Hello all! I recently, and accidentally, won an auction for a vintage Celine tote bag. It was a live online auction and the auctioneer did not show the flaws on the bag. If he had, I wouldn’t have bid on it because I have never really owned a luxury leather bag and I didn’t know how to protect one…so I certainly had no idea how restore or repair one.
Since receiving the bag, I have been watching tutorials on cleaning and conditioning leather bags and researching repairs. That’s how I found this forum! It looks like an amazing and exciting library of information.
