Dye her.
Definitely dye.
Just stunning!I would like to share a very special rehab today from a very special person
My good friend @Morgan_Bellini found & gifted me this courier because she knew I had wanted a regular sized one for a very long time. The original owner had the piping replaced by Coach & as a result, it looks like a beautiful spectator courier! Thank you x 1000 for being the reason I have both of my couriers MB, you are the absolute best! I can’t believe this bag is mine!

Oh thank you. Where did you buy that size screw on D ring?I replaced the rings on a small black plaza with the screw on equestrian ones. The d rings on my bag were also damaged like yours. Here’s my old post if you wanna see it:

Court are nice..I have two..one is the one I gave my mum which she loves as it stands upright and she can get into it easily...and a red one that rehabed fabulously. A red one sounds absolutely dreamy.forum.purseblog.com
Oh, I see - the 3/4" D rings from the Buckle Guy!
I always wonder if there was a stain they were trying to hide. I wonder how it would with more purple/violet dye with the the black design just visible … yeah black would a straightforward dye.
I can't get over how gorgeous this bag is. You know me, I LOVE patina. And I love the unique spectator look. Even if you do end up getting another big Courier this one will always be special I think.I would like to share a very special rehab today from a very special person

I know you know how much I love that bag!!!
Hello Lake Effect! Wonderful to hear and "see" you!side note, catching up here - I have turned several bags inside out. Generally the larger the bag and softer the leather, the easier it is. For example my enormous haha worn Sling Bag. Turning it inside out while dunking last year to give it a good scrub. I saw a young woman do it with a Court on a YT videoto vacuum out every nook and cranny. She just worked that puppy while keeping up a stream of dialogue. It must have been really smooshy leather. I have a Court I dunked and conditioned, but the leather is such that I would not attempt, even during a dunk. My Ranch is smooshy and I could do it if needed. My Stewie, not so much. I think it will vary bag to bag.
If the leather is soft and there are no stitching issues, I don't see it as a problem with the seams. The softness of the leather, imo would allow the manipulation. If I felt I was forcing a seam in some way, I would not proceed.
Just gave it a try on a #9965, after a bit of wrestling and feeling I was harming the bag, all is well. Alrighty then!
I do know of another tpfer who turned a Stewie inside out and after manhandling a #9965, I cannot fathom doing the same to a Stewie.
Well other than the fact that Im obsessed with how it looks & carries, Im too sentimentally attached nowI can't get over how gorgeous this bag is. You know me, I LOVE patina. And I love the unique spectator look. Even if you do end up getting another big Courier this one will always be special I think.
. Sorry, you’ll just have to come steal it while I sleep!

Having said that, I have been watching https://www.ebay.com/itm/234699305517?ViewItem=&item=234699305517 - so if yours is the tortured one, lol what is THAT ??? (I have been watching because I'm curious if someone will actually purchase it)The paint on it looks so thick! I wonder how hard it would be to remove it.I'm going with the flow here, dye dye dye
Does this person think they are Jean-Michel Basquait?I'm going with the flow here, dye dye dye
If so, they need a reality check. That is not attractive. That is blasphemy.
