Wow!! You did a fantastic job! It's beautiful. Hey, my husband turned me on to this leather conditioner called "Waximum" which DOES darken leathers evenly! So you still have some hope here. I've used it on vintage bags and wow it really evens out coloring. After I put that on I will put a coat of Kiki shoe shine, let that dry, then brush/burnish the leather -- it really makes a big difference. Congratulations to you!
