2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[lynne_ross]

I've been carrying my bright yellow Balenciaga City all week, because I needed the extra room, and suddenly I looked down yesterday and... eek! ... there was color transfer from my black jeans on the handle that's closest to my body.

I've had this bag for four years, but the jeans are fairly new (just bought this year) so I guess I should have washed them before carrying the bag. But I've never, ever, EVER had an issue with color transfer with any of my bags, so it honestly never crossed my mind to watch out for this. Lesson learned.

Fortunately, tPF to the rescue! I searched out a number of solutions, but the one I chose was a product called "Bye Bye Dye" from Lovin' My Bags. I've used a lot of their products over the years, and I've always been very pleased, so I'm keeping my fingers, toes, and eye crossed that this one works as promised.

This sucks! I use lexol ph wipes on my h bags when something happens to them. It cleans out everything including colour transfer. I keep them on hand at home since my kids have managed to spill stuff on my bags before!
Good luck with cleaning it!

I hope you are successful in removing the stain. Let us know how it works. Afterwards, condition your bag. I find that conditioner on my light colored bags helps. If there is transfer, it is on the conditioner, not soaked into the leather, and cleans off. My favorite to avoid color transfer is Blackrock leather n rich. It also helps the leather glow.

Here is my new bag. Bleu de nord Kelly 28 ghw. I am curious how it compares to my other hermes blues, so will take comparison pic once home. I believe it fits well with my collection and can wait to use it! I posted my story in hermes Paris thread since I always benefit from what others post.
I also bought a bunch of other items on this trips, all things that were on my shopping list!

It's gorgeous! I love this shade of blue.

Me too! It looks like a blue I might be able to use in colder months. I bought a camel coloured Burberry cashmere jacket too so hoping it will go together for chilly weather - like now actually! Freezing here!

Also, I believe there are a few shawl lovers on here. I bought my first lv shawl yesterday. Went with a cream/mocha colour. DH at first said he hated the lv on it but when I tried it on he loved it. I love the solid colour options since all my hermes shawls are colourful.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've conditioned the bag with LMB products, but in looking back at my notes, it's been a really long time. Like, four years. Clearly, the conditioner had worn off. At least, I'm assuming conditioners DO wear off over time? I don't know anything about the Blackrock products. Are they sold everywhere?

This is a stunning shade of blue. Sort of an "Atlantic Ocean in wintertime" blue, if that makes sense. Congratulations... great purchase!

Sounds gorgeous. It sounds as though it will be perfect with your new Burberry coat, although I'm sure some of your colorful H shawls will also work.

It's on Amazon and ebay. I've never found it locally. It has some wax in it which adds some waterproofing and protection. I don't know if you can get that level of protection from a regular conditioner.

Hope you can get the color transfer off! When I was not yet on TPF, my sister got denim transfer on my light pink Coach swingpack which I lent to her. I washed it with soap and water (can’t even recall what soap (detergent?) I used then). It worked but not completely, but passable. I didn’t even think of conditioning the leather after.[emoji3]

DH and I went to the Paris outlets today, first time and we come here every year. It was fun. It was freezing cold and raining so was nice to get out of city for a few hours. Anyways, they had a longchamp outlet so I picked up a le pliage for my mom and one for our Nanny - rewards for managing our kids while we are away! Hard to resist them here since they are SO much cheaper.

This is my “problem” with Longchamp nylon. Sometimes I get them just to have a souvenir because they are fairly affordable.

What a beautiful Kelly! It’s a very unique shade of blue and will look great with your camel Burberry coat.

That does make sense! I is a true blue to me.

I think they are great gift. I am kicking myself I did not get one for myself now! I really love my travel one but plan to look at airport yet.
