4 Things to Know About Peeling Coating on Coach Bags

It’s the protective coating, not the leather Most Coach bags, especially lighter colors and smooth leathers, have a top finish that can peel from sweat, heat, or friction.

Conditioner won’t fix it Polishes and conditioners just sit on top of the peeling coating and won’t reattach it.

Coach repair is your best option If the bag is recent, Coach can re-dye or recoat it for a fee, sometimes free if it’s a defect. Out of warranty, use Angelus leather paint or a pro restorer.

Don’t peel or scrub it yourself That makes the damage worse. For your next bag, choose unfinished leather like pebbled or natural to avoid this plastic coating.
