Hey everyone! Hopefully people still check this even if Kooba got regulated to the boonies.. 
Anyway, I bought a Kooba Natasha in really bad shape off ebay, for a great deal (I have a post hoping to get it authenticated as well) and I planned on just dyeing the leather - I'm thinking with Fiebings, I've worked with Tarrago before, but this seems like an epic job - and I just wanted to see what everyone's opinion was.
It is originally the caramel / cognac color, but I wasn't sure I liked it when I saw it online. I like it more now that I have it in front of me, but it's BADLY watermarked so I'd have to start over from scratch anyway. I originally planned on going black, because I don't have any black bags and I'll be using this for hauling stuff around and as a carry-on. Black seems practical.
So does anyone have any thoughts? Also, if you think I should go with the natural caramel color or something similar, could you let me know what type of dye you suggest / and the name of it? THANKS!
