The Amazing $30 Dooney & Burke Bag

Several weeks ago, my husband and I were browsing around this great vintage/thrift shop in Golden, Colorado.  I was just checking out some old aprons and hankies when my husbands yells for me from across the store.  I go over to where he is standing and he points up at a Dooney & Burke bag that is pretty dirty but most likely real.  It was marked at $65!  Turns out that the store was having a 50% off of everything in the store sale that day and the girl who rang me up gave it to me for $30!! 

I got it home and took all the tissue paper out of the bag and saw how disgustingly dirty it really was.  That was ok though because it was a used $30 Dooney & Burke bag.  I was determined to find a way to clean up to look like new.

Baking soda, a little water and a toothbrush will clean anything!  I made some baking soda paste and scrubbed that thing inside and out.  I scrubbed the hardware with some Windex.  I did manage to make it look like new!
