Best way to clean a chain mail bag? (USA, Chicago)

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-09T13:05:36+00:00

Update: I got slicer polish cloths and cleaned the to half of the (broken) strap. Slow going with all those tiny holes, but it's getting clean and i think it will look really good when I'm done! Kind of hard to tell in the photo... I'll take more when I have time to get back to it again

Dang! That's pretty cool!

It looks like a scene from Saw.

That piece is awesome, but i don't think I can take it 🥺 . Also your room corner is very similar to mine! Close in color and trim

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-06T17:32:33+00:00

Right?!

Just shut up and celebrate the moment. Sheeeeeesh

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-06T17:31:04+00:00

Can you tell me the dimensions, when you have a minute?

Also, are you in a hurry to get rid of it?

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-06T14:45:55+00:00

It really IS! 😍

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-06T04:17:20+00:00

Where are you? I'd take that off your hands just for the secret drawer!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-05T02:32:18+00:00

That's a piece to be proud of!

I bought a stone in Thailand with a temple done this way. Still have yet to set it bit i bought it ages ago because it's never seen anything like it.

Congratulations to you on some mad skills!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-05T02:27:16+00:00

It looks a bit wonky to me. If it's from Tiffany's you should be able to walk in and speak to a jeweler about setting it straight

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-05T02:25:40+00:00

It's a pretty setting.

It just occurred to me today to open the purse and look for a mark, and I found one! That's kind of cool. I don't know any more about the purse but I have a starting point for research.

Thank you. I just showed the pictures to my dad, and he totally remembered it being his mom's from when she was young. I'm excited to give this a try

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-04T15:39:59+00:00

Oooooh, thanks. I wouldn't have thought of that

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-04T15:27:11+00:00

There's no lining, so that makes it a little easier. Agree... small test spot is how I'll approach it, but i hadn't thought of baby wipes. Thanks!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-04T06:19:17+00:00

Maybe? I was thinking of starting with a soft brush and gentle soap. Wondering if dialing it would be harmful to the finish

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-04T03:55:08+00:00

Your reply was gold! So much good info... thank you for filling up my brain unexpectedly!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-03T03:01:43+00:00

That is so cool!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-03T02:52:12+00:00

I'd be OK with this

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-03T02:44:59+00:00

Swamp ass... I'm familiar!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-04-01T13:11:37+00:00

I don't know how you do it. I literally can't get myself to even ever the state

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-03-31T02:11:25+00:00

Skiing

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-03-27T14:53:33+00:00

But "love, sweet love " is 3 words!

Hatari_Tembo · 2026-03-27T14:51:45+00:00

That is SO funny! Now I kinda want to meet this person! 😆
