[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 140602, member: 267"]...which could ruin it, if I'm not careful! So it's in terrific shape, having seen only light use, if any(?). It still has the original key and store tag from Italian boutique! But it does have some issues: 1. The brushed brass fittings have oxidized 2. The dark leather scuffs if you look at it. I tried using Wink with q-tip on the brass, just to see if it would lift the oxidation. Nope. Haven't even touched the leather. I used to take things like this to a local shoe repair shop that does Nordstrom repairs on Coach, Gucci etc. He was very good on repairs, but ruined the finish on a Coach kiss-lock bag I'd carried for years, so I'm hesitant to take it to him. HELP!![ATTACH=full]37201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]37205[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
