Part of me was still hoping that there’s a chance. I love how sturdy looking it is. Could you please tell me more about dyeing the leather?
Most leather dyes are painted on. It would be a bit tricky keeping it off the fabric. If you wanted to stay close to the original color, it would likely take several coats to cover. A darker color would cover easier.
Thank you for the advice. Last question, what kind of dye should I get?
There are suggestions in this thread. I don't have much experience with dyeing. Wait for some of the people who have done it. I wouldn't recommend Fiebings. I had terrible results with it.
Bikini lines!So I had ZERO interest in ever owning another Plaza again (anyone remember my Plaza disaster of 2020?) & I was being pretty good about my bag ban, but then, I accidentally found this burgundy small Plaza listed locally! It was a really good price & there were no shipping costs involved! I did the best I could to even out the sun fading & overall Im very happy with it!

I just get floored by the results you ladies can achieve. She is beautiful !!!
, right back atcha! 
Dye that yields good results & has great coverage will be on the pricier side. How much does that bag you’re looking to buy cost?
Yes...but it does make you think hard about it...and wonder what you can sacrifice to pay for itIt's a sad fact that bags/shipping and restoration equipment/products cost us significantly more in Canada, New Zealand and other countries. It doesn't seem to stop us, though!
I can’t help my scavenger ways, and grabbed a large wooden shipping crate that a neighbour had left for trash pickup. I think it was probably meant to send a painting. Anyways, the shipping label was still attached. It cost over $850CAD just to ship!!!!!It's a sad fact that bags/shipping and restoration equipment/products cost us significantly more in Canada, New Zealand and other countries.

I will think of that the next time I complain about shipping.
I did not like Fiebings either! That's a big ol' nope!
The Buckle Guy has turnlocks that are a perfect match if you can’t reuse the old ones. I reuse the back ring of the female part because the replacement has the divets but you can’t tell the difference with the new one vs. original.
Hello fellow rehabbers!
I received this bone city bag today and didn’t inspect it well enough before I accepted the order…it looks like there were stains on it that the last owner attempted to remove, but also removed the color as well. Do you have any suggestions to fix it? I was think of using Meltonian in ivory or winter white? Or do I use paint? I’ve never tried it before.

I would start with Meltonian. It is easy to use, cost-effective and good for the leather.
Let us know how it goes.More opinions are welcome.
