I'd love to see a nubuc rehab video! Do you have any tips for cleaning? I just picked up a chocolate 4952 after falling in love with a full grain pebbled Sonoma bag. It's the piping supposed to be a little smoother or shinier? Thank you for the videos!
@@sthomas3382 depends on what you are dealing with. Always start with brushing this leather with a soft horse hair brush and then you can move onto a suede brush. Add a suede eraser if necessary to spot clean. If the bag is filthy I recommend using a suede/Nubuc leather cleaner specifically to clean deeply.
Hello! Yes, thanks for asking! The only one that I have available that is similar to this video is a brown Nubuc ‘Medium’ Helen’s Legacy. I do have some other Sonoma items available and you can search in my closet for Sonoma to find them ;) posh.mk/cNvG7NfDMDb
I forgot to ask, were the Sonoma line ever counterfeited? I’ve seen many different creeds out there- particularly for the 4933 small bucket. Some say made in Italy. Some say made of nubuc cowhide and I even seen one that doesn’t say nubuc at all! Just wondering if these were faked or not
There are counterfeit Sonoma bags. My most recent video shows one actually. I don’t see counterfeits in this line often though. The lining is usually wrong as well as hardware. I mention this because there are a decent amount of authentic creed ‘errors’ & mishaps from both Italy & Costa Rica across the board and you really can’t rely on one piece of info to make the determination. Sonoma bags were only made in Italy, Costa Rica & the United States.
Loving your work - Can you help me to find a Coach Court in Mahogany - I'm in New Zealand and really struggling to find anything that is not stupidly priced. Hope you can help
I absolutely love your videos! Very informative. Much appreciated 😊
I have a small pebbled sonoma pebbled bucket bag - it’s not in perfect shape but I love it !
I want your green dinosaur!!!!!
I love the #4905! 🖤
I'm trying to get an idea of Helen's legacy vs XL duffle sac. Your fav green Sonoma, is it Helen's legacy or XL?
It’s the ‘XL’ which technically is just called a Duffle Sac but yes, on the resell sights, a lot of people refer to it as the XL😉
@@birdybloom2thank you!

Yes the piping is a bit different but not glovetanned. I treat it like Nubuc still
@@birdybloom2. Thanks for this video. Do you have any thoughts about cleaning the Sonoma and Sonoma Nubuc vintage bags? Thanks again.

You mention in this video that some of these will be for sale. Are they sold? Thanks

What is your limit? Any idea how much it costs to ship from US to New Zealand?
@@birdybloom2 US$ 85 - it’s about US$35 to ship 🤞
@@mjoyem that is so much for shipping! Are you willing to rehab it yourself?
@@birdybloom2 yes I do want to rehab it myself and I’d prefer to pay less - do you think my budget is realistic?
@@mjoyem yes! Email me a birdybloom_rehab@yahoo.com that way I can share with you when I find something ;)
