      I have been honored to work as a Leather Restoration Specialist for Coach, Inc. for many years. I have restored all their display bags, including their Vitrines and Craftsmanship Bars in flagship stores all over the world as well as the lobby of the new Coach, Inc. headquarters in Hudson Yards, NYC. I also restored all the bags for their 75th Anniversary projects including Collette in Paris, France, and Barneys in New York City. I've restored multiple bags for their VIP projects and VIP gifts and in collaboration with celebrities for charity projects. I was born and raised in the southern United States. This contributed to my love of quality craftsmanship, my care and honor of all things that may be passed down to the next generation, and my pride in hard work! These qualities have led me far in life and have certainly contributed to my love of Vintage Coach. I've been collecting vintage Coach for several decades. As my documentary for Coach, Inc. states, I see myself restoring the beauty of Coach for the next generation. My restored bags are as close to their original state as possible. I do not use paints, dyes, or other means of covering the natural leather. Leather needs to breath. It is my philosophy that the natural wear and patina is part of the leather and should not be mistaken for flaws. I currently have 1000's of gorgeous, Vintage Coach bags/items in inventory. If you don't see what you're looking for, please let me know!

I'm so proud to be part of the @coach family for nearly a decade! What a fun photo shoot with a throwback to a classic Coach ad.

A still from the Coach film " The Leather Restorer" done during Coach's 75th anniversary. The name "Debi the Restorer" stuck after this.

For just The Pony Express is one of the most sought after collectible vintage Coach bags. They are VERY RARE and HARD TO FIND! This one is from my personal collection, and has only been used a hand full of times. It is in excellent to nearly-new condition. I take immaculate care of all of my bags. My personal collection is kept shaped with bag shapers and in dust bags. You do NOT want to miss out on this once in a lifetime find. You will not find another pony express in this color and condition.

I was honored to restore this stunning 1980s Briefbag for a gentleman at the pop-up. He was gifted this bag in 1989 by his grandmother. It was a gift for his successful completion of law school. It is a treasured bag that he wants to keep forever. Now he can proudly carry this beauty. Thanks for the privilege of working on this bag @wexlerdanny! #TheCoachOriginals #vintagecoach #leatherrestoration #briefbag #vintagestyle #manbag #socal @coach @southcoastplaza (at South Coast Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kfQ5dnRzA/?igshid=cfmq4eehcvq7

It's always so much fun having the opportunity to restore bags for customers. It's a rare treat for me and them! This is a beautiful early vintage @Coach Convertible Clutch that I restored today. This bag belonged to the client's mother and was passed down to her, so it is something very special to her... Each bag has a story! I had to repair some areas of the binding and replace a turnlock. After several coats of rich conditioners, this bag restored beautifully, and is ready for another lifetime of use! ♥ #TheCoachOriginals #southcoastplaza #popup #leatherrestoration #vintagecoach #oldisnewagain #socal #beforeandafter (at South Coast Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XzBRmHxsi/?igshid=tvv17aamg75u
