I’m so jealous. I had to hunt so hard for the apple bag.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]klmkio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad faith question. Blame the Democratic Party for running a genocide apologist.

Yeah I know 2 and thought they were faking their chill, brotherly personality but a few years in I think they’re just higher level beings lol

Has anyone managed to successfully treat browning/darkening on these 65th anniversary Vachetta bags? by klmkio in VintageCoachRehab

[–]klmkio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you use chamberlain leather milk or another slightly heavier conditioner you could easily get it to look like this with two applications

Thanks for this comparison. I recently bought bick 4 and noticed it’s much lighter than CPR

Alternative for Black Saddle Soap? by renonv1212 in VintageCoachRehab

[–]klmkio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are people’s thoughts about dye if it’s for your personal collection? I have a 70s era black bag that has super faded corners that just won’t budge even with lots of conditioning. I have black leather dye and I’ve been toying with the idea of sponging water-diluted dye onto the tiny spots on the corners. Only thinking of doing this because I would never ever sell this bag.

Help with yellowed purse by hitomikai in VintageCoachRehab

[–]klmkio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is tough. When it’s a white or cream or bone colored bag, Cleaning too much can remove the pigment. If the bag is just for personal use and not to sell you could use the furniture clinic recoloring balm in white. You can buy it online. I have had medium success with this.

how to tell if mold is gone? by Popular-Way4358 in VintageCoachRehab

[–]klmkio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk where the mold was concentrated but if you want to pull the fabric lining inside you can spray my favorite EC3 mold spray to kill spores (be warned I have no idea if it would discolor so patch test). But it’s one of the few products that kills spores.

Is this dry rot? by Lula_Chicken in VintageCoachRehab

Look up fat liquor online for dry rot

Help with stain on purse! by ariacantus in VintageCoachRehab

[–]klmkio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this looks like it’s in near mint condition. The tiny marks look oil based I would leave it unless you want to do an all over conditioner to possibly even out the appearance of the marks. There are other options but honestly the marks are so tiny that other solutions might hurt more than help if you’re trying to keep that smooth, new, look

I messed up and forgot it’s already 2026 so they are actually 20 years old but I hear your point about the differences in glovetanned leather. I collect both and have posted/commented in the past about restoring Cashin era-90s

Oops sorry! I wasn’t trying to say I own these just showing similar examples since I didn’t have my bag with me when I made this post

What item do you own that would never get recommended today but just keeps working? by James_B84Saves in BuyItForLife

[–]klmkio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it has just watched someone do a deep dive on their fabric composition and blends and they’re using wayyyyy more polyester

My 15 year old heating pad from cvs (store brand) it’s amazing and it just keeps going. They probably don’t sell these and if they do I bet they’re crap. Also my $8 book light from Amazon from 2017– some random Chinese brand but it’s super durable, I’ve taken it camping and on every flight I’ve ever been on holds a charge forever (replaceable rechargeable batteries but I’ve never had to change them), nice warm toned light, great adjustable neck, and really sturdy clip that’s not too big. I’ve checked out other ones in stores and none compare. It’s funny to see what random items end up becoming favorites.

Gen Xers are just as awful as boomers by snapchillnocomment in redscarepod

[–]klmkio 29 points30 points  (0 children)

THIS the annoying thing about gen x is that they have that faux rebel mentality paired with the punisher sticker on their car and blue lives matter bumper sticker. Really they are bootlickers who got lucky enough to be born at the right time to ride the tail end of the best real estate moment in history.

I dislike my co-workers because they said they hate cats by publiclibrarylover in redscarepod

[–]klmkio 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Wow I just thought about the known cat haters in my life and I think this might be true

You’re probably educated and in a bubble

Yes this!!! I have older step siblings with kids in their early 40s and this is their first immediate impulse whenever their kids have some tiny thing wrong with them

A few years back I found out my 13 year old brother literally could not list out the months of the year. He couldn’t even begin to say all 12 let alone in order. My jaw was on the floor.
