I am another person who is having problem with my beloved 07 Black City fading and turning green. I was in the love-hate relationship with this bag. I hate that it is turning greener and greener that I even posted it on here about selling it. I even purchased a F/W08 Parttime to replace it. But I just couldn't make myself into selling it becoz it has the most wonderful leather I have ever experience in Bal. I have been really frustrated with this decision that my beloved SO started to get annoyed. 
Then last night, he came up with a really weird idea! I talked to him about dying my bag with Terrago Dye, following what some of us here had done. But told him that the problem was I couldn't find Terrago dye in Thailand. Then he suggested why didn't I try to use the Terrago Shoe Shine in black (no. 18).
I tried that!!! And the result was amazing!!!
The bag is now BLACK, jet black! the leather is still as soft as it used to be. I am a really happy girl right now 
For those of you who maybe worried about the transfer of the color onto your clothes, I must say at this moment, it looks fine. No stickiness, no color transfer has happened yet. You just have to make sure that after you apply the Shoe Shine, you left it to be absorbed for a while and then you polish it in circular just like you polish your shoes. I used a soft cloth to polish my bag, I did it for about 30 minutes until color stop transfering onto the cloth.
I think I need to try it out for a week to see if color transfer is a problem. If not... I think I have found out a really handy way in restoring the blackness of my black Bal. But for the moment, I am such a happy girl! Thanks to my dearest SO.
I will come back to report how is my bag doing in a week time! I will also try to post the before and after treatment picture, maybe tomorrow. And will take a new set of picture after a week time!
