Quick comment about brass pieces that have sealer on it. You can take it off with a lacquer remover or acetone. It would save you a lot of time scrubbing and it wouldn't leave any scratches
I’m new to vintage coach and you are one of my favorite people to watch. I’ve learned so much from you! I ordered a cute little pink make up bag from you yesterday.( I love pink). It’s trimmed in gold and I’m not sure how to clean it up a little. If you have any tips please share. It wasn’t an expensive piece but I plan on keeping it for myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 💜.
Labour of love❤🎉 I just bought preloved Fletcher, I believe. The inside plastic zipper is not moving freely, do you have any tricks or tips to improve it. I will be washing the whole bag- donking, because it is very dirty in one spot inside. I need to buy some brasso too. I am excited to work on it🎉I have few Coach bags already and I love them all.
Sorry for the late reply but you my have a zipper tooth out of alignment (look closely) but another option is taking wax paper and rubbing it along the zipper teeth, move the zipper and keep repeating;)
I have a Roll Bag in British tan that I’m restoring and bought replacement spring lock ! Hopefully this video helps ! I’ll share it to your Facebook group when it’s done 😊
I use thin pliers in bags that are a bit more difficult. You really are just starting at the bottom of the prongs to tighten them together then I typically Finnish with a pressing method. I have had to only replace one turnlock and I sacrificed another bag in poor condition for its turnlock. I prefer using original hardware.
@@birdybloom2 Thank you! Ordered some turn locks from the the Buckle Guys. I have a Stewardess bag with a really wobbly turn lock. I haven't been doing this long enough to have a sacrificial bag yet lol!

I just picked up a patrica legacy with brass hardware- did they make them with brass hardware or only nickle?
Both
Have you ever had to replace a turn lock. If so what did you use. Also putting those turn locks back on is hard!
