How to Clean & Restore a Vintage Dooney & Bourke Carrier Bag | RARE Thrifted Find | Handbag Rehab

Welcome to The Velvet Muzzle! In today's video, we take you through our step-by-step process of cleaning and restoring a beautiful Vintage Dooney & Bourke Large Carrier Bag from the early 90’s making her about 33 years old! She's in the rare colorway of Deep Taupe All-Weather Leather with Burnt Cedar Trim.

Her overall condition was pretty nice, given her age. Her biggest issue was she had no shape. We could tell she’d been stored flat, and probably with something heavy on top of her, for a long time. There was no way we’d be able to get her back into shape without an extreme cleaning, so that’s exactly what we did! We’re excited to show you how we brought her back to life with a detailed restoration!

At The Velvet Muzzle, we specialize in giving preloved vintage luxury bags a second chance. Some of these treasures we keep for ourselves, while others are available for purchase on our website at www.thevelvetmuzzle.com.
