Thanks so much for sharing this work! I have not dyed a bag before. Did the dye change the texture of the leather at all? Do you have to seal the bags afterward, or anything, or would you say the color seems permanent?
It didn't change much of leather feel, was dry out from soaking so long. But lots of leather cpr bring the bag's back to normal. I didn't seal it, the color will bleed a lot if get wet, but after drying, layers of leather cpr, finished with Renapur, then buff with microfiber cloth, the color won't transfer under normal use unless get wet. There are products can be used to seal dyed leather, but I didn't bother.
When I dunked a 65th anniversary Whiskey Ali, the color was bleeding like crazy, these dyed bags won't be any worse than that.
( While use the corner of microfibre cloth appling leather cpr, the dye bleed into cpr, but I just kept on rubbing cpr into leather untill all absorbed)
Finished another easy black rehab! The worn piping came right back with a bath and conditioning on this one, too.

I just love a Bella Court! Beautiful!
Hi, ladies! Only recently returned to rehabbing after a very long hiatus, and I've been going a bit rehab crazy these last few weeks.
I just finished a quick condition and polish on a City Bag I was gifted by a friend who knows I love vintage Coach bags. It's not a dramatic difference in appearance, but it feels so much softer! It was so stiff and not pleasant to the touch originally, that I honestly thought it might have been made of vinyl (though it still would have been a lovely thought for a gift), but one of the lovely ladies here authenticated it for me. Now I'm so happy I gave it a chance! I was a little bummed by the fact that I couldn't get what I thought were watermarks completely out no matter how much I scrubbed or polished, but they're fairly faint, so maybe they won't be too noticeable?
Does anyone know what color this is, by the way? I'm generally a British Tan, Navy, and Black girl, so I have no clue of the shade name.

I would guess putty, but am not an expert.
Idk if I'm in the right place but trying to find out if Coach made a camel/nickel Lagacy Rambler.
Thank you! Yes, used just a little bit of Dawn and I gently scrubbed every inch of the bag with fingertips to get the dirt off.
depending on the year, it could be taupe. It looks great!
