Fat Cat Vintage

05/05/2025

Fat Cat has been busy these past few days! Coming very soon to the shop are a handful of fun new to you restored leather bags. It’s time to let Dooney do the shining (Coach, I still love you) in some beautiful pebbled leather in gorgeous shades. As well as what will be at The Emporium, I have a few goodies available for purchase pictured. Please reach out if interested! Quality purses make an excellent Mother’s Day gift! 🎁 👛👜

A little sale to tempt you…. Sometimes the bags that come through the Fat Cat door have imperfections that just can’t be refurbished without an invasive treatment like painting. But we still love these bags! They are still constructed of beautiful long lasting leather and want to continue their lives. So let me introduce: Less Than Ideal Deals. It’s a great chance to get a high quality bag at a highly affordable price and not have to feel bad about using and abusing that leather beauty in your daily life. Come by and see what’s on the shelf.

Some new projects! These two had special problems to address: the bone colored bag had spots on the front that couldn’t be fixed without paint so, I embraced the paint and went for some custom artwork! And on the brown bag, a severely deteriorated strap meant we needed a new one. What do you think of these looks? They’ll be popping up tomorrow!

Another process video mid action! This poor vintage Coach Daypack fell victim to some hungry mouse that did a number on the strap. Left with a missing chunk like this, the only course of action is leather filler. Think patching a wall but, in leather! This will take a few rounds of filler-sanding-filler and then finally paint. She won’t be a collectors piece but, she’ll still be able to live a good second life. Stay tuned for more!
