Won From Live Professional Auction In London England. The auctioneer made no mention to repairs or modifications to the bag. We know the history of these Ralph Lauren bags originate to the 1980’s/1990’s and we’re produced with the finest coated canvas and waxed leather.
Upon receipt of the parcel, we immediately realized the straps had been painted rather than having a coat of wax applied to them as the care instructions indicated.
We alerted the auctioneer and we set to refurbishing the straps.
As the straps were neither prepped nor sealed, the paint came off easily, and we utilized RENAPUR Leather Basalm to rehydrate the straps instead of wax.
The straps require additional treatments with renapur leather basalm, but are back to their original condition.
Applying REANPUR with the sponge that comes with the screw lid container, and applying sparingly, will keep the strap water resistant, and supple.

@marccorbin979 our description was overwritten when we crosslisted. We need to update it; we will do that as soon as we write to you of the straps…

@marccorbin979 we utilized leather conditioner to gently remove the paint over successive days and once fully removed, used yellow saddle soap to ensure the straps were clean. We blotted them dry and applied a thin coat of leather conditioner before applying RENAPUR LEATHER BASALM. This is like a wax, but more pliable.

@marccorbin979 it will keep the straps from becoming brittle, and will keep them pliable. If you need any assistance or guidance, please ask. We have worked with leather and metal for several decades, and use our grandparents recommendations and teachings when restoring errors we discover along the way.
