuffs, leather polish, for softening leather conditioner, and finally protecting it with a layer of oil, coconut oil is probably the best natural way, but any leather oil, will waterproof it and keep it soft. Also some waxes are good for coating it. Practice makes perfect
D U P B A G Y :yt:as my travel bag that I don’t have to take care of. By the way, I’m sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I’ll be happy that I have the:yt:
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials – brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one :yt:HIDUPZ:yt: Backpack Replica – also works for Compare – I can’t find any difference and still use it for the gym
I just got a vintage Coach in purple, it was my Godmother’s… the leather still have the lovely smell but it’s stained with little white dots and seems the colour is fading… the straps and all steel parts are still lovely tho… the leather is that one type not so smooth… Do you think I can do it same technique with it? Thank you so much!
Cant stress this enough; don NOT use dish soap to clean leather, ever! Please dont copy this if you watch this article… there is soaps that is made spesifically for leather that dont ruin it. Saddle soap! If this was done on a higher end bag, chanses for having to replace it due to malpractice is high.
Hi Lyssa, i just found your website because i have a vintage leather bag that became mouldy. After some poor treatment trying to eradicate the mould, it’s become very dry. I used a leather conditioner (i see how a brush can help buff it in) but I’m wonder what you suggest to use in the inside where the leather is a nubuck leather?
Whats the reasoning behind using the saphir products? Are they non toxic for the skin? Do they go well with vintage coach leathers compared to other products? I want to know how to proceed because my vintage coach needs a bit of color but the products I have will seal it, and it feels like its the wrong approach for this particular leather? I have washed it and conditioned it but the faded color, especially on the sides of the bag and strap, annoys me.
Wow what a restoration! Can someone tell me what the orginal color was? On my screen it looks dark brown, very faded black or even kinda gray… I am trying to tell if the color was changed to black? I have never heard of Saphir Medaille d’Or Renovator but it is a very highly rated product line so I am eager to try it. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make and post this article, I have to watch all the other articles now! Well done!!!
What I do to conditioned leather patent leather that is you don’t want to try this on suede is use palmer’s cocoa butter hand lotion and work it into the leather it absorbs pretty quickly repeat that process if need be I just massage it in with my fingers/hands then after the cocoa butter lotion soaks in I repeat the process with murray’s beeswax it’s actually a petroleum-based hair product but it works fantastic at conditioning and protecting patent leather
I don’t see how you can do that to a purse amazing 😻 wow I’d be afraid to put my bag in water 💧 I would never have the patience to do what you did with that beautiful bag ty so much for sharing but I could never restore the vintage bags mine are from the 80s in excellent condition!!!!!!!!!!love!!!!!your work!
You did a great job! Most would’ve done the harware first in case product gets on the leather or completely change the hardware. Your bag looks great! I’ve learned that after painting a bag its gotta be sealed with sealer which is not good because it coats the leather pores and leather needs to breathe. I just dye my bags after dunking. Are you interested in selling?
Yo visito los tíangis y me encuentro tesoros escondidos encontré esa bolsa igualita couch de cuero en café es un poco más grande que esa yo la limpie la se pille x dentro y por fuera solo le puse crema si le falta una maqillada la tengo con ropa para este bonita y me costó $ 40 pesos mexicanos 4 dolares
I used to think that owning a luxury bag was an unattainable dream, until :yt: D U P B A G Y:yt: told me that this dream is actually very close. The sense of fashion comes not only from the brand, but also from personal matching and attitude.I used to think that owning a luxury bag was an unattainable dream, until :yt: D U P B A G Y:yt: told me that this dream is actually very close.

That’s renovation, not restoration. Don’t wash with dishwasher please, take fifty fifty white vinegar/lukewarm water, and go gently! Don’t put it in water, that will change the leather, you can make an aloe vera mask, as for yourself. If you have to paint it, look for natural pigments, as for your hairs, like walnutskin. And finally, just give it some vegetal oil, like linenseed, or calendula… If the bag is stained, look for some special earth and be patient.
