Oh sweety, with the way you described it pre-project, I'm thinking anything you do to your bag will be an improvement of some sort! Hope she turns out well!

Had the condition been better, you wouldn't have been inspired to take risks and get creative! Can't wait to see how it turns out, I'm sure it will be fabulous!

This is my first round of the restoration. The finished product is a work in progess, as we speak. This is what I have so far for all those eager Balenciagers!

Thanks, I cannot wait until it is finished. I am really going by the book to allow for the best dye results. As you can see, the bag was originally in really bad shape. Now the leather looks marshmellowy. =)
