BEFORE & AFTER HANDBAG REHAB! VINTAGE COACH BAG... IT WAS COVERED IN MOLD đ€ą
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 23. 07. 2024
- This is a bit of a long one, so grab a drink, grab a snack, or grab an an old vintage Coach bag that needs some TLC and follow along! This was the first time I've ever filmed a project like this, so I was a bit nervous but I tried my best. I'd really appreciate you letting me know what you thought of the format (and if you liked this type of video at all). Would you like a rehab video of a Louis Vuitton bag?
If this got you interested in doing your own rehab job, I'd love it if you shared what it's going to be!

Welcome to ClassicswithaQuirk! I love not only talking about luxury (mostly bags, SLGs, and fragrances), but discussing more about the companies that make luxury goods and the materials and quality of their items. Here we discuss brands like Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Fendi, Loewe, Delvaux, Versace, and more. I also enjoy Coach bags (especially vintage Coach) and doing bag rehabs, and searching out preloved luxury. Once in a while I do travel vlogs and vlogs about TJ Maxx finds as well, so there's a lot of fun variety. I hope you enjoy your time here đ

When I store my Coach handbags I put a fabric softener sheet in them . They always smell so nice . I like using a sponge to put conditioner on my bags . Then i polish them with a microfiber cloth . It works really well . I also keep my bags stuffed for them to keep there shape . My bags look brand new and some are very old . This procedure works really well for me .
Back in the 90s I worked in a department store and I sold bags, many different labels, Coach was the most popular, I remember the vendor for Dooney and Burke came to demonstrate the durability of their bags, basically he had a bucket of water and submerged the bag!!! Just wanted to say you did a great job and the bag came out beautiful! Sometimes people wanted perfection when shopping for a bag and really is impossible
D&B are SO durable. I'm not a huge fan of their styles otherwise I would have several I'm sure đ thank you so much for watching!
OMG, THANK YOU!!!!!! I have a vintage Coach bag fetish, or I did before I became disabled and could afford it. I finally got 4 of my bags bag from my ex - ALL COVERED IN MOLD!!! I cried for weeks, then just kept them in a cardboard box in my shed. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. I had no idea this was even possible. You have just, single handedly, saved me from years of depression and many more nights of uncontrollable tears. I am going to purchase the same leather conditioner you use, and then I'm going to get to work. As a side note, I also got all of my clothes back in the same condition. I have spent weeks soaking them in vinegar, then washing in just vinegar, another wash in just baking soda, and a final wash with Tide pods and Borax. My water and electricity bills are through the roof, but I'm able to salvage 99% all of the clothes I own. My collection of shoes is in the same condition. Do you think I can salvage those in the same way as the purses? They are also in the shed in cardboard boxes. I think it probably wouldn't hurt to try since they're not wearable at this point. Again, THANK YOU!!!!! You're my new hero đ
I am so sorry to just be getting to this!! I thought I had answered you but CZcams says I didn't? I'm so happy to hear that my video was helpful. Were you able to tackle your bags? How did they come out.
As for shoes (again, I'm sorry this is so late) if they are moldy I don't know if I would soak them, but you can make a mixture of 1 part vinegar 2 parts water in a spray bottle and dose your shoes. Let it dry in the sun for a few days, then wipe them down again with that mixture. It should help
@@classicswithaquirk Well, I just now ordered a bottle of CPR. Amazon sold out & only had the small version and so did Wal-Mart. I've been waiting all this time & it finally dawned on me to see if they had a website & they do!! I actually ordered it Saturday. Here's the thing; because of this video & this video alone, I'm going to be flipping purses that are high-end & in need of restoration. I have to raise money for co-pays on some surgeries coming up. So thank you so very much for sharing this!! I already have pile of purses, lol! I'll take before & after pics if you'd like to see them. Please keep me in your prayers, one of the surgeries pretty rough.
Good luck and good health to you!!
I really love *esluxy* bags. The fabric is very good. The golden embellishments add a touch of beauty. When I went to the church, I received some praise.
What did you use to clean the mold. I once had a stroller that the fabric got moldy in the garage, and it never cleaned, it stayed with many blaâck dots forever Hopefully your surgeries went well.@@daddysgirl935
For the odor you might try putting a fridge box of baking soda inside bag for a day or two!
Great job! Looks much better!
Yes, baking soda is one of my methods! I also use charcoal packets.
Such GREAT comparisons! Allllll soooo lovely! Especially the *esluxy* tote. Their styles are so chic, sleek, elegant and understated!
I fell into an obsession with Coach and want to rehab and rehome the cheap bags I keep finding. This is great đ
Great Video. I just bought my 1st vintage coach bag so ill be restoring my 1st bag. Thx for all the tips and details â€
What a beautiful bag! Great job! Thank you for restoring it!
đđđ thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this video! It was thrilling to see the bag transform. BEAUTIFUL! You've taught so much and I'm looking forward to giving some of my dry ol' leather bags a GLAM UP, thanks to your knowledge. YOU ROCK!
This is so interesting! I haven't done this before and I learned so much from your process!
Thank you for watching!
Just ran across your video today. Last week, I restored a coach bag and I did the same thing you did by soaking my bag in warm water and dawn. I am happy to know I did not screw up. Thanks.
I use hotter water and shampoo to clean up my vintage handbags. I also dry them with a small fan and rotate until it is completely dry. I only use Coach products on Coach handbags. I tried other leather cleaning/moisturizing items and I found them to leave residues that became whitish over time. When the handbag is very old I use Sweet Pea by B and BW. I use that only on the suede inner side. It does not damage the rehab in anyway and it a pleasant enough scent each time you open a handbag. I have rehabbed about 15 to 20 vintage Coach handbags this way. Loved your video.
Wow! Amazing transformation! I love backpacks & this is absolutely gorgeous!
I had no idea you could soak a leather bag. Impressive restoration!
Love this vid! Getting my chops up to be a handbag reseller. Thank you for your experience and insight.
You should ALWAYS clean mold with vinegar when it comes to old Coach aniline leather!!!! Vinegar actually KILL the spores otherwise you will have a moldy bag even if you cannot see it
Love the bag!! Thanks for this informative video!!
Itâs so beautiful now! Thanks for taking us through the whole process. I use similar methods to rehab old Coach bags, and thankfully havenât had to encounter mold. The vinegar was a great tip!
Thank you so much for watching! âșïžâșïžâșïž
I have a large vintage Coach collection and loved this video. I think itâs time i rehab some of my bags. I also have Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags that are vintage so i would love to see your rehab videos on other brands.
Thank you so much for watching! I do plan to do more âșïž
Thankyou for another brilliantly presented and informative video x
Thank you so much, June!
Purse Forum dunker here. Happy to see you. I've had decent luck with adding vinegar to the dawn to help with mold. Also your conditioning technique is good. Less waiste for the Leather CPR on the buffing towel.
Thank you!!
Beautiful bag! Thank you for the strep by step process!
Thank you so much for watching! đ„°
That's good to know if I ever decide to get a poor, beaten up bag, thank you for showing the process!
And that dinosaur sweatshirt is FIRE! I wouldn't expect a cool pattern like this to come in an adult size!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you like my sweater đđŠđŠ
I like your lighting. Great video, very informative and motivating. Lovely bag, especially after your expert treatment.
Thank you for making this video đ You offered good explanations of your process.
Thanks for the solid restoration information! I purchased a vintage coach at an estate sale for $4 so Iâve been searching on how to restore it! TYVM
I absolutely loved this video, thank you. You certainly know your stuff....đ
Thank you!
I have a small name brand bag that is moldy. I am going to attempt to recondition it using the method you explained.
I'm excited to think I can use it again.
TYVM for showing us the process in restoring your back pack.â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
i am a collector of vintage bags too and this coach came out beuatiful
Thank you so much!
This bag turned out quite nice, it's still such a pretty color. I'd love to see a rehab of a vintage LV bag!
Thank you so much âșïž
This is such a helpful video, thank you!
great job! This was a really informative and fun video to watch :]
Thank you! I'm so glad đ
Great job! Thanks for sharing your process.
Thank you so much!
The dark spots adds too the charm just beautiful i was mesmerised watching the process. What a lovely gift to a loved one because you put so much love into it . Mind you it looks beautiful on you really enjoyed this vlog đđđxxxx cat are so funny and very norsey .my cats understand everything that i say đxx
đ„°đ„°đ„°
As another poster said you need to add vinegar to the water. Mold spores don't disappear because you scrub them they lay dormant. Vinegar will get rid of them. I followed a few different rehabbers that say that is an absolute must step.
I have seen on builders groups that vinegar doesn't kill mould at all......
This was a very informative, video. The bag looks amazing for its age đ!
Thank you!
I would leave the bag out to dry for at least 2 days, before conditioning it. And use a very soft brush, toothbrush, to scrub it during the initial bath
Thank you so very much. Excellent tutorial, and so encouraging to know that beautiful things that have been neglected, are not beyond being saved, with love and patient doctoringđ€. Would love to know the value of that bag after this rehab!
I like the new color after you cleaned n conditioned it. Great job đ
I wish I'd "known you" in the 1980's when I had to throw out a Hartmann suitcase and carry-on because they reeked of mold and nothing I did would get rid of it.
I have this very bag from +/- 2000 -- I'm so pleased that I now know how to bring it back to life -- thank you.
I hope you're able to breathe life back into your bag!
Thanks for the excellent detailed video. I have an older beautiful leather laptop/briefcase bag with a lot of mildew and loss of shape. I'm going to try your method and follow all the steps and see how it works.
Please let me know how it goes!
That is a beautiful bag... Great job â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Thank you so much!
That's a great backpack đ€ we want to see more vintage bags
đđđ
Oooooooooh my God thank you for this video! This bag, holy crap she's glorious. EPIC! I just got a leather backpack that's old and awesome but kinda sad and I want to fix it but I don't want to wreck it soooo. Thanks so much for the information! Also, your dinosaur shirt is life.
Thank you so much for watching! Iâm glad the video was helpful đ
And Iâm glad you like my dinosaur shirt! đŠ
YOur filmming is great, and the bag came out amazing
Thank you so much!
Great job looks great and the quality of the older bags đŒ I have washed a vintage bag in the washer with icy clean then fried and conditioned.
Thank you so much! I've heard of using the washing machine before, I'm not that brave yet đ
Wow! Amazing rehab!
If you cover your bag with a plate in the bath it will help weigh it down so it is completely submerged. You can also put a plate inside the bag if that helps further.
Use dryer sheets for smells in the bags it works well.
Bravo!!! Great job!! Thank you for sharing
Great video!!
Most good leather conditioners only have a minuscule amount of silicone and itâs used as a lubricant. It doesnât create an impermeable layer at all. Iâve completed an advanced leather care course and this subject causes debate but is often misreported. I like Bick 4 which has less than 0.% silicone. The most damage is done by over application and failure to remove excess conditioner,and failure to buff from seams and grain.
Personally I wouldnât use vinegar on any bag I cared about. I use a proper leather mould treatment created especially for this purpose. Itâs a spray which you can put directly on the mould patches and can be used on dry leather on its own or before or after dunking. As I have asthma and also have a grandchild who is often around my bags, I am very careful that any bag I renovate is completely free of mould but is also treated without damaging the structure of the leather. The other advantage of the product I use is that to completely eradicates any lingering odour.
Just my opinion from the renovation course I have taken.
Iâve been using vinegar for years as part of mold or odor treatments with no ill effects, but I also would only ever use it on a vintage coach full-leather bag. But I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience!
Could you specify which mold spray you use?âŠJust curious!
@@mslizzardroscoe9051 There are several options online. You may try a spray called Concrobium Mold Control. Another from Leather Doctor website is their Leather Mold Killer 3.6 spray which you add distilled water to mix with before use.
We need names of the products you use for mould. Good info.
How do you wash suede? Do you have any good products for it?
I just picked up a twin to your bag but not so moldy! Thanks for sharing because I was scared to do this on a red bag!!
You're welcome! I hope it comes out beautifully!
So excellent, thank you!
Just did a reconditioning on a Legacy Coach bag and did not do a full bath. I did however use Saddlesoap and a horsehair brush and lightly scrubbed the whole bag down section by section. Then i used a microfiber damp cloth and wiped down each section. Then the entire bag dry. I usually finish with a leather conditioner which I buff into the leather. None of my bags were moldy so did not need the vinegar. But that is definitely a good tip to know. đđŒ
wow! that leather bag looks pretty now! đ
Thank you!
You did an outstanding job! Perseverance produced a good looking Coach bag. Love it!
I have a Coach bag, that unfortunately got the outside bottom light tan leather drawn by pen [black ink]. After giving it a bath, I don't know if/what product to use on that specific area. Should I restain it with a darker color? I welcome your advice.
Yay going to try this, thank you!
Please tell me how it goes!
Itâs a really cute bagâŠ.I wear only Dooney and BourkeâŠ.but would definitely spot this! Cute cute cute đ„°
đđđQurkie you done an amazing job I didn't know you conditioned bag .What a beautiful job you have done .I loved this vlog you breathed a whole new life into this bag and i love that just brilliant well doneđđđxxđxx
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful! Great info!
Thank you so much!
I loved your video! I am going to try it with my leather bags. An idea for you,, Iâd like to see your collection of bags and hear how you care for them .
Thanks again!
Thank you for watching! I do have to do a bag video one of these days đ
Great finish results!!!! Wow impressive
Thank you!!
Really enjoyed this video. I have several bags that need this. What do you think about borax for mold ???
it was my understanding that if the bag has surface mildew it can be removed. If mold below the surface, cleaning will only remove the surface mold and probably if it still smells it's because there is still mold present inside the leather which cannot be removed. One episode of high humidity or moisture and mold spores would regrow. If mold was truly fully removed the smell wouldn't still be there. For health reasons, it would concern me. I had to throw out a Coach briefcase once due to it being on the floor when a pipe burst and we didn't know on that level of the house. It was bad and I could have gotten off the surface spores but I knew inside the leather it would not come out.
I completely agree. I worked for goodwill e-commerce we had to destroy anything with mold damage due to liability issues.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your effort.
Thanks. I have a couple of 1990's Coach bags that need help. I will use your technique.
I hope it works out!!
Ozone would definitely resolve any lingering odors in a few hours (put in a room with ozone generator and close the door).
Wow!! This turned out well!! I enjoyed watching the process. I would love to see how you clean and condition Louis Vuitton bags. I'm looking at some on eBay. That video was very helpful also. âșâșâșâșâșâșâșâșđđđđ
Thank you so much! I'm so glad. I'm definitely planning to do an LV one too.
Well worth all the work. Great job! What do think about leaving bags or clothing in sun (rotating it of course) to rid the moldy smell?
Thank you so much! The sun method is a good one, and I did use it for this backpack đ
Thank you , love your videos
Once found a large Marino Orlandi leather duffel bag with shoulder strap and that thing was covered in green grayish mold.Smelled horrible but i rehabbed it over several days and man it came out beautifully.Lining was mint not even dirty.Sold it and I kind of regretted it ever since.Beautiful honey brown caramel color.
I know I'm late to this video but well done (insert applause track here).
Omg! I never knew about silicone. Ive been using a leather conditioner with silicone⊠time to switch! Good thing I only used it once or twice on leather shoes & on one bag lol
U may paint characters on the purse⊠thatâs the new thingâŠ
LOVE THIS! I have dyied a Chloe and Mulberry bag and it it so much fun. Please please make more of these restore/colour handbag videos†The Mulberry bag i colored (from light oxblood to dark brown) I experienced the bag to be more stiff. The bag had a pretty soft leather before coloring. Is it possible to color or recolor a Chanel lambskin bag? Xxx Marit
Thank you so much! It is possible to recolor Chanel lambskin; bags can be dyed darker colors, or painted brighter colors. but it does usually change the texture of the bag.
Amazing video!!!!
Thank you! It was an interesting endeavor filming it all đ
Wow what a transformation.. So drying.. do you use a fan, heat or just leave in a room at room temperature? Thanks
Well done!
Just came across your video. Awesome job. I have a wide collection of bags including coach and kors and a few other designers. No Vuitton, Chanel but I luv styles of bags not so into names in bags. I would think ordinary leather can b done with this method and remembering no silicone in the conditioner. Thanks for the video.
Wow, it looks great
Sent before I could finish my comments! I learned so much and appreciate the time and love you put into this process and video. I had several bags of my own that had gotten moldy from improper storage and the leather center I researched wanted $240 per bag to clean so Iâm going to try and experiment with these techniques. Do you think its ok to submerge a leather bag with a liner ? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! Depending on the liner it could be okay. A fabric liner vs a plastic liner might make a difference, as water could seep underneath the plastic and not drain out or dry, prompting more mold growth. But if the bags are already moldy, you donât have a lot to lose with experimenting!
Looks fabulous! How would you attempt to remove a dark stain of unknown origin? Any tips? Thanks!
I am also looking for answers on this! I have a red 9061 rambler with a bad stain on the front!
The result is beautiful.
Thank you!
Thank you for tips with mold and mildew.
Youâre welcome! I hope theyâre helpful.
Very informative and interesting! Thank you for sharing your process. Do you resell the bags you rehab? Just curious. Would also be interested to see your rehab process for LV and Chanel bags. Thank you!
Thank you! I have sold a few of them before, because sometimes it's the rehab that's the fun part and I don't need a million bags đ
@@classicswithaquirk Makes sense! And I can appreciate the challenge of restoring the bag being the fun part. Take care!
Excellent video!!!!!!
Thank you!!
It looks so beautiful now.
Thank you!
Nice job!!
Thank you!
So very informative.
UM yes I love the dinosaur sweater! I loved your video and I watch the whole thing. I have a question about a vintage brio bag that has the wrinkly looking leather and itâs got a stain on it and Iâm trying to get it out. Any idea? Please let me know. Thank you.
Wow love this video ! I Thank you đ
âșïžâșïžâșïž
very informative, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
LOL your cat at the end... My cat loves to get inside the Bags I am restoring 12 months of age he manage to fit inside a Louis Vuitton Alma, took a photo very cute... Yes that bag looks beautiful I'm still battling through trying to re-dye the suede and Gucci backpack finding the dye colour is very uneven if you have any hints let me know should I apply it when it is dry or damp?.. Anyhow thanks for your videos they're great
You did an amazing job
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you. How do I clean discolored buckles?
I use a mixture of two parts water to one part white vinegar!
Found an old Bonnie Cashin swing bag at thriftshop. Smells musty but not moldy. Do you think washing is necessary? Also have a Macasa lambskin hobo bag that is a stinker but getting better with time. My question-- can I safely wash lambskin? Very thin and soft. Thanks.
Wasged my moldy coach with vinegar water and 40 mule team borax. Came out great.
Thank you !đđđđ
i was wondering if you've ever tried saddle soap for cleaning leather bags and if so what happened.
