I know that a few gal's have had good luck with dying their leather Coach bags. I have my eye on one and it's a bag I've wanted for YEARS that is HTF and I don't want WHITE!
I want to go with something dark/neutral but it's a legacy bag so I don;t want o get too far off from colors they have actually done legacy bags in! KWIM?
Here's the link to the dye's I'm looking at. I plan on trying the dye on a white mini or something else small in a similiar leather before I ruin a perfectly good bag. If need be I could always "recycle" it via the bay or something if I think it'll ruin the bag!!!

The colors I'm considering IN the order in which I like them. I hate to go black because I have soooooo man black bags, but I'm not ruling it out.
#11~Borbeaux (thinking this would maybe be raisin 'like')
#42~Mink
#15~Dark Grey
#18~Black...plain old black
I know that if I make this commitment and DO dye the bag I'll never be able to re-sell her and if I WOULD I'd get a small fraction of what she'd be worth otherwise. I'm OK with that.
Give me your input!!!
