Are you Bold Enough?//Crazy Customization on my Balenciaga Day.

So dstar, do those Target leather wipes work in cleaning up the leather? Did they get out all the pen marks? I have a pen mark on a bag that I can't get out. TIA.

I am SO inspired by you! You have rescued a disgustingly dirty and faded bag and breathed new life into her. YAY!

The wipes only got out surface dirt. The preparer in my dye kit with the dye really did it. I would recommend picking a color that is close to your original and use the brush on the small ink spots. The leather of my bag is not dry, cracking, or rough. It is smooshier and smoother than the original.

Wow, please keep us updated with more pictures. Great job. :tup:

I'm interested to know more as I can forsee myself dyeing my SB some day. It's been fading little by little

My bag was MUCH worse than this baby blue and I was able to get great results.

I am wondering in the final result if you will have to worry about color transfer? Perhaps you can use some kind of sealer after you do the final dye?? Does sealer come with the kit? A man at Tandy Leather sold me a sealer for shoes that I was redying. Takes a lot of nerve to dye a B bag!!!!! Can't wait to see pix. I recently glued my split tassels together ( thread is in Bal Care and Maintenance thread).

I am pretty proud of myself about that operation. Please post final pictures.

I gave the the bag a 2nd coat in areas where needed today. Still looks great! I am waiting on my tassles to come from BalNY. Then I put together the finished product.
