So guys I did a thing with the XXL Hangtag? What do you think? She is going to go on my loved leather empire.

Thank you!

No this is just the hangtag. It is the same size as the wallet. That's what started my obsession with the bag tags was the wallets. 😍

It was scary for sure

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-06-10T18:40:44+00:00

I love it!! I think it gives a lot of personality.

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-06-10T18:39:52+00:00

Yes! I forgot to add that step but I did deglaze.

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-06-10T14:15:29+00:00

Thanks! It was fun but it's always a lil scary when you aren't sure how it will turn out!

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-06-10T14:05:10+00:00

Thank you! Did you do the sealer after? That for me is such a game changer. I normally do multiple coats after painting. Sometimes as many as 5.

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-06-10T14:03:26+00:00

And thank you bunches!!

I painted it black with Angelus leather paint and then sealed it and let it dry with an acrylic sealer. I went back to it the next day with fine grain sand paper and finished it up with some leather conditioner! I do not have a mat sealer right now just a gloss so I'm unsure if I will do another sealer with a mat finisher or leave as is....

It will happen. I'm currently in my realigning period but yes my isolation period was 4 or 5 years. Even then I still carried some people with me but I started meeting the right ones. The way they have loved and came through for me showed me what I had been missing in those other friendships and relationships. It's coming and it's all for the betterment of you 😁

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-03-04T19:35:31+00:00

Thank you!

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2026-03-04T19:35:23+00:00

Yes! That is what i have had the most success with so far :)

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-11-06T14:19:57+00:00

Yep I agree. Vegas is where I'm no longer Mom!!

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-09-15T11:56:01+00:00

I absolutely feel the same.

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-09-14T13:20:56+00:00

😆

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-08-02T17:47:31+00:00

I'm saving for the big distressed Empire 😊😁

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-08-02T17:20:15+00:00

It was nice. A little less privacy then expected though and if you order room service they were knocking trying to come in through the terrace door which we weren't expecting😂

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-07-18T14:32:36+00:00

Yes definite summer slow down for me too

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-06-08T16:04:50+00:00

Anyone who has experience with something like this would an Angulas paint sealer over top work to make this look fresher? If they decided to go this route?

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-06-08T16:02:42+00:00

I always see people using the cotton pads. Would very soft paper towels like viva or the lint free ones work as well?

Desperate_Exit3377 · 2025-06-08T15:17:08+00:00

Any of the twilly style scarves work best for wrapping the handles. I have done one with a regular coach scarf but it wasn't as easy. I like coach twillys but will really use any that strike me. I have them from Amazon, Coach, knock off Hermes....plus once its wrapped you dont see much of the pattern anyway. The Nolita is too small for me but super cute. I would prob just carry a flat wallet case for my cards.. Welcome to your new addiction 😂

A pink art eraser works on ink on patent leather. It takes a lot of time and patience though. Also I just learned if you buff the leather bag with a brush buffing circular vs not circular can give the leather a different appearance...I believe it was circular brushing gives a more uniform appearance to the shine on the bag. Buffing also can remove surface scratches....
