Hello. I bought a Saphir leather conditioner for my vintage Box Calf Kelly. I tried applying it to the base of the bag. Is it normal for some color to transfer on the cloth my using to wipe the bag? Thank you!

Hi docride! I stupidly rubbed saphire renovateur onto my Hermes berenia faubourg bag, the colour of the berenia now looks blotchy and uneven. I’m so upset. Can I fix this ? I have attached a photo for reference! Thank you

Color touch ups ?
Some of these have been mentioned prior:
Tarrago color dyes
Refinish colors by wood n stuff
Saphir creme renovator
Angelus color dyes
please don’t ask me which colors for each leather color ..these usually must be custom mixed and you must have a good eye to do the mixing and application
Generally I recommend that you have a professional take care of color touch ups
I won’t be guiding or teaching color touch ups.
i thank You for understanding
Sincerely, doc

Hello again @docride ! Foolishly I left my cadena hanging from the tirette of my vache liegee HAC 40 for the past few days, and the metal has now left a dark mark in the arch pattern you mention above - I tried to see if rubbing it very lightly with a soft clean dry eraser would work, but to no avail. Do you have any suggestions for removing metal-borne marks caused by swinging cadenas? In this case it’s definitely a dark mark on, and not a cut into, the leather….To protect the beauty and value of your beautiful Hermes bag
DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
Hang the metal lock from the turn lock or have it swinging loose from the tirrette it can cut the leather into arch pattern (leather or exotic skin covered locks are usually ok)
Spray perfume into or on to your bag.... this is very difficult to remove Also be careful of spraying perfume on to yourself with your bag near by...
Let your pets use them as toys or bathrooms
Use baby wipes to clean them it can remove the finish of your bag!
Let mean and or jealous people near your bag with a sharpie pen View attachment 3834969 if you like them and they like you then its ok
Keep them in a lighted display case or window unless you want color fade and zoning
Let some company treat your bag with a spray on plastic coating to try and keep it looking new forever eek the leather will dry out below and it will look like heck guaranteed in a couple of years down the road
Use products made for human skin on your bags like sun block or tanning lotion, face or hand cream
OCD care cleaning or conditioning too often can remove the bag's finish and can overly soften it leading to losing its shape and stretching out. Yes cleaning or conditioning with a product every day is way too much, a simple wipe down with soft dry clean cloth will suffice most days after use unless you had a spill or greasy or sticky stuff on the handles then clean it of course
Placing your bag on top of your car while multi tasking and driving off with your bag on top of your car ... yes this has happened!
Leaving the plastic on the hardware ... this can lead to pitting when moisture sneaks up undeneath
Bring your bag to the hair salon where it can get spilled on with hair dye! do yourself a favor and bring a plastic bag to cover it or leave it at home!
refuse to do basic up keep or send it to the pros for general spa services at least every few years
Send your bag to have it sprayed with leather paint to change the color because you are bored with the orginal
And im sure there are more....
hi, docride doesnt reply here. check out the attached link and maybe post your question there instead.

Hi there, wear with dirt on it can sometimes be lightened , however then you have lightened worn areas , the dark handles can be degreased some but it won’t look like original color again will be lightened but not necessarily uniformly. Stains once set are generally permanent. And that’s the...
