Hi I bought this coach soho double pocket tote online recently (second hand)! It’s the smaller version.

Tbh I can’t tell if the seller restored it before selling to me or not, but in person it looks a little worn out and I was wondering what I can do to make it look better. I did some research and usually leather conditioner, saddle soap and horse brush is used? Can I use them for this bag? What else do I need?

Is it possible to fix the silver hardware? its very faded and a little rusty. What do I need to use?

Pls help me 🙏😣 I’m new to this and I’m afraid of ruining it hence this post. Thank you in advance.

Edit: If it helps, I think this is soft pebbled leather based on what google told me and the bag is 8A09 (i think) Hardware is probably nickel.

Hi! im new to collecting vintage bags and this is my first purchase, I bought it online through a third party.

The bag looks really old in person. How do I make it look brand new? The silver parts are faded, leather looks worn out? (Sorry idk how to describe it) The appearance of the front pockets and straps is bothering me, is it possible to fix it?

I’d appreciate all the help I can get!!! Thank you.
