Where did you get that bag? Have you dyed stuff before? I bought a really cute white Judith Leiber bag and had it professionally dyed, black...and it's just not the same. Just giving you my "expert" (haha) 2¢. Good luck.

I purchased at a resale for under $5. I've been watching videos and purchased everything needed. I'm going to give it a go and yes, I need all the luck you can provide. Didn't someone on this thread dye their handbag?

Hey Tomsmom, it's been sitting around for a while. I was in a resale and she was hanging on a rack. I picked her up and couldn't believe the price. Believe me, I was trying to get through the line and get out. I checked for authenticity and couldn't believe it. Unfortunately, someone mistreated her. The interior is fine, but her logo was on backwards and she is dirty. I am going to dye, heck there isn't anything else to do. Pandemic is making is me come up with unbelievable things to do. I just purchased a shipping label maker, so I will not need to go to the post office. I will start selling and shipping again. I guess, since I retired, I'm trying to stay busy.

I’m glad you’re finding ways to stay busy. Congratulations on the retirement!
I dyed a thrifted Bal work bag. It was this awful used up white that didn’t look so great. I used Feiblings (spelling?) leather dye and it came out ok but we are our worst critics. For sure. I ended up giving the bag away to a co worker who was a Bal fanatic and she almost fell over lol! It was nice.

Okay, now I'm afraid. Maybe I should try on an old bag and if it turns out ok, then it's a go.
