My new Madison bag with the stain arrived today...in otherwise super nice condition. Fingers crossed, the bath seems to have worked! She’s drying now, and with some conditioner, I think the leather will be just perfect

OMG it showed up yesterday and it looks great. Just a lot of verdigris around the turnlock pieces and general wear and tear, but the piping and the strap are in great condition. I'm so excited to work on this bag after Thanksgiving.
I'm planning a weekend of rehabs! First up is this equestrian zip. I am looking forward to having a nice navy bag.I have this gorgeous duffle sac that's in fantastic condition minus the spot pictured below. I've dunked the bag, scrubbed it and CPR'd it. The spot dries hard as a rock. When it was wet, the spot was slippery (ew) on the inside of the bag. Almost like dried hand lotion or white glue.
Any suggestions how I can minimize the appearance of it? I thought of painting it, but since the spot is hard, not sure the paint will stick or blend in.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

It looks like the leather has been damaged so that nothing will bring it back. Paint is your best bet. I don't see why it wouldn't stick. It might be hard to blend it.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Since I am off until Tuesday, I am making my way through my rehab pile. My equestrian zip is soaking in the Blackrocks and I started my hippie flap today. Below is the before. It's in pretty good shape, just dry and dirty.
Pretty happy with my Madison satchel...there’s still a hint of the water stain on one side, but you have to look for it. Not sure why it wouldn’t come out on that side? She’s a beautiful bag. Glad I could give her a second chance
