Did the stains come out in the wash? Did you use anything specific to even out the color? Looks wonderful!
The stains just came out in the wash and the colour just appeared like that, I used Leather CPR and Renapur. I think I was just super lucky that it came out that way.
Could I get some advice please? I’m interested in this Bag https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/324205466074 but is red really tricky to rehab?
It's gorgeous! I don't think it even needs any rehab besides maybe a little shaping!
Yes it does look to be in really good condition, I was just thinking about dunking to reshape and worrying about all the colour bleeding out. Do you know what the name of this bag is?
Red can be strangely hard to rehab. The red bag in the link looks to be in very clean condition. Perhaps with just a bath to freshen and shape, and a very light hand with conditioner? Or, you might find that it does not need any treatment. BTW, does the seller include the strap drop measurement? I have NYC bags with shorter straps, just mentioning.
I’m not sure about the strap measurement but I’ve had it authenticated by Beenburned.
I ordered some Saphir products. Black juvacuir for my UA Stewardess and then the blue jean and cream color/product combos that @MrsGAM suggested. My attempt to make periwinkle paint went: too blue, too purple, to blue, too purple, not dark enough, still too Blue, now too purple, now it’s down the drain. I don’t have the patience for that.
I dunked my Saddle Bag! 
I vacuumed out the inside, which was quite clean, considering how much usage it had, given the wear. Not a pen mark or smudge of makeup to be found. It finished dripping and I have it stuffed with a towel. Will put a little CPR on shortly. I'll post a pic and describe the process after I eat some dinner and get a load of laundry in.

I am going to try the Saphir. Would you add the blue jean surfine to the cream renovatrice or start with the blue jean and then add the renovatrice to it?
As promised, sorry for the poor lighting. If we have a little sun tomorrow, I can get a good afternoon picture. The process, 10 minutes in warm water (kitchen sink) with about 1/2 ounce of Leather Therapy leather cleaner. I wore disposable gloves as I did not want to scratch the leather with nails. I did a gentle toothbrush scrub of the suede inside and just massaged the leather surfaces. Then it had a 10 minute rinse in cool water with 1 cup of white vinegar. I let it drain for 10 or 15 minutes upside down on the LT bottle. Then I laid it on a towel and stuffed with another. About 30 minutes later I decided to apply Leather CPR, wearing gloves, with my fingers. I moved the CPR around, making sure it was absorbed for the most part. When I was all done, I patted it down with a paper towel. Will tomorrow, most likely after work.I dunked my Saddle Bag!
