Oh wow, thank you so much! From what I’ve seen on the authenticator thread it does seem like a legit serial number but I’ll post it on there and have them look at it just in case. I mainly look on Mercari for bags so I def wouldn’t have seen this, so thank you again!
It's really hard to tell in the pictures, but that bag might turn out to be navy blue.
I just bought these two products to give it a go at "refreshing" the color on my small framed pouch. We'll see what we shall see! If I like it, yay! If not, we'll probably go the dye the bag route. The scuff cover product is actually leather dye, it's got the same ingredients as my other kiwi leather dyes. The other is a cream, and I'm pretty sure not a "polish."
Good point! Thanks, I'll postpone doing anything dramatic to my Elderberry (I think) nubuc
That's probably a good idea. My Elderberry bag still has a spot on the bottom that simply won't brush away, but I'm still no willing to potentially ruin the bag with a dunk. Who really knows the spot is there besides me???
I tried both, and I didn't like how either looked. Don't quite know what I'm going to do with this bag. I scrubbed off both products, with leather CPR before they dried into permanence. I pulled out the inner flap and looked at the original leather color on the back of the edges there, so pretty. So pristine! Ah, the ravages of time... ETA: I think some part of the product is still there, because it does look better than before. But not all cakey and weird like it did when I applied it. Maybe I've invented a new technique. Put it on, scrape it off, and then you have a light application.

I just watched a whole rehab video and the lady did the same thing, she kept saying, it is dark at first but trust the process, once it soaks in and dries the color will return. I think the key is to coat evenly. New here and not sure if it is allowed, but if so I will leave a link to another video I just watched where she takes you through cleaning a LV w/ Vachetta & Canvas.Oh, & while im asking Newbie questions: any thoughts on how to remove marker from suede? Yeah, I know... I'm a mess
I think that is the trick. Whatever you use, put it on very thin and build up layers. Maybe take the colorants you bought and mix them with CPR, then try applying them.I tried both, and I didn't like how either looked. Don't quite know what I'm going to do with this bag.

The easiest repair is to use fabric puffy paint. Or you could use leather cement, which is similar to white glue. If you use that, the hole will be repaired but you'll still be able to see the rip. The puffy paint will hide it. It takes a bit of finesse to get it to look perfect but it can be done. I've done it many times.
