I found a large vermillion phoebe on poshest for a great price...the seller had it listed as a small loganberry but the creed patch was for the vermillion. So I snapped it up and was thrilled to have it out for delivery just three days later. Here is when things took a wrong turn.
I had to leave the house that day to go on an errand, the weather was horrendous with heavy thunderstorms. So when I got home I came into the house through the garage so the little one wouldn't get wet .
After being home an hour and having put the little one down for a nap I checked the online tracking to see if the postman had been (I expected a delay due to weather), to my horror it said the package had been delivered to the front porch over an hour before.
I rushed to the porch and there sat the drenched box . Upon bringing it in I noticed blue dye on the box... My heart sank, inside was the lovely purse wrapped only in blue tissue paper which had leaked dye onto the leather .

I was horrified Snd quickly got on TPF to see what I could do..... Baby wipes, rubbing alcohol, leather conditioner all helped remove a large portion of the stain but also a bit of color.
Next day I went to Joann to get paint and after much experiment I found a mix that was pretty close to the vermillion. I still have to condition and then waterproof ( waiting on more Apple from
Amazon) but I think it's going to be useable and the average person on the street Prob won't even notice the flaw.
