I have a “yellow” dinky (I don’t have any real yellow to compare it to, but it’s definitely a more yellow tone than a camel court I have) that was similar when I dunked it, at least like your first photo. It dried evenly after that.

Camel made after 1997, when they started using nickel, always had nickel hardware. Brass hardware suggests it isn't camel.
So I guess that "hoping, praying, and getting lucky" are still the best options for removing ink from fabric?
Its starting to dry, and its looking good so far.
I find acetone to be the most effective, second best is alcohol. After removing the ink, wash the fabric with soap and water because the acetone or alcohol can leave rings.
Look my friend, complete transparency, if I find a Lunch Box Zip in those colors, in very good condition, cheap, I may be inclined to keep them for moi!
But the point being, stay open as you browse online or when we can, in thrift stores, flea markets, etc. There are treasures out there.
Gorgeous. Yup, with a neutral that needs conditioning, you never know what shade you are getting.
Thanks for my morning chuckle!! And I get it about complete transparency.....ditto!! I am an old school treasure hunter/picker and have found a few bags in some interesting (i.e., questionable, dirty, gross) places
However, I do love finding and rehabbing these bags and giving them to friends and family....the more vintage Coach I can rescue and place in "new homes", the better!
So, after a recent bout of lust for Mahogany I got myself a Convertible Clutch. First impression: How is this not everybody's favorite color? I really really hope she stays so rich-looking after I'm done with her. The CC also seems to be a great size, she'll probably fit all my crap and then some.
She's a bit more beat up than I'm used to (doesn't show well in the photo though), but I trust I can make her pretty. She's going in the bath tomorrow, I might busy myself with polishing the hardware today.
Also, I finally get why people love Costa Rican leather so much (have a very stiff CR Court), she is the softest little thing.
Here's the before, with clean juicy Manor and dusty dog-behind!

Its one of my fav colours....but then again I dont have many bags in different colours.
Gorgeous color, that Costa Rica leather, yes. You will make her pretty, no doubt!
I think my mahogany improved with washing, yours should be even prettier after a bath. If I can find the pics I posted here of my manor I will send you a link.
