Now, I'm afraid. I am dyeing her

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

Don’t be afraid! I was too but the bag turned out ok, really. Just follow the directions and wear gloves you’ll do fine!

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?

I think @SouthernPurseGal took on a Chanel like that one, and it turned out gorgeous.

You know what I wonder? If you take whatever conditioner you use, add some paint to that and the apply. Theoretically the leather should be softer. Does that make any sense to anyone who has dyed a bag?

I've added conditioner when I've done little touchups. It doesn't go on as opaque though so you may get streaky coverage. Generally, you usually prepare a bag for dyeing by removing any conditioner that might prevent the dye from penetrating.

I have watched a couple of videos. "Handbag Facelift | How to Dye a Chanel Lambskin Leather Wallet" on YouTube

I remember using a prep treatment before dying the bag. I can’t remember what I used though.
