I inherited this 2005 First bag in Ice blue (I think) that’s in verrrry rough shape and incredibly discolored

I’m in lovvvvve with the original color and I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions to get it even slightly closer to the OG. without dying it? 😭

I'm sorry, it's not a help with the color restoration question, but I love the pop of those icy blue edges against the faded coloring. It's very unique!

There’s part of me that loves it too, but as soon as I saw the untouched leather under the front tab I literally gasped.

It’ll get worn either way, but shooting my shot to see if there’s anything that can be done!

I would say it depends on the main source of the discolouration but I’d hit it with a cleaner and lotion. Then depending on your artistic talent I’d mix white and blue leather cream to colour match the original leather and that should bring it back to life 90%

Yeah I think it’s just a light color that is is a touch dry and is faded by the sun. I can hunt around these forums, but do you have a cleaner or lotion you personally recommend!

And thanks for the tips!
