Should I dye a faded bag?

lee7781 · Feb 16th, 2007, 12:45 AM

Need some advice from anyone what has maybe done this...
I've got a black canvas Gucci bag (it's NOT logo print... just black canvas) and it's faded over time. I called my shoe/bag "God-like" cobbler, and he said he could dye it, and would put a protective sealant on it, but the dye might still rub off.

So, I'm hesitant to do it for fear that I will:
1.) end up ruining a shirt by wearing my bag (think- large square on
my side)
2.) never wear the bag again b/c of maybe ruining another shirt!

Has anyone dyed a bag? Any problems?

Have you tried asking your Gucci boutique about it?

^^^ I agree, I would try to do that before dying it.
